Zimmerman may have been a little too zealous about his Neighborhood Watch duties. But....why did Trayvon (apparently) attack Zimmerman? Most people run from trouble, they don’t wade into it.
By using these words, Obama is definitely playing the race card and fanning the flames. Very irresponsible. And the name Zimmerman sounds vaguely Jewish. A two-fer.
And, by the way, where is he on Black on Black violence, which exacts a much higher cost in young lives? I guess that’s okay ‘cause there no “racism” involved. [/s]
Oh, you mean like the Mattapan Massacre where a jury just let the gunman walk, and was hung on convicting the driver? One of the victims was a two year old boy.
I don't think Zimmerman should go to jail, because we will never know the facts, and we must err on the side of innocence. But I also think Zimmerman created the situation by using poor judgment and instigation. He caused the unnecessary death of a 17-year old.
