Zimmerman being the man he is with a gun all powerfull and all thought this person would not fight back but he did. unfortunatly the only witness is dead and he cant speak for himself so zimmerman will go on a long trial and get set free for something he instigated.
we know thats not what happened. it wasnt a surprise confrontation, martin knew he was being followed.

im hearing that zimmerman will be acquitted but you never know.

right he knew he was being followed and started walk fast not run so zimmerman said treyvon looked like he was up to no good because he was walking and talking on the phone and possibly on drugs. and that gave him the right to confront him? the last i heard this is a free country and you can walk wherever you want treyvon was not trespassing or doing anything that would have given zimmerman the right to confront him. such a shame this guy is gonna get off. but he will have to live the rest of his life with the fact he killed a child.

oh if you wanna donate to a good cause:The Real George Zimmerman

whats with all the exclamation marks? take a deep breath.

what is the timeline according to you where martin told zimmerman not to follow him and then he continued to follow him? im not sure thats a factual representation of what happened. still, i doubt it would still be legal to punch him even if you told him not to follow you. not at least until he followed you onto your own private property.

Are you kidding me? He approached this KID in an aggressive manner according to all accounts and asked him what he was doing there and then asked him for ID to prove it. It is not like he politely approached Trayvon and advised him that he did not like the color of his hoodie and said thank you have a nice day. This was all after being told by 911 operators not to follow him and not to get out of his car. At that point he becomes the aggressor regardless of who threw the first shot. If you ask me, if Trayvon did throw the first punch I would say that it was self defense for him. He was minding his own business walking home from the store...it was Mr. Zimmerman who chose a confrontation.

If you really believe the BS that are spewing on this thread then I am really glad that NJ does not have easily obtained concealed weapons permits. The LAST resort should be to shoot somebody, and shooting someone after maybe taking a punch from a 17 year old kid after you have been stalking him like an animal is not an appropriate response....and you should be ashamed of yourself if you think it is.

oh, i didnt realize he approached him in "an aggressive manner." that changes everything!

i wouldnt ask you what you think because you seem to think your personal opinion trumps the law. "i think its self defense even if martin threw the first punch." well, thankfully you arent a judge and judges are supposed to follow the law.
