Criticism aimed at George Zimmerman is based on GZ not profiling or stereotyping Trayvon Martin as being the depraved and violent criminal he proved to be. GZ "should have known better" (Why?) than expect TM to act as a responsible and civilized human. As a result, GZ ended up flat on his back with TM beating the snot out of him, with a cement sidewalk behind his head so he was taking head injuries. There was no playground monitor or school teacher around to tell TM to behave, not that the 17 year old criminal would have obeyed. Then Trayvon Martin told George Zimmerman that TM was going to kill GZ.

Should Zimmerman just thought "Oh, he is just a kid talking big" as he was getting beaten up?

Zimmerman took him seriously, pulled a handgun, and protected himself.

The news media showed a photo of Trayvon Martin taken when he was 12. By the time he was 15, he was such a problem that his step mother kicked him out (his cell phone had texts about beating people and making them bleed). His real mother could only take two years of this violent druggy criminal, and kicked him out. He was living with his father's girl friend. His father could have straightened him out, maybe, being a member of the Crips street gang so he knew what was really going on, his father did not. If there was any tragedy, it was the family failure to teach a child to act responsibly that ended with the child becoming an animal. There is no tragedy that an animal got removed.

All of what I have written can be found on the net, if someone does some basic research instead of taking the word of politically biased race baiters.
