Ok maybe I can help with the confusion.
The "other thread" which Kayman says is a non sequitur is the one you brought up here, it's titled "Where's your green card?". That's the one he says about xenophobia not racism. This thread, the one we are in, is the one titled The Politics of Race.
I can't link the site I'm reading but apparently the Florida governor has appointed a new prosecutor in this case. He's assigned a task force to look over the "Stand Your Ground" law so they can find a way to ensure something like this doesn't happen again, while still allowing Floridians to protect themselves and feel safe.
A good start might be acknowledging the difference between "stand your ground" and "hunt them down."
It is actually not a non-sequitur. Zimmerman was a known "community watch" person... He was on the radio to the police dispatcher at the time.Uh, I've read and posted more than once in that thread. It is a non sequitur to this situation.
George Zimmerman isn't white either. He is man of half Hispanic descent.
I'm a firm believer in Vigilante Justice. (Vigilante - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
A couple cases where VJ would be great are this one and the Casey Anthony case, imo. :wink:
Could it be because Mr Zimmerman was PURSUING him after being told by the 911 operator not too? Could it be that Mr Trayvon was defending himself against an out of control vigilante? Mr Zimmertman was armed with a gun. Mr. Martin was armed with a box of skittles and an iced tea.Right on! You can always count on the pinko lefties to take the bait, like you all do everytime time.
Below is an article that lists some facts that the race baiting media has conveneiently covered up.

Dont get me wrong, this is a tragedy. A lot of things went wrong here for sure.

Ironic, Ain't it?
Cause, if not for Zimmerman's similar belief in Vigilante Justice, Trayvon would still be breathing.
I love how these rabid Fox News zombies, seeing a leftist plot behind every news story, are now attempting to portray the armed white guy as some heroic figure and the dead black boy as a dangerous thug.
The armed guy was hispanic not white. perfect example of how YOU have been brainwashed with this race baiting
I see. So, an unidentified grown man, with no official authority, carrying a 9mm gun, ignores PD instruction, violates the conduct of the group he fraudulently represents, approaches a teenager and chases him for "looking suspicious", confronts him, a fight ensues, perhaps they wrestle, perhaps the teenager gets some blows in with his fists, he shoots the teenager dead, the police send him home with his weapon, keep the boy's body for three days in their morgue, fail to answer his cell phone or use it to ID him, and it's the fault of the race baiting media that the shooter, the PD, and the Law being used to justify the shooting, are all being scrutinized.
Makes perfect sense to me. Good to know that Kyle Rogers, Tea Party organizer, is out on front of this to keep it real. And thank you 24065 for your unbiased commentary. All humans should be as compassionate and understanding as you and Kyle. Looking forward to Sara Palin's response, it is sure to be equally insightful.
Do hispanics have more of a right to hunt down black kids and kill them? Not baiting... just wondering aloud...
No, what Zimmerman did was not vigilante justice.
VJ occurs after the fact. In other words, it's seeking justice for a wrong doing that has happened and gone unpunished when the legal system is not seeking justice for that same wrong doing.
In this case, if Zimmerman is not charged/sentenced for a crime... then normal citizens going after him would be the vigilante justice.
