it's a hate crime when they do it to another minority, but when it happens to a white person, it's just another murder....

I would just think a case like this would be more important to speak about.
He could use it to talk about easing racial tensions instead of trying to make a case into a racial issue.

this was not a NATIONAL story due to an attacker REMAINING FREE. THat is the sore point of the Trayvon story that has the potential to divide the country and makes it important for the President to speak to.

again, the attacker was ARRESTED and CHARGED with a hate crime. THat is the system working as it should ,,,,,not much to be outraged about other than the crime itself which cant be undone and is one amongst tens of thousands every year.

But In the Martin case Zimmerman was taken in and questioned. With the evidence presented to the police they legally couldn't hold him.
Now if other evidence comes out from the ONGOING investigation that calls for Zimmerman to be arrested I'm sure he will be.
What do you want the police to arrest him for nothing. Then what happens if it's found he should never ha e been arrested?

Obama jumped on the Jesse and Al, MSM bandwagon that's making this a racial issue.
And with Al calling for violence if nothing is done is not helping the case at all.

this is not true, there was a REQUEST for a warrant for his arrest, that must mean there was SOMETHING there...

it was a prosecutor and police CHIEF who made the call not to do it, and under the suspicious environment that the 'victims' dad is a RETIRED JUDGE


I dont know if Al called for violence, and I dont think pointing out the ability to relate to someones situation is 'making' it a racial issue

it IS a racial issue if thats all it takes is for race to be involved in it,,,because it was

Your speculating about things. Not all warrants are granted.
If the prosecuter showed preferential treatment I'm sure it will come out in the investigation.
You need to google some of the thing Sharpton has said.

thats what the parents deserve and people are pressuring to happen,,,


for it to COME OUT in an investigation and for the case to be tried in a court,,,,where 'facts' are more highely scrutinized,,,

It won't divide the country if Zimmerman is not found guilty but it will give some a reason to go out and like animals.
