People are so pressed to paint Zimmerman as some evil man that common sense is thrown out the window. Just because Zimmerman got out of the car doesn't mean he killed Trayvon in cold blood. It doesn't mean he attacked first (the act of getting out of a car and questioning Trayvon is NOT an attack). It doesnt mean he didnt shoot because he was in fear for his life. Should he be charged with a crime? Depends on your point of view but no way should he have been charged with more than manslaughter. The higher charge is a mistake and will set Zimmerman free.


I can't believe this is serious...
Are you fucking serious?  If you're afraid for your life, you don't get out of the damn car, especially when the cops tell you not to.  That's common sense.  I don't know why you can't admit that he made a decision to kill this kid.  He got out of his car with a gun, attacked him and shot him.  Throw race out of the equation.  If a white guy did this to another white guy, it would still be just as horribly disgustingly wrong.  And there would be no hesitation for the cops to arrest that murderer.
