re: "if [Zimmerman] is guilty of what they say, he should be punished appropriately."

Out of curiosity, have any of you heard anything explaining why the kid was walking around in a gated community?

I haven't.

Remember, Zimmerman claimed his neighborhood had been suffering from burglaries. And that the boy was acting strangely. That's what led Zimmerman to call the police and follow the kid in the first place.

So. Was he right about the kid being up to no good? I haven't heard. And if no one is looking into that, that's a huge failing by a press that seems way too eager to turn this incident into a race thing. (Zimmerman is hispanic. But the first news reports decried what a 'white' man had done to a poor black boy.)

The likelihood that a would-be burglar attacked Zimmerman after being confronted seems much more likely to me than that a typical 17-year-old would.

Civil disobedience is a frequent characteristic of successful protests.

...and jail time is a frequent characteristic of civil disobedience.

Ya simply cannot take over public property and destroy it to get your way, no matter how much attention it gets ya. Civil disobedience is when ya don't pay your taxes, not when ya destroy property. Suppoze I decided to burn down the Falcon stadium to protest a bad call by referee's? The difference in killing the grass in a public park and burning down a stadium is only in degree.

Sometimes it's the only thing that grabs the public's attention.

...freedom of speech guarantees you the right to say what you want. It does not guarantee you an audience.

And now a brief word about that zimmerman guy in florida who allegedly shot the "unarmed teenager".  

...this should be investigate thoroughly and if he is guilty of what they say, he should be punished appropriately. On the other side of the coin, the more I hear from Al Sharpton and the protesters who are being bussed in from all over the country (at who's expense I might ask) the less I give a crap. The mere presence of certain individuals at a protest totally destroys it's credibility.
