KT,

>You start off with an open mind, not dancing nightmares of teenagers with gold teeth and hoodies. <

I've already addressed the mental illness of people that would rather be dead than profile based on the statistics that describe the world we actually live in.

I'm not mentally ill. So even though I agree it's an unfortunate situation, I understand the stats that would cause Zimmerman to be suspicious of a stranger in his neighborhood dressed like a thug. There's nothing illegal about having a functioning brain.

After that, I start with a blank slate.

You start with a hate crime and work your way down as you fail to prove the various degrees of your bias.

Zimmerman's "supposed" story is out there via his lawyer and comments from police. His brother was interviewed on CNN and said the same things that were attributed to Zimmerman. His father also made similar comments. So we can be fairly sure what his defense and story is.

The facts we have so far are the facts as I described them.

You are unwilling to accept the possibility that the law did its job and released him because there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute him or there was enough evidence to actually believe him.

You don't start with a guilty verdict, try to instigate violence and revenge, rile up crowds, destroy careers and lives etc... if you don't get the revenge you want against whitey for things that were done long before most of us were even born. If you aren't satisfied with the way the police handled a case, you find a reputable lawyer and step up the investigation in a civilized professional way to get to the bottom of what actually happened.
