I'm reading all the posts that Richard and others are making bringing up race over and over and insinuating that anyone who disagrees might be a racist too.
I think that is a big problem in this world today. Are there racists out there? Hell yes. Black, white, Asian, Latin...lots of them.
Did George Zimmerman follow Trayvon Martin because he was black? I don't know. Maybe it was because he was the neighborhood watch guy, there had been robberies, and Trayvon was walking up in people's yards.
Young black guy with a hoodie on in that circumstance...yeah that does look suspicious. And it would have been just as suspicious if it had been a young white guy with tattoos and a shaved head. Or even a young Mexican guy (Latin gangs are getting really bad across the country)
I don't know what was in Zimmerman's mind. Neither do ANY of you.
And I would bet that if Richard's neighborhood had been burglarized repeatedly and he saw a young black guy walking up in people's yards at night in his neighborhood then he too would be suspicious. And if he saw a young white guy walking up in people's yards wearing a hoodie under those circumstances the same would hold true.
The race doesn't really matter.
There were burglaries. People get nervous and scared. Zimmerman shouldn't have tried to take it into his own hands...but that's what people do when they are frustrated and angry.
Trayvon shouldn't have decided to kick that "cracker" ass (even though Trayvon was so racist that he didn't even see that Zimmerman is NOT a "cracker"...he's Latin)
If you jump on somebody and start a fight...you MAY get your ass shot. It happens all the time, everyday. I've seen it happen many times in my life in the parking lot of bars.
A fight breaks out, a gun gets pulled, people get shot. No mystery there to me.
I don't think Zimmerman shot him because he was black. I believe Zimmerman would have shot me too if I started beating his ass.
Life experience teaches you things, and I've had a gun or two stuck in my face when I was a young man and luckily never got shot and I learned life lessons. Trayvon was one of the unlucky ones who decided to fight the wrong guy at the wrong time.
The whole thing is a nightmare.
And as I said earlier, the prosecution doesn't seem to have met the burden of "beyond a reasonable doubt".
But I'm not sure what the jury will do.
Al Sharpton and other black "leaders" (how has that been working out for the last 50 years?) will start riots if Zimmerman is freed.
So maybe the jury will join in and be intimidated by that thought and put him in jail.
If they find him not guilty...I feel sorry for everybody in Sanford and Orlando.
And the odd thing is: A Mexican shoots an African American...and it's white people's fault.
