There is no denying that George shouldn’t have got out of that truck and followed the kid .... if he had stayed in that truck and waited for the police .... like he was trained to do .... none of this would have happened!

Ah there you go --- same song same verse a little bit louder a little bit worse. But you forget the other verses of that "If Only" song:

If only Trayvon Martin had stayed in school,

If only Trayvon Martin had not punched the bus driver,

If only Martin had not painted graffiti on school lockers,

If only Martin had not brought marijuana to school,

If only his father had not been a CRIP,

If only his mother had been more of a mother to him,

If only his father had not left Alicia and started up with Brandi,

If only he had not been left alone in Sanford that weekend,

If only he had not gone to 7-Eleven,

If only he had gone straight home instead of casing other domiciles,

If only he had not put up his hoodie and run when he saw the white guy on the phone with the police,

If only he had not been acting suspicious,

If only he had not come back to confront the white guy,

If only he had not punched the white guy,

If only he had stopped punching the white guy who was crying out for help,

If only he had left the white guy there bloody and bruised and run instead of trying to finish the job,

If only .....

You see, BB, there are a whole lot of more verses to that "If Only" song that you be singin'.

Now try to concentrate and answer the question, if you can without injecting snide remarks, which was about George Zimmerman.

I truly don’t get the hero worship .... what exactly has George Zimmerman done that is to be so proud of?

Why is George Zimmerman so special that he should be treated different than anyone else that has been charged with a heinous crime? It’s not like he has been charged and falsely convicted and needing help to raise funds for an appeal .... hasn’t even been to court to prove his innocence at all yet.

I know that the standard is “innocent until proven guilty” and I believe in that standard .... the difference is that when you are claiming a “self-defense” defense .... well then it DOES become your job to PROVE that you killed someone and it was legally defensible .... he hasn’t done that yet.

I am really trying to understand what is it about HIM.... I mean George Zimmerman specifically .... what is it about HIM .... that creates in the supporters the kind of almost hero worship I keep seeing here.

Should I surmise from your "if only" rant, that is full of speculation, that it is solely a black vs. white/hispanic issue for you? Are you a racist?
