Some of the other idiots are paid for at least attempting to be intelligent. Obama grandstanding and Jackson with his "I'll pass judgement before I know anything" typical position are actually an embarrassment.
Nah, i'll pass.

In fact, i can't wait until the next Heat game on TV.

That's true - but the reactionary part is during the fight. His cool headed intent to follow (foolishly) I believe can not be intent to murder. His motive was different than that - it had to do with not wanting Trayvon to get away as others did prior to police showing up. I have dealt with this myself - I have had police show up in non emergency situations (loiterers, tresspassers, ect.) 45 min. after the call. It is damn frustration esp. when it is the same offender and they know it.

It is amazing how with each passing day we get more of the story. Now if all of these was in the orginal report why are they releasing pieces of it at a time? And wasn't it the orlando sentinel who reported that Zimmerman's lawyer said his injuries merrited stitches but didn't go to hospital? So did the lawyer not know he received treatment the next day? Was it secret treatment?

No hospital equals a boo-boo. Not an injury that should be met with deadly force.http://ts4.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=4634012513731271&id=5e741f0a18662 7b9a1c93fe1e69edce0&url=http%3a%2f%2ffarm1.staticf lickr.com%2f91%2f282634158_b0744cba16_z.jpg (broken link)

He had a month to man up, and come forward. But he can't fight off a prosecutor by shooting him.

good point, especially in light of the fact that they have had black people in that neighborhood interviewed defending zimmerman's "intention".

i heard that zimmerman called the police at least 40 times to report suspicious people in the neighborhood, so he was, at the very least, an overzealous neighborhood watchman with too much free time on his hands. (did he even have a job?). clearly, he was a wannebe cop who got shot down in his desire to be a policeman/enforcer.

i will say that this whole thing is a tragedy, (which clearly deserves the grand jury that it is receiving) with yet another tragedy in the making. from the black panthers:

The New Black Panther Party has offered a $10,000 reward for the 'capture' of George Zimmerman.

The group's leader Mikhail Muhammad said the bounty was 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth'.

i am sorry but this country has too many "neighborhood watchers" of all persuasions, with too much free time, deciding on their own course of justice. muhammed should be embarrassed, but i am sure that he isn't.

i think a parallel issue is that we don't have enough americans working anymore, and they ALL have too much free time-with wannabe vigilantes everywhere.

Because we had the audacity to take the whitehouse many are glad that this happened and that he will get away. A white lady told a crowd at work yesterday some of the awful things she has heard said. She spoke about it because her nephew is mixed.

Shiloh, And let me guess. You shot at none of them, let alone killed an unarmed intruder. That's the difference.

Stop equating Joe Frustrated But Sane, with this luny tune, homicidal threat to society.

The way these people are acting, wild, stupid, with no rational thought, its no wonder races hate each other. Obama is the worst of all, along with the media.

I like how Obama said when he thinks of Trayvon Martin, he thinks of his children. I guess he doesn't have much faith in the Secret Service.
