The bigotry just runs so very deep.

This case really isn't that complicated, but the racist Trayvon supporters are ignoring all of the facts in this case to make it look like he was murdered for no reason. It's intellectual dishonesty. I agree with this guy on the subject:

Are you serious??? That dude in that video is a dumbass.

We're suppose to give Zimmerman a pat on the back because despite killing an innocent kid; he tried to protect his neighborhood?? What kind of half-assed backwards logic is that????

What if that was your kid gunned down?? Would you be feeling this same way??? Seriously, people are so screwed.

No. Apparently it wasn't required nor could he be forced to submit to one (the way it's been explained to me).

Personally, I think that's deplorable and something that should be changed. Do a tox test on the victim but not the other person involved? WTF?

In my opinion, any time there is a violent altercation between two or more people that ends in serious bodily injury or death, a tox test on everyone involved should be required.

I've always suspected that the reason Zimmerman refused medical attention that night was because of what he may have had in his system: not just legally prescribed medication but possibly alcohol as well.

Extremely poor answer. Mr. Goode didn't KNOW that Zim had a gun.

Engage brain before hitting "Reply".

Hard to believe someone would not think teaching the importance of Education and the evil of involvement in drugs would not be appropriate to teach your child.

It is common sense.

I told that to all three of my children growing up time and again. All three honor student athletes that graduated with honors. Not bad considering their grandparents were picking fruit and veggies just one generation ago.

Blatantly racist as well.

So much for City Data's TOS and the rule that racism will not be tolerated.

I'm hoping there's some way around that, a loop hole of some kind.

Another common sense question. Why in the world didn't Travon walk on the sidewalk, instead of walking close to the houses?
