re: #35 Charles Johnson

Zimmerman was the aggressor in this, and he shot and killed a young boy. There’s nothing wrong with looking into his background. It’s relevant. It goes toward establishing his motivations.

But smearing the victim is just wrong. He wasn’t killed for any of these reasons.

We don;t have all the facts yet so I’m not going to pass judgement on who the victim of aggressor was but that’s not what the press is interested in. The reality of the case is probably fairly mundane. They’re hyping the story, creating drama and stoking racial tensions because that’s what the masses want. It makes them money.
