Hopefully the KKK and the New Black Panthers will get into a shoot out and eliminate each other.

Like I said, let the racists from both sides take each other out.

If you guys actually listened to the 911 tape and paid attention to what is actually said you might learn something.

So a 911 dispatcher suddenly realizes the caller is following a person he (Zimmerman) calls suspicious, probably on drugs, up to no good, has something in his waist like a weapon, and says "we don't need you to do that" and we're all supposed to sit back and think..."Oh, so that really means, "go ahead, follow the man, get into a confrontation, and shoot him if you get into a fight?" You can't pick apart the words unless you agree that Zimmerman left out "I'm carrying a loaded 9mm" from the conversation. He didn't even mention a gun. You can't pick apart a sentence like "we don't need you to do that" which to most people in the world would mean "don't follow him" but then forget other details. He kept saying the man was frightening, and that he probably was going to do something criminal, but he failed to mention he began chasing him on foot with a gun. Maybe then we'd hear "Under no circumstances should you use your weapon. Go back to your car immediately!" For weeks I've been saying this was not murder, not unless we can positively prove that the voice calling for help was the victim's. I just think Zimmerman is a man with a lot of anger issues and got himself into a situation where he lost control. If he was such a macho guy, why didn't he take self defense courses? That makes me wonder how many of the people who walk around with concealed weapons ever bother to take non-lethal, self-defense classes like karate or carry pepper spray. As I've written numerous times, you and others fail to understand this man had previously made numerous calls to 911, so he knows the drill. Maybe in another call he was told "don't follow him, Sir." I hope you never attack a woman and she begs "Please stop" and your defense is "She didn't say, don't rape me. She just said please stop."

Well, I guess since Zimmerman is walking around a free man, he got the ball rolling. This was in the news today. I'm hiding.

You and do realize that that they have an integrated community don't you? This being said, who's neighborhood do you think will get burned down

I believe that they did what they were asked to do and that was to provide light on the situation, which they did. From this point on it is up to the legal system. If anything happens after that, especially if it does not go to trial it would be because of the people already there.

Like I've asked a million times, and have yet to receive an answer (hint:you don't have it), after the operator said "we don't need you to do that" and Zimmerman said "ok", do you have any definitive evidence whatsoever that Zimmerman did not head back towards his vehicle? I'll wait.....

Unfortunately, there are many more KKK members. However, I agree!

So what earth shattering news do you expect to come from this continuing "investigation"?

I think they know they don't have enough to sustain an arrest let alone a conviction and are scrambling to find the best way to put the proverbial lipstick on a pig.

Obviously you have never had to deal with the law, if they wanted to they could have easily found something to charge him with. I guess that you forgot that the homocide detective wanted to charge him with something before the DA intervened. I guess the original charge was lost in the shuffle
