Regardless of Zimmerman's stupidity, it is possible - EVEN POSSIBLE - that Trayvon Martin wasn't the saint you seem to think he was? And is it possible - EVEN POSSIBLE - that he actually assaulted Zimmerman?
Possible?
I didn't say the kid was a saint. Show me exactly where I said that. You might want to read my post again, then put yourself in his parent's shoes.
Obama could have left his comment to 'Well, I’m the head of the executive branch, and the Attorney General reports to me so [I'd rather not] make any statement to make sure that we’re not impairing any investigation that’s taking place right now.'
How do you think Zimmerman should have answered the question--- 'No comment.'
And then he would have been attacked for being "insensitive"
Something tells me that the tide of evidence is turning AGAINST Trayvon Martin. Suddenly it's something to be quiet about...
Talk about delusional and wishful thinking.
And who put race into the situation? The "guy" following someone who's black and looks suspicious? The detective who tried to change a witness' statement? The Chief who pushed his own opinions into the investigation?
What would you do if your son were killed? He was unarmed, not participating in a crime, coming back from a convenience store?
What would you do if the police knew who shot him, and no arrests were made?
I would do EXACTLY what Trayvon Martin's parents are doing...keep his name in the papers until something is done.
Don't judge these people till you've walked a mile in their shoes, and pray to God you never have to make that walk.
I pray that I never do have to walk in their shoes, but my question is still valid. After starting the controversy they did, in the manner they did, isn't it a little late?
I also understand, that nobody but Mr Zimmerman and the eyewitness are the only two talking/breathing people who can tell us what really happened.
Here's a question, what if Trayvon actually DID go after Zimmerman and try to get his gun?
Whatever happened, asking for a peaceful resolution, AFTER starting a war, is a little much.
AND, this thread is about the fact that Mr Martin is now calling for a PEACEFUL solution, AFTER all the fuss has erupted!
Maybe, maybe not. Maybe they see there is too much focus of their son's death to be racial and want to bring it back to what they want - justice, and leaving the racial side out of it - which should have never come into it in the first place.
It's a little late to turn that ship around.
Zimmerman was tried in a court of public opinion. Period. At first it seemed (at least to me) like such a no-brainer. According to the gossip, Zimmerman followed Martin into a park and basically executed him.
Then more actual news began coming out. Some (supposed) witnesses saw something different. They say they saw Martin assault Zimmerman.
But none of that matters now. This was turned in a racial circus from Day 1.
And who put race into the situation? The "guy" following someone who's black and looks suspicious? The detective who tried to change a witness' statement? The Chief who pushed his own opinions into the investigation?
Al Sharpton? Jesse Jackson?
Has it occurred to you that this might not be quite as clear-cut as the media first wanted us to believe?
i understand the AA community moral uprising about the death of a young man by means of a firearm.
what i do not understand is their utter apathy to black on black violence.
black on black 9mm pants down killings occur daily on the hood and not a peep is uttered.
in fact black on black violence sells lots of movie tickets.
its not what is done, its who does it??????
Does the average person have the ability to have arrest records disappear far enough so that he can purchase and carry a firearm after previous signs of violence?
I pray that I never do have to walk in their shoes, but my question is still valid. After starting the controversy they did, in the manner they did, isn't it a little late?

No, not really. Unless you have lost a child this way...your question holds no water.
And, I believe it has been answered by more than one poster.
I ask you..what would you do if your child was shot and killed in this manner. I can tell you, my ugly assed face would be front and center on tv every night until justice is done.
