You know, the jury had to prove that Zimmerman committed murder
beyond a reasonable doubt. Zimmerman didn't have to prove that he
absolutely did not do it. It's that presumed innocent thing.<br>
<br>
Also, the phrase "stalking him" implies a predator/prey
relationship. It assumes that he meant to do him harm. Which is
absurd on the face of it, because he had called the police and was
following him in order to keep tabs on him so that the police
could find them quicker. People contemplating criminal activity
don't call the police ahead of time to lead them to their
location. But "stalking him" fits the narrative, while simply
"following him" does not.<br>
<br>
In any other world, by the way, being involved with neighborhood
watch in order to protect your community from criminal activity
would be considered a positive thing.<br>

<div>You are confusing folks like myself who are upset about the
injustice and don't really think about Zimmerman one way or
the other. He's reckless and should be in jail but most of my
anger is directed toward the many levels of injustice that
surfaced during the killing, investigation, trial, and
aftermath.<br>

Let me just recap once more and then I'll give it a rest.
Florida is essentially saying it is OK for a white or Hispanic
man to drive around looking for "criminals," to stalk a young
black man if he thinks he is a threat, to continue stalking him
even after being advised not to do so, to eventually kill him,
and then to successfully claim "self-defense" even though no one
was around to witness the event.<br>
<br>
Something is seriously wrong with you if that doesn't upset you.</div>

In this instance, charges have been brought

How is this case analogous to the Martin case?
Why would we compare this crime to that one?<br>

'But let’s face it: black America isn’t

occasional white cop killing one black
