Just had someone post on facebook that they would unfriend anyone over this case that didn't agree with them.
I'm the public. I don't have the evidence, the testimonies - nothing. Why's this case being used to race bait and divide? Why's it being tried in the court of public opinion?
Why - WHY - is it so darn political?
Why are people - everyday people - trying to use it as a wedge to manipulate their OWN friendships with?
WTH?

Same reason the MSM, the obama admin, lawyers,
al sharpton, the naacp, all want to use this tragic
event to bolster there careers.. Treyvons family lawyer
sees the $$$$$$$ signs now too
They would like to start race riots and race wars
and the media attack machine is fueling the fire
along with mr. O playing magician slight of hand
*look over here while we do something over there*.
Now people have this hang whitey mentality
because they are making this out to be some
social injustice against a black person..
it is all a dog and pony show..

So what if he tried to detain the Trayvon Martin? Does it mean the kid can just beat the crap out of him? The picture is unclear of what Mr Martin actually is....is he a nice kid or does he look like a gangster? Why couldn't Martin just wait for the police to arrive?

"Brrrrian!" he would call out, rolling his r's as is done in Spanish, whenever 16-year-old Brian Paz got a phone call from his Colombian mother, the friend recalled.
"I'd just burst out laughing," Paz said.
