Anyone can take any piece of the bits of news we get and turn it into something it's not.

I agree that it's incredibly stupid that Zimmerman is the most hated man in America right now. When there are tons of others being murdered every day, that nobody ever gives a damn about.

Where is Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton with all of the black on black crime going on these days? It's so ridiculous. But no, everything has to be so politically correct all the time. If they want to bring race into it, then bottom line is: if this had been a white teenager walking around with a hood on and skittles and iced tea, and an older black man shot and killed him, we would most likely not be discussing the issue right now, the President never would have made a comment about it, and it wouldn't be the front page news story of every magazine.

Bottom line is that a young man's life was taken too soon; I don't think anyone is justifying his death. But I think to crucify a man, when we don't even have all of the facts yet is ludicrous. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty?
