Trayvon Martin Debate - Yonkers, NY

This shooting, regardless of the reason, should result in immediate arrest and trial. It's shocking and appalling that in 2012 people can actually get away with murder. Also politicians have been getting away with spending tax payer's money for too long.

The media is hyping this case .The true path to justice is that of presumed innocence and letting justice determine what happened. We cannot let mob rule pose as justice ,if zimmerman is guilty let him pay but the mediatic lynch mob cannot have it's way

You're absolutely correct. We cannot let mob rule pose as justice. However, when a vigilante shoots an unarmed person that's cause for concern. In a case like that the vigilante should at least be arrested and tried for the crime. Yes it's possible he may be innocent due to self defense. Unless the person is arrested (as he now is) there is no justice until facts and a trial determine innocence or guilt.

Why would he shoot an unarmed kid who just went to the store?

You are making assumptions as to what happened .Why not wait for the courts to determine what happened ,unfortunately the mass media have already appointed themselves judge ,jury and executioner although neither the shooter nor the victim are exactly like the media is trying to portray them with the deceased being painted as an angel and the shooter as a devil and the truth is this case has a lot more grey than black and white !
