Which is what you were getting at by implication all along, of course.

No, you're not really trying to reach a conclusion about that. You're
trying to engage in the usual left-wing sophistry about it.

They aren't vocal on it, period. Leftists, of all races and
ethnicities, simply look on it as black culture - "what they do."

I would expect more outrage that very often no one is ever apprehended
as a suspect.
You know that this outrage over the Florida shooting isn't really
because Zimmerman was let go, or at least it isn't simply over that. If
the police looked at the case and concluded there was reasonable belief
that it was self defense, as Zimmerman claimed, why *wouldn't* they
release him?
No, the issue - and you know this - is that he was released and he's
considered "white". That's what the outrage is all about. If
everything in the case was the same, but the shooter were black, we
wouldn't be hearing much of anything at all about this. Obama wouldn't
have stuck his nose into it. When a black honor student was beat to
death by a black mob in Chicago in 2009, Obama didn't say a word.

You don't know what "suspect" means, obviously.
Is there an unequivocal crime in question here? If it really was a
shooting in self defense, was there a crime?

They already have.

With every post, you demonstrate you don't know what "suspect" means.

Sorry, no; that's not how it works. In any case, they *have* questioned
Zimmerman. Based on what he told them and what they got from other
sources in their investigation, he was released. It happens all the time.
As we have seen, though, it isn't the release /per se/ that is causing
all the turmoil - it's the fact that he is "white" and was released, and
the left believe as a matter of ideology that if a white kills a black
in a circumstance like this, he must be guilty, not just of murder but
of a hate crime.
