    What if they're both fucking scum bags? What if both of them fucked up? What if it was a "perfect" convergence of unfortunate circumstance? Who's to blame then, huh? Sometimes there's no black and white answer. In fact, most times there's no black and white answer. Why does every thing have to come down to "your side" and "my side?" - neither side ever has all the information or relative perspective. Step back, calm the fuck down, and admit you might not know every thing.

    The video is useless either way. Simply too poor quality to show wounds or the absence of wounds.

    Same with the supposed whispered words on the 911 tape. Could be saying anything, or nothing, and no way to prove who said what.

    So far with what little actual evidence and statements made available I'd say there's zero indication that race had anything at all to do with this. And so far, Zimmerman's story seems to not only hold up well with the few facts reported, it seems far more plausible than any other theories.

    BTW, race card players, "Hoodies" were first made popular by the Unibomber, who was as white. It's always cracked me up that black criminals (unknowingly?) adopted his look as their own, but then criminals usually aren't very bright.

    You also need to factor in that it was a gated community, so people on community watch patrol have a general idea of who lives and who doesn't live in the neighborhood. Also, there had been a string of recent break-ins.

    Also need to factor in that he was black in a primarily white neighborhood and had skittles in his hand. He should have been capped on the spot, ask questions later.

    It wasn't "primarily white", it was 49% white, 20% black from what I read.

    People with hoodies are generally rapists.

    Will Bobby Rush and the rest of the CBC have hearing on these crimes?
