i agree it is not a racial issue,but the race-baiters piled on it to make it one.. But you are completely wrong on everything else..you mis-state the facts of the case. What a jury would see is that a 6 ft tall 160 lb man attacked a 170 lb man,knocked him to the ground,and pounded him into the pavement..In the struggle the attacker was shot 1 time in the chest at very close range while on top of the shorter man..And the attacker,Trayvon, had access to the gun as it was easily within his reach.. What is sad is that you condone a mob mentality and violence against someone who wasn't even charged after an extensive police investigation...who made you,Sharpton ,or the Black Panthers the judge and jury?? And i would donate to a Muslim if he was protecting his home,his neighbors, and acting in self defense.. Heck, i donated to a Hispanic...and i would donate to an Asian,a Somoan, and i would to a Black.. I am in support of anybody who defends their life and property even with deadly force.And i am against the BS the media keeps spewing,and the prejudice displayed by our current govt... I donated because i support the right for a citizen with a permit to carry a weapon and defend himself,and that issue is raised once again.. Understand this,,,i also gave Zimmerman money because he is one man against a racist mob..If Zimmerman was black,or Trayvon white, no black person would say a word.. That Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are given free Air time to make demands and accusations is a disgrace. That the Black Panthers can openly offer money as a bounty on Zimmerman and not be arrested is a disgrace.. That the media can misrepresent so many of the facts,including editing the 911call and inaccurate pictures, is a disgrace. Do you know what his tattoos mean?? Why won't the media use this picture and not that photoshopped one that you see everywhere?

It's called finding the FACTS. Being "armed" does not make you more guilty than being unarmed. Being "aggressive" or "attacking" someone" does. So until the facts prove the "armed" guy just ran up to the "unarmed" one and decided to shoot him for no reason, don't be so quick to judge It's legal to carry a firearm with a license, and if someone attacks you PHYSICALLY, no matter if they just don't like you looking at them, or following them, or even shouting nasty things at them, THAT is against the law, and THAT gives sufficient cause to PROTECT yourself and use that licensed firearm if you choose. Not saying the guy is not guilty, but IF the facts show that the kid was a hot head, and he made the FIRST move of PHYSICALLY harming the other guy, then the shooting is justified and legal in Florida, and anyone who would DEMAND other "justice" would ONLY be doing it because of RACE. If all the kid did was turn around and shout obscenities and tell the other guy to piss off, then the shooter should hang, but let's see what the facts are.
