Well, it would appear Zimmerman isn't as squeaky clean as some think. http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/20...police-officer

I base my opinion of Zimmerman being racist on the audible part of the 911 tape where he says to send police, then says under his breath, Fu----g coon!
When he said that, all the 'black friends' testimony go out the window.

As one article I read put it, The Stand your ground law isn't there for the loser in a fist fight to pull a gun and shoot the other person.
