The media has been portraying this as a big, armed, white, fascist vigilante shooting down a small black boy armed only with a bag of snacks who was minding his own business. But according to the police report, things were a bit different than the way the media has been painting it. First, the community where the shooting occurred is one of the most crime-ridden and dangerous places in America. Second, that &#8220;little boy&#8221; was 6&#8217;3&#8243; tall. Third, several eyewitnesses told police the same story: that Martin punched Zimmerman, who is actually Hispanic, to the ground, jumped on him, and started beating Zimmerman&#8217;s head against the sidewalk. In light of that, it&#8217;s not surprising that the cops didn&#8217;t charge Zimmerman. It sounds to me like they should have given him a community service medal.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 65%; height: 3px; font-family: Arial;\" \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">We made a good start yesterday on another batch of 30 chemistry kits.
