Correct. Because in all three of those scenarios it is remotely possible, but highly unlikely that race would be a motivating factor.

Not too many people shoot each other because they hate their own kind.

That is where the assumption, as incorrect as it may be at times, arises from.

I think we're in agreement. I've said it before but until further facts become clear I'm out :-)

Ya see Pete, I am willing to bet that had the kid had been white and was dressed as a skater he would still be alive.

I don't think Zimmerman hates all blacks and was out to "get one." I think Travon simply fit Zimmerman's mental image of a hoodlum so he stalked him and things went wrong.

Oh, and yeah. If I was backing Zimmerman I'd stay out of this thread as best I could also because there is not much to say.

"A Florida entrepreneur said he had sold out of gun range targets depicting a faceless, hood-clad figure holding an iced tea and a bag of Skittles meant to look like Trayvon Martin."

A bunch of sick bitches in FL I'd say.
