Bruin Rick, Don't you trust a vigilante who thought a prior 7 year old black girl looked suspicious. Her barbie doll, no doubt, posed a danger to him and his gun.
Toyman, Floridas' first instinct was to sweep this under the rug. And the hater is the coward who killed the unarmed, 17 year old.
One who hides out for a month thereafter is a coward.
I'd hide too if a bunch of easily swayed people were coming after me for defending myself, all because the media portrayed a violent teenager as some innocent defenseless kid who was stalked.
NO the TEEN had the RIGHT under the stand your ground law to confront his stalker. and use WHATEVER FORCE NECESSARY to defend himself. if someone was stalking me when i was walking home from the store and then confronted me, I'd do the EXACT SAME THING.
Sorry but following someone is not illegal or a justified use of force. Being on top of someone and beating the crap out of them is a justified use of force.

One who doesn't hide out from the mobs that have been incited, and after many death threats is an idiot. And what difference does that make anyway. "Floridas" first instint wasn't to sweep this under a rug. That happened by the local PD, not the state. After, by the way, taking statements from Zimmerman and from eye witnesses. I agree, they did a poor job of investigating and collecting evidence.
None of which has anything to do with the "innocent child" arguement.
But let's be honest. Both conservatives and liberals cross that line whenever it benefits them. Claiming Trayvon is an adult behooves conservatives in this situation as this law may be in jeopardy and far left persons could use this as a reason to tighten gun regulations.
Nope, not always, if he had committed a capital offense after age 15 he is an adult.
1)lets make three seperate threads because one isn't enough.
2)you werent there, what do you know besides what you read online?
3)children play with dolls and sell lemonade on the side of the road, they aren't 6 foot 2
A. He was wearing a hoodie and stopped at multiple houses giving the impression he was casing them for burglary later. It is now being reported that Travyon was suspended from school for possession of a burglary tool and some rings that did not belong to him.
B. He was a stranger that did not live in the neighborhood.
