All that and nobody has bothered to mention the most basic and important aspect of this case.

Marijuana possession. Definitely reason to get followed and shot walking back to your girlfriends place. Is this a different discussion if it is an adult black guy who follows an unarmed kid and shoots him? What if Trayvon pulled a weapon and defended himself with it?

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.

I dont think anyone is saying he deserved it. I think people are putting out facts that may or may not have relevance. The media and news reports have been pretty one sided. Originally I thought this was a little boy that was killed based on the pics and reaction. Now it seems were dealing with more that originally thought. Let the investigation happen and lets review the evidence.

Zimmy, you have a bright future as an interpreter of sorts. Every statement I make you have an uncanny ability to interpret to your liking. A Kreskin-like gift you either developed or were born with,kudos.

Apparently in a 3 day period in the same week this kid was killed in Florida , in Obama's home city of Chicago there were 23 murders.
Don't think Obama made a comment on one of them nor did Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton.
I'll bet $ all 23 in Chicago were black on black murders !

Which is what?

Tragicially, a kid got killed. That's something that needs to be investigated, and lo and behold, the state (and the feds) are investigating. As far as I can tell, the system is working perfectly.

Now, professional agitators, and other liberal media types who view everything through the prism of black versus white, are painting this as a white lynching. Is Zimmerman even white?

Earth to race-baiters...it's not always about race.

best ever - Zimmerman was reported by the media as a "white hispanic" Absolutely brilliant!
That would make president O a white african american. Nope, no media bias here!

how is that politics? Very few of the basic elements have been released, mostly speculation and opinion. The most important and basic aspect of the case is EVIDENCE. Very little has been released.

The cops that arrived at the scene must have been able to tell if Zimmerman was injured. If Trayvon was involved in any physical conflict, he would have bruises on his hands if he hit Zimm. Whats the autopsy say? DNA? Scene of altercatin?There should be some good evidence any way you look at it but the evidence has not been released.
