If Trayvon was strong enough to keep Zimmerman pinned, how did Zimmerman overpower him to get the gun first? How was he able to reach for it in his holster?

The school security knew tm, recognized him from security video, and the school suspended him and 2 other students for the graffiti. This isn't really important for the shooting, so why try to deny it happened. Next you'll be arguing that if we look carefully at pics of tm we'll see a halo.

You're not qualified to make these statements. Why? Because you don't know what conversation actually transpired. Therefore, making claims that he "harrassed" Travyon Martin is pure speculation with no evidence to back it up.

You should go join the Al Sharpton rally. You'd fit right in with the 1000's of others who don't have a clue about what actually transpired. Thinking you know what happened doesn't make it a fact.

read the posts, i am pleased that the people for the most part dont buy into nbpp, of course. by comparison, what worries me is that publically, muslims denounce terrorism, but not privately.

That's a good point. Although don't count on the Sanford PD to provide any help with that one. They apparently decided this was a closed case the night of the shooting--until weeks later after Martin's family raised concerns and this story hit the national media.

The highly ironic fact is though, he was standing in that car ranting about black people in a train car full of ghetto black people with their pants hanging down, they were just shaking their heads and telling me, "Chill ma, chill."

I cried for an hour and a half after that.

I live in New York City. This was on the 2 train going into Brooklyn, of all places.

Until this past week honestly, I never gave race more than two passing thoughts. Maybe I'm naive as all heck.
I think you encountered one of NYC's crazy homeless people. That shouldn't be all that uncommon an encounter in New York.

Do you think you would be justified in assaulting him? Or any of the guys on the train?

No , he had a right to say whatever without being attacked.

He seems to be able to know how to carry a gun and kill people. Did he live at home at 28? Was he the home owner? If he was on the neighborhood watch how was that possible if he wasn't he home owner?

I hate to say this but if Martin was 28 living at home he would have been called a bum and every welfare name in the book.

Seeking to understand here and maybe someone can answer these questions.

Did 28 year old gun toting Zimmerman
1. Live at home?
2. Have a job?
3. Enrolled in school?
Oh how naughty of you to imply anything bad about the racist's hero!!!!


HIS background doesn't count, doncha know, ONLY the BLACK VICTIM'S background matters because he forced the shooter to shoot him....



I do have more questions like

What was Zimmerman The Loser wearing?

Was he dressed like a killer or a victim???


Slightly off topic, does wearing Hilfigger imply victim or killer???

Ralph Lauren??

The timeframe is all on the tape. You can listen yourself, just search for the recording.
And from the tape you were able to determine how fast they were moving and how far they went? Wow...I need to listen to that tape again

LOL...so your breathing is heavy when you are following someone and then returns to normal when you turn away and change your mind?

By your logic, I can run on a treadmill and as soon as I step off, my breathing will return to normal.

Yikes!
