Your emotions are ahead of your ability to grasp the facts. I am far from privileged, maybe that is why I can empathize with a person who felt suspicious of someone they didn't recognize walking about in the rain in a community that had been experiencing break ins. Is it normal in your neighborhood to have unfamiliar people walking casually through the yards in the rain?

You know, I have came to the conclusion that most of the ignoramuses that are vilifying Zimmerman are the racist ones. I believe they heard "gated community" "Travon" "unarmed" "Zimmerman" and assumed it was a white guy in a privileged white gated community that gunned down an innocent black teenager that merely walking while black to his dads. Seems to me that most of the Zimmerman haters have never entertained the thought that perhaps black folk also live in gated communities, and a black youth walking about in and of itself is not unusual at all. But you hear the word gated and you hear white privilege. Again I feel sorry for you.

You have yet to produce one fact. Your arguments are based on conjecture and nothing more.

If I heard correctly the eye witness who will confirm Zimmerman's story is... gasp..... Black... Oh the irony... It burns. Just how will you Zimmerman haters spin that one?

Unfortunately I understand completely how the Martins feel. I manage to persevere in spite of it though.
