Zimmerman was a sweet (black) man (if my own children are black, which they are) who cared about his community and his neighbors greatly and ended up fearing for his life one night and made a moment's decision to save his own life.
Martin was a silly young man who might have grown out of his stupidity, but we'll never know, because he had to face the consequences for it in a very direct way.
That is what I see in the evidence available to us non-jury members and it's greatly distressing to me that black people didn't get behind the other black guy in that fight.
