Why is everything about race?

olstyn: A 911 operator is a telephone operator. They have no authority nor liability with the information they provide. It is irrelevant if he followed the boy/man and even taunted him. Under the law, there is no excuse for violence. Under the law, Zimmerman had every right to defend himself against violence that he felt put his life in danger with lethal force. so far the legal system has done its job and Zimmerman has not been charged.

The Ted Nugent interview on Piers Morgan was great. Over 9,000 people were killed in 2011 by guns. Over 3,000 of them were Black/African American. Why is the "Black" community only concerned about this one case? My answer is: They want publicity and they want Obama to side with them in this election year and make a precedence.

I think its terrible that ANYONE is ever killed. However, I commend those who stand up for their rights and protect themselves. If Trayvon was only 70 feet/yards from his destination, maybe he should have ran home and called the cops if he felt his life was threatened or he was being harrassed. My bet is there was a confrontation and in the end there is always a loser.

This is not true. I am a 911 dispatcher, and I can tell you right now I can most certainly be taken to court and charged if I give out improper information. I even have to give CPR instructions, literally, word-for-word by a card given to use and approved by a state doctor, along with other EMD protocol and police protocol in some instances. If not read, word-for-word, we can be sued, along with the town, and in some cases charged. We are liable for every word we say. I can tell you right now, if some numskull called me and told me there was a kid with a gun near him, or whatever the circumstances are, I'd would tell him DO NOT APPROACH HIM, get to a safe distance, and await the PROPER authority. Obviously, the person has the choice to listen or not. The first thing we do during a domestic dispute is to tell the caller to literally remove themselves as far away from the other person as possible, even if they need to wait down the street. Safety is our first priority, for all parties involved including my responders. Not sure where you got your info, but we are most certainly liable, why do you think ALL 911 calls are recorded??

P.S. I guarantee if you ever need to call 911 for a real emergency, you'll think of me as more than a freakin' telephone operator.

Someone call me a telephone operator one more time...
