Anger + Sadness = RAGE

His behavior was mistaken for guilt and he was killed-- with a bag of Skittles in his pocket.

This is why I've always maintained that there is a distinct difference between racism and prejudice. zim isn't a racist in my book, but it was his prejudice that ultimately led to the unnecessary death of Martin, a 17 year old who went to the store to get his little brother a pack of candy.

There is NO WAY that this case should not have been further investigated from the begininng-- which is why there was outrage ALL OVER THE NATION, an outrage not started or manipulated by Sharpton or Jackson, but an outrage based on the collective gut feeling of thousands of Americans that justice was not served in the Sanford Police's initial decision to not detain zim and investigate this murder.

German,

None of us know what actually happened. We are going to have to wait for the trial and hear the witnesses both testify and be cross examined.

Not particularly. I would have been fine if the police investigation would have concluded self defense. I am not an Al Sharpton groupie nor live with a victim mentality so I don't automatically think every time a non black man kills a black man that it is a racial hate crime.

Neither do I.

So you are telling me now that even with all of the questions surrounding exactly what happened that night, you would be completely fine without there even being an investigation to begin with?
