Default It sounds like Zimmerman and the Martins will get their days in court.

The parallel I was making was that he was judged and targeted by Zimmerman for how he was dressed just as Brian had been and he, too, paid for the way he looked.

As for Martin's twitters, what he got caught in school with in his backpack, had nothing to do with that night. He had Skittles, tea, and a cell phone then. That won't get anyone a suspension and sure shouldn't get anyone killed. Zimmerman didn't know a thing about his twitters, suspensions, or anything else. He simply called in someone he "thought" was suspicious, "though" was young, "thought" was male, "thought" was maybe black, and was wearing a hoodie.

If Zimmerman had simply done what he was supposed to do which was 1) call in, 2) report what was going on, the location and direction of travel, and then 3) leave the rest to the authorities, this wouldn't even be a discussion.
Just from watching the news last night and based on a gut feeling, it sounds like Zimmerman will be arrested soon. George Zimmerman seeks donations on his new website - CBS News
