Second, how long did it take for Zim to be arrested, and this only after extreme public pressure for an indictment? If this were such a simple case of a "kid" being gunned down for no reason whatsoever, he would have been arrested on the spot...it's amazing how everyone who sports this "it's because Martin was black that Zim wasn't arrested that night" fails to acknowledge that Zim isn't white, and that if this entire non-initial arrest were racially motivated, the "racist cops" could have arrested Zim on the spot and killed two birds with one stone, so to speak....

Anyway, i'm one of those who has always maintained a jury was needed to sort this case out...
Fine...a 17 year old adult. Either way, he was 17 and is now dead. Who cares if he's called a kid or adult?

I never said he was gunned down for no reason and I certainly didn't say Zimmerman wasn't arrested because Trayvon is black. The race card didn't get entered into the equation until Sharpton and Jackson got involved. That drew in the crazies from both sides. I said Zimmerman was overzealous (my opinion) and because of it, a 17 year old is dead.

Maybe I'm wrong and Martin was the aggressor. But that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

My point was Boxhair is (really) involved in this because of Trayvon's race. Do I need to remind people that Boxhair was trying to suggest the skittles Trayvon bought (which we saw on video) was made up and the skittles was a slang drug reference? He's grasping at straws and throwing as much shit against the wall hoping some sticks as possible.
