My objection and probem is with the political interference that has been involved in this case from the beginning and has muddied it totally. Let the police do their job.

Here is a line I have never typed before; I agree with both Bucco and Buggy! I have previously avoided the Zimmerman threads because a. I didn't know enough about the case and b. because it was a politically charged issue. The problem I had with the entire situation was that the right believed that the shooting was totally justifiable, and the left believed it was murder and neither side intellectually examined any evidence that might be contrary to their belief. I am sick of people lining up on issues because it lines up with their ideology, rather than looking at the issue reasonably and without prejudice.
Sorry if it looks like I am highjacking the thread, just wanted to make the point that this divisive and unyieldingly partisan way of looking at every issue is bringing this country down.
