Zimmerman did nothing illegal. By yours and everyone else's logic, should you blame a rape victim for showing up to the party with a shirt skirt on looking sexy? Should she have worn blue jeans instead?
Good link to the awesome video http://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi...bout_trayvon_martin_and_george_zimmerman.html
He did nothing illegal, but he did something stupid. He didn't know what this suspicious person had on him. He put himself in a dangerous situation.
People do stupid stuff all the time. Zimmerman was doing right in his mind. Too bad doing stupid schit isn't illegal. Going to get 2/3s of your lean mixture is stupid. So was the rape victim "stupid" to show up to the party with her short skirt on?
It's not the same situation and you know this. He saw someone who he thought was suspicious and who he thought was "on drugs". Why would you try to confront that person if you knew the police were on the way? It is stupid.
When seconds count, the police are minutes away. There's nothing wrong with not wanting to lose sight of him. He was a criminal. He was on drugs. Why is this still being discussed?
There is no evidence that Zimmerman was trying to "confront" anybody. His claim and his behavior (in giving up "the chase" so quickly) is that he was trying to lay eyes-on the suspect. When unable to do that, he returned to his truck to await the arrival of the police. The police and the jury who both have reviewed every bit of evidence have both agreed to this is reasonably what happened.

"Oh by the way, I never heard of 'white Hispanic' before but I guess this fits the bill in this case. This incident only needed someone to light the fuse. Why is this true because black people are involved?"
Waiting on someone to say "Zimmerman should have stayed in his car." Remember when all the white people started rioting when OJ got off? Oh wait....
Repost: Not necessarily. They just found that it was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it was not self defense. People really need to stop reading anything more into the verdict.
how is he a criminal? because he had pot in his system? 2/3rds of his his "lean mixture", huh? no, that's not a right leaning fabrication at all. no racism here whatsoever folks, don't even DARE bring it up...
Remember when all the white people had history of being screwed over by the criminal justice system? Oh wait... http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324432004578304463789858002.html
It's not necessarily racist, just ignorant and biased thinking. I have him on ignore but unfortunately when somebody responds I still see the ignorance.
There is zero evidence both ways. We don't know if he did or didn't try to confront. That's all we know. Why is that so hard to comprehend for people on both sides of this argument?
The media and the protesters behavior brings to mind Lord Kitchener's (Famous Calypso player) quote, "If you're not White you're Black." The media in this country is seriously infected with a disease and it's so unfortunate that the people eat it up like manna from heaven.
All that is true. Doing something stupid or dangerous does not warrant jail time if it isn't illegal.
Your right, but these days it's all about labeling someone a racist because its a label easy to apply and almost impossible to remove. It may be ignorant and biased, but that's what our society has become. The ignorant, biased extremists are always fewer in numbers, but louder in voice. Too few Americans seem to have the capacity to see past the BS and engage in more than name-calling.
George Zimmerman briefly emerged from hiding last week to pull someone out of an overturned truck on a Florida highway, ABC News reports. Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/george-zimmerman-rescues-somebody-from-truck-2013-7#ixzz2ZnPQtD2u
