Do you think this is justified?
No, this is not justified. Zimmerman, had no right to chase the boy while he was walking away from him.
The 911 operator clearly tells him not to go after him, yet Zimmerman ignores the operator.
Zimmerman had no right to claim self-defense, And Florida's Self-defense laws should be changed.
How big of a role does race play?
I think race plays a huge role in this case, Zimmerman says multiple racial slurs in his 911 call.
In another case, a white male shot and killed a person, and got away. He claimed self-defense and got his case dismissed. A very similar case in which a black male shoot and killed a white male, the black male couldn't claim self-defense even though the white man was chocking him.
Florida obviously has a court, and police department filled with racists.
This is obviously a court, and a police department filled with racists.
Could this happen to me or you?
The chances are very low, but yes it could happen to me.
