You're the one who assumed Zimmerman threatened Trayvon with a firearm in an open carry holster, and Trayvon acted in self defense. I'll ask again, what is your source for that 'fact', as you called it? Because that basically makes it a shut case that Zimmerman showed intent to harm Trayvon. If that's true, even I'll get out there and march with a Hoodie. What 'facts' were distorted in a bias for Zimmerman?

As I said, you cannot pick a fight with someone and when you're losing, pull out a gun and shoot them dead and claim self defense. It's not a racial issue, it's a legal one.
Why not?
