Face the facts, even the family of the attacker admitted that this had nothing to do with race.

He, as a professional, judged that by how he responded to questioning.

It wasn't racist!

It was creepist!

While GZ is an idiot, he was smart enough not to say "I saw a Black kid so I followed him and shot him when he brandished his threatening bag of Skittles"

Profiling isn't simply about race, it can be based on other factors. I've been tailed in major clothing chains
because I had on jeans and a top. In contrast, on the days that I was dressed for work (in either profession), salesclerks were most anxious to help.

Based on what? It isn't like GZ attacked TM first or shot him in cold blood.
  • GZ claimed that TM attacked him first.
  • TM didn't have a scratch on him.
  • The state's witnesses are supporting GZ account of events.
  • 2 detectives testified that, in their opinion, GZ was being truthful.
  • GZ passed a polygraph.

How hard is it to create a situation where you fear for your life?

It's a rush, man!

The detectives said "consistent".
Polygraph test are inadmissable for good reason...you can beat them

GM is guilty as sin of the crime of stupid and irresponsible and there is no one here that can deny that if he did not stick his fat nose where it did not belong and stayed within the confines of his vehicle, this case would not exist...I repeat no one.

1) Of course GZ claimed that TM attacked him first, a dead kid can't make the opposite claim

2) Trayvon Martin only had a huge gaping hole in his chest while GZ had a few scratches that only required band-aids

3) The state's witnesses (so far) have supported some of GZ's claims...not all

4) 2 detectives testified that GZ was consistent about some events

5) Polygraphs are not admissible in court for a reason
