I still can't figure out how after all the stuff Zimmerman has done, he still managed to avoid any serious jail time. Again, it points to him having a privileged background where his dad was probably well connected and getting him out of situations.
It's pretty obvious that although he's a violent dude, he's not tough. It's fairly clear that Martin, despite being outweighed by a good bit, was manhandling his ass pretty thoroughly. How he hadn't managed to run up on the wrong dude before this incident is a testament to how lucky he's been up to that point.
I mean...fights with cops and he's still walking around....even being a part of a neighborhood watch? Like Dave Chappelle says, for black folks some sh*t is unimaginable. LOL...i can't even wrap my mind around it.
The reason you can't wrap your head around it is because you obviously don't know the truth and want to remain ignorant of it.

What truth? The dude got into an altercation with the cops. What ignorance am i displaying?
Quote:
In 2005, Zimmerman, then 20, was arrested and charged with “resisting officer with violence” and “battery of law enforcement officer,” both which are third-degree felonies. The charge was reduced to “resisting officer without violence” and then waived when he entered an alcohol education program. Contemporaneous accounts indicate he shoved an officer who was questioning a friend for alleged underage drinking at an Orange County bar.
George Zimmerman was running off to Target with a gun, saw a person he thought was a prowler, and killed him after a confrontation. Trayvon did not just "end up" dead.
Funny how you believe that you have the events of the evening down. I must have missed the news story that said you had determined the events and have simpliufied it for the rest of us.

Reason: off topic
Forget it. You will never get a conservative to talk honestly about racism. Just state the facts and let them deny deny deny and hopefully they will be seen for what they are
I'm a conservative...RACISM EXISTS. IT ALWAYS HAS AND IT ALWAYS WILL. IT IS HUMAN NATURE...AND YOU CANNOT CHANGE HUMAN NATURE. WE ARE ALL SUSPICIOUS OF THOSE WHO ARE DIFFERENT FROM US. PERIOD. THAT IS THE WAY IT IS. AND THE DOOR SWINGS BOTH WAYS...NOT JUST ONE. RACISM IS A UNIVERSAL LAW OF NATURE....BLACKS HAVE IT TOWARDS WHITES AS MUCH OR MORE SO THAN WHITES HAVE IT TOWARDS BLACKS.
What we do with that racism tells what kind of a person we are. How we project...how we interact....how we perceive. To deny that racism exists in EVERYONE is to deny HUMAN NATURE....and I know that you lefties LOVE to believe that you are above the fray...but you LIE to yourselves...and you also like to believe that the definition of RACISM is white people hating black people because of the color of their skin. Never...EVER does that door swing the other way for you. Sad that such naivity still exists.
Now...there....you have a conservative who has said that racism exists.

Excuse me? Did I mis-state something? Is it not true that GZ was on his way to Target, carrying a gun? Is it not true he thought Trayvon was a prowler? Is it not true that GZ killed Trayvon? Please indicate which of these statements is untrue. Thank you.
The person I was responding to said it was GZ's "poor choices" and that Trayvon "ended up" dead, like we don't know how he ended up that way.

I'll answer for him:
Statement 1: True/or to grocery store
Statement 2: True/or was casing the place for future crime
Statement 3: True/.......but, but, Trayvon threw the first punch.

No one knows who threw the first punch, unless you do b/c you were there!
