Zimmerman's criminal history included battery of an officer and domestic violence. Google is your friend.

George Zimmerman, Neighborhood Watch Captain Who Shot Trayvon Martin, Charged With Violence Before

I must be mistaken , but I don't see anything about CONVICTION?

Can you help me?

I think the father of Travyon is showing remarkable restraint here. I'm surprised he doesn't chase down Zimmerman, threaten and menace him until Z pulls is piece and then shoots Z in the head saying he felt like his life was in danger, so he "stood his ground."

Zimmerman had holstered gun on his person. Why carry a gun, if you don't plan to use it?

As for witnesses, we have Trayvon on the phone with his girlfriend seconds before he was shot. She states that he was being followed and she told him to run. According to this witness, there was no time for Zimmerman to return to his truck... Phone records substantiate that Trayvon was, indeed, on the phone seconds before he was shot.

Exactly as suspected.
I didn't see your thread.

Why would it matter?
What does that have to do with this case?
Obama's economy has a lot of people going back home.

No crocodile tears here. Just facts. Fact is, he's Hispanic. If a man with a similar background was attacked by a group of white "youths" there would be no hesitancy to say the victim was a "person of color'. You know this.

He entered a pre-trial diversion plan to avoid a conviction. Google that if you don't know what it is.

Point is, he had a criminal history, while the victim did not.

Which is why they have sensationalized a screwdriver to equal a "burglary tool"

Trayvon was not "Mr. Goodwrench". A screwdriver is the favorite "tool" for Grand Theft Auto.

So Trayvon may have been a typical American punk.
