Trayvon Martin ran from George Zimmerman. George Zimmerman ran him down.

41. He had such a huge issue with black kids...

...that he mentored two of them even when funds for expenses for that mentoring were no longer available. And he had such an issue with black people that he protested the unfair treatment of a homeless black man by police.

There is no such thing as "well...he was against blacks this time, but not that time." He didn't have a huge issue with black kids. He had a huge issue with criminals committing crimes in his neighborhood and against his friends and neighbors. If the majority of those caught robbing and casing his community were black, that doesn't show that he had a problem with blacks. It shows that there was a problem with crime in his neighborhood and the majority of the perpetrators were black.

You do realize that George Zimmerman had no control over the skin color of the people who chose to commit crimes in his neighborhood, don't you?

As to his statement of "...they always get away", it is my opinion that he clearly meant those who had robbed and seek to rob homes within his community. There is nothing whatsoever to indicate that he meant only black people.

And thank you for bringing up Burgess. That's a classic example of why people within a community do just as Zimmerman did. Members of communities that are being terrorized by crimes learn quickly that the police often can't get there fast enough to catch the criminal. Public assistance can make a difference, and that includes following the suspect so as to let the police know their location so they don't get away.

Zimmerman did not have a violent arrest record. The judge at the bond hearing himself stated that those items on his record were minor and irrelevant to this case. He was arrested one time, and the charges were dropped. He and his ex-girlfriend both took restraining orders out on each other. That's it. If he had a violent arrest record, he would not have been granted a conceal carry permit.
