Your post is garbage.
You are spreading false stereotypes, filled with bigotry.

Example? The ones I have read, many, are fine, and fairly thorough.
What does the OP's post have to do with race? Seems you're the one introducing race into it.
Race has been a keystone in most discussions about this incident. Note the number of threads concerning Black on White crime in this forum.
My point is the case is clearer if race is left out. Someone shoot an unarmed person. What should be done in terms of criminal\judicial system?

I think what you are getting at, will the people win or will the NRA/ALEC lobbyists bill creators win?
Pretty much this. Legal process should determine guilt or innocence when you kill someone. In this type of case it should not be left to local police forces to decide. And that's coming from a former cop.
In the end this will not be about the events between Trayvon or Zimmerman but about liberals shilling their anti-2nd amendment views by using the race and class warfare card.
Oh and there are large segments of "The people" who support the NRA and the "Stand your ground law" but I understand that in order to push a class and race warfare drum you need to objectify your target and turn it into a anonymous entity to be able to vilify it.
That's reasonable. I wouldn't give two cents for Zimmermans life though. The people that Spike set up can tell you about that.This. In my opinion justice is currently happening. Prior to the arrest I was in the Justice for Travon (tm) camp. Currently I feel no need to protest and my emotional investment in the case could best be described as curious.
If the evidence indicates that Trayvon Martin attacked George Zimmerman while he was walking back to his truck after learning the name of the street he was on then I hope George Zimmerman is exonerated and I will feel bad that he had to go through this ordeal.
If George Zimmerman was playing cop/vigilante and killed an innocent person, regardless of whether the shooting was the result of Zimmerman biting off more than he can chew, then I hope Zimmerman serves time proportionate to his culpability in Martin's death.

You think only black people don't like what happened, question Zimmerman's explanation and/or dislike Florida self-defense laws?

Read what I wrote. Infer nothing more.
How about...
Why was a bounty placed on Zimmerman's head?
While I agree the New Black Panther Party is an insignificant entity not to be taken seriously, why are they putting out the audio that they are?
Why did NBC doctor the police audio tape to make this incident appear purely racially motivated?
Al Sharpton - I needn't ask on that account.
Why did Spike Lee tweet that address?
Why was an African-American college law professor on c-span few days ago declaring the need to start up a new wave of non-violent protests for justice?
If you feel differently, then you should not be happy with the media coverage. You should demand the media cover your angle more. Don't take it out on me for the failure of the media.
Ask yourself this, if Zimmerman had shot a white teenager "in self defense", do you believe it would have exploded into this massive nationwide story? Would it have spawned a 500+ page thread in this forum? If Zimmerman were black and Martin were white, do you believe someone would have tweeted the address of Zimmerman's parents? Do you believe masses would be marching the streets in protest? Police audio tape doctored? Any calls for further waves of non-violent protests? If Zimmerman were black, again, no Al Sharpton, no Spike Lee - although MSNBC would likely still show a partial video shot of Zimmerman where you cannot see the color of his skin and call the incident racism against blacks.
I do not believe "only black people don't like what happened", what I do believe is the racial setup of the people involved, is the primary reason why this incident has the attention it does.
When people are angry, justice means vengeance.
When they are calm, justice means free handouts.
That's a lot of hate you exhibit there.

This is all over the internet, and the MSM. I have one question:
What does that mean?
Thank you.
p.s., Not a troll thread. I really want to know what this means to other people, especially those that are saying it. I'm not one of them. As for me, I am calling for JUSTICE!

I suspect the phrase means a lot of different things to different people, but the general point seems pretty self explanatory to me. Normally when people ask for justice for something or someone, it's because they think a wrong has been committed against that person/thing and they want to see those responsible held to account. That seems fairly easy to understand, I would think...
Was post #2 mine?
Why did Michelle Malkin repost a fake Trayvon picture?
Why did Sean Hannity say on the air Z's broken nose was confirmed when it hasen't been?
Why are the right so intent on focusing on an insignificant group and avoiding the main topic?
Why did the SPD lie about the content of the 911 tapes.
We can keep playing that game or wait until the facts come out in this case.
FAMU hazing victim as deserving of justice as Trayvon Martin
Trayvon's death stoked deafening indignation. Response to the homicide of Robert Champion, the Florida A&M drum major, has been decidedly more muted.
Three months later, no one's been charged in Champion's hazing homicide. And yet, no viral demands for arrests. No online petition. No T-shirts. No Justice for Robert! I am Robert! We are Robert!
