No doubt race played a role in Martin’s death. Zimmerman likely would not have called the police about a white teenager — even a white teenager wearing a hoodie — walking back from a 7-Eleven.

The sine qua non of this case is the fact that Trayvon Martin tried to bash in George Zimmerman's head for more than 45 seconds after George Zimmerman indicated clearly and unambiguously that he wanted Trayvon Martin to stop. The 911 tape clearly indicates that someone was screaming for at least that much time, eyewitness accounts indicate that someone was trying to bash in someone else's head, and George Zimmerman is the only person's head to have taken any damage. If a white person would have been just as likely as a black person to have tried to bash in George Zimmerman's head in the way Trayvon Martin did, then a white person would have been just as likely to get shot.

First time I’ve heard that thought. VERY GOOD!
