Some people consider this guy a bad person; however, most people consider him a hero.

I just don't get it. It seems to me like he used excessive force despite the notion that he took out a really bad person. I'm torn on this one. Being that I voted for Hillary, I'm obviously not racist, but in some ways, one could consider Zimmerman a hero.

Why do you call him a hero? What heroic act did he perform?

This grown man stalked a kid in his car, chased him into an unlit area, and then killed him.
He was only found not guilty because there were no witnesses as to who started the fight when they met in the dark - the kid being chased or the vigilante chasing him. All we know is that the pursued had the upper hand when he was shot.

No matter what version you prefer - Zimmerman was not heroic.

And wtf makes Trayon "a really bad person"? That phrase, in this situation, makes you come across as a racist Trump supporter.

Everybody is a hero these days. The girl scout selling cookies door-to-door, hero. The old woman loading groceries in her car, hero. The guy ringing me out at Burger King, hero. If Zimmerman is human and has a pulse, I'm going with hero on this one. And nice touch with the Whopper Dog in the poll.

No, he is not a hero.
(He's still not guilty in the Martin case.)

I wonder how many people who consider him a hero have looked at his records dating back to 2005? They aren't a secret.
