Trying to compare this movie theater shooting victim Chad Oulson whose wife was also shot in the hand, to Trayvon Martin, who jumped Zimmerman, is quite a stretch of logic.

The media and the race-baiters convinced a lot of people that it was an open-and-shut case against Zimmerman,

Actually I see many similarities. Here are a few.

Ex-cop / neighborhood watchman

Legal concealed carry

Older trigger-happy man shoots young, innocent man

A dark environment making it hard for witnesses to see all of what happened.

Both the victim and the shooter had a right to be where they were

Both victims were texting before the altercation

A single shot fired with a claim of self-defense

The victim was unarmed but used objects at hand as weapons

The shot was fired at point blank range

The victim dies immediately without making a statement

Defendant claims that he was attacked by the victim

It's in Florida and Stand Your Ground may be at issue

The media (at least CNN) omits completely that the victim attacked the shooter

The defendant attempted to involve authorities to address the initial situation

The shooter broke contact with the victim to involve authorities and contact was re-established leading to the shooting
