This never would have happened if Trayvon was white. Are you really so dense as to not get that? If he was white he would have "belonged" in the neighborhood and Zimmerman would never have noticed him in the first place, much less calling 911, tailing him and gunning him down.

How does anyone know that it couldn't have happened if Trayvon Martin was not AA? The police on the scene wrote reports, had witnesses, cuffed Zimmerman, took his gun, etc. I found online mugshots and there are lots of very scary looking people of all races plus those who do not appear threatening.

And who is the white t shirt person when Zimmerman wore red and Trayvon grey? Was a third person involved?

It it likely that the attacker hates white people?

^I'm sorry your wishes about the race of the victim haven't come true, madam. Hopefully, killers will take your wishes into account next time they go shooting.

certainly a tough situation and a tough set of facts. I'm not sure how much race really played a role in any of this.

My thoughts are:

1. I don't think the new Florida statute is relevant.
2. This is more old-fashioned self defense. So what is the law? If you chase someone down, and the chasee fights back and is beating you up, is it then self defense to use deadly force? on one hand the shooter was getting beat up and his life may have reasonably been threatened (maybe a stretch). but on the other hand the entire confrontation was started by the eventual shooter, so how is that self defense?

The white "kan?"

The "game changing" witness is very likely the same one who was interviewed by police the night of Trayvon's death. I can't find it on a news site, but in an online discussion of this case from March 10th, people were discussing the witness who says he saw Trayvon atop of Zimmerman.

If this is between minorities, is Jesse Jackson barred from seeking justice?

Not game changing because this is probably what happened and why Zimmerman is not in. Jail

^So you're just saying it's the first time the witness has been interviewed, not the first time the witness' statement was spoken about in the media, right?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't police had this testimony from this witness since the night of the shooting? If this is the same witness, it's not "game changing" because it's been reported in the media for weeks.

yesterday was the first time anyone in the news discussed with the witness what he reported to the police.
