Tell that to the New Black Panthers.Normal people know that.I was commenting on what Zim might be wishing.

He should have stayed in his car - called 911 - and observed only.
That is the correct protocol.
Taking the law into your own hands is not.
The individual at the center of the controversial Trayvon Martin shooting is a registered Democrat.
freebeacon.com...
George Michael Zimmerman, born Oct. 5, 1983, registered as a Democrat in Seminole County, Fla., in August 2002, according to state voter registration documents.
It is unclear whether he voted for President Barack Obama in 2008.
Some in the media have sought to blame Republican politicians and conservative activists for Martin’s death.
“[Republican politicians] reinforce and validate old stereotypes that associate the poor and welfare as criminal behavior with African-Americans and people of color, calling us lazy, undeserving recipients of public assistance. In the case of Trayvon, those festering stereotypes had lethal consequences,” said MSNBC political analyst and Democratic fundraiser Karen Finney.
According to the document, Zimmerman’s race is officially listed as Hispanic. The son of a white father and Peruvian mother, he has been described as a “white Hispanic” in most media reports.

He only gets involved with these things when a black "brutha" is involved.

Obama weighed in as a parent.
He's been criticized prior to not weighing in on other incidents that involved blacks.

How is this not a "neutral" statement? This is what he actually said.
“When I think about this boy, I think about my own kids,” Obama said. “And I think every parent in America should be able to understand why it is absolutely imperative that we investigate every aspect of this and that everybody pulls together, federal, state and local to figure out exactly how this tragedy happened.”
