Thank you! Finally someone said it. I've read the thread and the defenders of the killer giving reasons why it might be self defense and saying let's wait and see. I wanted to scream look at that kid he is so small and Zimmerman looks like a big guy, I guess he is at least twice the size of the kid. How in hell does a big man like that feel threatened by such a small boy. The kid also looked very mild and well-groomed and his dress is very decent. No hint of any roughness or gangster threats. Not that these things are key but besides skin color and possession of a weapon the only other explanation for seeing a kid walking on the street and feeling threatened would be if he was big and looked  How on earth does a big man see a small well-groomed child, and think he is suspicious and feel threatened while you are  following him. WTF! The biggest travesty here is that the police let him walk away. This is what is aggravating most of us IMO, who feel outraged by this story.

If you are a black mother, you worry that this could be your child next time in another neighborhood facing another racist. If you are a white mother you don't have that worry and can never understand the fear one may feel when your child walks out the door. But in that case, don't tell others to just relax. At a minimum, the killer should be arrested, even if he'll be let out on bail. Come on now people.[/quote]
