Zimmerman issue was big because he was let go with no charges and because Martin's parents fought and fought for what they felt was right while there were ppl who felt Zimmerman was justified. The back and forth made it a big case.

It was more than the no charges. Even after the case was done there was still a huge buzz. People didn't just want him to goto trial they wanted him nailed. The media in this case was trying to sell a story. It seemed good in the begining. Unarmed black 'kid', gun wielding 'white' guy(especially in the context of the recent high profile shootings). Unfortunately, the kid was not really the little kid in the photos, he was a 6 foot 200+ man. But to keep the story going we only say his photos when he was 12 or 14. It was unfortunate that he was half hispanic..so we had the term 'white hispanic' given to keep it alive. Helping this along was a presidential adoption, special prosecutors hiding evidence, race hustlers all working to nail the guy and deliver the conclusion of the story the media was selling. So the media does not try to protect black peoples' feelings. But they do try to generate stories(instead of reporting what's out there)that they think will sell them the most viewership/subscriptions/sales.

Don't know why you felt the need to exaggerate Martin's size, he was 5'11 160pds. The story kept going because Zimmerman's side of the story was very leaky. Also lets not act like things didn't come out to attack Martin's character claiming he was a thug or putting the young black girl on stand to make them look bad while Zimmerman refuses to go on stand(Lawyers intelligently made sure that didn't happen).

He said on his way back to the car Martin popped up on him and stated do you have a problem? Zimmerman replied, no I don't have a problem and Martin stated well you have a problem now, then punched Zimmerman in the face. Now it may or may not have happened, but logically I don't buy it. Logically Martin isn't going to strike Zimmerman without asking if he was a cop first or who he was. Also why wouldn't Zimmerman state that he was the neighborhood watch and there was a lot of vandalism in the area etc.. Like how an adult would respond in that situation? Then he claimed that Martin was beating him up when someone opened there door and saw the fight. The man then stated he was calling the police. Zimmerman told the guy to help him while getting his face pounded. Now Martin knowing that someone saw the fight and is calling the police still stayed there to put a beat down on Zimmerman. Again logically not buying it. Then the gun was shown as Zimmerman's jacket was risen up during the scuffle. Zimmerman claims that Martin sees the gun and stated your going to die tonight mother f****. So Martin knowing that the police is coming, not wondering or caring if Zimmerman was a cop or anything after seeing the gun. With no beef with Zimmerman other then being followed, was out to kill him at all cost no matter what forcing Zimmerman to react in a kill or be killed circumstance.

We can be politically correct but if these were three white people gunning down an aspiring young African American---cities would be on fire...... What caused this young man to say 90% of white people were nasty and that he hated them--why what caused this? This almost has to be a learned experience from a relative older than him--he was born to hate white people.h--we just saw Bradley Copper with a fine example of closet racism-- but this was on a nother level--scary stuff. I hope that African americans do not have this view of white people---there is nothing a white person who lives in todays world can do about things that happened before they were born--before their parents were born. There is a lady who lives three doors down from me--shes an African American APRN and her husband works on cars---such a nice family. They saved up for 5 years by living with relatives and bought a beautiful--shes from the Bell Vista projects in New Haven. I spent a couple of nights sitting talking into the night with these people and their family/kids I just dont get it theyre beautiful people who obviously just want to live a nice life--isnt thats wht its all about---they are friendly and hard working and if everyone took this avenue--there wouldnt be time to be aracist or think things like that sad sad sad.

There are 42 million Black people in this country. You honestly think we have a Sunday Brunch Club where we sit around talking about how much we hate white people? LOL.

No I don't think so(that statement by me was a poor example of trying to understand why this young man said he hated 90% of white people)-- this young man had learned hatred for whites at 16--enough to go out and just kill one for no other reason that hate it appears. I guess thats just scary as hell.

That I can definitely agree with. At the same time, that is one incident in a nation of 300 million. Cases like this are very isolated. The likelihood of an event like this happening to me or someone I know is pretty remote. It what makes these instances all the more outrageous.

you assume people are rational-- they're not

Yeah, Zimmerman and that jury demonstrated the point well.

zimmermann and, presumably, martin were irrational.

the jurors, however, made a decision based on the law, and in their demonstration of making decisions based on the law they proved to be rational. the laws are at fault here.

which clearly doesn't mean that the verdict coincides with what is right or ethical-- and that's the damnable and lamentable thing of it all. obviously zimmermann should be doing a long stretch.

the verdict gives lawmakers and legislators the opportunity to change the laws so that such decisions cannot be forced to be made again.

What Zimmerman stated could have been 100% accurate. But there could also be major details left out that provide reasoning behind it.

The people who don't believe Zimmerman should be charged with murder because of lack of evidence I agree with and understand. The people that completely side with Zimmerman and say things like its so sad that Martin forced Zimmerman to have to kill him. I have to believe that you have an agenda.

