Was it because Zimmerman was white, or not charged?

The Hannity.com boards are having a debate tonight...

Some 4 year old black kid was apparently shot in the head by a black man...he's been arrested.

Some folks on Hannity are saying, "Where's the outrage on this black on black crime? Why aren't Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton rushing to the side of this 4-year old boy demanding an end to black-on-black crime?"

And other folks are saying the two cases aren't similar. The black community wasn't outraged with whites because Trayvon was shot by a white Latino guy, but because the white Latino guy wasn't even arrested (but apparently the fact that the cops interrogated Zimmerman for six hours and saw the broken nose, and released him then didn't mean anything...)

The question is though, will Zimmerman be able to get a fair trial? Considering the protests, and the bounty on Zimmerman's head, is a fear of riots from the black community - at least those under the thrall of the newBlack Panthers - not a valid one, if he is exonerated? In order to avoid those riots, will the jury convict him, on the basis that it is better send an innocent man to jail than watch millions of dollars worth of property be destroyed?
