But he wasn't charged with a race related crime. I would understand if he was charged with a hate crime. There was a dead, unarmed 17yr old, and one man's claim of self defense. I don't care what race anyone is, I would need more info than that before I let someone free. Luckily, Zimmerman's bloody nose didn't cut it for a few people, and I unilaterally support a full investigation when the water was murky like it was. If I were Zimmerman, I would've turned myself in too. But the jury decided it was enough for self defense according to the law, and we have to respect that.
