umm...crap....my cover is blown. I was trying to win the hearts and minds of the jury pool by posting on this little site.

Your version of the events is skewed at best.

So would you care if a Hispanic guy shot a black guy if the black guy was a legal adult? I don't see endless threads on message boards about he 600 killed in Chicago last year.

Would I care? yes. Would it create endless threads? probably not. But like I said, this situation is unique. You're just making my point for me.

The false outrage is funny to watch. Outrage manufactured by the media for the sheep. Last year a bunch of black kids lit a little white kid on fire for fun down the road from me. Crickets.

Who are you referring to that's outraged? Certainly not me.

I find it newsworthy and interesting given my occupation. Stand your ground is a controversial law, and its appearance in this case just adds to the intrigue.

OK, it's a double standard. I agree. So what's the resolution? Report all of it right? Certainly the black man isn't going to posit that no stories about black people dying should be reported...

Well,

1) you apparently heard about it from the media; and

2) you're telling me an accidental death of a child by a gun where apparently no one was charged with murder didn't make the national mainstream media? No wai!

This is media sensationalism and you're one of the ones buying it.

The sad thing is how divisive this story is.

George Zimmerman's Brother Says Twitter Rant a Mistake

By Barbara Liston

ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - The brother of George Zimmerman, the man charged in the 2012 shooting death of unarmed black Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, said on Wednesday he was wrong to tweet a series of racially charged comments about his brother's case.

"I made a mistake," Robert Zimmerman Jr. said during an appearance on CNN's Piers Morgan Live. "It unfortunately may not have helped George."

George Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder for killing Martin, who was 17, after an altercation in a residential neighborhood in Sanford, Florida.

Prosecutors contend George Zimmerman, then a neighborhood watch captain, racially profiled Martin, then pursued and shot him while Martin was returning from a convenience store to a townhouse where he was staying with his father.

Robert Zimmerman this week posted side-by-side photos of Martin and one of two teenagers arrested last week in a fatal shooting of a 13-month-old boy as his mother was pushing his stroller down the street in a coastal Georgia town.

The separate photos showed Martin and the teenager posing while making an obscene gesture.

Robert Zimmerman wrote in a tweet, "a picture is worth a thousand words ... any questions?" In another tweet, he said, "Lib media shld ask if what these2 black teens did 2 a woman&baby is the reason ppl think blacks mightB risky."

Morgan, in his interview with Zimmerman, called the tweets "incendiary" and "bordering on outright racism."

"I understand this was controversial and I apologize," Robert Zimmerman said.

Mark O'Mara, George Zimmerman's lawyer, has criticized Robert Zimmerman's tweets.

George Zimmerman's trial is set to start in June.
