I am not sure if many of you have ever lived in or near that community, but I have, in Lak Monroe, a few short miles away. That community is centered around a bunch of run down housing projects, and that 7-11 has a history of being robbed. The pictures the media shoves down your throat of Trayvon are from when he was 12. A 17 year old black male is WAY morel likely to engage in violence than someone like Zimmerman (race, age) as a matter of fact Gangs purposefully use those children for the fact that they ARE Juveniles. A lot of you do not know half of the truth. The fact that the IT admin for the D.A. got fired for pointing out that he found a bin file on Travons phone outlining a gun sale in txt, pics of a black hand holding a gun, and a pic of some drugs. The trial should never have happened. The law is clear. The Federal Government had to bring in an outside prosecutor who said she brought charges "To bring out the facts of the case". First of all you don't charge people with murder unless you 100% believe it to be true, and secondly, you do not do it "To bring out facts" so that the media and the black community will shut up. That night should never have happened, and it is both of their faults ultimately. None of you have lived near there, I have; white is the minority, nice is the minority, slums run by the government are the majority and so is crime, by young blacks (due to demographics, but still). IF Trayvon was wearing a hoodie, and it was night, how then could George even tell his color? He could have been a dark latino. Anyway, I think he could and should have been convicted with the proper crime, like negligence, or manslaughter, but not any degree of murder and that is where they messed up.
