    The problem with these events is that when they reach a certain velocity, the facts become irrelevant.

    This killing got attention because it was a story of a white man hunting down and murdering an unarmed black boy, aggravated by the fact that the police didn't lay any charges.

    Now we know Zimmerman isn't really "white". And the news today tells us that a witness saw Zimmerman being beaten. Also, when the police interviewed Zimmerman he was bleeding, which supports the witness's account.

    But if indeed, any of this is true, will it matter?

    • he said "fucking coons" and followed the kid after being told by police not to. that matters.colin_s
    • yes, but if the witness's account is correct, then he was being viciously attacked and was defending himself.futuremongolian
    • He should have used his fists against some string bean teenager. The kid weighed 140. The guy weighed 225-250.DrBombay
    • lots more. Take him down in the street with your hands, tough guy.DrBombay
