Now that mentality is what you are using to describe the veiled racial comments.

I don't know what you mean by this.

I found it interesting that a witness says the kid attacked Zimmerman, who had grass stains on the back of his shirt/jacket and a bloody nose. If that is all true, and the police responding made note of that, it appears they decided zimmerman was attacked.

But we don't know what Zimmerman may have done to start the confrontation. It's clear that Martin went into "beat down" mode, but did he jump Zimmerman from behind, unawares? Or did Zimmerman, after chasing him down, try to physically stop Martin?

You mentioned the term "hood rat" - that is what I meant by folks here using veiled racial terms. I was pointing out that those same folks can't just say it is wrong for a kid to be molested by a female teacher if she is "hot" but is wrong if she is ugly. They also say a criminal who is "hot" is not guilty of anything. That is the mentality of the folks who would make this situation in florida all about race and nothing else. But I don't think hood rat is any worse than saying white trash or trailer trash - it is a description of a thug in the hood.

And you are right - we don't know what else happened in that altercation. But I'm going to assume the police were satisfied that zimmerman was in the right on this, and that the witness felt the same way. I do agree that normally neighborhood watch folks are not armed and are just there as a deterrant, not as an armed guard. The whole situation is insane

Ooops. Trayvon may have attacked a bus driver per his own brother? Not quite the same innocent young man with tea and skittles innocently talking to his gf. Skittles no less. Skittles and anger issues?
