		<description>So, what we have here is that a man:

1. While driving around, saw another, unarmed man walking in a neighborhood.
2. Got out of his car, while carrying a gun.
3. Confronted the second man for no reason other than the first didn&#039;t like the look of him.
4. And then shot him.

None of these facts are in dispute. If this were a civil case, you could get a summary judgment against the first man.

In no universe with even the most microscopic sense of justice can this possibly, in any way, be anything than first-degree murder. I guess we&#039;ll see what the current justice-particle count of our universe is.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m one of the historical hold overs of being an &quot;other&quot;.
I can pass some scrutiny with ease.
I&#039;m white and my appearance is within social &quot;norms&quot;.
But I am the entire reason marriage is under attack, even if I don&#039;t leave a trail of fairy dust behind me when I walk.

How allowing me to marry (someday, hopefully) the person I love can destroy the entire fabric of society really is beyond me.
The only justification for it seems to be some people find it &quot;icky&quot; and their religious text has a couple lines to support it.  Right close to the ones that tattoos mean your going to hell just as fast as if you ate a cheeseburger, and the NFL is an abomination onto god for handling pig.

&quot;The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn&#039;t mean that God doesn&#039;t love heterosexuals. It&#039;s just that they need more supervision.&quot;

I live in a society that hates &quot;me&quot; but knows not a damn thing about me, just the lies others tell them.

I carry years of being blamed for all that is wrong and ruining the country, but to be really blunt - No one can explain how I destroyed the economy, gave Iran the bomb, caused an earthquake, caused a forest fire because I suck dick.

There will always be groups who try to blame &quot;the other&quot;, our duty is to not let them win.  Imagine all of the hate of &quot;the other&quot; instead focused on fixing whats broken instead of trying to just assign blame.</description>

		<description>Are you taking into account that literally the only establishment of the innocence of Zimmerman is Zimmerman&#039;s own account that he was getting brutally beaten by a significantly smaller 17 year-old so badly he was unable to threaten him with a gun before discharging it into his chest.</description>

		<description>&quot;Zimmermann&quot; is German for carpenter, an occupational surname not likely to be Jewish.  
(I know, Jesus was a carpenter... )   

&lt;i&gt;George Zimmerman a White Hispanic&lt;/i&gt;, as opposed to, like, a Colored Hispanic?  
Are they trying to say Mestizo?</description>

		<description>It really says a lot about how bad racism is in the US when you can have a story like this and people will &quot;defend&quot; the shooter with statistics about the &quot;average&quot; black man being more violent etc. You know that when you judge a black person by &quot;averages&quot; about their race, which are often questionable sources in and of their own right, rather than anything about that specific black person then that is actually called &quot;racist prejudice&quot; right? </description>

		<description>And if the police and court don&#039;t bother to do anything, not only would the murder never result in consequences, but we shouldn&#039;t even be allowed to say it was a murder. Excellent rule.

Simply saying something is a murder is a very different thing from the courts ruling it one and applying legal penalties. Nobody here is asking for anyone to skip due process, we&#039;re the ones calling for it. Who does it help to act like it&#039;s under threat from anyone except than the vigilante and his enablers?</description>

		<description> I guess its OK if you just make up definitions for words.

Fascism is government control of culture, economy and people, and both the dems and the repubs endlessly engage in it.  All those things you listed fall under one of the criteria I listed.</description>

		<description>I heard one of the 911 calls a few days ago.  You can hear this kid screaming and begging for help... desperately pleading for his life.  One of the more chilling things I&#039;ve ever heard.

The racist Florida police are scum and should rot in hell.  They should have reviewed the 911 tapes and other evidence and arrested Zimmerman.  Instead, they walked away from a murder.

And they wonder why some black people don&#039;t trust them, huh?  People in the department need to be fired.  It&#039;s time to clean house there.

		<description>People like that so want to kill OWS members. The blogs are full of fantasies of how they are somehow about to be overwhelmed by OWS members but they will make a last stand where the real patriots will mow them down.</description>

		<description>The outrage in this case is not that a racist asshole shot a kid -- that happens too often, as you say -- but that the police &lt;i&gt;did not arrest him&lt;/i&gt;. That&#039;s what all the fuss is about.</description>

		<description>This law sounds weird. You can murder someone in cold blood, claim self-defense, and the law can&#039;t touch you? No need to make it plausible that you were indeed being threatened?

How can he, big guy with a gun, and apparently a history of watching and confronting people on the street, claim that an unarmed teenager was a credible threat to him?</description>

		<description>Seeing this story from all the way over here in the UK, it surprises me that this sort of thing doesn&#039;t happen all the time.  The problem appears to be &quot;asshole with a gun&quot;.   The world is full of assholes, and in the US it&#039;s pretty easy for any of them to get a gun.

So, the salient question for me is: does this happen all the time and I don&#039;t get to here about it?  If so, why not?  Not newsworthy?   If not, and this is the big question, why?</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t quote everything:

&quot;    Yes it is wrong and I wish it would never have happened or ever happen again.&quot;

I thought that it was implied that everyone feels this way.
