I didn't get the impression he was trying to disrupt at all. Sometimes things are just what they seem. A person, in this case, who is disturbed by the way the public gets whipped up into a frenzy and loses sight of what will affect all of us every time there is a high-profile case like this. It IS a concern so it's worth discussing imo.
In this case, and he may or may not have known this, it appears that there might not have been justice had the case not been brought to the attention of the media.
The police seem to be saying that under the current law, they could not arrest Zimmerman. That is a whole other debate, although very related to this case since that was their reason for not arresting him.
Since then, more information has surfaced that may provide what is needed to make an arrest.
But why not just respond to the question asked, and why assume the worst of someone asking a question, when there is no reason to do so?
