walking while black - Trayvon Martin

[LytoMe]

Disciple:
But, dear LC, he MURDERED a black kid.

well as you know, that will be determined by due process. right now it's homicide, not murder.

my point was you characterize him as a bigot based on a 2005 myspace, when in fact he had black friends.

We know that he shot and killed an unarmed black kid who had every right to be where he was.

What aren't you getting?

YOU STATE "we know" Martin had every right to be in the neighborhood. What are the FACTS that indicate this? All I have heard is his father was "staying" with a girlfriend. NOT LIVING. If I am wrong, what are the facts of him staying in this house?

Also I am still on the fence about the allegations of the prior robberies. Did Martin know this other black kid who was involved in the robberies? They were the same age!

And I do think that is Zimmerman's posts/comments are being brought to the courts attention, then Martins can be brought in as well. Careful what you wish for...because there might be things the parents were not aware he was doing.

I am not saying what Zimmerman did was right by all means, I just think that the claims of him being racist, etc. are unproven and away from the facts of the HOMICIDE.

****The terms murder and homicide are frequently interchanged; however, there is a difference between the two. Homicide is the killing of one person by another. Murder is a form of criminal homicide, where the perpetrator intended to kill the other person, sometimes with premeditation (a plan to kill). Manslaughter is another type of criminal homicide.****
