GZ made it about race. From the way I understand the event, GZ essentially profiled Trayvon because he was a young Black male out at night walking in a hoodie.

I seriously doubt GZ would have done what he did had Trayvon been White or Hispanic.

This is the point. There wasn't enough to convict, because the details aren't clear. Therefore, he was found not guilty.
No, there was not enough to convict. I think what is making people upset about the outcome was that GZ did not have to approach Trayvon, and thus kill him.

GZ took the law into his own hands when it really was not necessary.
