For those wondering how this would play out if the roles (races) were reversed, well, this is damn close:
Quote:
Roderick Scott, an African American man, shot and killed Christopher Cervini, a 17-year-old white youth, in 2009.
Scott faced a charge of first-degree manslaughter, and claimed he shot the teen in self defense.
Scott was subsequently acquitted.
All this happened in New York State, which, even back then, had much tougher gun and self defense laws than the state of Florida has.

Roderick Scott case
No national media attention to that one. Obama didn't say anything. Nada, nyet, nothin'.
