shooting of unarmed Florida teen

Sanford, Florida (CNN) -- Outrage over the killing of an unarmed Florida teen rippled nationwide as supporters planned more protests Wednesday and a petition demanding the shooter's arrest amassed nearly 1 million signatures.

Trayvon Martin was fatally shot on February 26 while walking to the house of his father's fiancee in Sanford after a trip to a convenience store.

George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch leader, said he killed the teen in self defense.

Nearly 750,000 people have signed a petition on Change.org demanding Zimmerman's arrest, making it one of the website's largest campaigns.

Isn't this exactly what Blacks complained about in the south 50 years ago? Arresting a person without proof?

Don't even go there. They should arrest this man now. He was not in danger at all. The police told him to keep his distance and he didn't. I have no issue with someone protecting themselves but this is not the case. If he was able to call 911 to give them the heads up and keep his distance he has no excuse.

And he claims that the boy came up to him, how else would he get a bloody nose and brused face?

He was in no danger at the time he was talking to the police. The police were on the way. That really all it boils down to. He may have received a bloody nose while the young man was defending himself.

Or maybe the kid saw him and turned and charged him?

waving his candy? If that kid was in the mans house it's one thing. This isn't the case. The man is at fault here.

Without waiting for police to arrive, Crump said, Zimmerman confronted Trayvon, who was on the sidewalk near his home. By the time police got there, Trayvon was dead of a single gunshot to the chest.

"What do the police find in his pocket? Skittles," Crump said. "A can of Arizona ice tea in his jacket pocket and Skittles in his front pocket for his brother Chad."

They finally released the 911 call from one of Treyvon's neighbors, you can quite clearly here Treyvon cry and beg for his life several times, before Mr. Zimmerman silenced him with a single shot. Without a single word he shot child begging for his life.

Later I'll look to see if they have the 911 call posted up.

Innocent before proven guilty.

Do you think this would have been played up so much by the media, like Don Lemon or Tamera Hall if Treyvon was a John or Pedro?

I don't know who those people are. If the situation was the same but the names were different I would still say arrest him. He was no in danger at the time he was talking to the police. If he listened to the police and waited the boy would still be alive.

Bottom line: if this was a black shooter who shot an innocent white man, this would not make national headlines. It happens every day and the media won't cover it.

[Yankeefan2009]

Or a white woman raped by a black assailant, for that matter. You would never hear about it.

But if he was white or hispanic would you have heard about it?

That has nothing to do with anything. That young man is no different than you or I.

[ILOVEDNY]

No need to arrest him.
Just execute him the mob has spoken.
Just like those racist Duke lacrosse whiteys who were arrested.
Just like the mob wanted.
Howd that turn out?

And if Als gang says he is quilty then by God his must be.
Just remember how he caught that cop who raped Tawany Brawley.
