Was Zimmerman actually getting back into his truck and going about his business?? Or indeed going to the mailboxes to meet the PD?? And then ambushed?? In the process, getting his nose broken and his head cut open??
Was Zimmerman yelling for help in the process??? If he was, would that indicate that he didn't want to shoot??
Is it a little odd that a 17 year old school aged teen is going to get skittles @ 2am??
I disagree and if the mere presence of federal authorities can lead to trumped up charges against an individual or dept. I fear for the future of this country. I truly do.
Yeah, I fear for this country is it is suddenly legal to follow people, claim they are acting suspiciously and then execute them in the middle of the street.
Also, a fair point...since many want to tag the hate crime on him....His mothers side of the family is Peruvian...Many Peruvians, by CD's logic, would be considered "Black"... So wouldn't that make it pretty much impossible for it to be a hate crime??
Or does Zimmerman hate his black family members too? Or wait...they aren't black...they're white......wait...
Hey, looks like that Arizona "shading" chart might come in handy now after all right??
The slimebag who gunned him down was arrested for getting into a brawl with a police officer and was also involved in a domestic violence dispute with a girlfriend. He also defaulted on credit card debt. Notice how the pic you almost always see of Zimmerman is a police mug shot?

Which one would you rather have as a son-in-law?
It's obvious Zimmerman was incredibly jealous and envious of the young Trayvon. Most likely he was jealous of all teenagers because of their youth, and he took his misery out on this young man.
What gets me about the whole situation is we never hear about senseless black on black murders but a non black kills a black and the world is coming to an end. As a country we are totally screwed until this race crap is no longer an issue.
And who is screaming the loudest? The left wing Democrats, the same people the black community keeps putting in office who are not helping the black people at all. Give people free stuff and they will never question your real motives.
Were is Sharpton and Jackson on this one:
A 13-year-old boy who police say was doused with gasoline and lit on fire last week while walking home from school is recovering from first-degree burns to his face and head.
The boy was just two blocks from his home in Kansas City Tuesday when two teenagers began to follow him and then attacked him, his mother, Melissa Coon, said.
Police have described the suspects as black 16-year-olds, while the victim is white.

You're clearly trolling. Martin was killed around 7pm, not 2am. You would know this had you read the police report.
Everything else you said doesn't even matter. The statute adopts a "reasonableness" standard, and if a jury of his peers finds that Zimmerman did not "reasonably" believe it to necessary to use lethal force against Martin, then he goes to jail. Period.

"We were told it's a hate crime," Coon told KTLA.
