What it says about me is that I withhold judgement until I have a fair grasp of the facts, and am not distracted by my own prejudices, because I do not have any.

By all accounts, Zimmerman instigated the events that led to the shooting.

Oh, and Guile? The racial component comes into play b/c Trayvon was doing nothing illegal or suspicious, there was no reason to suspect him of being engaged in anything illegal, and certainly no reason to stalk him....yet on the 911 he complains of him using racial slurs. To think that he was following him for no other reason other than his race would be naive.
How confident are you in your sources and understanding of what has occurred?
