Probably comes as no surprise, but I think what Zimmerman did is much, much worse than being inattentive or stupid.  It is racial profiling at its very worst, and proof of what the opponents of Stand Your Ground laws have been warning against, all along.    "An outrage" doesn't even begin to describe how horrible this latest episode of Have Gun/Will Travel is.   Especially since the shooter has already gotten away with so much, and may get away with all of it.   But, I do not agree that emotional anguish prevents Martin's supporters from being able to rationally analyze the situation. 

Honestly, Teilhard, must you continue calling Zimmerman that? He is after all a human being with a name. Even though he did something terrible, can't we at least use his name instead of an insult term?

I'm describing his ACTIONS ...

Oh, riiiiggghhht! That's a feeble excuse for using an insulting name for someone if I ever heard one.

As feeble as if I were to claim that referring to you as Ridiculous Misuse of Capital Letters Guy merely describes your actions.

So what did we have?  We had an NBC 911 audio that made it look like Zimmerman was profiling Trayvon Martin.  It turns out that wasn't true.  Then we had an ABC video which showed that Zimmerman wasn't injured.  Now all of a sudden we've been told that NBC doctored the audio on the 911 tape and ABC found a new layer when they enhanced their video.  News reports say that paramedics treated Zimmerman at the scene, but ABC says in the first report he wasn't injured.  So did the paramedics lie?  It's all breaking down.  The Trayvon Martin story is falling apart.
