So, Martin (who was unarmed) deserved to be gunned down by some crazy neighborhood watch guy?

You say that Martin was constantly in trouble, and apparently Zimmerman had some issues himself.

I'm not going to sit here and judge the outcome of this case. I'll let the judicial system take care of that but I truly believe Zimmerman is at fault for the loss of this young man's life and should be held accountable.

In the beginning the issue wasn't the racism or lack of racism on the part of George Zimmerman but rather a perception of racial bias on the part of the Sanford Police Department and the state's attorney for not bring charges.

But nonetheless, thanks for sharing.

according to all accounts, martin, who was under SUSPENSION form school for drugs, and having STOLEN GOODs ON HIM, probably would not have had a long life expectancy in maimi (his home town) which violent crime rate is the highest in the nation..with especially high incidences of robbery and assault.

he is after all a product of his society

It doesn't take a law degree from a prestigious university to make the assumption that his lawyers were very much against this. But....he did it anyways.
I have said that from the beginning and a search of my posts will prove that. GZ is not a bright guy and that should be part of his defense. Not bright people are dangerous when armed. You have to utilize common sense and logic when making decsions that have the potential to cause injury. GZ's lack of both have been proven by his past history and his leaving his vehicle on that tragic night. An intelligent person would have made the 911 call if there was reason for suspicion and then would have stayed put.

Most of this post is a lie.

Martin DID NOT have 'stolen goods' on him. Why do you keep writing that?

He did not live in Miami.

SUSPENSION-----OOOOOOOHHH
That's a downright FELONY!!!

He's not bright and he's a racist. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Multiple suspensions paint complicated portrait of Trayvon Martin - Trayvon Martin - MiamiHerald.com

According to the report, on Oct. 21 staffers monitoring a security camera at Miami Carol City Senior High School spotted Trayvon and two other students writing “W.T.F.,” an acronym for “What the f---,” on a hallway locker, according to schools police. The security employee, who knew Trayvon, confronted the teen and looked through his bag for the graffiti marker.
Trayvon’s backpack contained 12 pieces of jewelry, in addition to a watch and a large flathead screwdriver, according to the report, which described the screwdriver as a burglary tool.
Trayvon was asked if the jewelry, which was mostly women’s rings and earrings, belonged to his family or a girlfriend.
“Martin replied it’s not mine. A friend gave it to me,” according to the report. Trayvon declined to name the friend.

So even if that were true (and its not) that required the death penalty? What was his crime? Walking (while Black) and holding a bag of Skittles?

Was he arrested, tried and/or convicted? No.

Its interesting that the Zimmerman zealots want so badly to believe that GZ (who actually had been arrested several times for assaulting a police officer and domestic violence against his former girlfriend) is an angel. Speaks volumes to the depths of bigotry that runs through all of the GZ supporters.
