General Discussion

And several posters stated that the bottom pic was an actual crime that "did take place" and was gang related. I can't find the post or remember the name of the white kid that was killed, but only that apparently this white kid was killed by a small gang of kids - that consisted of both white and black kids. My point of my post, which was obviously not made, was that if this pic on the bottom was of an actual crime that was "gang related" it would be like comparing apple to oranges. In the case of Zimmerman this was a situation where there was, as far as anyone knows, where neither the killer nor the victim had any apparent motive, other than "race". In the other case, which now apparently as it turns out is not what is depicted in this picture, had a motive of several kids that had been already involved in several altercations at school. That was what I was referring to by the circumstances were different. I was actually trying to make the case that the initial investigation into the Martin murder was worse because it was so obvious that the case couldn't have been about anything else other than race.
