Nobody is saying you have to be passionate about this case. Some things set people off, other things aren’t as important to them. However we are still passionate and talking because a man’s rights were violated, the DOJ is using race to keep harassing this man, and go after our right to defend ourselves. They are coming after guns and the Stand Your Ground laws.

Again, for the eightieth time: there is no such thing as a Latino or a Hispanic - there are people of a wide range of countries, races, ethnicities, cultures, classes and socio-economic groups from the Caribbean, Central America and South America, who have nothing whatsoever in common other than that they speak Spanish.
It’s as silly as lumping together under a group identity the English-speaking Pakistanis, Burmese, Kenyans, South African, Australians and Irish - as if a wealthy Pakistani doctor, a Burmese street vendor, a Kenyan farmer, a black South African cook, an Australian math teacher of Chinese descent, and an Irish pub owner in Galway could be expected to respond in unison to....anything.

These groups are no different than the NAACP-arms of the democrat party.
My grandparents came from Mexico decades ago. I am considered a white hispanic too by the liberals. I don't “look” like I should and have an “European” name. I am ashamed of those who do not stand with Zimmerman. If they want to separate themselves out in race groups, the least they could do is stand back and realize this could have happened to them. I think most just want to follow what appears to the group think.

Jeez, is anyone surprised by this? Zimmerman is NOT an hispanic name. He doesn’t fit the mold wrought by the la raza crowd.

” killed an unarmed black teenager”

This is journalism BS. Unarmed my foot. Any relatively in-shape teenager is a force when the fight is on and you are on bottom.

Had GZ not shot him he would be dead either by brain hemorrhage or by the gun he carried once he went unconscious.

The system worked.

Martin was trying to bash Zimmerman’s head in after he attacked him. Zimmerman had a gun and used ti to defend himself. A jury acquitted him.

But mobs of black AND WHITE idiots are demonstrating just how important it IS for law abiding folks to HAVE those guns!

Because they are leftists, something which one would think the GOP would note, but I think they do not care, because the GOP is also leftists.

I understand perfectly what is happening. However, for GZ’s sake, I would like this to die down. The race baiters and gun grabbers are keeping it in the news. Not to mention the ignorance of what actually happened by the low information Americans.

I feel bad for George -his life will never be normal as long as his name is dragged through the mud by the government, media and hustlers out there. That’s the reason I wish talk would die down.

Hispanic “groups” are probably silent on the Zimmerman acquittal for the same reason the black “groups” are vocal in support of amnesty for illegal aliens.

Most all the minority “groups” are putative allies on political issues and they will seldom break ranks on any given issue.

The National Council of La Raza waited two days to send out a press release – saying on Monday that it was “disappointed and saddened” that Zimmerman was found not guilty. NCLR president and CEO Janet Murguía called on the Department of Justice to weigh in more “forcefully” on the matter and said they wanted to seek justice for Trayvon Martin.

Pathetic. Terrified by the BGI.

La Raza non support is all race based

La Raza is an organization for Mestizos....mixed Spanish and Indian. Zimmermans are Hispanic....but also Mulatto...mixed Spanish and Black

Mestizos are very racist towards Blacks...including Hispanic Blacks. Talk with any Mestizo Cent American and you will learn quickly

Zimmerman, who is Latino and white,

Is Latino a race?

I must be visiting Alice in Wonderland.

“...The National Council of La Raza waited two days to send out a press release – saying on Monday that it was “disappointed and saddened” that Zimmerman was found not guilty. NCLR president and CEO Janet Murguía called on the Department of Justice to weigh in more “forcefully” on the matter and said they wanted to seek justice for Trayvon Martin...

And on another note, Union Leaders oppose ObamaCare.

The point is that so many groups were/are in lock step with the desires of the Democratic party that when reality jumps in, it is hard for them to realize that the Democrats are not their friends.

We will see if the low information voters determine that color blind justice is really in their best interest. This is opposite the entitlement mentality which says that things are owed to Democrats
