It may be a hate crime, but it’s more likely nothing but a blowhard itching for a fight who had a gun. George Zimmerman is clearly not an innocent victim who resorted to self defense.

[sthguard]

So what’s the real story here? The racists don’t jump on the bandwagon unless there’s a cover-up in the works.

[biggredd1]

zimmerman had two head wounds and there may have been a struggle for the gun.

Zimmerman

[biggredd1]

a hate crime is when the holder DOJ investigates white on black but not black on white incidents.

[muir_redwoods]

I think this is, ultimately, a story about a trigger happy cop wannabe and a reasonably good kid who got within range. I don’t think it’s a hate crime so much as a jerk crime.

[yldstrk]

Well if that fat man was trying to kill me there would have been a struggle for the gun too. Zimmerman was a bully hiding behind his “authority” as “capitain”. He will be indicted and tried.

Neighborhood watch shooter is a hispanic (in spite of his whiteish name).

Should make the “hate crime” aspect interesting...

[petitfour]

I want to know how the shooter got the name Zimmerman.

I don't know what happened here, none of us really do but if people seem to act as though they have no compassion for the dead kid's family one need only look to the liberals for the cause. We've become so conditioned to liberals using any crime involving a gun as an argument against gun ownership. As soon as a shooting happens, everyone gets defensive instead of sympathetic.

As a black man that grew up in the ghetto I'm aware of the harassment from the police and as an adult that lives in the suburbs today! I'm not sure what to think about this one, but today in my suburbs I'm guilty until proven innocent!As I've said it here before, I was pulled over four times in eight weeks in my own neighborhood! Were they "protecting and serving"?

Does it suck? Yes, but what can I do except keep going to work and taking care of my homeschooling wife and four children.

I'll get right on giving a damn what those pimps think after hearing the report from The Congressional White Caucus

[sarasmom]

A lot of Floridians, of all colors and all political affiliations, also demand a closer look!

One need not be black to smell something that stinks of wrongdoing in this particular case.
An apparently innocent young man is dead at the hand of a self-appointed community vigilante,in public, and the killer was not even detained/arrested for an investigation!

WTF?

In related news, the Congressional Black Caucus issued the following statement about today's murder of Jewish children in France.

Politically, when Blacks go after Hispanics for “hate crimes”, it is good for Republicans.

George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain and criminal justice student in Sanford, Fla,. shot Trayvon Martin on February 26 as he was walking home

Jorge is a latino and the brothers will be hard pressed making this a hate crime because only whitey can be guilty of hate crimes.

I saw shiela jackson lee on TV today and the woman is truly evil and inner ugly.

The CBC is out for blood.

The Congressional Black Caucus wants the Justice Department to investigate the shooting death of a 17-year-old, unarmed black Florida high school student as a potential hate crime.

What difference would it make? The punk can't be convicted of a hate crime now that he's dead.

[KosmicKitty]

How about an investigation into why a parent would think Trayvon was a suitable name for a child.

Poor kid was marked from birth.

CBC wants Trayvon Martin's death investigated as potential hate crime

CBC?

First response: Why is the Center for Disease Control getting involved?

Second response: Why don't those Canadians just mind their own business?

Third response: There are Blacks in Congress?

[who knows what evil?]

Ooooo...it’s the Communist Black Caucus...time to shake in my boots.
