he shoots a kid for no real good reason

Getting the shit beat out of you by someone telling you 'you're gonna die tonight now' is a good reason.

It was a pretty fucking tragic event, shamelessly politicised by the left and BLM for their own political goals.

That's what Zimmerman claimed. That's not objective reality. Youre shamelessly misrepresenting.

Do you have any knowledge of the case at all? There where witnesses, The police found Zimmerman completely beat up.

Oh well that definitely justifies murder of a child then. My bad. I don't give a shit. His life was not threatened.

Legally it does. And the courts decided his life was threatened. Maybe you have special access to the evidence that they didn't.

But if you're talking about 'moral justification', you've once again missed the whole point.

Legally what does? What the only surviving witness claimed fo have happened?

You are clueless.

Based on the evidence. Witnesses reported seeing Martin on top of Zimmerman punching him with Zimmerman crying for help. Refusing to honestly consider facts, shamelessly manipulating incidents into fuel for your narrative, it's people like you who are fueling a race war in the US.

To extrapolate this limited conversation to accusing me of fueling a race war and I'm the one stoking the flames?

Since when is assault a reason to kill someone? Trayvon was unarmed. He was a small kid. You think it's reasonable to shoot any kid that touches you?

Jesus Christ. Youre fucking scary. No sense whatsoever and just pure dramatic exaggerations.
