It's a conspiracy. He engineered the wreck to silence potential witnesses against him in federal court.

The fat boy with the blank expression? Kind of a permanent "HUH' that's often seen in rural America?

Doubt it.

What felon are you talking about? Anyways Zimmerman is the one with the arrest record.

I thought "hood" stood for "hoodlum".

Bill Whittle examines the death of Trayvon Martin and trial of George Zimmerman. Is the acquittal of Zimmerman one of the great civil rights injustices of our time? Find out.

Funny how there continues to be threads and posts all over the place demonizing a dead teenager and his family and the same people doing that now seem to be involved in some lame PR campaign to try to create an image of Zimmerman that puts him in the best light possible.

Gag me.
Well, if they had an Obama sticker on the car I'd drive right by........

George was likely listening to a police scanner 24 hours a day in order to play the hero and redeem his name.

Too coincidental.

If it's true, good for him.

I think he's trying to play superman.

Don't forget this IF:

If Trayvon was so damned pure and innocent as an angel, he coulda called 911 instead of Rachel for advice. Even then he didn't heed her admonition of 'Run, Trayvon, run!'.

He CHOSE to stay and pick a fight.

Conclusion: He did have some reason to not call 911. He was opening a can of whoopass on someone by surprise, and lost.
