The teen that had weed in his system,who attacked a man who was watching out for his community and cracked his skull open?Hmm yeah I am more concerned with the man who defended himself against that violent thug than I am some punk that is dead because of his actions.

Pretty good head start, dontcha think?
He couldda crawled to the house.

According to Martin's girlfriend, whom he was on the phone with at the time, Zimmerman was following him, He was right on Martin's tail when Martin turned around to ask him why he was following him.

Doesn't sound to me like he lost sight.

Martin's girlfriend said that? Well, guilty then. We now know he's guilty since we have an impartial and credible witness such as Martin's girlfriend......

I'm not saying she is a credible witness. I'm saying that people need to stop assuming that Martin was some super human that moved at the speed of light and Zimmerman was some out of shape blob that couldn't catch him if he tried. People are giving Martin too much credit.

Armed, GZ initiated a confrontation with someone who wasn't armed, allowed that unarmed person to get the upper hand in the fight, so that he could claim that he was defending himself when he shot that unarmed person.

Notice in the above description of what GZ did, that I didn't mention race. What GZ did was just plain wrong. He premediated and deliberated, given that he had a choice not to confront Martin. GZ could've stayed in his car and waited for the proper authorities to arrive, especially since he was armed and a confrontation with Martin could potentially leave someone hurt or killed. GZ knew he had the upper hand though, and could shoot that black person he apparently despised if given the right circumstances so he could claim self-defense.

Zimmerman, the beady-eyed bigot, is ignorant and a menace to society. He should hang.

So, you rather have a man who has a history of assaulting police and beating on his wife than a weed smoker?

You mean, not only a weed smoker, but a guy that has 12 pcs. of womens jewerly(which he has no idea or comment about where they came from) and carries a burglary tool in his backpack. I'd rather have a concerned citizen living in my sub-division like GZ then TM anyday.

I like my jewerly!
