This isn't about race or the fact Zimmy is a latino would be dragged into it. This is about a wannabe cop, who's not to bright, that got himself into a situation he couldn't handle, that is faced with a skinny 16 year old kid armed with a bag of skittles and he still ended up getting his ass kicked. This resulted in his killing a kid and he came within a whisker of spending a very long time in prison for his stupidity. You can make this about race and politics all you want and that only shows a lack of judgment and character on your part.You've never seen a wiry dude whip the shit out of a bigger person lol? I don't know if that was happening in the Zimmer case [I don't know that it wasn't and no one else does either] but Zimmerman had the right to defend himself if it was. The court weighed the evidence and agreed.
That's about all you can say about it.
But the left found the race angle irresistible so it got blown out of proportion; all sorts of assumptions were made; Obama and Sharpton waded into it and the rest is racial discord history.
Nothing in the court decision stated that Zimmerman had an inalienable right to defend himself with deadly force against teenage assailants armed with skittles. It determined that he was innocent by reasonable doubt. That there was not enough evidence to convict him on the charges of second degree murder. This is not the same as saying the jury defended Zimmermans actions. Had there been a reliable witness to the altercation Zimmerman very well could have ended up in prison. That we will never know.
But don't try to sell this moron to me as some sort of civil rights hero. Zimmerman, as his own actions and words attest to, is a moron. Why should I care what a moron thinks or says?
This is about a dumbass who is still by and large behaving like a dumbass.
