1. Unlike Zimmerman, Scott admitted to confronting Cervini and his friends.

2. Unlike Martin, Cervini was not alone and WAS committing a criminal act when confronted.

3. Like Zimmerman, Scott claimed that he acted in self-defense when Cervini jumped him.

4. Unlike Zimmerman, Scott was arrested for murder.

You know why there were no riots, no outrage?

Because Scott WAS arrested.
Because a grand jury DID return an indictment against him. (Though they dropped the charge from murder to manslaughter.)
And because it went to a jury.

The jury, not the police, were the ones who decided that Scott was innocent.

What if the shooter were an American Indian (played by Elvis) and the victim Norwegian?

It’s not white people that blacks have to fear today....it’s their own kind they have to fear.

Wouldn't you say its more like guys like this Zimmerman who want to be cops and try to behave as the police yet do not have the judgement or maturity to handle the responsibility of carrying a concealed weapon?

Guys like Zimmerman could easily kill you or one of your loved ones because they felt disrespected that you did not recognize their self proclaimed gun driven "authority"

And if both were black this would not even have made the 6:00 News.

So true, I will hold the media responsible for all the violence that follows this incident. I love what the media is supposed to be, but I despise what it has become. Thank goodness for the Internet. I first realized how corrupt the media was when they covered up 800. Things have only gotten worse since then.

True. I guess this proves the race mongers are racist against Latinos as well.

They the Media thinks they can’t get away with it since his last name is Zimmerman!

What if the shooter had been Filipino like Wayne Newton?

What would happen if a black man armed with a handgun confronted "suspicious persons" in his neighborhood?

NOT A DAMN THING

Too complicated. A German speaking Filipino woman? Danke Schoen.
