Zimmerman would not have gotten the same reaction if he followed a petite white women in his truck on a dark rainy night....but all bets are off when you're a black teen.
These kind of topics just further demonstrate the lengths America will go to to deny a young, black man could be a victim. Some of the main arguments are essentially that since Trayvon Martin had a troubled history, his killing was justified. It says nothing of the fact that Zimmerman pursued and killed an unarmed teenager for no reason other than he looked kinda suspicious to him.
The only people who think he did the morally correct thing that night are internet users who never go outside. Imagine being followed at home at night, in the rain by some wanna be cop douchebag in his truck.
The character of a dead man is irrelevant, because we're not here to examine the victim since he didn't pull the trigger.
Look at their histories, Zimmerman has a lengthy criminal history, Martin does not. look at their behavior, Zimmerman is pissed and stalks Martin even after being told not to by 911, Martin runs away from him and is scared. it takes a serious leap in logic to come to the conclusion that martin was the aggressor.
Not only that, Zimmerman has had a ton of run-in's wit the law. He's been arrested for beating his ex-fiancée, punching a police officer, brandishing a gun at and beating his ex-wife and her father, and pointing a shotgun at, and beating, ANOTHER girlfriend.
The man even tried to sell and make profit off the gun he used that night. Trying to make a profit off the gun that killed a boy who just wanted to go home is inherently insane, even if you think that Zimmerman was assaulted and had a right to defend himself.
Hate to break it to you guy but the way you see it is racist. You are quite literally judging people based on the color of their skin.... you get that right? Your way is no different than Richard Spencer's way.

You're a crazed racist.
There is absolutely no chance it happened that way.
Trayvon attacked the part-black Zimmerman, and Zimmerman defended himself.
He was following him like a lunatic. Making sure he didn't 'get away'. Trayvon hadn't done anything but be black.
He was a burglar who beat the ***t out of snitches and commented afterward that they didn't bleed enough. He was a thug, and that night he APPEARED to be casing houses for purposes of burglary. Is that what being black means to you? If so, then you're right -- he was just being black.
You're either completely ignorant of what happened that night or an unrepentant racist.
