No matter what the final verdict turns out to be, I predict this situation will not end well.

It’s George Zimmerman’s fault that Trayvon Martin is dead. If Zimmerman had stayed home or in his vehicle, none of this would have happened.

What an idiotic comment. He gives away the store here while trying to be 'balanced'. This statement suggests that just staying inside is the only action that doesn't open you to criminal charges, that simply going outside brands you as somehow complicit in any crime or event that happens around you.

That recent visitor to Baltimore would not have been sucker punched if he had stayed home, so would the author suggest that he too was at fault?

Any fault (other than Trayvon's) lives with the Martins, who should have known that letting their kid try out the thug life would not turn out well.

Don’t get me wrong.

There is clearly reckless endangerment here, and maybe there is some species of criminally negligent homicide or maybe even a manslaughter. . . . . . .

IT IS NOT GEORGE ZIMMERMANS FAULT that Travon Martin is dead, it is Travon Martin and his parents fault. Who lets their 17 year old child out at 1 or 2 oclock in the morning when he is suspended for having drugs? If his parents had done even the minimum in responsible child rearing Travon would be alive and well learning how to not get in trouble and how to stay off drugs.

IT IS NOT GEORGE ZIMMERMANS FAULT that Travon Martin is dead, but a lot of blame can go to the same black community that is raising Hell about his death. The black community thinks they have to be different, they glorify Hip-Hop, they glorify black on white crime, they glorify most crime if it is against whitey.

IT IS NOT GEORGE ZIMMERMANS FAULT that Travon Martin is dead, more than anybody else it is Travon Martins fault for trying to get even with a person who was watching him to see if he was up to no good. If Martin had not found Zimmermans gun and tried to take it away He would still be alive bragging about how he beat up this “old white guy”. If Zimmerman had not had his gun with him he could indeed be dead.

Charge Martin, his parents and the Black community.

Zimmermans treatment is an outrage. He was a pleasant little guy trying to keep his community safe. He was trying to protect his neighbors, he wasn't out to hurt anybody just get them caught. We need more Zimmermans, we don't need anymore Travon Martins.

His crime is “Self defense but white.”
