@ Jason i understand having your mind open... but still... the kids unarmed... looks like he weighs no more then a 145 pounds... while zimmerman is a heavyset guy... there is no way that kid could be bashing his head in the concrete... and again... if the races were switched he would be in jail...
and don't get me wrong im usually the one shooting down the race card... but looking at the circumstances... it's not zimmerman that's the racist... it's the american justice system...

NIGGUHS DONT EVEN HAVE TO DO ANYTHING AND GO TO JAIL FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!
in fact... my homie from highschool got sentenced to like 20+ years in prison because of armed robbery or some shit like that and i think somebody got killed... i don't know the details... he was sitting in his car in the parking lot... and the guys ran off... the cops arrest him for sitting in the car and accused him of doing it!!! he spent a couple months in jail before his lawyer proved his innocence...

SKILLY I don't know about America, but in England.. i'll give you a couple of news breakdowns;
A 18 year old white boy (happened to be my cousin) got killed by a mixed race boy (black and indian) he got 14 years in prison.
A black boy, I THINK he was 17 got killed by a white boy.. the white boy got life (25 years) in prison, and got his sentence doubled for it being a 'racist' attack, so 2 life sentances (50 years) in prison.
Over here life doesn't mean life, it means 25 years, and you only REALLY have to serve half of that sentence anyway, but that's just 2 examples that have always stuck in my mind. I believe both killers should have been sent away for 25 years. That's why racism pisses me off, IMO most of the time it's arguments between PEOPLE, not arguments between RACES that are the problem, and our government (here) are quick to label that as racism, ultimately causing racial issues themselves.
If a white person kills a black person over here it gets publicised like mad and their sentences are a LOT harsher than when black people kill white people.
All should get the same, a life is a life despite the race of the person. But like I said I don't know what things are like over there, but here you're DEFF. more likely to hear about a white person killing a black person than the other way round, the black on white murders are kept a lot quieter. Saying that, my cousins case was all in the media a lot but that was because it was the year in which young people were getting killed all over london so they highlighted as many cases as they could
