Defintely a step behind....do I think it was race motivated - yes.....did Zimmerman have a point to prove - only to himself.

It's one thing to report this to the 911 dispatch, but he should have just moved on as the Police told him too! It's a crying shame!

That is heartbreaking on SO many levels. Not least that it's taking place in this day and age. Thank you for posting this.

The shooter was an asshole who I feel hated blacks. I can see something going wrong if the kid didn't belong in the gated community but he did belong. Trayvon saved his dad from a fire at age 4. I can can almost see this in my mind. Two women heard crying and then shots and then the crying stopped. This guy is a murderer and I feel this is going to case a riot and very soon. The police admitted to fucking up too.
