The Zimmerman Trial was a textbook example of how white folks think being labeled as racist is actually much worse than people DYING from racism.

Any system that would allow George Zimmerman to legally carry a concealed weapon, legally hunt down a teenager he felt was suspicious, legally confront that teenager against the instruction of authorities, and then legally use deadly force in the resulting altercation — I mean, come on — any system that would legally allow all of that is fucking broken.

So you're saying I can't insult Hitler? Or any murderer or rapist that has died? Anyways, I am correct. That kid wasn't smart at all. Dumb kid. It is relevant to the case because a reasonable person with a higher intellect wouldn't have reacted as he did.
You insulted Trayvon Martin who is not a rapist or murder. Insulting murdered children is not a kind thing to do. You cannot compare Martin to Hitler.
Many people would have reacted the way he did when being stalked and threatened.
I didn't send you any anon messages. Martin was not a smart individual. At all.
How can you say that? Not only did you not know him but it is incredibly cruel to insult a child, especially a murdered child.
The gun was hidden the entire time. Zimmerman had good reason to follow Martin considering what had been going on in his neighborhood. This kid was obviously not brightest kid and his first instinct is to fight someone when being followed. For most reasonable people they'd ask what was wrong, why are you following me. Not saying "you have a fucking problem?" And then additionally saying "well now you have a fucking problem" and then start punching the other person.
You don’t know what it is like to be Black then, or any minority for that matter. I would be terrified if a man got out his car and followed me. I would attack. Martin had more reason to “stand his ground" than Zimmerman had.
Did you really just call Trayvon Martin “not bright"?
If Zimmerman had shot a deer without a hunting license he would have received more punishment.
That child had every right to be where he was. That child had every right to do what he was doing, walking home. That child had every right to be afraid of a strange man following him, first in his car and then on foot. And did that child not have the right to defend himself from that strange man?
when
you shot him through his heart. you shot a
whole people
through the heart.
blood for blood.
heart for heart.
you are alive,
but
your life is no longer yours.

The Sanford police appear to be more afraid of rioting than they are of a murderer going free.
