Subject: RE: BS: Killed for being black? Florida today
Ah, Bluesman's answer to whether it was wrong intentionally to shoot a blameless black youth to death is to cite an article in a known-to-be right wing newspaper from an authoritarian with a track record for views on race and to show us black youths in another place at a different time shooting a child grossly negligently (technically with transferred malice) but not intentionally targeting her.

Just how "Bluesman" does either of those things justify the intentional killing of Trayvon Martin?

I'll also take you up on another point - the only way that Zimmerman got off the last set of charges against him in the USA was by agreeing to undergo certain training: that involves an admission of guilt if not a finding of guilt. "Zimmerman entered a six-month pre-trial diversion program diversion program as part of a plea deal in that case, court documents show".

Another interesting factlet - Zimmerman's father is a retired judge.
