"Special Interest Groups" are fancy names for people with special agendas. Part of those agendas is making money so the group can grow and the leaders can get rich. That's where Jesse Jackson and Sharpton are at and why they are so quick to stir the pot.
Kid on kid issues is a 50/50 society/crappy parenting issue. Parents in modern society are so worried about how society views them that they are quick to throw anyone under the bus to save face. example: talk to a school teacher about the numebr fo confrontation parents charge into their schools demanding their children are innocent or not recieving their just dues. On the other hand, society is quick to name a parent as bad because fo their circumstances.
The Martin case. From what I have seen, a man followed a kid through his neighborhood while acting as a neighborhood watch captain (that's what they do). The man called 911 for assistance (that's what neighborhood watch captain's do). Reports from Zimmerman's father states George has cuts on his head and a broken nose resulting from an attack by Martin. There has been zero reports that Zimmerman ever physically touched Martin to cause Martin to act in a manner known by any court as self defense. Police have investigated and took Zimmerman into custody. Zimmerman was released. Now if anyone has information that contradicts any of this, please pm it to me.
If a person knocked me down, punched me in the face and I was armed. By the Pennsylvania Castle Doctrine, I could use lethal force to defend myself from bodily harm(because I can not retreat). Obviously, if I am knocked on the ground, I can not retreat. If someone beats me on the face (especially to the point of drawing blood and a broken nose), I have every right to think my life could be in danger. Unless someone proves this was not the case, I fully support Zimmerman's actions and would have done the same in his position.
