[QUOTE="Lotahp1, post: 1796380, member: 10998"] come on people...facts are Martin was not a 4.0 student etc etc. His parents didnt do a good job or else he would have been in bed at the wee early morning hours he was shot in. From my point of view Zimmerman was tired of getting robbed etc and was patroling the area looking for ANYONE not where they should be. He saw someone not where they should be at those times and stepped up. Police wouldnt come as he hadnt done anything yet they knew of, just out past cerfew. If Martin would have calmly went to Zimmerman and told him "Hey man Im just a kid wanting some candy at 3am and my parents dont care if I go wondering the streets at this time" Im sure Zimmerman would not have shot him. Instead he acted like a punk and thought he had a right to be there at 3am in a place that has had alot of crime durring those hours and gave a nieghborhood watch guy a bad time. In return the neighborhood watch held his ground and stopped the violence by shooting the attacker. Why everytime a black gets shot etc it turns into a race issue is stupid. If the black race wants to stop being labeled in a negative light they need to step up. That starts with the parents. If indeed Zimmerman is cleared of any wrong doing and is justified in defending himself I STRONGLY recomend his parents be charged with something as at his age its there responcibility to keep him in at 3am and make sure hes not doing bad...drugs etc. I also believe the media is racist by acting like its only because hes black and Zimmerman is not.
