That has nothing to do with the apartment complex and community getting tired of the race baiting. It's going to stoke some flames and Zimmerman was Hispanic. That's going to tick some people off.
No one is really doing much race baiting.
The facts of the tragedy are the facts. Though there are some very pressing questions, the facts are established and most of the American public is rightfully outraged on a level that transcends race.

Why not? I think anyone would in that case. No matter who attacked first.
Did the police take the gun into evidence and test for prints? If so whose prints are on the gun? If not, why not?

I wouldn't have started running. If he wasn't guilty of something, why was he running? Why didn't he say, "Hey, wut's up?" and then explain who he was visiting? Give Zimmerman some proof of the apartment number. Why is that so hard for him to do?
Who is Zimmerman to demand that? I could understand if he was on Zimmerman's property. I'm sure that the officers he called who were in route to meet him would have had no problem getting the information.
The kid recognized a man following him for no reason and even told the person he was on the phone with that he thought he was being followed. He at first walked towards Zimmerman then ran away.
If your argument is that a 17 year old kid who is being followed by a grown man (not an officer) invites his or her own death by running from their pursuer, I just have to respectfully disagree and leave it at that. I just hope that future teenage boys and girls who are followed by wackos don't feel that they have to surrender themselves to their followers.
I have to call it a night at this point.

Is Zimmerman's Dad a retired federal judge and his Mom a court clerk or interpreter?

The only real facts we have are the on the police report. The 911 interpretations are going to be whatever the listener wants them to be.
And please remember that the only time I will show anger through the written word, on this forum, is when I use exclamation points and I have not used any on this thread. I haven't been angry at any time. If I use all caps, it's because those are the important words I am focusing on. Just setting some boundaries. It's a teachable moment. lol
