Problem is, the race pimpers want to make this ALL ABOUT RACE.
The RKBA folks want to make this ALL ABOUT SELF DEFENSE.
Both sides are wrong, it’s somewhere in the middle.
The fact that it blew up into a giant mess has everything to do with race. If Trayvon had been white or (perhaps) Hispanic, this would have been a two-day story in the Orlando area only. The RTKBA folks might have put it in their reports of “good shoots,” but nobody else would have cared.
The only way I can see this being a case that is “really” about race is if we can prove Zimmerman’s actions were affected by how he perceived Martin’s race. And I very much doubt we can do that. Because I don’t think they were.
