He'd probably change his name and appearance and relocate to a different state.

Or he could hole-up with Casey Anthony...a match made in heaven (or hell)!

The media had him at 260 lbs or so, at his real weight I don't think anyone would recognize him anyway if he grew his hair out. Everyone would be looking for a 260 lb man with a shaved head and he could just walk by at his 170 lbs with longer hair.

I do find it interesting that the media has not mentioned Zimmermans weight since we know now that he is nowhere near the 250-260 they originally reported.

If the community Zimmerman guarded was so dangerous, why wasn't there paid security?
Was Trayvon Martin the innocent victim?
Did George Zimmerman over-react?
Did racial remarks spark the tragedy?
Why didn't the Sanford PD take care of this before it became a national media race-related blitz?

A tragic ending for both families.

From the pictures it looked like an average complex and wasn't that nice. Probably no money to pay anyone. Gated doesn't mean nice and expensive in Fl all the time.

Any solvent HOA probably has a good-sized liability insurance policy to cover 'incidents' in common/outdoor areas.

Yes. It was the poor policing that seemed to be getting ready to absolve Zimmerman that caused the federal government to step in to oversee their operations, wasn't it?

Didn't the chief of police step down, too? The fish rots from the head down.

I'D USE MY GUN TOO IF THAT HAPPENED TO ME.

It is against the rules of the community to have a gun on you while patrolling. It is against the laws to confront, but call the police, who also told Z not to confront.

Treyvon was on the phone with a friend expressing concern that someone was following him. Treyvon was the voice that was heard, shortly afterwards, screaming for help. A witness saw Z on top of Treyvon.

Those are the facts.

As remarked on by a previous poster, I do find it interesting that Zimmerman, originally weighing a lot, goes into hiding to prevent pictures being taken of him, and then come out remarkably thinner. Hmmmm.

I'm sorry, but I don't know of anyone losing near 100lbs in 44 days...On the video from the SPD GZ did not look like he weighed 250lbs and that was taken 35 minutes after the shooting...

As with many, you have your "facts" wrong. GZ was on his way to the store running an errand when he spotted a suspicious looking Trayvon Martin in the neighborhood. He didn't recognize him as someone who lived in the community. Guess what? He was right!.

Amazing how you can select only the "Facts" that support your opinion. I believe for every witness that "saw" GZ on top of TM, there are at least two who saw it the other way around. Are you an expert in voice analysis such that you can determine that it was Trayvon screaming? Or are you just going by the affidavit that Trayvons' mother said it was her son, as though she doesn't have a motive for saying that?
