Re: 17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in hite suburbia?
Well, they are investigating a neighborhood watch member, who called 911, and was involved in a shooting. There were also 911 calls to OPD about the 2 being involved in a struggle from other neighbors. When officers arrived, he had a bloody nose the youth was dead.

There is a witness who at first made a sworn statement confirming the neighborhood watch members story, but has since changed her story. So maybe, just maybe none of us know what happened and should let OPD and Sanford police do their job?

Ryz, I would have to say that on Feb 26, 2012, America the melting pot was equally represented in Orlando area, with no race in particular taking the lead in crime.

Right....if a black man shot and killed an unarmed white kid we wouldn't have heard anything about that. Seriously. Plus, you assume that just because we are having this discussion here that this particular murder made headlines. Did you know about it before the incident happened. Because according to you it must be getting publicity sinc we would have never heard a peep about it if a white kid was killed. Just like the news stations are so quick to report on missing black kids but never so much as mention missing white children. Boy oh boy, I never really knew stuff happened to white people until my white friends started giving me first-hand accounts, you know, because that stuff never makes the news.

Re: 17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in hite suburbia?
And your response could have been just "there are racists of all colors but that doesn't make it right." instead you stopped prematurely and opted to post a video about black people doing something equally stupid. What was your point again? That's right, there wasn't one.
Your response is like that of a child. You catch them doing something bad and they quickly point out that someone else did the same thing. News flash, both kids are wrong. The fact that racism, funny enough, is actually color blind doesn't speak to the issue. Unless of course your only form of argument is "you think what I did is bad? Wait until you see what HE did!"

Who as a part of a Neighborhood Watch goes around with a SIDEARM?? A neighborhood watch is just that, you call in shit that looks suspicious. Like if you see someone who doesn't look like you neighbor trying to enter his house through the basement window.
You don't go approach that person with a 9mm drawn and have a 'conversation'.
Mr. Zimmerman is at fault for at least exercising idiotic judgment and should have been charged with some form of manslaughter, voluntary or involuntary.
I'll tell you this, that White guy shot that Black teenager for no other reason than he was SCARED of his skin color.
There have been no reports that Mr. Zimmerman was assaulted by this kid, and why didn't he just draw his firearm overhead and fire off a couple rounds??? IMO that kid would have done what a million other teenagers would have; he would have turned his ass around, if he wasn't too afraid to move, and walked his ass back in the opposite direction.
The officers told Mr. Zimmerman NOT TO APPROACH the 'suspicious' individual, yet for some reason he felt obligated to do so.
IMO this is the case of a wannabe cop/neighborhood vigilante he should be allowed to cool down in a jail cell for about 10 years for being stupid.

Re: 17yr old black kid shot and killed for walking in hite suburbia?
I find it curious & a bit disturbing that whenever any kind of story resembling this one happens, the discussion devolves into a bunch of bullshit over what race has the higher percentage of racist assholes. Who gives a flyin' fuck? It's a total waste of time & effort for everybody, whether you're adding to the ad hominem sidetrack, or having to sift through all the irrelevant stupid (3 pages in 9 hours for this one so far) just to find out what happened. Just sayin'...
As for the case:
It would appear there was a fight, although even that seems to be in dispute. Unless it's a preplanned sporting event or some such, all violence starts with an assault. Now the question is who was the assailant. All the law agencies seem to be staying tight lipped, except for the repudiation of the "eye witness" who's talking to the media. There's a time lag going on, but this case has been taken over by the State. I find that real interesting, & a reason to keep on top of this.
Regardless of what happens at any official level, or who says what, there's one fact that sticks out. Zimmerman's a fucking moron & probably shouldn't be armed.
