An investigation happened, no charges were filed. Politicians and black groups started getting uppity, then charges were filed. That was the real order of events.

You implied that that it would be an open and shut murder conviction if the black guy lived.

That's how it works. It wasnt media pressure. The media was focused on the racial aspect of the case, Zimmerman was charged with 2nd degree murder, he was not charged with a racially motivated hate crime. I don't understand why people are confusing the media's interpretation of the case with the actual facts and due process. Just because he was innocent doesn't mean he didn't do anything wrong or not worth investigating.
As I have said multiple times, I read the daily run downs I found online. At no point was Zimmerman's self defense plea challenged with evidence. The only challenges to that defense were presented with conjecture and what ifs.

Killing someone is NOT enough to charge someone with a crime, especially when the shooter claims self defense.

I agree with you that Zimmerman profiled, I have no issues with profiling as long as its done correctly though. I also agree with you that the police nor Zimmerman took the race of anyone involved into consideration when they made their decisions. Race only became an issue in the media after the race profiteers got involved.

I agree completely with you here. The race pimps made it a media spectacle. Obama made it a media spectacle with his comments. It should say a lot when charges were only filed after the media got involved.
