48. The thing about it is this

you can take racism completely out of the picture and it is STILL the cold blooded murder of a kid walking home from a gas station.

I purposely take the race out of the equation and focus on what we cannot argue about; Zimmerman aimed a handgun at a child and pulled the trigger. Those are FACTS and ultimately will be what ends up putting him behind bars imo.

People can go on and on about RACE...but that won't change ANY facts in the case - a murdered boy, a cover up. THOSE are the factors in the case a jury is going to listen to imo.
