Either way, how can people not be struck by the contrast here....
A hispanic guy shoots a young black guy that jumps him after the hispanic guy follows him. He co-operates with the police, and is not charged. His story never changes nor does new evidence emerge. 2 weeks later the national media starts to go nuts, celebrities, and politicians start championing the cause, and 6 weeks later he is charged and indicted with a blaze of national attention. He is vilified as a racist, even though there is no evidence of it, and in fact where he lives is racially mixed and he has worked with youths of all races in the past.
A black guy shoots a mentally retarded hispanic guy that tries to attack his car after the black guy almost runs into him by accident. He co-operates with with police and is not charged. The pipe that his assailant was supposed to have is never found. 3 months later he is still not charged. There is no national media, no celebrities, no politicians, and no blaze of attention.
Again, I don't care what your stand is regarding the Zimmerman case. What are your thoughts regarding this contrast?
