Without question, Zimmerman. This is a guy whose been arrested for a felony assault charge, was fired from his job at one point for being too unstable, and has made over 40 911 calls of which I'm sure the vast majority were about harmless nonsense, and to top it all off he decides to go out and confront any "suspicious" person in his neighborhood. The guy is clearly an unhinged nutjob. Martin on the other hand even from the other "findings" we're getting now just sounds like a typical black teenager. We have people like Martin in my neighborhood all the time with no problems. I bet even the Minneapolis PD would tell you it's people like Zimmerman who cause problems.

An old crazy Mexican with a gun or a young black guy (not a child) with skittles?  That's pretty easy.

I suppose I'd be more intimidated by the guy who walks around armed, killing people.

He's not Mexican in the least bit....and he's half white. I love how everyone denies he is half white.

And he's not old either, but he most certainly is more of a threat than an unarmed black teenager. He's an unhinged lunatic who'll probably kill again if he's not locked up.

The guy who's probably a stoner or the guy who thinks he's f**king Dirty Harry?

I think Dirty Harry wins this one.

(Although Zimmerman has arguably more in common with Frank Drebin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4ui_eQF4oE&feature=player_detailpage#t=40s)

People who wear Hollister are among the least threatening on the planet to me. And people who have a history of shooting other people are among the most threatening. So, do the math.

Even as someone who sympathizes with him, I would still have to say Zimmerman.

Dead people are scary though. Tongue

What I seriously wonder though... if Zimmerman's Whiteness were bonafide certifiable 100%... would the poll result look quite as clearcut? Tongue

BigSkyBob, J.J., jimrtex are my guesses, not sure who the fourth would be. This probably lines up nicely with an Obama v. Palin poll, where who you vote for has more to do with your own identity and who you see as "your team" than the facts of the case.

All depends on whether, or not, you considering recent, or older photos.

Also those pictures (at least one of them) of Treyvon Martin are 100% fake, and spread by Stormfront.

The first one [this one was cropped to his face] shows tattoos on the arm. It is easy enough to verify whether, or not, Martin had those tattoos on his arm. Appealing to the Ad Hitler Fallacy doesn't alter that fact.

I'm curious as to which one you claim is fake, and, how you know that for certain?

Of the pictures on the right, the smiling man does not seem anti-social, while flipping the bird for  its own sake does. I would fear a person whom appeared to be anti-social more than one that did not.

Really? He's wearing a bad suit. You should never trust a man in a bad suit.
