I think it really sucks that this kid is dead. It sounds like Zimmerman is some kind of whack-job cop wannabe.
That being said, I think racial politics that have enflamed the entire situation are pathetic.
"Zimmerman is a racist". "Trayvon is only dead because he is a black male". "Zimmerman can't be racist because he is hispanic."" He isn't hispanic enough." "he's only half hispanic, the white half is proabaly the racist" "A black man can't walk the streets without being shot down like a dog" "He shouldn't be walking around dressed like a gangster in a hoodie"
There were no less than 4 articles and columns in our local paper this morning, none of them having anything to do with facts, but all of them fanning the flames.
Gross.
Nobody is ever going to know what really happened.
