Ok - we want race to be taken out of the Trayvon/Zimmerman case (and rightly so) and make a decision of innocence or guilt to be based only on the facts (again, rightly so).
Take race out of this story - a man confronts an unarmed 13 year old kid (I am assuming unarmed as he made no defense with a weapon) and accuses him of theft.
The 13 yr. old says he didn’t do it, the man pulls a gun and shoots the 13 yr. old at point blank range in the chest, then fires again as the boy is attempting to flee.
The boy made no attack at the man, he did not pull a weapon, and as far as we know according to witnesses, he made no threat to the man.
Whether or not this kid actually stole anything is irrelevant to the fact that this man shot an unarmed human being. The mans frustration because of multiple thefts may be relevent to the punishment of the crime, but, as it stands, if this story is accurate and true - this is plain, bald-faced, cold-blooded murder in the first degree.
People who bring up race in this case are the same ones who complain about Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton for doing the same thing. Allow the process to work.
