George Zimmerman (29) After seeing a black male walking on the streets, he called the police. The police told George not to follow him, but of course he followed anyway. George claims that the black male attacked him, and he admitted to shooting, and killing the black minor named Trayvon Martin (19). He claimed it was self defence, and was freed from all charges.
If only George didn't go looking for trouble Trayvon Martin may still be alive today...
R.I.P. Trayvon Martin
There is also a similar case...
August 19, 1989
Troy Davis (21) was accused of shooting, and killing a white off-duty police officer by the name of Mark Macphail (27) with witnesses admitting that the police persuaded or convinced them to sign a paper saying that they saw Troy kill off-duty police officer Mark Macphail. Troy was later sent on death row, and on September 21, 2011 was executed.
I believe that Troy did not kill Mark, but that is just my opinion.
R.I.P. Troy Davis
I think that this shows that the United States justice system has racial issues still today.
These are only my opinions, as I am not looking for an argument, but feel free to post your thoughts and comments about these cases.

I would also like to say
the only racist thing in the Zimmerman trial
is the NAACP believing it's racist
if the races were changed
this murder would never have been mentioned once on the news
it just so happened that the dude was black and Zimmerman was white
how many more murders are the other way around that we don't hear about? |

| While there are still racial prejudices the actual court system itself is fine and the only problem with it is you need judges and jurys that are unbiased and in the case of jurys informed skeptics. |

12prind in that other argument we were having
I want to make clear
I meant stopping murder by being nice to people
not by killing potential murderers
in case you didn't see where I clarified that |

"if Trayvon hadn't assaulted Zimmerman"
Lets flip this around.
If Zimmerman never stalked Trayvon this wouldn't have happened.
I am Trayvon's height, I am his age. I could go out one night and some short guy is following me. I will attack that guy to get him off of me. You don't follow people, that is why this whole thing happen. |

So
because someone is monitoring you from a distance
because
the dude looked like he was on drugs and up to no good
you have the right to attack them
no
the stand your ground law only works if you are in life threatening danger
someone monitoring you is MOST DEFINITELY NOT life threatening and gives you no right to go smash their face into the concrete
the government monitors you every day anyway |

This wouldnt have happend if zimmerman hadn't of stalked him with a gun in the first place. Also for all we know trayvon could have attacked him in self defense. |

No it legally does not
the stand your ground law clearly says
it must be a life threatening situation
you could just as easy say
because one of your friends is looking at you
you have to right to pummel their face
dude look at what you are saying |

"1. nobody cares"
Well obviously they do.
"2. what do you know, you don't know crap about the law"
Baseless assumption.
" 3. zimmerman WAS in self-defense, even if the black person attacked anyways "
No it wasnt.
"3a. trayvon isn't a minor, he's 19"
He was 17. |

"I would also like to say

And the guy who stalked and killed some because they where black.
"if the races were changed

Well thats because the black guy would go to jail. The only reason this became a thing was because zimerman wasnt charged in the first place.
"it just so happened that the dude was black and Zimmerman was white"
Zimmerman is latino.
"how many more murders are the other way around that we don't hear about?"
Quite a few but thats because the black guy tends to go to jail. |

He felt threatened. Clearly he felt threatened. He wouldn't have fought him other wise. You do not know if Martin yell at him to stop, you only know what happened in Zimmerman's story. There is a whole other side that we are missing.
All I know is that I am the same body mass as Martin was/is, even so I am even taller. I would have attacked him, I would have beat the hell out of him, to make sure he wouldn't kill me. FL has a lot of crazies. |

@blaster
The media likes to twist the story a lot. Here's the real story:
Trayvon Martin was just walking down the street on a dark, rainy night. He looked suspicious because he was walking really slowly, had a hoodie on, and having his hands in his pockets a suspicious way. George Zimmerman called the police and the dispatcher, which has no authority, suggested Zimmerman stay in the car. But instead he got out and followed Trayvon. Then he turned around and attacked Zimmerman and was beating the crap out of him. Witnesses saw it happen, and there was a bunch of blood and marks on his face. After that, Zimmerman shot him in self defense. This is why he's innocent.

| @life Oh, I heard that he police received a call from Zimmerman at around nighttime. He told the police he saw a suspicious black male walking on the streets, so the police told him they were on their way, and not to follow him. Then he followed him anyway, claiming he was just going to confirm the address. Then that's when all the action started. :/ |
