The media has certainly turned it into a race issue.
And how does that validate your point and not mine?
Note the SANE part of my statement. I would hardly call the media a sane source for information.

Then we have about half of a nation insane out there...its much worse than you think..this isnt a few nuts that believe this stuff but a rather large portion of the people.I'm pretty sure most sane people are not trying to turn this into a race issue. But the inability of the few to drop it is what is making it into a bigger issue than it needs to be.

Even taking race out of the equation the entire this is still rather far fetched.
The guy may very well get arrested we just dont know...They tend to be very careful before arresting for murder or manslaughter
Perhaps sane/insane isn't the correct wording, then. The paranoid are making this a race issue. Is that more accurate?
it is gonna be a stretch to show Zimmerman was not in a battle
unless you want to put the witness who stated Martin was on top hitting Zimmerman into the conspiracy
So let us add up who needed to be in the conspiracy
Police.......... who also wanted to press manslaughter charges
DA............. who asked for the state AG to press charges
AG............ who said there was not enough evidence
Witness..... who said Martin was on top
Police........ who said Zimmermans back was grassy and he had blood on his face and back of the head
EMT......... who stated Zimmerman had blood on his face and head
Damn .... That is some conspiracy
Face it John. The story is nothing like originally indicated in the press where it was insinuated a racist white man executed as black kid. This same alleged racist who is reported to tutor kids, including blacks.
The only thing that is sure is that Zimmerman shot the kid. The events leading up to it are up for dispute. The fact Zimmerman got out of his car is irrelevant. If I was to guess one of the two started lipping off. Then the kid got the best of Zimmerman and Zimmerman got free and panicked and shot out of a sense of fear. Certainly not a cold blooded execution which is what some nuts have indicated. Including some idiot people in congress along with the likes of Spike Lee and the New Black Panthers. The rhetoric is sickening
It could very well become a case of felony murder, however. Depending on what happened, if it was determined that Zimmerman commited any felony act and Martin died as a result of it... you have a murder charge.
But as of current if he went to try to see where the guy was and was attacked....I cant justify prosecuting him.
We dont know that he pursued him.Americans are free to not be persued by fellow citizens. He had no right whatsoever to be following Martin.
Great article by a CONSERVATIVE on how the nut-job wing of the Republican party is WRONG for getting involved and defending Zimmerman.

And "Stand Your Ground" -- what the hell is that supposed to mean? Once a fight begins, can't Martin stand his ground as well? And if both can stand their ground, doesn't it just become a contest of who is better armed? It sounds to me like the guy who brings the deadliest weapon wins.
Of great interest will be some pictures of Zimmerman before being treated at the scene
I sure hope the liberals are not right on this one....if they are ole Zimmerman may have a rough future ahead for himself.
Why in God's name are you making this into a liberal/conservative issue?
Me?.......ROFL...Read the thread{s}
The liberals turned into a liberal conservative issue
Pretty much as follows...arrest him now equals liberal
Anyone that doesnt agree is labeled a conservative.
Not to mention if they are right and this Zimmerman wasnt acting in self defense..we will never hear the end of it.
But most importantly..A young man would have died that unjustifiably
It's weird how politics got into this issue. But unfortunately, many of the usual suspects of the talking heads are jumping right in.
Did you see this article in this thread:

When we all first started discussing the issue here at OTz, I didn't see any politics. But all of a sudden some people started using common conservative talk show buzz words in defense of Zimmerman, and then out come the Jesse, Al and Black Panther comments.
Reasonable conservatives and liberals are not politicizing the issue - but the politics have been injected big time sadly.
Yes you ya right wing nut job.
Not true. It was you righties that started invoking Al, Jesse, race pimping et al into the conversation.
Not true. Read the article written by a conservative that I posted on the first page of this thread. Most Americans believe Zimmerman should be charged with at least manslaughter and be tried before a jury of his peers.
Well - you cannot deny what is coming out of the conservative blogs and talk shows and is getting posted right here.
You mean if about 75% of America is right? I reckon the remaining nut-jobs will say Jesse and Al won if Zimmerman is charged, tried and found guilty.
A young man HAS DIED UNJUSTIFIABLY. There is no dispute about that. Zimmermans complete disregard for the instructions of law enforcement caused this incident. Had Zimmerman stayed put, we would not be having this discussion.
