So sad. So many posters I used to respect in this thread just not using both halves of their brain for this case.
And to people flipping the script, YES, I would feel 100% exactly the same way.
Let's add a couple more details:
- Trayvon is a well respected member of the community and has gained enough trust from the entire community to lead the neighborhood watch.
- Zimmerman dressed like a thug, was high on drugs and was skulking around houses.
And then the exact same thing occured. Trayvon was overzealous and tried to find Zimmerman's location after calling 911. Zimmerman punched Trayvon in the face, Trayvon tries to disengage but cannot because he's pinned to the ground. Then he shoots in self defence. Unfortunately the single shot goes through Zimmerman's heart.
Then yes, I would absolutely agree with the acquittal of Trayvon.
Frick guys. We're in Canada. The vast majority of posters have been brought up here in a tolerant, progressive society. It's insulting to accuse us of being racists that are incapable of looking at evidence. Frankly, it says a lot about your own character when you make these remarks.
You know, since we're going on hypothetiUcals here. What evidence would you (trayvon supporters) need to have in order for you to change your mind about this case? Or was he guilty 100% from the start regardless?

I, for the record, think both are at fault, I'm not a trayvon fanboy by any means. I have an issue with your hypothetical in which you stated Zimmerman was dressed as a thug in a role reversal scenario. If you're suggesting that trayvon was dressed as a "thug" that night then you're wrong. I saw the crime scene photo of his dead body and he was wearing a tight, preppy flannel hoody and skinny khakis with the cuffs rolled up. His shoes looked like Ralph Lauren boating shoes that he was wearing without socks. Maybe the definition of what is gangsta dress has changed but from that pic he doesn't look threatening at all.
