The MSM has been twisting this thing since the beginning, which is why I don't believe most of it at this point. The truth will eventually come out either way.
The truth of the photos that were being shown is that they are, in fact, Trayvon. The recent photos I've seen are a Trayvon taller and a bit older. Mind you I'm not talking about the bogus photos tha have been put out there. He did not have gold teeth, so if you are referring to that one, it is confirmed that it is not him.
You simply can't understand what I am saying. I can't make it anymore simple. I know about the actual photos. He looks 17 and not 12. i am talking about the first photos, not ANY of the others. Now you know why they should have shown recent photos. I did not need to look anyway. I knew that was not a photo of a 17 year old.

If Trayvon Martin had all the physical attributes of the stereotypical "thug" it does not change the fact that Zimmerman had no right to take the law into his own hands...period!
That's what happens when the deceptive old photo goes out. It backfires. They also made Zimmerman look like a thug. Neither one of them look like thugs, but then again appearances are deceiving.

I think many people are disappointed and were shocked that the Zimmerman video did not show a Zimmerman that was bloody, swollen, bandaged and staggering. This shines a light on who the real liars might be.
It means everyone is lying.I am simply not convinced this was all about doing wrong than things going wrong. For all I know Martin thought Zimmerman was a threat just as much as the other. I might hit someone following me too. Its simply awful all around. People are criminalized , try to protect themselves ,and then overreact. Makes sense to me. You think Martin want to die that night? You think Zimmerman was looking to execute a black guy all while giving up dates to the police?
Just because someone is a tv anchorman doesn't mean he couldn't be his friend. I'm actually friends with a local anchorperson where I live and I'm no one special. Also don't use quote marks when you aren't actually quoting a person--I said hostile not attacking. In my view different orders of magnitude. It is very common for the DA to not charge someone with a crime because they do not feel there is sufficient evidence to sustain a charge. DAs are funny about wanting to win their cases. Also habeas corpus keeps a person from being held without filed charges.
I'm sure that he is your actual friend and not someone pretending to be your friend for fame. Since when is this is common in a possible homocide case especially when the investigating officer feels like he should be detained. Like I mentioned before I have see cases when they know they can't win but kept the person in jail because of the word of the arresting officer. The probelm is that the judical system picks and chooses when to apply these little facts and most of the time it goes against the poor, the minorities and the least connected.

Truthfully, Im more outraged at the shoddy police work then anything else that has gone on.

I thought that it was the part that he called him a racial slur, I guess he really said that then
How long will it be before the media will be interviewing the mother of this teen? Not.
The boys were arrested and awaiting arraignment. The mother and her son will have their day in court. How is this related to the Trayvon Martin/Zimmerman case?
BTW..Trayovn's parents were very proactive in bringing attention to their plight. They were relentless in seeking out help.

What does 17-years-old have to do with someone looking suspicious or as a threat ?
Following someone with a gun or calling 911 is going overboard imo, but if you're suggesting that someone must be doing something wrong or illegal before they can be 'suspicious,' you're also going overboard.
No, I never said that. I will go back and find the post you are quoting, but I believe you added the word "suspicious." I was answering a post that defended Zimmerman's actions because Martin could have been a threat to him. I said he wasn't a threat because Zimmerman was not in harm's way when he was sitting in his car. I've been writing for days that following someone with a gun is where he lost his self-defense or stand your ground defense. Even our former Governor agrees.
I really don't know if people on this forum enjoy adding a word to another member's post just to get a reaction or it's unintentional. I never once said that Zimmerman was wrong when he called 911. I wouldn't care if he called 911 because he saw me and didn't like the way I was walking. If he followed me and I felt he might cause bodily harm, that would be different.
Okay, I found it. This is what I wrote.

Then you wrote that I suggested someone can't be suspicious unless he's doing something wrong. I just wanted to know why Zimmerman felt if was necessary to follow someone he reported to the police. So I guess we are on the same page, right?
In the 911 call, when Zimmerman was asked for his address, he said he didn't want to give it to police. I find that odd, don't you? I'll have to go back to the transcript, but I clearly remember that from the tape.
