How many liberal and blacks race baiters applauded this case and not the Zimmerman case?
Actually who has even heard of this case? Since it was a black man shooting a white teen, the media ignored it. I bet Swallow heard of it? He ignores it, because he agrees with that case and not the Zimmerman case.
In fact Scott had less of a reason to shoot the unarmed white teen. In the Zimmerman case, Martin was viciously beating Zimmerman. Not the case in the Scott case, the unarmed white teen didn't touch him. Second, in the Scott case the gun was already drawn, not in the Zimmerman case.
Support what you want to support, but this case has extraordinary parallels to the Zimmerman case and I guarantee the same douche bags protesting against Zimmerman are the same people that backed the Zimmerman case!

Roderick Scott: The 'Black George Zimmerman' Acquitted of Murder in 2009
Roderick Scott, an African American man, shot and killed Christopher Cervini, a 17-year-old white youth, in 2009.
Scott faced a charge of first-degree manslaughter, and claimed he shot the teen in self defense.
Scott was subsequently acquitted.
All this happened in New York State, which, even back then, had much tougher gun and self defense laws than the state of Florida has.
Three Teens Breaking into Cars
During the early morning hours of April 4, 2009, 42-year-old Roderick Scott was asleep on the couch of his Greece, New York home, just outside of Rochester. He was awakened by some noise outside.
Scott looked out the window and saw three teens attempting to break into his car. He grabbed his gun, for which he had a legal permit, put it in his waistband and told his girlfriend to call 911 before going outside.
When Scott went out, he confronted the youths, who were going through a neighbor’s car. According to Scott, he told them to stop and wait for the police. The incident ended after Scott fired two shots at Christopher Cervini, killing him.
What Happened? Accounts Differ
According to 15-year-old James Cervini, one of the three, and Christopher’s cousin, Scott shot Christopher after the teen yelled, “Please don’t shoot me, I’m just a kid.” Scott, who testified in his own defense, said he only fired after Christopher came running at him in a threatening manner.
Scott’s attorney, James Parrinello, argued it was likely Christopher went at Scott to give James a chance to get away. James was already bound by two probation orders and the consequences of being charged with breaking into cars would have been more serious for him.
In fact Scott had less of a reason to shoot the unarmed white teen. In the Zimmerman case, Martin was viciously beating Zimmerman. Not the case in the Scott case, the unarmed white teen didn't touch him. Second, in the Scott case the gun was already drawn, not in the Zimmerman case.
