Zimmerman was a want A be cop, and started following the boy for no reason other than he was walking through the neighborhood. the 911 operator even told him not to follow the boy, yet he kept following him. and the end result was a young boy's life was taken away from him, because Zimmerman couldn't help but push it.
Your right it shouldn't matter about the color of their skin but it is one of the first things that popped up as a reason why this happened.
Personally I don't think it was as cut and dry as your stated but its your opinion based on what we are told. I haven't watched any of it or listened to it. I just read the news about it so maybe I'm missing some of it. I do think that when Obama said that stupid remark about Martin would look like his son if he had one.....that things turned for the worse. It polarized the event more than it would have been otherwise. He should have stayed out of it like he should have stayed out of the cop arresting his acquaintance (or whatever he was) and having a "beer summit" to wipe away the damage he did. I say it all the time about this guy for as smart as he seems to be he sure stirs the racial pot!!