This is not even touching on the parts that the police tested Martin for drugs while not testing Zimmerman and automatically assumed Zimmerman was justified. Or the fact that Zimmerman's father is well connected being an ex judge. Which could potentially make police, and other in the judicial system act more favorably towards Zimmerman then another regular Joe.

just because he was acquitted does not mean that he is not guilty. that is why the laws are at fault and must be changed. there is virtual unanimity on this point i believe, with the exception of nra acolytes. so far as his father's connections that seems a reach. it means the jurors were coerced and you don't believe that.

thinking about what the juror said, the irksome thing is that she took no issue with his character or lack thereof. you have to be naive to hear the testimony of his trainer, for instance, and not reach a point where you question the quality of person zimmermann is.

ideally he gets sent to jail for a long stretch, but the operative word is "ideal."

Nobody really knows what happened and we can't start locking people up for assumptions even if they seem logical. Then you may end up locking up an innocent man without proper evidence. IMO he should have at least been ordered to do some type of community service with the goal of having him and the public learn from this issue and preventative measures so that things like this never happen again. Especially to people with gun licenses.

His father's connections if they did have any impact on the case. It would be with the lawyers who tried the case on both sides, the judge giving out the sentencing, and the initial police investigation. Potentially or I should say possibly at this point being the key word. Then there are people who were sponsoring him because they believe in the right to bare arms. And all they care about is protecting that right and not if he was guilty or innocent.

Despite the election of our nation's first African-American president, African Americans remain by far the most frequent victims of hate crimes. Of the 7,624 hate crime incidents reported nationwide in 2007, the most recent year for which data is available, 34 percent (2,659) were perpetrated against African Americans, a number and percentage of incidents that has changed little over the past 10 years. According to the FBI's HCSA report, more than twice as many hate crimes were reported against African Americans as against any other group.

From lynching, to burning crosses and churches, to murdering a man by chaining him to a truck and dragging him down a road for three miles, anti-black violence has been and still remains the prototypical hate crime, intended not only to injure and kill individuals but to terrorize an entire group of people.

Hate crimes against African Americans have an especially negative impact upon society for the history they recall and perpetuate, potentially intimidating not only African Americans, but other minority, ethnic, and religious groups.

Examples of recent hate crimes committed against African Americans include:

On Election Night 2008, Ralph Nicoletti and Michael Contreras, both 18, and Brian Carranza, 21, of Staten Island, New York decided shortly after learning of Barack Obama's election victory "to find African Americans to assault," according to a federal indictment and other court filings. The men then drove to a predominantly African-American neighborhood in Staten Island, where they came upon a 17 year-old African American who was walking home after watching the election at a friend's house. One of the defendants yelled "Obama!" Then, the men got out of the car and beat the youth with a metal pipe and a collapsible police baton, injuring his head and legs. The men went on to commit additional assaults that night.

Their hate crime spree culminated with crashing their car into a man who they mistakenly believed to be African-American, causing his body to shatter the windshield. While the victim ultimately survived the attack, he was in a coma for a period of time.26 Brian Carranza pleaded guilty to conspiring to assault Staten Island residents after the election of President Obama and faces 10 years in prison. Nicoletti and Contreras pleaded not guilty.

Justin Sigler, 19, of Natchitoches, Louisiana, pleaded guilty in December 2008 to conspiring with two other individuals to violate the civil rights of a man in Lena, Louisiana who was the first African American to move into a home in the neighborhood. Sigler and two others fired shotguns at a target on a field adjacent to the victim's property before one member of the group turned his shotgun away from the target and toward the victim and his house. The next evening, Sigler, dressed in a white robe as a member of the Ku Klux Klan, went with his coconspirators to a field adjacent to the victim's residence and shouted, "White Power!" and "White Knights!" Shaken by these events, the family eventually sold their home.

Other way around really haven't heard a peep. I think this is what is the basis of much of the racism we have in the country now. A reverse psychology. Whoever did what here. This is one of the worst race crimes in 20 years and I hope people from all races learn and continue to learn from this. This young man had serious hatred for whites at 16 What caused this?

Not to worry. Jesse Jackson 'frowns upon' killing white folks it seems. And that is being generous. There was also a WWII vet killed outside a lodge by a couple of black teenagers, that noone will talk about either. There will be no marches, TV interviews or death threats. Racism only works one way in the press and with politicians. If you disagree you'll be labeled a racist. You've been warned.

First and foremost, Jesse Jackson is not the mouthpiece for all black Americans.

Second, it goes both ways, dont make it seem like there haven't been hundreds of white on black crimes that haven't been reporter thats been going on for decades. Just focus on the summer of 2013:

John Spooner, 77 year old white man killed an unarmed black kid named Darius Simmons. Where was the outcry for that?

Another unarmed black teen was killed by a white man because he was playing his music too loud. I wonder how many people on this board heard about this case?

12 year old boy selling lemonade was attacked in Fairfax county. A person threw a red balloon full of urine hitting the boy in the thigh. White people screamed from the window "Go back to Africa you **** monkey!"

Black woman got 20 years in prison for shooting over the head of her abusive husband. Judge said, "She should have ran." Really, why didn't the judge say the same thing to Zimmerman? Why didn't she get the stand your ground treatment, especially considering that she didn't shoot anyone?

In closing, there are horrific crimes all over this country, lets not make it out to be that no-one care only when its a black on white crime. Hundreds of white on black crimes are not only never reported, but even the ones that are high profile, we've seen cases where whites still seem to get off with less than a slap on the wrist.
