Yes, it means "innocent kid walking around with nothing but a bag of Skittles in his pocket and running into a racist moron with a gun".


Are you aware that every cop killed in line of duty in my area of Tampa has been killed by a black male? There's a reason why people are afraid of black males. They commit most violent street crimes. Minorities, mostly black and Latino are ruining parts of Florida with their gang violence and "inner city" .

Overall, whites are more likely to be the victim of a black perp than a black person at the hands of a white perp.

That's what makes a story like this sell. It's so rare.



What really puts this story on the headlines across the nation isn't the fact that the killer was white and the victim was black. It's the fact that the police intentionally ignored plausible evidence indicating a murder had taken place. It is kind of mind boggling that they quickly bought into Zimmerman's implausible story of self-defense that is seemingly contradicted by uncontroverted facts. Had the police investigated the matter fully and arrested Zimmerman, this would not be reported daily by the national press.
