Zimmerman cooperated from beginning with police. He never tried to demand lawyer or say he did not want to answer anymore questions. Many people would have. He is so straight arrow law abiding type, he just felt he was right, and that he had nothing to hide. He was only charged and tried for one word subsisted for another by media. That word and it's substitution are White and Latino. No headline came out saying "Latino man shoots Black youth." Once identified as White, media and Black leader worked to make it the spectacle we have now. They continue to do so.
Zimmerman was attacked, his nose flattened and bloodied, his head bleeding. Travon Martin was thug, in his tweets, he said things only thugs say. He had four suspensions fro school leading up to his attack on Zimmerman. He was well over six feet tall, yet has people on tv calling him a child and a baby. This is about Black people wanting to be able to say things are still against them, and play the oppression angle. It is promoted by White people who wear their liberalism like a badge, and who think they are doing something noble, when in fact they are only inflaming and inciting things.
Well, yeah. If it had been two white guys or two black guys there wouldn't have been an arrest, let alone a trial. But the media spun it as a possibly racially-motivated white guy stalking an innocent black kid, confronting him and then gunning him down in cold blood. The Sanford police even did an investigation and determined there wasn't any reason to charge Zimmerman; it was only after all the pressure due to protests and the like that they filed charges.
That's something that bears repeating: The people and media pressured the police into pressing charges on a case where they found no reason to press charges during their initial investigation. THAT should make you scared. The whole trial was a circus to appease the misinformed populace who immediately jumped to conclusions about the situation before any facts came out.
