My country is in a mess.
I am so disgusted with the circus surrounding the shooting of Trayvon Martin. George Zimmerman went looking for someone to shoot that night. Anyone with any gun knowledge knows you don't take a gun with you unless you are intending to use it. Zimmerman was under no threat from this kid. He was told to stay in his car. Instead he left his car with the gun and stalked the kid. Zimmerman weighed in at 248 pounds and Martin weighed in at 150 and was 6'3" tall. He was a beanpole and a puff of wind could have probably blown him over. I believe he did shove Zimmerman when Zimmerman got in his face. The kid would have been scared to death. And I further believe that when he shoved Zimmerman away from him Zimmerman shot him. I fail to se how anyone can claim self defense when he stalked the kid for doing nothing but walking on the sidewalk. I don't care if the person on the sidewalk was a biker dude with tatoos all over. If all he was doing was walking on the sidewalk, he had a perfect right to do so. Zimmerman was a wannabe tough guy out to show how big he was. Instead a young man is dead and it is looking for all the world like he won't get justice. This is not about race. Pure and simple, it is about justice.
