Yea, when you are in the city, those assholes who are walking home from 7-11 with Skittles and Arizona always get away with it, don't they.
Why do you continue to leave out the fact that Travon attacked and was punching George Zimmerman?
What we know is that Zimmerman started it by following around an innocent guy, and that he ended it by killing him. We don't know all of the details about what happened in-between. Who threw the first punch? How do you know? I'm inclined to blame the person who started it and who had a gun. You are inclined to blame the person who was black.
It’s relatively easy to agree that only Homo sapiens can speak about things that don’t really exist, and believe six impossible things before breakfast. You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.

Bingo.
But he's a "great American" as Sean Hannity would say.

That's right. And if black people want me to see them differently, they're going to have to show me something different than what they now show me. I see black people as equals. Therefore I expect the same moral standard as I expect from a white man. That doesn't just mean I think they deserve the same rights as I do, but I also believe they should have the same level of responsibility. That's the difference. I'm not going to see them differently because you brow beat me and shamed me into doing so. My views will be shaped by my life experience alone.
I've already been called to task on this thread for damaging the reputation of my own people. Apparently you all have no problem judging other people from WV because of me. Wouldn't that be called being prejudiced? You're no better than I am. You're just playing for a different team.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

So we represent the team for shootees who have not held up their equal end of responsibilites with the shooter? Bah! The game was rigged. Give both parties a gun and a sense of loose cannon vigilante justice next time. Then they could stalk one another equally.

George Zimmerman is reported to have weighed more than Trayvon Martin but Trayvon Martin was supposed to have been several inches taller and appears to have been athletic, so that particular argument has little to no currency.

No, he ignored the advice of a police dispatcher (which he should have followed).

Trayvon Martin lived in Miami-Dade County; "neighborhood kid" suggests he lived in Sanford (in Seminole County) and that George Zimmerman should have recognized him.

Yes. Not even Dog the Bounty Hunter carries a gun.
