The head homicide detective was not convinced of Zimmerman's account of what occurred and did feel he should have been arrested.

And two, why do you keep insisting that Zimmerman should turn himself in? For what? There are no warrants, he's not being charged and the police, to my knowledge, aren't seeking him for additional questioning.
The same reason that some of you claim that the media is making him look guilty. I will repeat (for the hard of reading) being detained for a couple of hours is a hell of alot different than being detained until a proper investigestion is conducted. No he does not HAVE to, but if he really feels that he is innocent and actually cares that this can blow up he would voluntarily turn himself him until the trial.

Uh, because you don't get to make up your own rules for how you think investigations work.

Many people, including myself, think that there's something more to the story. I want to know what it is before I pass judgement. If Zimmerman shot TM when he didn't need to, then lock his ass up and throw away the key. I'm not defending or condemning anyone until I know what actually happened that night.
99% of the posts on this thread and other threads are speculation. The eye witness accounts are inconsistent and fractured because no one saw it from beginning to end. You're not passing judgement? You already have a scenerio in your head.

Are you overlooking the fact that TM was on the phone with his gf, he tells her some guy is following him, she tells him to run, he says he won't run just walk faster, and then she hear's him ask someone: why are you following me?

Because of one incident, you do not have to act like the fools you are, to get a point across. We get it, believe me we get it.

But acting like fools, also sends a message.

What you mean like this:
Images of pictures of a lynching

I noticed that the whites there are all calm and collective, I wonder if the blacks even had a chance to defend themselves or even make it to the jail before this happened

Or, at the very least, make a statement himself. It doesn't have to be a live statement. He can send a video to a news station. Not have his friend and lawyer (who has yet to met him or, according to him, knows where GZ is) serve as his messenger.

So, the police are supposed to use taxpayer funds to shelter and protect someone who's not being charged with any crime?

Yeah, that's a great idea.
