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.
