    wrong on both

    its a story because the shooter was told to take his pistol and go on home and have a lovely evening

    opposed to being put in prison

    How do you know it was injustice and how do you know there would not have been justice if it was not so publicized? You think every time a black person is killed, it must be injustice?

    no, I think every time anyone is killed and the police have the shooter right after, a very thorough investigation is simply expected....before you hand him pistol and say see ya later

    Ok so you don't know all the facts. Keep your opinions to yourself. We don't want to hear anymore prejudice coming from people like you.

    Listen, if the guy murdered the kid, he should goto jail.

    If the kid attacked the guy, than he protected himself.

    Wrong.

    It's just like Joe Horn, who was also told to stay inside.

    He wasn't black, and he was acting within the law. The result was dead black people.

    That's why it's a story.

    I agree on this. Sometimes police wait until enough witnesses come forward to make an arrest...especially in cases of homicide or murder. Well, in rare cases...usually they're arrest happy.

    Let's say they do arrest Zimmerman. Let's say all the facts come out and Zimmerman is acquitted.


    Will we see riots the likes of which this country has never seen?

    if you were being stalked by an armed assailant would you assume hes a friendly guy looking to give you a hug or what?

    So now he knew he was armed?

    How about this. Lets take Zimmerman, get a noose, and just drop him off the closes tree we can find. Is that what will make you happy?

    Or how about we take him and torture him?

    what do you want to do to him? what will make you happy?

    It won't be anyone's fault.

    However, if you are a white guy on top of being a mellow guy, many black people will say it's somehow your fault.

    I dont think zimmerman is racist in the sense that he sought out to kill a black teen....or that he hates all blacks.....

    id like to see him investigated for what happened, and at minimum I would GUESS based on the evidence he has to be charged with manslaughter....but probably more

    Yes, investigate and not assume guilt.

    Zimmerman must be arrested and tried for killing the teen. Let our legal system determine his fate.

    Nah. This was a black teen so we should just take the nice man with a gun's word because obviously walking in the rain with your hood up talking to your girlfriend is a crime when its a black kid. Just scrape the kid off the lawn and give the nice man his gun back.
