From a purely legal standpoint, Zimmerman is not guilty, but let’s be serious here, shall we?

He shot a black teenager at point-blank range in the chest, leaving him dead within minutes.

The jury acted within the letter of the law, I guess. But give me a break, he is far from an "innocent" man. I think we all know what happened here, don’t we? Seriously, don’t we?

I'll tell you what I think happened, although it doesn't matter what any of us think. I think Z saw M and followed him. He then asked what M was up to. M either mouthed off or didn't respond. Z grabbed him to try to turn him around and M attacked him. M was probably really kicking his ass. Z panicked, pulled his gun and shot. Self defense? Judging by this story yes, but he probably did initiate it.

Why did he pursue? Because M was a young black kid in a neighborhood that had recent break-ins.

Z was wrong and foolish to pursue and he is paying by having his life destroyed. At the same time M was wrong to run away/fight when Z asked him what he was up to during the pursuit. I seriously believe, and wish, that M would have said something like "I'm going to my dad's house, want to walk with me?" so this whole thing would never have happened. I am just so sick of hearing about it and being called a racist for agreeing with the jury.
