If a 28 year old Black Man Shot a 17 year old white teen wih skittles/iced tea would he be in jail?

thats pretty much all i need to know if the races were reversed and the white kid looked like a child and the black man was black looking

would the police have bought "self defense"

i just don't know man i think the police might actually be the real racists

we know they arrest black people for murders and wouldn't give 28 year old black man the self defense guarantee that white zimmerman recieved

why is this why do police embarass themselves like this publically did they think nobody would notice?

Update:

zmmerman isn't 100% mexican

zimmerman dad LAST NAME Is zimmerman from germany 100% white

an his mother is only partially mexican

so hes more white than ive ever seen

thats not mexican bro his dad is white his skin color looks white he says hes white in testing

if thats not white i dunno what is

    Zimmerman is not white, this entire country is incredibly anti-white, that supports flooding our home with non-white immigrants and illegal aliens, yet still in the twisted minds of the liberals America is white power country, with a black President, go figure!

    If an eye witness saw that white teen on top of the black guy punching him in the face and the black guy was screaming for help for at least a minute then the black guy would have been handcuffed, put in the back of a police car, taken to the station, put in an interview room and interrogated by detectives - just like George Zimmerman was.

    The information would be handed to the District attorney who would give it to the Grand Jury who would decide if there was sufficient evidence to indict.

    Race has nothing to do with it.

    I listened to the politician who brought about the legislation "stand your ground."

    According to him and the few facts known, Zimmerman might have exceeded the law,

    by following Trayvon.

    Just like the two blacks who also followed a white boy, poured gasoline on him,

    then set him on fire.

    I would suppose, even though these blacks might presently be under arrest,

    that the progressive community would be up in arms over this horrendous crime.

    But there's no political mileage in supporting a white boy.

    With witnesses calling 911 because they thought the 28 year old was getting beaten to death?

    Yes, the police probably would have bought self defense - bigot.

    You are wrong. If the races were reversed the outcome would have been the same. OJ slashed his white wife and a white man in cold blood and he got away clean.

    What are you going to steal or burn down first when someone who looks Mexican seems more white than you've ever seen doesn't get the punishment you like?

    By the gods your stupid. At the very least Mr. Zimmerman has South American heritage but is not Mexican. How do you not know this? Oh yea. Your an idiot.

    This should not be about race...they are both human beings...in a tragic situation...

    Regardless of how it all went down, which most of us don't know yet...Zimmerman should have been held until the facts could be ascertained.

    Many Hispanics are white.

    Like Mitt Romney.

    I think the entire race thing on this case needs to be dropped.It really doesn't matter.The fact is,someone shot another person that did nothing to them.Zimmerman decided to follow him around because he looked suspicious.Which was stupid in the first place because if you really believe someone is dangerous you don't draw attention to yourself.He should be arrested regardless of race.
