Also, , his father (with whom he was staying with) also lived in that gated community so he had EVERY RIGHT to be there.
You say there are real hate crimes out there? Gunning someone down in cold blood for no other reason than they look suspicious IMO is a hateful action but I am not the court. If Zimmerman wanted to play hero, all he simply had to do was stay inside and let the cops do their job and we really wouldn't have to have this convo right now.

So true. Not to mention, this wasnt in the middle of the night. I've been reading all of these posts with PM Mama admonishing people to wait for the facts, but this post sure got me. How does she know it wasn't racially motivated any more than others think it was? Wait for the facts to come in. Thankfully he has been arrested and the system will now be allowed to play out.
