Man follows black teen who seems "suspicious" and kills him.

There was no reason of intent with the kid for him to shoot? The kid was running away from Zimmerman, not the other way around; and as for why he was wearing the hoody? It was raining.

If ever anyone is in this situation where someone is chasing you to attack you, dont run away from plain site, run towards someones porch or house... Also he had no reason to take his gun. Zimmerman had a bias against black people before he chased him, if you listen to the video he said, these guys are going to get away again" something along the lines like that, meaning he already had an opinon about the kid before he met him? That should have been enough for him to go to jail because its premeditated.

He's going to jail. I can feel it, its only a matter of time before the people start protesting...

Also, Zimmerman looked like a young man himself, Why was he chosen as neighbourhood watcher? They should put strict laws against that, maybe even not have neighbourhood watchers and leave the gun slinging to the police... And it took the police a long time to get there. If I were the parents I would sue the state and the police force for Negligence.

One word. Deplorable.

Good on the government for staying out of people's private business.

too soon symmetric ❌

It shouldnt really matter if this kid is black and normally it comes up as an issues of race but in this one case, from listening to the tapes the cop sounds racist. I just wish the parents would say, hey look you killed are son you should be in prision, nothing justifies the pursuit of this boy. He had no right for taking the law into his own hands, he had no reason because the kid wasn't near a house robbing, he was on the street, he wasn't running from a store.. he was on the street and it was raining thats why he was wearing a hoody...this case is so stupid I can't believe they havent arrested him yet? What are they waiting for?

Yea I was even thinking when I saw him on the news he looked latino. Well I guess latinos are more white than black (I'm assuming latinos have black dna, maybe I'm wrong).

Latinos.. sounds like a pruduct on the stock market. Anyways, latinos have native DNA and Spanish DNA. It's a mixed culture, not everyone is mixed, the slaves that were brought here mixed with the cultures already here so... so its a mix.

but, some are more white than brown.

I mean someone in their family tree a century ago was native american but he could also just be mostly italian or spanish white.

hell, some families are random when it come to the appearance of their kids. some look native, some look mix and others look white while all sharing the same dna but it expressing itself randomly.

not all Italians have black heritage just b/c one small region had an encounter with the moors centuries ago.

just saying

I dunno I thought my statement was a generalisation. I thought that would be common sense and I wouldn't need to state that. I think it depends on what part of southern europe you come from, I think if you're from Portugal or Spain there is more chance of you having black DNA then if you were from Italy.

So whats gonna happen to this guy then?

Is it me or does the President of America being black change nothing?

I'm going to say what I always say when these big cases jump into the public eye: We really don't have enough good information to come to any kind of conclusion.

There are so many biased filters between us and the facts that jumping to "racist man guns down kid for no reason" is exactly as reasonable as "obviously the kid attacked him when the cops weren't around and he fired in self defense" (which I've heard people suggest).

Everyone is going to have African ancestry if you trace things back far enough. The average Latino is almost certainly going to be as dilute in that regard as anyone else with Euro heritage. In the US cultural tensions might even make them more diluted than other Caucasian groups.

You don't say.

Like I said I'm not entirely sure about their origins but no I don't see a Spanish person being just as dilute as a Scandanvian especially somebody from Finland.

Edit: Reread your post...in that regard. Anyway not saying anything we don't know really.

Thats true. I have thought that.

i've read various sources and I think that it was not self defense even if the kid did attack him when the guy went to confront him.

I dont see how stand your ground law can support this guy and his self defense BS argument.
