Funny enough, plenty people are going to find Zimmerman a scary dude and probably other latinos living in fenced off places. So he shouldn't be to surprised when someone puts a bullet in him because they got scared of a wanna-be militia man running around with an "assault pistol something" (isn't that what his gun was?).

We are experiencing this in Sweden at the moment. He is a psychological doctor that was in an investigation concerning children from war torn countries apathy where his conclusions based on racism instead of medical and psychological science had very hard consequences on these children. It resulted instead of them getting the help they needed to deal with their suffering they were called liars and expelled from Sweden and returned back to war and families split.

Do we really need people who can't separate personal opinion especially when it comes to racism to have such an important jobs where they have to deal with people of all creeds and races? Considering the consequences that might have on individuals and society as whole? Especially when they are not smart enough to see beyond bigoted pseudoscience and instead deal with individuals.

I'm not going to argue with you, but your self-importance and naivite is astounding. I do not think they bother about "our freedoms" that we have and live with ourself. Only when we try to force "our freedoms" and value system upon them in their own countries and cultures they will fight back and criticize, just like we are criticizing them. The screaming and burning flag matches are childish and should not end up with war. But it is obvious that we get way more upset when some backward oil rich kingdom thinks we suck than when some backward canadian holed up in some mountain hole. Everyone says their country is better and that the others are backwards and losers.

It is interesting how U.S. corporations and government is doing all it can to destroy their market for business and influx of money for the sake of shortsighted economical benefits. They are setting up themselves and their corporations to be strong armed by other jurisdictions who will use this as an excuse to protect their markets and businesses. And what about scaring off foreign investors all ccTLDs that are under U.S. companies are going now to be avoided. The U.S. brand is dying slowly because of stupidity and greed. Welcome to the 21st century.

Seriously, this is not applicable here!

What he did is not ethical according to me. He did this for monetary gains plain and simple. If facebook decided to prosecute I do not hold that against them. More menacing ones are probably going to take his place and make it even more expensive for facebook.

He found a security breach great. He want's to disclose it to Facebook while at the same time receive monetary compensation why else would he negotiate with facebook and point out that he has yet to do something bad with the code such as release it in the wild and point out that he was successful previously with the same approach. Unless he informed Facebook even while the negotiation failed it was blackmail. Not very ethical...
