The irony is that you can empathize with the killer but have no respect or empathy for the family that lost a child. Sad.
He wasn't a child, he was a hoodlum that jumped George Zimmerman, bashing his head til bloody, was going for his gun and lost the fight. end of story George was serving his community, he is the one that was and is the victim. It's pure politics and racism, otherwise he would be home with his family.

You can, of course, prove this?

Because Zimmerman is a hoodlum with screws loose and needs to be off the streets. We don't need people like him walking around.

At the end of the day, I'm glad there is an Eternal Judge. You can get away here, but you won't there if you refuse to recognize your wrongdoing. Let Zimmerman keep fooling himself.

chasing? You people just make chit up as you go along, typical. There was no chase, there was observation.

I think they actually start believing their own lies. He couldn't possibly have been chasing him, he didn't even know where he went. He lost sight of Trayvon until the kid clobbered him.

George was serving his community?

How? By taking one more black kid off the streets?

Well, get your checkbook out, claud (if you haven't already); George's lawyers are calling your name!

Actually, Zimmerman is home with his family (I'm surprised you didn't know that) - being supported in a manner I'm sure he's getting quite accustomed to by people donating to the website his lawyer set up for that purpose.

It's TRAYVON who isn't home tonight, and if Zimmerman hadn't played vigilante that night - and judge, jury, and executioner - Trayvon would be home with his family.

Hate crime, what hate crime? Against Trayvon maybe, but that would be pointless.
