Nice responses SCK.
If someone doesn't get it, there's a reason, either they have been brainwashed by "news" accounts, or they don't want to get it for a reason, because they can't imagine themselves or their children in Trayvon's situation because of race. Because Trayvon is a young black male, he "has" to be somehow guilty. The people most at fault here are the Sanford police department, who allowed a mad man to escalate, did nothing when he called them over 50 times, and later, who saw a dead teenager, and a man with a gun, and failed to make an arrest.
The event simply likely wouldn't have even occurred, what black teenage girls and boys, in this way go thru are very different. Also if Zimmerman, had stalked, and killed a young teenage girl of any color, he'd been arrested that night, no doubt.
Zimmerman was ALSO NOT a member of any organized neighborhood watch. It was just him, running around his neighborhood, apparently with a gun. A man who had called the police department 50 times, been charged with domestic violence, and has assaulted a police officer, felt he had the right to act as pseudo law enforcement.
Fox News and other MSM will start spinning this story, because the public can't deal with the fact that someone stalked, ran after, and killed a young man for only one reason his RACE. Thats why its a racial incident. It doesn't matter if Zimmermann is suddenly half white and half latino. He was racially motivated to kill. For all believing in that b.s. I would love for them to switch Treyvon and Zimmerman. With Zimmerman dead, and see how much they'd try to understand a young black man holding a gun, and claiming self defense and the "Stand your Ground" law.
I'll try not to talk about this incident much longer, or watching any coverage until Zimmerman is arrested, and charged. Doing so, panders to this idea that spinning a situation changes it. It doesn't, and anyone who isn't clouded by political correctness, racism, and media spin, can see this one.
Also back to Trayvon. I don't know the answer. I do know that people like Zimmerman, who appear to be deranged, keep calling the police, and inciting incidents should be charged as public nuisances earlier on. Vigilantism leads nowhere. People need to understand that they have NO right to harass, or "police" others, based on race, age, religion, etc. If there is a problem, call the police and let them deal with it. Stalking and killing someone is simply murder.
