We should just blame it all on race so we can have a political agenda along with the media sensationalization (is that a word?), inciting anger in black people and widening the racial gap.
Leave some facts out too so we can further the cause.

I'm going to start a fight with someone, then shoot them when I lose control of the situation. < This is what happened

What I more meant to say is we are ultimately arguing whether there was ANY justification in the taking of a life, regardless of the personal character of either party.

Another loudmouth pulling punches got shot in the hood.
here's what to be concerned with.
1. The rules of fight club. (because fights need to be fair?)
2. Hating people is okay, as long as it's not racist.
3. Baby photos (Mom, just blew your gangsta cover...)
4. Skittles and Arizona Ice Tea. (This is a new creative low for corporate advertising)
5. Is Hispanic the new White?

so far, the moral of the story; kill or be killed, speak softly & carry a gun.

Just a trial is all that is needed here , and a good look at self defense laws , not black vs white which is what everyone wants to see right away and that is where the issue escaltes . Cause Im this color I will feel like this , or that. Just be fucking human and let the justice system take a good look is all people want .

Just heard the audio, Zimmerman's voice sounds very high, almost feminine, screaming sounds like him. We need to hear Trayvon's voice to compare.

The big thing is that minute or whatever it was that nobody knows what happened. Yeah, Martin could have been kicking that guy's ass as his own form of self defense, you know? Zimmerman could have been the instigator and snapped.

These stories that are coming out - do you think they're relevant, or not relevant? Personally, I think painting a picture of a person's character is really difficult in situations like this. Does anything in his past warrant him being murdered? Absolutely not. Does being caught with burglary tools, or a graffiti marker directly connect to what happened the night he was killed? No, of course not. But does the collective amount of things he may have gotten in trouble for help cast doubt in people's minds that he had no potential for doing something wrong the night he was killed? Yeah, probably.
One side wants to point the finger at Zimmerman for being a racist murdering vigilante way outside the limits of the law. The other side wants to find any shred of evidence that proves Martin was out breaking into houses and committing a crime serious enough to warrant Zimmerman's actions. A person is still dead, and there will be a serious division between what people believe happened, and what warranted his death in Zimmerman's mind as he shot him in self defense.

A portrait of George Zimmerman paints the picture of a man obsessed with law enforcement, the very career that eluded him.
http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/…
..."And another label has also stuck in the public’s perception: frustrated cop wannabe.
Over the years, his scores of calls to police showed he pursued shoplifters and errant drivers with zeal, reporting pit bulls, potholes, children playing in the street, open garage doors and “suspicious” youths — usually black males — loitering in the street.
He peppered his calls with jargon familiar to police. In one case, he chased a reckless driver while calling 911 — the driver later told police he was terrified that Zimmerman was going to attack him. In another case, Zimmerman tailed a supermarket shoplifter until a police officer successfully arrested the thief.
Dr. Laurence Miller, a Palm Beach County clinical psychologist who works with local police agencies, said he believes Zimmerman likely was acting out the “whole TV cop role in his head” when he confronted Trayvon.
“A lot of people like the power and control that law enforcement officers have but with that comes a tremendous amount of responsibility,” Miller said, pointing out that a police officer is the only profession that can use “coercive physical force” or lethal force to subdue a suspected criminal.
“People act like cowboys and like the power, but not the responsibility.”"

@TBO - QBN isn't racist, but provides for almost free speech (talk about competitors and Bertt Brash aside). It's this freedom of speech that racist types love, because they can propagate their ill conceived ideologies.
freedom of speech also allows non-bigots to spread their own propaganda about the differences between individuals based on personalities, ideologies and deeds rather than some genetic trait they had no control over.
