my response to this all over the net has been "How many Black homicides get covered up by entire police departments? How many Black murder suspects go uncharged and un-arrested?" THATS the difference. Period. Trayvon deserves this.
For starters, homicide and murder are two different things.
Secondly, he WAS arrested the night of the shooting. That is an indisputable fact that so many ppl keep ignoring. It's like people don't want to accept the truth.
He was not charged because police believe he acted in self defense and could not legally detain him without evidence suggesting otherwise. On the contrary, they had quite a bit of evidence that he did indeed act in self defense. Neighbor witness who saw Trayvon on top of him while he was on the ground, and his back was wet from being on the grass. There was DEFINITELY a physical altercation, and Zimmerman defended himself with his legally owned firearm. The only thing we don't know is HOW the altercation started exactly.
Who threw the first punch? If it was Trayvon, then Zimmerman was within the law to use self defense. If Zimmerman threw the first punch and then shot Trayvon, THEN he would be guilty.
Unfortunately we will never know.
