    so what?

    it doesn't give you the right to kill people.

    Americans have a murder rate about 15 times as high as the murder rate in my country.

    does that mean if I see an american in my country that I have the right to stalk them, and then kill them if they try to confront me about my behaviour?

    nobody said rush, but they failed to collect key evidence that was only available that night

    no drug or booze test.....they didnt even take his weapon....

    what if that wasnt the gun that was used? were they going to hope he stuck around town while they found out? what if he knew this kid and it was all bs? they had no way to know important details required to simply hand him his pistol back and send him home!

    We do not know squat about who started the FIGHT.

    I can see a parking lot in one shot of the area, just around I guess, the front? Not really that far.

    So have you seen the video on CNN or any other news?

    Here are the facts.

    The weapon was fired in self defense.

    There is an eyewitness who saw the entire event as it unfolded.

    Trayvon Martin was punching Neighborhood Watchman when he was shot.flv - YouTube.flv

    this wouldn't have happened in England, even the police don't carry guns but sticks.

    only in america the neighborhood watchmen are armed and have the right to kill if someone punches them.

    What type of Americans?

    remember, America is the most diverse country on earth. Black Americans are 8 times more likely to commit murder than white americans, so maybe you can understand the suspicion.

    the black crime rate coupled with the FL law is not a license to hunt down and shoot blacks

    are you sure the US is the most diverse country on earth?


    any. it doesn't matter. most of the mass shootings we read about are perpetrated by whites, so white americans as much as anyone else.

    I know this is hard for you to believe, but...cops do this all the time. Since I sort of lean on presumption of innocence it bothers me less when they do this than rush to judgment.

    We see black kids hauled in every day for being black. If the cops waited and didn't rush to judgement innocent people wouldn't go to jail routinely for lack of a good private attorney. I can't be against the theory of letting a guilty man go free to avoid an innocent man going to jail every other day of the week but change my mind when it suits me.

    That is me, however. I judge no one who wants to make a stand on this case. I just make comments, fence straddler that I am.

    You're not making any sense. If trayvon had the right to kill zimmerman because he felt threatened, doesn't zimmerman have the right to kill trayvon if he tries to do so?

    It's Florida law. If someone sees Zimmerman and feels threatened by him they have the right to shoot him.

    In America, school shootings happen because white schools don't have metal detectors.

    Black schools do, if they didn't, there'd be school shootings every week.

    If that's what this guy set out to do wouldn't he have done it by now?

    Instead, the media says he's helped put a few criminals away already, without violence.
