Nice try but 100's of blacks are mourning the loss of their children and because one was killed by a hispanic guy, that is more important than the other lives, because they didn't know them? Also you can't blame whitey if it is black on black crime.
Focusing on Zimmerman, takes the eyes off the real problem.
What real problem is that, spanky? That most people know their murderers. Black on black crime is about as common as white on white crime. Most murder victims are killed by their own race, usually people they know. Which is why no one is up in arms about it.
This case, a WHITE (not Hispanic) guy killed a black child, and the family of that black child didn't get justice.
That's what people are upset about. And they should be.
Belaboring Martin's so-called "child" status is getting you nowhere.
Martin was a near-adult 17 year old teenager who was under high school disciplinary suspension for the third time, at the time of his death.
Had Martin killed somebody, he was old enough to have been tried as an adult.
As... an... adult.
You've overplayed the "child" thing once too often.
Martin was a near-adult 17-year-old teen who was in the process of beating Zimmerman's head into the concrete sidewalk at the time Zimmerman fired at Martin.
The parents of that teenager who initiated deadly force during the course of that altercation got all the justice that their son's behavior made possible.
It is failure to comprehend these facts, and to assign them their proper weight, and a continuing resort to emotionalism, that is at the root of the Epic Fail and Extreme Angst which pro-Martin folk are flagellating themselves with.
I say 'themselves' because the rest of the world is already moving-on beyond this flyspeck-blown-out-of-proportion case.
The Martin kid made the mistake of being the first to introduce deadly force into the confrontation.
That mistake cost him his life.
But the world continues to turn on its axis, regardless.
You are talking to a wall. A lefty wall.
