He has already walked. Walked away from having any normal life. He has walked right into the realm of the social pariah. Walking hand in hand with OJ and Casey Anthony.

Totally false. Martin was pacing himself 'real slow' in the rain looking for things to steal.

We are all glad you were there to see it and knew what was in martins head so that you could come back and tell us....

He was just another negro though right? So assuming the worst is a safe bet by default.

Exmaining trials can be wave by accused for many reason to include wanting the not to reveal eactly what they will use beforee a jury to a judge who only rules on if chrages should go to court based on baic alw of enough evidence. Most actaully think in such emtional trials that judges are likel;y to dismiss. why put forth a reson of defesne before needed tehy conclude.

Why did it matter to the media that Zimmerman was 'white' in the beginning? They kept harping it but in essence, Zimmerman was Hispanic. The media then said he was a 'white Hispanic'. What was their motive.

Of all the posts I have read on c-d...This is the most perplexed, twisted in knots, and in a box full of marbles sensical.

I agree with you. Racism is the height of ignorance no matter where it comes from

You know, I was agreeable with your comment, all the way up to the last word. Aggressive attacker, aggressive person. Who cares what the racial background of the attacker was. I don't.

i have no problem with people having their own opinion, but why is it that we can never have an honest debate about race in this nation ? Why is it that there is always the comment of " this was genned up to create a racial incident" ?

What does black on black teen crime have to do with what man perceived as a child being chased down and murdered for being a black person in a predominantly white community ?

And do you honestly think people dont care about crime in Chicago ? This sentiment has been going on for about a year now and plenty of people have pointed out marches held in Chicago, meeting with Mayor Emmanual and community leaders to find a solution to the crimes, yet people like the poster above continue to make it seem as if no one cares about Chicago. Those meeting and marches not being in the national news does not mean they arent happening.
Ok, calm down. Anyone with an ounce of rational thought can see that the media does a lousy job of reporting the news, rather, they go for sensationalism. The more controversial, (and the more they can make it controversial), the bigger the ratings. Don't be suckered in by those talking heads. They don't care about you or me or anyone else when they "report" the "news".

A witness who was on the phone with Martin has stated Martin became scared of the man following him, and began to run. Zimmerman admits this, and admits to getting out of his car to follow him. Zimmerman then ends the call to the non-emergency police line. After that, there are no other witnesses as to what happened. Zimmerman is the only one to claim that he was walking back to his vehicle and was then attacked. The only facts agreed upon by all parties (prosecutors and defense) are that Zimmerman instigated the confrontation by first following Martin and then getting out of his car to chase him.
Would this be the same "witness" who it was later found out LIED and has credibility issues? That one?

Facts...a beautiful thing...when actually used.
