If it was your son, no matter your race, what would you do if Nothing was investigated. What would you do or how would you feel if your son laid in a morgue for 3 days, his/her cell phone wasn't used to possibly contact family but your son's body was tested for drugs and alcohol. However the person ACCUSED of killing your son/daughter wasn't tested for anything, was told not to follow your son/daughter but did anyway. Its as simple as this, if the issue was self defense, Why was Trayvon screaming for help and not Zimmerman. Come on all of us college graduates, Masters, and doctorate recipients, think about it. When you are pursuing someone or in the past CAUSED an altercation with someone, did you scream for help, I think not. If Trayvon was the aggressor, why would he scream for help. Racism still exists in the deep south and possibly everywhere. If you have never lived in the SOUTH or experienced or have been a witness to complete and utter racism, you have no idea what this family and all those protesting around the world are feeling. Im not screaming racism, I am simply screaming justice. THE JUSTICE SYSTEM NEEDS TO DO THERE FREAKING JOB not give someone a pat on the back for claiming self defense. Let us not forget that Zimmerman claimed he looked like he was u...

Let us not forget that Zimmerman claimed he looked like he was up to no good yet he was on his way to his relatives/family home in the same neighborhood in which Zimmerman was the neighborhood watch rep. It is simple Ignorance. Zimmerman could have asked Trayvon if he lived around there and been done with the situation. Instead he wanted to continue to follow Trayvon until something fatal happened. We need to come together to fix the stereotyping and ignorance that is within all of our hearts. To all of you giving Zimmerman the benefit of the doubt, did you give Mike Vick the same benefit of doubt for fighting freaking dogs. I guess a dog's life is more valuable than a teen human's life with aspirations of going to college and making something of himself. But Its okay, if the justice department doesn't move in the right direction, TRUST ME, someone down there in Sanford who is truly up to no good will definitely take matters into their own hands. Is this right? NO but its the truth. yall same ppl prolly hung Casey Anthony before she was tried for killing her daughter and she got off scott free but it pains you to simply give it some thought that self defense was definitely not the case in this situation. God Bless You all but I pray HE changes you alls hearts to understand the pain this family is feeling.

And I am disappointed in you. "if you don't like it just leave?" a very weak argument. I love this country enough to stay and fight to see that all people regardless of color can be secure from having their kids murdered by fake badge wanna be cops. Don't you love it that much?
It is long , not glamourous, and filled with heartbreak, but it is what we do. At least we have the courage to try, can you say the same?
make ALL the difference. Perhapa I cannot make a difference in the life of many or most, but perhaps I can at least try. That is the definition of moral courage, to try when it seems impossible. If you do not have enough courage to make the attempt at making a better nation, then you have little to say in regards to building a better future for this nation.
Looks pretty good for a man that was attacked and has a broken nose doesn't he?

Don't you see the problems here? Anybody can volunteer to be a part of a neighborhood watch. In order for police to do their jobs and carry a gun, they must first go through a serious of psychological tests.. their families must even go through background checks... LIE DETECTOR tests are mandatory for ever person entering the police force. NONE of this is required for someone that volunteers for a neighborhood watch. This is a dangerous law, because crazy people can suddenly start volunteering for neighborhood watches and walk away from murder....
It seems callous and insensitive to think of a thousand reasons that justify killing a child. Children play video games, and tie neck-ties wrong. They strip the gears in the straight shift you were going to teach them how to drive. They study for the S.A.T. And come home and tell you about how they just got dumped. Everybody here has been 17 before.
Jesus, listen to ourselves. This could be about race but more than anything a child was stalked and murdered by somebody the police told DO NOT FOLLOW. Who the hell talks to the police dispatch before they go kill somebody,..?!?!
So yeah. It is a sad commentary when somebody can throw flour on a person and go to jail. Somebody else can fire a bullet off in a teen-agers chest and NOT go to jail.
Even worst. There are people who aren't mad about this. I don't care if this kid was blue with a hint of red-ir...

Even worst. There are people who aren't mad about this. I don't care if this kid was blue with a hint of red-irish hair. This was somebody's child. We should be mad. Not as black people. Not as white people. Not even as Americans. Just beings part of the human race— be mad that somebody just killed a child and they're strolling around cool as a clam.
17 years old. there's a 17 year old in California that's developing a cure for cancer right now. Killing children robs the WORLD of potential.
Be mad folks. But be mad for the right reasons.
Zimmerman was by himself. In that case no arrest can be made until after an investigation. That's why they call it "due process."
Today I heard the Kim K is actually considering filing assault charges against the person who tossed flour at her. How stupid is that?
