show me the conviction not the dropped cases... i've read all those charges, none of them involved zimmerman hitting someone in a violent nature.
pushing a non-uniformed police woman. you call that violent behavior?
picking up and throwing out a drunk and disorderly woman. a violent person would do more than that. i can't remember the third, but since all those cases didn't involve really violent behavior i don't see zimmerman fitting the profile of a thug.
pushing cops and resisting arrest fits my criteria for thug, not sure what your criteria is, carryng skittles?

So violence against women (even a police officer) isn't really violence?
'Nuff said.
Dublin is also considered Bay Area, which has a metro area of over 8 million people. I wouldn't really call that "dinky". Personally, I will take the experience and knowledge of a Police officer over people who watch Law and Order/CSI and think they know how the criminal justice system works. Unless of course you have relevant knowledge or experience that forms the oh-so insightful posts (not emotional or biased) that you have presented thus far......
I still haven't recovered from men here thinking that a female only takes a birth control pill when they plan on having sex! Oy, vey! And the naked hatred is seemingly more pronounced these days. It's a perverse culture.
yes, its called "implied consent" and most states indeed assume the refusal to be an admission of guilt. Revocation of license, and a fine.
Zimmerman refused?. That is quite telling.
Also some on here are assuming Zimmerman had full police power. He was a HOA rent a cop, NOT a sheriff or police officer. This is rather disturbing, and clearly he should never be allowed to carry a firearm ever again, and in any other case as a regular citizen he certainly WOULD be sitting in jail right now awaiting sentencing.
Just to be clear, I never said Zimmerman was asked to take a blood test or refused one. The other poster was calling me ignorant and stupid for saying that a police officer can stop a drunk driver and give him/her a breathalizer test. I was only pointing out that Trayvon Martin, the victim, was tested for chemical substances, but AFAIK his killer was not. This is the information that every newspaper and TV station has been reporting for weeks.
You are correct, however, that Zimmerman was only a neighborhood watch volunteer.
The fact that he shot and killed an unarmed teenager points to a man who had no chance of inheriting the Earth. He also had a prior record of violent incidents. Trayvon had no such record.
if an unarmed teenager is beating on you and you had a gun, would you shoot him? if a man had allegations of violence against him and were dropped is that the same as being found guilty? good luck accessing juvenile records. if trayvon has one, the martin defense will never let it surface. nor will they provide his school grades or attendance records. trayvon is a minor, what kind of parent would sign a notarized release form to allow their child to get tattooed?
since everyone is attacking zimmerman's character, it's only fair game for trayvon's character to be attacked as well. there are those that believer trayvon is a thug and there are those that believer george is the thug. tell me, who was dressed that was most closely resembled a thug? we say the clean cut zimmerman, but we only know of the hoodie dressed trayvon. do thugs dress nicely or would they most likely be wearing a hoodie?

I know you skimmed thru the posts, but in case you missed up on it, the FBI has started their own invesigation.
Yes it is illegal to stop someone, not to question them, but to force them to stop. I've been approached by people selling stuff on the street and i sometimes don't stop.
no he didn't forcibly detain trayvon. you actually think zimmerman used his gun to forcibly stop trayvon to ask him what he's doing there?
you mentioned you were approached on the street and you didn't stop. are you saying it was illegal for those people to approach you?
