Sounds like that neighborhood had a lot of problems with burglaries, with one of the cases having the burglars enter an occupied home. The more I hear, the more I'm convinced that Zimmerman was trying to do the right thing to protect himself and his neighbors. I think his intentions were good, he just put himself in a situation that went horribly wrong.

And Zimmerman is part black, therebye complicating Sharpton, Jackson and the President in persisting with the race angle as well.

Overall, sounds like a decent neighbor. Was he ever caught with a bunch of stolen jewelry??? Then I would choose no.
Whoa... I didn't know Zimmerman was racist. But then I don't watch NBC news production of fraudulently edited tapes. Guess I'll just stay.... mmmm, you know.... ignorant of the facts.
Sorry, I don't watch NBC. I heard the full 911 tape, and it's clear that Zimmerman worked himself into a fit because he saw some guy walking down the street. The article points to an obvious racist motive for him doing so.

No, it doesn't. So when the WH and DHS tells people that if they see something or someone suspicious that they should report it, they are telling people to be racist profilers?

...I have no idea what the White House or DHS have to do with some idiot chasing after a random black guy walking down the street.

Neighborhood watch is always "trying to do the right thing." Hell, that's a no brainer. No one disputes that. It's the stuff that happens later that's the problem.
All i know is that an innocent kid is dead regardless of what Zimmerman was trying to do. And that kid SHOULDN'T be dead. Now that he is dead, we've got a big ass problem, and somebody has to pay.
I see you couldn't answer the question because it backed you into a corner. The question was valid, profiling is profiling.
Again, you aren't making any sense. When did the White House or DHS say that we should chase people around because of their skin color? I seem to recall both Bush and Obama cautioning against that sort of foolish profiling.
