What's the matter? You don't like threads where everyone's a racist or a pretentious asshole? Hehe

Seriously, I don't care if the guy who got shot was black. This person killed someone, I don't care how it happened. The fact that he bragged about it should've landed him a hell of a beating, not a mere punch in the face.


Now, please explain to me, what does it have to do with that other guy being black? I can imagine people disagreeing with me and claiming this guy shouldn't get a beating, because they're thinking about the bigger picture, so how does that make them racist exactly?

     It's beyond race at this point, he used legal loop holes to get away with taking a life. I never bought his story for moment, he thought he could be version of Batman going around and stopping crime. What good does concerned citizens do when they patrol with firearms? None at all, shooting a person trying to brake into your next door neighbor house is not smart, it's stupid to all hell, catching an abuse spouse in the act of beating their spouse with a tire iron and firing a warning shot is smart. What this man did to that young man and his family to fill his own ego. He should of been beaten, taken to the hospital, and beaten again when his wounds healed. Playing as Batman or a wanna be cop only gets you into trouble.

The entire issue was racially-charged.

For the record, I don't think very many Zimmerman supporters hold their opinion based on racism. I'm sure some do, but not the majority.

He followed Martin for no other reason than Martin was a black kid wearing a hoodie at nighttime, and Zimmerman saw that and thought Martin had to have been up to something.

I wasn't talking about the murder, but about the beating Zimmerman got over it.

I see. I wasn't aware that there was a black person present for that part.

I don't know that there was. But for some reason people who are saying he shouldn't have been punched are considered racists
