I'd bet that the most of the same posters criticizing Martin and sticking up for Zimmerman would be doing the total opposite had it been Martin who killed Zimmerman.

Imagine if TM was cc'ing and saw Z walking through his neighbourhood wearing a hoodie and acting suspicious. TM follows an unarmed Z, stuff happens and TM shoots Z dead. THe police show up and immediately claim it was self defense and everyone goes home except Z, who is dead. TM gets arrested 44 days later after public pressure for the law to do something more than just decide it was self defense. TM walks free a couple of weeks later.
I wonder if people would still feel the same as they do now.
