Writer soul- it absolutely IS relevant! This was not just a massacre, but a terrorist attack. The killer had ties to extremists in Pakistan (though it is unclear whether he was involved with al Qaeda as he claimed). Obama doesn’t care about terrorism- yeah, he killed bin Laden, but that was really the least of our problems.
Health- there are a million and one better reasons not to vote for him. The Florida shooting is a mess. You seem so sure of what went down, considering that we only have one side of the story (the other side being dead). What would be wrong with having a trial and allowing Zimmerman to argue that he acted in self-defense? Let him prove it in court- if he can, he will be acquitted, if he can’t, he goes to jail. Someone is dead- of course the person who did it is going to claim he had a good reason for it. Since when do we just take his word for and not investigate? Again, if he really acted justly, he sould be able to prove it in court.
The claim that Zimmerman can’t be racist because he’s a minority is ridiculous. I teach in a NYC public school and believe me, minorities are all racist against each other. The blacks and the Hispanics particularly hate each other. And I don’t buy the “some of my best friends are [insert group here]”- I don’t buy it when someone says it about Jews, and I don’t buy it when it’s about any other group.
