100% correct...people are choosing to blindly accept the excuses offered by someone who lied on the stand at the bond hearing. LMAO. They need to go read helenejen's thread about the people changing the locks on their son's new home who were held at gunpoint (AR-15s, no less) and then arrested by the police...there are a ton of great posts there about one's freedom to walk without being confronted by gun-toting thugs. Some people are unable to digest the fact that the murder of an innocent teen is a tragedy.
Read the first paragraph. There is more that will come out. It's not over yet.
The judge, Kenneth R. Lester Jr., said he would revisit the issue if it became clear that the Zimmerman family had control of the money at the time of Mr. Zimmerman’s bail hearing last week, when the family said it could not afford the $1 million bond requested by the prosecution.

Let me know when he revisits it, until then I bid adieu.
When I heard his mother was from Peru, my first thought was that he might be part Afro Peruvian (descended from African slaves in Peru) I am part Afro Peruvian, I consider myself mixed...I will check off African, Hispanic, Other if asked on forms or a census, I tell people my full "nationality"...I have what is considered black features...my skin color is considered olive complected...if I'm in the sun any length of time I am darker than my light skin black friends...most white people when they first meet me think I'm white...most black people know I'm part black when they first meet me...
To answer your question, no it will never be considered a black on black crime...
I don't believe GZ is a racist, I believe he was an over zealous neighborhood watch guy who wanted to be the hero and made a tragic choice when he got out of his truck...
I believe that the police department did not handle this properly because Trayvon was a young black male and made their own assumptions, if they didn't look at him this way I believe the SPD would have made every attempt to find out who he was, i.e. check his cell phone, knock on doors all along that back corridor to find out if he lived or was staying there and from what I heard GZ's clothes were not secured as evidence nor was he tested for alcohol/drugs from what has been reported, the real racial profiling IMO was done by the cops...
"Wolfinger made the decision early in his current term, his office said. He wants to spend more time with his family, spokeswoman Lynne Bumpus-Hooper said."
Maybe he doesn't want an investigation now that all eyes are on the way he conducts business? Just thinking out loud. Does everyone really believe the Black community has this much influence and Chief Lee, Attorney Wolfinger (and who knows who's next) are stepping down? Wolfinger had previously announced he would run in November.
I don't think it is so much the black community but I think every one will be paying more attention.
He also took students on tours to police stations, jails and firing ranges in Seminole County. The reason I first had the information about his parents is from his application for the Citizen's Police Academy. I don't think it's available on the official web site any more. However, you can find it online.
I can't copy & paste from it, but in my entire adult life I never mentioned my parents in an application for anything, even a volunteer position. We can't say for sure if it helped him get out of jams, but I'm sure it didn't hurt.
There is no eyewitness (who has come forward) to the beginning of the fight. NO ONE knows who threw the first punch. We do know that Trayvon was dead less than a minute after his phone call to his gf ended.

I agree.
