17 Year Old Killed Innocent While Shooter Won't Be Charged?

Trayvon Martin, an unarmed African-American teenager, was shot and killed in a gated community in Florida late last month by a white neighborhood watch captain, according to police. But the watch captain, George Zimmerman — a 28-year-old college student who has admitted to police that he shot the young man — still walks free. And Martin's family is pleading for answers and demanding justice.

Was this an act of racism?
What do you think?

At first the article says that Zimmerman is 28, then it says he's 26. Do they not have editors? Also I never read in the article that Zimmerman had any defensive wounds from his so called "physical confrontation" with Martin.

Zimmerman seems like a nut. He disobeyed orders to stay put. He was looking for trouble.

The investigation apparently isn't over.

Quote:

The chief said the police have met with Zimmerman on two to three separate occasions, and that their investigation should be wrapped up this week. He said all of the evidence in the case will be delivered to the Seminole County State Attorney’s Office soon after.

“We’re going to present all the information and if they feel that based on all of the evidence that we’re able to produce that Mr. Zimmerman has satisfied the requirement that he shot in self defense, they may, but if not, he would be charged with some type of homicide or manslaughter,” Lee said.

That's from an update to the article posted yesterday (March 14). At this point it seems too early to jump to conclusions about a lack of legal action. The guy is claiming self defense. It's up to the district attorney to prosecute or not.

Should he be? Personally, I would prosecute him. At least put him in front of a grand jury. The least the system can do is give him a trial.
