Wasn't a race thing.  Zimmerman was a volunteer for minority based charities.  Don't fall for the NBCBSMBCLIKEMYSONARPTON race baiting.

like i said, i don't care about the trial, though it sucks for his parents and family. i'm just glad i don't live in a state where that sort of thing is okay. hell, i'm glad i live on a continent where gun-crime isn't really even a thing you have to worry about. but yes, an eye-opener. florida's legal system is... interesting.
Honestly, he should have never been charged.  Z's still fucked.  Someone will off him.

Of course it's a race thing. What if the tables had turned and it was a stand-up, middle class black man that was trailing a troubled white teenager, got his ass kicked, pulled out a gun, and shot him? He would get life in prison. Why? Because he's black so he's inherently violent. Zimmerman saw a black kid, assumed he was a perp, and trailed him. Would he have done the same to a white kid? No.

Isn't Zimmerman hispanic? Why is this constantly a black vs white issue in the media?

Because he has a German surname.

True, I would speculate the media makes more money when its a race thing. Its unfortunate. Good thing media != courts.

So Zimmerman gets let off for stalking a kid and then killing him but this woman gets 20 years for firing warning shots.

A Florida woman who fired warning shots against her allegedly abusive husband has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Marissa Alexander of Jacksonville had said the state's "Stand Your Ground" law should apply to her because she was defending herself against her allegedly abusive husband when she fired warning shots inside her home in August 2010. She told police it was to escape a brutal beating by her husband, against whom she had already taken out a protective order.

Zimmerman wasn't white.
This is why it went racial.

When you live in FL, south means Cuba.  North means every other state.
