I'm not defending Zimmerman but let's take a look at a few facts here.
First off. I understand why people are pissed. Trust me there is every right to be. How would anyone feel if that was there son being shot for just walking around. We have a guy who sounds racist on the 911 tapes, who has made several calls to 911 and decided to take matters in his own hands. Those are facts.
Sadly though, according to Florida law, there has been no crime committed. The law states if you feel threatened, even though the cops told Zimmerman not to follow him and he CHOSE to, you can legally shoot someone FOR ANY REASON. You can look at someone wrong and be shot. That is how the law is written.
That being said with Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton in the like instead of protesting in the town in Florida where the tragic incident took place, they need to protest AND SUE the likes of those responsible for bringing the law about so this tragedy could take place. That's the only way true change can happen.

Do you understand that a witness stated that Martin was in the process of killing Zimmerman? Martin, according to a witness, was banging his head on the ground repeatedly and shouting something to the effect of "You're going to die!" I'm not defending Zimnmerman either for going after Martin in the first place, but what was he supposed to do, just lie there and let Martin kill him?
