Three months ago, George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch volunteer in Sanford, Fla., shot and killed Trayvon Martin.
Handcuffed, taken in and interrogated, Zimmerman told police Trayvon had been acting suspiciously that dark and rainy night, that he had followed Trayvon, been knocked down and battered on the ground, and, fearing for his life, pulled a concealed handgun and shot him.
Sanford police and prosecutors concluded that Zimmerman acted in self-defense and had not committed a provable felony. They let him go.
A racial firestorm followed. “Blacks are under attack,” railed Jesse Jackson. “Killing us is big business.” Arriving in Sanford, the reverend dialed it up. Trayvon was “shot down in cold blood by a vigilante … murdered and martyred.”
Rep. Maxine Waters’ charge of “hate crime” was echoed by radio talker Joe Madison. Rep. Hank Johnson said Trayvon had been “executed.” The Grio compared his killing to the lynching of Emmett Till in Mississippi in 1955.

Nothing should happen to him. He was well within the law to protect himself. The media and race baiters need to back off and target their own kind that actually commits the crimes they claim Zimmerman does. That young punk thug got exactly what he went looking for. If you live by the sword you die by the sword. My house was broken into by 2 black guys…imagine that, they were just lucky I was not at home.The sad reality is the majority of crimes are committed by minorities,but nothing is really done about it. A good solution is that we as law abiding citizens take back our country.God Bless America, we need all the help we can get.
What will happen if Zimmerman walks free? MOST of the Negro community will be gunned down in the street.
