Trayvon Martin is a thug. He attacked Zimmerman and was shot for it. Should have just gone home. Zimmerman was not the crusader the media portrayed him to be at all.

We can all rest easy knowing there is one less criminal on earth.

It is kinda hard to feel sorry for what sounds like a street thug.

I also have a hard time finding something good to say about Martin.  From what the trial is showing, he wasn't an angel.  Then again, neither was Zimmerman.  There wasn't a good guy and bad guy.  Personality isn't on trial, though.  The only thing that should matter is whether or not a crime was committed.

This is what i'm starting to think. I'm starting to think that both Trayvon and George reacted to their situations poorly. They both were victims of this racial cycle here on earth that will keep us from coming together.

 

George saw a black kid walking home and thought he was going to rob a house or something. Why? because of racial stereotypes. Trayvon was walking home and seen a white security guard following him and probably thought " why is this guy consistently following me? Is it because i'm black? Is he going to try to kill me?". Why? because of stereotypes.

 

They finally confront each other and they both overreacted and now we are here.

 

Do i think Zimmerman intentionally wanted to kill Trayvon? Probably not

 

Do i think he followed him because he was black? Probably so
