Why is everyone so afraid to call Zimmerman a racist here? I mean he called Trayvon a "fucking coon" on his 911 call. Isn't that enough for you??

I know you want so badly for Trayvon to be the thug that attacked but 1. You have a witness that said he SAW Zimmerman on top of Trayvon and Trayvon yelling for help. 2. You have Zimmerman calling Trayvon a racial slur on the phone. 3. You have Zimmerman chasing down someone with a gun for no apparent reason. According to Trayvon family he was there (in the community) with his father right? So that throws out him having no reason to be there. If Trayvon was running from him (like Zimmerman said himself in the 911 tape) then how do you all figure for some reason he decided to come back and beat up the person following him??

Come on now...I know you all are so afraid for someone who is not black to turn out to be racist but seriously...this is pretty obvious racism on Zimmerman part.

I am a gun owner myself and I am cool with the stand your ground law and the castle doctrine and whatever else that allows us to protect ourselves....but I wear hoodies, and am black, and I think this sucks that someone like this is giving gun owners (and carriers) a bad name. I see all the time on gun websites people laying out this same type of scenario. This is the reason I don't visit most gun sites anymore. The scenario is always like this:

"Ok guys...If I am out walking and see some thug guy approaching me and looks threatening, like he wants to rob me...is it ok for me to pull my gun? Is this the right time to take off the safety??"

And me seeing these types of threads is what makes me nervous. It is almost like certain people can't wait to be in a scenario where they can shoot a "thug". I think Zimmerman was one of them.

I have known a few "thugs" or "gangsters" that did not dress like people thinks thugs and gansters dress, so judging people by clothing is pretty stupid and dangerous. I think people like that should not be able to own guns if you don't have enough common sense to know that...because that is proof that someone has poor judgement and someone with poor judgement really shouldn't be walking around with a firearm.
