Bottom line is that there is guilt on both sides. Both parties made bad decisions that lead to the death of a young kid.
Zimmerman was over zealous and should have called the cops and went back to minding his own fuckin biz and it is very likely that he was profiling. A lesson for everyone really.
Martin should have gotten the hell out of there if he was truely scared. Granted he was not doing anything wrong or illegal regardless of his views on race.
With that said. If I were Z, I would have continued to mind my own biz and not profile the kid. If I witnessed something illegal then I would have called the cops. That is what neighborhood watch is supposed to do. Nothing more. It is amazing how much trouble can hapen when you involve yourself in other people's biz.
Now if I were TM, and I had some "crazy ass cracker" following me around, I would have knocked that mother fucker out too. The smart thing would have been to run away but I will stand my ground too.
A lesson here is to mind your own fucking biz.
It amazes me that we are where we are in life and race continues to dominate subjects like this.
It also amazes me to watch peoples true colors come out in situations like this, who supposedly are not racist. The comments and racial undertones tell it all no matter how much you try to hide it. There truely are some very ignorant people in this world on both sides of the race card.
In my opinion simply pulling the race card is racist no matter who it is. And those who use stereotypes to argue or get their point across are even worse.
Should Zimmerman go to jail?
I think he should. He overstepped his bounds and someone died as a result. I don't think he deserves life but he deffinitly deserves some form of punishment.
