Omg people! I’m tired of all the race talk, white vs black stuff! There are so many other cultures & racism goes far beyond black & white! This is why We All Fail (as a people) Treyvon did not deserve to die, & hate crime or not, this matter should have been taken care of properly! The fact that it wasn’t has stirred up so much trouble, causing us to fight rather than stand together! Ppl stop getting upset cuz others are protesting for treyvon. Everyone is free of their own choices, so pushing all these other cases on here just BC its about Treyvon is unnecessary! This is not “tick for tack” guys, please! Oh & PS: Whites kill Whites, Blacks kill Blacks, damn actually people of every race, ethnicity, ***, creed & class kill those similar & different backgrounds! Yall get my drift?!?!?!

I agree with the above comment. The “black teen” to assaulted the other team memeber I’m sure was arrested and recieved some sort of punishment for her behavior. And that is the difference! Had Trayvon been white and Zimmerman been black, I’m sure Zimmerman would have been arrested and charged on the spot. This is about racism.

People can be SO ignorant! I swear! Trayvon Martin was a 17 year old boy that was walking home from the store & had skittles & Arizona ice tea on him & was racially profiled as being suspicious because 1… He was black 2…. He had a hoodie on.. Zimmerman chased him down & shot an unarmed boy just because of the way he looked! Than Zimmerman tried to lie & get away with it by saying ” he had a broken nose & bump on his head! The tape that was shown Zimmerman walking in the police station .. He didn’t have a scratch on him! It’s sickening for people to justify this is ANY way shape or form!!! There is NO case that you could possibly compare this too!!! I don’t care what ANYBODY say!!! If tables were turned and Trayvon shot Zimmerman! Trayvon would be in jail today!!! BTW NOT only black people are protesting this!!! White people , Spanish people are doing this too!!! I’m a white woman with Biracial children! My son has an Afro & wears hoodies! Does that mean someone could just shoot my son just because he looks suspicious? NO it doesn’t give ANYBODY the right too kill anyone!!! Zimmerman was NOT a cop & he was told to keep his sorry a$$ in that car & he got out & chased him anyways!!! The problem with this world today is ignorant people that justifies what Zimmerman did!!!! Trayvon is a 17 year old boy who was taken away from his parents too early!!! How would you like it if that were your son???

Thank you Lee first comment about us all joining as one equal.alot of us white and black are all in the same boat money,jobs,housing,medical,family issues.so we all need to get along blaming racism for problems and get through these problems together instead of fighting and stop arguing whose fault it is.

It’s scary when politicians inject themselves into pending or impending litigation/ investigations. There is a specific reason for the separation of powers. Besides, Rivera would better serve us by focusing on MA laws rather than FLA’s laws, which she has no bearing on.

Ya know everyone’s talking its not this and that clearly as stated after the March police and civilians ate letting off at our People as if we are Target practice and are getting away with it especially down south and on the 911 call dispatchers tell Zimmerman ” don’t follow…” But yet he does I know someone that was minority convicted in Hampshire county. Over a decade ago defending himself against 3 individuals and a jury found him guilty because the prosecutor said after the defendant was articles he didn’t have to get out of the car and beat them 3 up yet he didn’t have 911 on Tue phone telling him to stay back and that was also racially motivated due to the girl he was with but difference is Zimmerman had many places to run if he felt a threat and in my opinion besides emphasizing so much Trayvon was black he seemed to be looking for approval to shoot him not to mention although in pictures he ( Zimmerman ) looked fine even if he did take an ASAP whooping from a 17 year old doesn’t give the right to shoot and as for those commenting on the Black Panther…all I can say is this been going on too long Tue loan said they will take high positions in politics and every court Nd make people pay “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth “

This stuff happens all over America all the time… Only reason your hearing anything about this case is because they have great pictures of him being the perfect child 5 years ago. Picture perfect for a tantalizing media bit. I wish black people, white people or whoever would stop the “woe is me, woe is me” quit bitching and actually start raising better people to contribute to society.

This is more of a person deciding to take the law into their own hands and killing someone to me color is not the issue. The issue is this person was let go the authorities decided the evidence said self defense. Last I knew the police were to investigate and give the info to those that do decide the actual charges if any. This man was let go without the proper procedures being followed. Last I was informed neighborhood watch means to watch and report. He did that was told to back off and did not. He chose to become the neighborhood shooter. Do you want someone like that supposedly helping to protect your neighborhood? We need to get all the facts but what that man did was still wrong. His family is making it worse by all of their talk. He needs to turn himself in for proper processing. His lawyer should just be saying no comment or only commenting regarding his client,bad mouthing the victim is just plain stupid. Mr. Zimmerman needs to do the right thing. Let a judge and jury decide but at this point anything brought to the court by the sanford pd is not credible as far as I am concerned. They will only be trying to cover their own asses.

No they looking for him.all I am trying to say is there is good and bad in all colors.everytime someone white or black is killed we should be protesting against all stupid murders that hurt us all and stop blaming it on race.because we are one.when I was in Iraq my unit was black and white and we all protected and cared for each other.that was my family.and when one of us was in need we all helped.they all black and white were my brothers and still are.
