Bolded part, while I agree is unfair, is it any different then those demonizing Zimmerman? We don't know what happened, we don't know what either side was thinking, and we don't know their true characters. Calling Zimmerman a racist vigilante or idiot wannabe cop much different than trying to paint Martin as a thug? It just shows the bias of the person, nothing else.
Here's a Charles Barkley, of all people, interview. He makes some assumptions but I think he hits the nail on the head about media and racism about this case.
