So how long are you supposed to let a 17 year old child slam your head into the sidewalk before you do something?
There is a witness to that and the cops found blood on the back of Zimmerman's head and he was bleeding from the nose with grass on his back.
The facts are not adding up to the media hype. Let the system do it's job.
maybe he should learn not to stalk and chase innocent people going home from the convenience store... starting an altercation is not 'standing your ground' even the people that CREATED This law said that.
that would be GOOD, since zimmerman stalked and chased after him, if someone did that to me the outcome would be the same. i don't understand how zimmermans having a bloody nose matters to this case.. that's what SHOULD have happened.
You must not know much about the law then. You can't just bash someone's head into the sidewalk, legally, just because someone has followed you, unless they in fact attacked you.
sorry, but a stranger following me home from the store and then chasing me (which is what is proven that happened) means that person INSTIGATED the confrontation. he had every right to defend himself against his stalker and eventual murderer.
According to witnesses, Zimmerman was headed back to his vehicle when Martin attacked him. Pretty clear cut case of the law being in Zimmerman's favor. Martin made a very stupid mistake when he attacked Zimmerman.
Self defense isn't allowed anymore? Or should we just stand there & take it while quietly, calmly saying " oh stop, no more".
you're right that's why zimmerman had a bloody nose, he stalked and chased someone and that person decided to DEFEND themselves.. it's YOU who thinks that that self defense shouldn't be allowed.

It's not self-defense when no actual attack has been made.
So is this woman a "child?" After all, she was just a sweet little 18 year old when she participated in the rape, torture, and murder of two "adults" (ages 21 and 23):
Vanessa Coleman, 18, was arrested by the Lebanon Police Department in Lebanon, Kentucky. She faces 40 Tennessee state charges. Coleman was indicted on 12 counts of felony murder growing out of the rape, robbery, kidnapping, and theft of Christian and Newsom, 1 count of premeditated murder (of Christian only), 1 count of especially aggravated robbery (of Newsom only), 4 counts of especially aggravated kidnapping, 20 counts of aggravated rape, and 2 counts of theft.[8] She was convicted and sentenced to 53 years in prison on July 30, 2010. She described her time in Knoxville as "an adventure."

Try again. How come you opportunists don't like facts or read the damn news? Did you not see the new facts that were released last night from the police report? Zimmerman didn't chase anyone. When he was told to stand down, he said ok and started heading back to his car, that's when Trayvon jumped him from behind. Who started this again?
Not in Florida but maybe in one of the central states.
