This tragedy was a murder and should be treated as such. A man aggressively pursued an innocent person. Neighborhood Watch means "WATCH" --- NOT pursue, NOT stalk, NOT hunt !
I absolutely agree with " you all have thoughtful comments post"
Lock this Zimmerman up 24 hours a day he deserves no decency in his incarceration.
Im also thinking no TV, No frills. The sad part is Zimmerman cant be housed in the general
population. Skin heads would bring him to their bosom, and the Hispanic gangs the same.
My idea is place him with some Brothers, nuff said
Amen
Justice for the black American victims of Mexico's chemical warfare on the children of America involves bombing Latin America into a tamale cart economy.
Do you people feel the same way when innocent children on their front porches are gunned down on a daily basis or because it was black on black shooting it's ok. Where's the outrage?
