at tootired2care, I said it could have been racial profiling. I dont think it was but I do not presume to know all facts in this case. We only heard one side of it. Obviously, you do not know me but I am far from being a leftist.

If you were on the Zimmerman jury, how would you vote? 2nd degree murder, manslaughter or innocent?

sounds like Simon was there and saw it all happen. Reasonable doubt freed him as it should. still we may not know the whole truth. TM is not here to tell his side.

Race could have been the issue. The mother could have changed her opinion. Of course GZ is not going to call someone the N word on the phone with 911.
Maybe Tm was afraid to go home thinking GZ might still have eyes on him. His friend told him to run. He told her he was going to run and GZ said he was running. We know why he was running. He told his friend that the man was following him and was creepy. Sounds like a scared kid to me. Too bad he didn't just go into his house that day. The friend said he told her he lost GZ but maybe he second guessed it. Again, he could have been afraid that GZ was still watching him. We do not know because he is dead. Maybe he decided to walk around and make sure GZ was gone out of site. Who really knows the whole truth.
What about the charges of GZ assaulting a cop and his ex-fiance? Couldn't we paint him as an angry man. He had to do anger management for the charges to be dropped. The jury wasn't allowed to hear this just as they were not allowed to hear about TM's past.

@ Simon Your rapist argument makes no sense to me. I don't get the comparison. Let me think about that one a little while longer.
As far as TM he was innocent that day. No weapons or stolen goods were found on him. His past just as GZ's should not be held against him. I do not think it is fair to focus only on TM's past and not GZ's.
Both could have had their characters maligned in that courtroom if the judge allowed the jury to hear about their past.

If there is any truth in his Hannity interview it seems he just doesn't get it. I would be interested to learn more about his past. I wonder if he was bulllied by "thugs" or thugs as a kid. Some of the social media posts of his makes him look pretty judgemental. I'm not defending thugs or criminal behavior but I also don't condone the way GZ sized up TM, a stranger. Of course he can be suspicious of anyone he wants but his actions led to the death of a kid we have to presume was innocent of whatever no good behavior was in GZ's head that night.
GZ can say whatever he wants now because TM is gone and cannot defend his actions.

nonjwsouse, with all due respect, it dpends on the case. I work in dependency law and I will tell you there are some pretty crappy/negligent parents in the world.
I keep going back and forth on my opinion in this case. Part of me thinks he should be convicted of manslaughter and part of me thinks he should be aquitted. I don't think he has told the full story but that cannot be proven so I would have to let him walk if I were on the jury.

LOL i know this was a tragic even but that was funny. How this got on air I don't know. They explained it but I still don't get it. Maybe not too many Asians in that area?
I woke up to my husband who is Chinese American cracking up while reading this story.

There must be a reason you feel this way. Acknowledging your feelings is admirable. Now you need to explore why you feel this way. I usually comes from something in childhood. Were your parents predjudice in any way? Did you see something a young age that traumatized you.
I remember one assembly my sister and I saw a large black woman beating her kid in the bathroom. I don't mean a few swats on the butt either. This lady was out of control. Someone reported her, rightfully so. It was very sad. We were older but I imagine if we were young it could have left a lasting impression. Other than the impression that that woman was crazy.
