George Zimmerman
You have the word of a Latino against that of the parents of a young black man who was slain. Who do you choose to believe?
And on what basis: skin color? sympathy? historical injustice? cultural affinity (sports/music/movies)?
Which man is more "entitled" to being believed?
The Latino man (Zimmerman) states that he was being pinned on the ground and being pummeled by a tall black teen-ager and that he feared for his very life. The parents say their child (Martin) was unarmed, not dangerous, and had simply gone out to buy a snack.*
* while, on his way home, crossing through a gated community
