ZIMMERMAN IS HISPANIC, NOT WHITE. This isn't a "white vs. black" except in the minds of idiots who want to make play the race card to everything.
The kid was a punk and a thug, walking through a neighborhood that had been subject to burglaries. The watch captain (i..e Zimmerman) followed him (THIS IS NOT A CRIME) and the kid jumped him, so he reacted in self-defense. That's all there is to it. The media kept painting the picture of some sweet innocent kid (and from what I've read were even using old pictures of him, not the most recent ones) being harassed and shot by a racist non-black, when in fact it was a neighborhood watchman doing his job properly by being on the lookout for suspicious people in his neighborhood.
The problem here is that people got the wrong idea from the start, and immediately said "He's guilty" without any facts or evidence just the typical media bullshit painting it as a "white" guy following and shooting a black "kid".
No. The reason people got upset was that the police did not arrest or investigate Zimmerman for 44 days. That is simply inconceivable were the facts the other way around as indeed the Trevor Dooley case showed.
Hispanic and White are not mutually exclusive categories. Hispanics can be and are of different races. It's interesting that you call Martin a punk and thug. Care to elaborate on his criminal record that makes you write such things?
He was not walking though "a neighborhood". He was walking through
his neighborhood, which he had every right to do. The jury believed that Martin jumped Zimmerman which of course is awfully convenient for Zimmerman, there being no other witness since Zimmerman had just killed him.
