Unfortunately, no matter what the truth actually is, this has turned into an international racial catastrophe.
Some of us NEVER bought the bull**** story that many are still trying to push about what went on that evening. There's no way Trayvon would have ever been caught if Zimmerman was chasing him trying to execute him. Zimmerman did what he had to do to save his own life from this little goon, it's sad that someone had to die but at least it wasn't the guy who was being beaten.

So the fella wanted to execute the kid but decided to let him break his nose first?

I can't take off the ruby slippers though because my three year old has just started watching the Wizzard of Oz on the Cartoon Network right now.
Well at least take the dress off you're confusing the child.

They have their story - only more blood will do.

The NBPP has put out wanted signs for Zimmerman, have threatened him repeatedly....and nothing is done.
Well,if justice isn't served,what do you think would happen?

Did Zimmerman at least apologize to the family?

I lived several years in Sanford. They do have a crime problem there, but I think Vigilantes are not the way it should be dealt with. That is the problem with this Law, if enables Vigilantes like Zimmerman.

An inconvenient truth? Sounds like he was defending himself.

Witness: Martin attacked Zimmerman (http://www.myfoxtampabay.com/dpp/news/state/witness-martin-attacked-zimmerman-03232012 - broken link)

My question to Ya'll. If you are on your back, a football player
(in much better shape than you) is punching you in the face,
do you lay there and get beaten to death, or do you stop that
beating any way you can?

At this point, it doesn't matter who's fault it is. Race is not a
factor. The circumstances that preceded this point in time are
irrelevent.

''He won't stop hitting me, I can't stop him from hitting me. I
believe I am blacking out. I don't want to die.''

Do you continue to be pummeled, or stop it.

Ah, the typical overemotion towards our media's latest 15 minutes of obsessive fame, soon to be replaced by the next obsession.

Tayvon, Casey Anthony, OJ, etc etc. Watch the media circus, the threats of violence, the arm chair quarterbacking............all accomplishing nothing except raising blood pressures.

How about letting the new investigation take place, see if it causes an arrest to be made, then see a court case develop?

Anyone want to still claim that he couldn't hurt a fly?
So now,because he is a black men,he doesn't look innocent?

There is a very hot place with flames awaiting so called Christians like yourself.

There's a pic floating around with him in gold teeth. However he did appear to be raised by a good family. There were family pics at ski resorts and other activities.

I don't think he is a bad kid by any stretch. I'm of the view he was scared of Zimmerman following him and his fight or flight reflex kicked in. He chose to fight and he was doing well but Zimmerman was armed and the rest is history.

For what? For slamming his head and nose into Trayvon's fist while he was laying on the ground?
