Yes, it is too bad that it happened. But it can’t be wished away. Bad decisions and mistakes were made all around and it is horrible.
I don’t want to see this tragedy compounded by a media lynching of Zimmerman.
I just wants the facts to come out and allow justice to take its course, with blindfold intact and the scales held firm and balanced—not the media and public trying to climb onto one side and force an outcome.
That scale belongs to evidence and law, not our emotions...no matter how tragic this is.

There is no evidence that Zimmerman chased Martin after the initial pursuit when Martin began to run. That's pure speculation on your part based on your prejudice because you believe Zimmerman is some kind of neighborhood vigilante.
Of course there is a difference between following and chasing. Chasing suggests running, following is more casual and Martin clearly asked why are you "following" me.
Also, Zimmerman tells the police dispatch that he doesn't know where Martin is. That's the reason he didn't want to give the officer his address.
