His brother said he volunteered and mentored African-American children. The victim was wearing a hoodie. Why are you calling him a racist conniver?

Oh for sure, they've gotten thousands of death threats already. Yes, I think it is possible people will try to kill him and perhaps his family -- 1st Degree Murder if they succeed.

So you make an asinine comment trying to compare the victims in bad neighborhoods to someone that was allowed to walk free after killing someone. And when you're pressed for an example, you pull a case from 20 years ago, where the guy was arrested for killing someone. Did I miss something?

I've done no such thing.

#3- It's dark and rainy ( which sometimes heightens the anxiety)

You don't find these actions suspicious?

#1 - Let's be honest here, Trayvon called GZ a creepy ass cracker. He profiled GZ and used a racial slur to describe him.

#2 - Trayvon should have gone home, he had plenty time to get home.

#3 - Weather had nothing to do with this, why would Trayvon walk down the street to buy candy if the weather was bad?

You are correct, I am mistaken, just a domestic battery charge or something like that.

However, Angela Corey was the prosecutor, and the jury took 12 minutes for a guilty verdict; did you actually read the case and not just from the media?

On the one hand you say there aren't any protests and on the other you say folks blame the police for inaction. Which is it?

Its when reporters are interviewing citizens after shootings and crimes are committed in predominately black neighborhoods. I see it all the time.

I bet you would like to buy another human being, but slavery has been against the law in America since 1865.

What Trayvon Martin did to George Zimmerman, according to the law, justified what George Zimmerman did to save his own life.

Note to self when out at night:

- do not walk slowly

- do not look around

- if someone is following me, run

- if I encounter them again despite running, even if they come up behind me, don't ask them "Why are you following me?" ---After all, what's it my business? -- they were just walking "in the same direction" as me

- if they choose not to tell me why they're following me or don't identify themselves, just take it, don't defend myself

- just keeping running.

After all, the people with guns rule the streets.

It is not legal on any planet to defend yourself from someone who is not attacking you. Following is not attacking. You cannot assume that because someone who is walking behind you, and you assume that they are following you, is going to attack you, so you must attack first..... You will go to jail every time.
