I dont care if the lad had been green and the killer purple and fail to see what colour has to do with anything. An innocent kid was gunned down for no special reason. Our dumbass former daughte in law is taking our granddaughters down to Florida and we really dont want to see them living in that shithole.

I hope they're not moving to a bad or even marginal neighborhood Rob. I suspect most of the state is fine.

Pete I would not even consider raising children in this country, much less girl children. They are being taken away from all their friends and excellent schools for what? If it is not some whack job with guns it is some child molester.

Respectfully, I find this to be a little paranoid.

Zeke they are quite happy in Canada, have all their childhood friends around them. In ecellent schools that make the one here look lame. All sorts of cultural events within a 15 minute drive.

Within a half hour drive here there is at least one shooting a day. Far more often than I care to read about some child disappears only to be found lifeless and molested in a field. Am I supposed to think that this is normal?

I like how the defense tried to use Martins marijuana use against him. As if a stoned pothead is prone to violence.............

Morons.

From my own point of view, I don't really see it being about race so much as it is about guns, vigilantism and goofball machismo.

I see race as a possible component, but not the whole picture.

Personally, I believe the supporters of Zimmerman are worried about the impact this decision could have on CCW and SYG. They may not care about the individuals involved in this case, but they know the greater issue is CCW and vigilante justice.....Not so much about race.
