Why is this Zimmerman case a big deal?
So, some guy shot a kid, and they're trying to determine if he was in the right to, or if he murdered him...or something.
Alright, but why is this national news? People get shot and killed everyday. Yes, kids also get shot and killed a lot. Why is this one case such a massive deal? Why is it all I see in the news?

1 ReplyBecause a black guy was killed and now the black community is overreacting again as usual.

Because there is still a lot of racism in the USA, despite what people want to admit to. The incident appears race oriented in nature, the police response to it looked racist in nature, the reporting was definitely racist to one degree or another. We would like to tell ourselves now that we have elected a black man to the Whitehouse that we are now color blind. We couldn't be further from that particular ideal. My favorite of the racist accounts is the exchange between MSNBC and Fox. MSNBC made Treyvon out as an angel early on. They left out a few important details about him. They demonized Zimmerman. Fox, catching wind of this had two options, they could have exposed what MSNBC did, and showed the real deal, or they could have exaggerated it the other way. Unfortunately, they went with B, and painted Treyvon as a gangsta predator that was looking for a victim. The truth is somewhere in between, I am sure.

2 RepliesBecause it's reflective of a bunch of larger issues going on in modern society with the nature of blacks still being second class citizens.

Because ghetto rats think everything is racist. Black person dies by someone of another ethnicity, the ghetto black community disregard all logic and claim racism.

Trayvon brought skittles to a gun fight....

Was there a past history of Zimmerman being racist? If there wasn't, how is this a race thing?

If the kid was white no one would care

Because many people are stupid and don't realize what the Stand Your Ground law is, and think Zimmerman is using it as his defense.
