If this story and the last 210 cases have taught me anything it's that George Zimmerman might not have survived the attack that night had he not been legally carrying a weapon to defend himself with.
Trayvon forgot the #1 rule of how to win any gun fight, have a gun. Just because you're younger, in better shape and faster doesn't mean you'll win every time you ambush somebody, eventually someone will defend against your attack and you won't get to eat your Skittles.
What was this teen doing far away from home at two in the morning in a neighborhood that was recently plagued by crime?
Why didn't his parents know and have control of where this teen was?
You're going to think it is just a typical high school student, unless you're a hard core racist.
No one banned the wearing of a crucifix when Jim Jones, Mark David Chapman, and a whole host of others abused religion in the 70's- 80's cult climate. Present tense shall we ban Catholicism because of the behavior of rogue priests? Shall we ban the cloth because Bishops are misrepresenting the cloth? They're being thugs using the pretense of politics to undermine me (and all women) navigating secular life. Father Fledger (St Sabinas) is a thug to white Catholic & white Methodist women. We're not important relative to his 'target audience' so wiping his feet on us as the bane of his existence/ root cause of evil is perfectly acceptable?
To be clear: He's not liberal. He's not Catholic. He's not anything he claims to be. He's a black separatist with a white face hiding behind the collar. The teachings of Jesus are nowhere to be found in his words or his deeds and he gets a free pass from the Vatican.

It's a war against racism, and sexism and ism ism for me. ISM doesn't belong in authority of any kind.

Oh yeah,there isn't any.
How about the phone conversation with Martins girlfriend?
Yeah,you forgot about that one.
He's based his opinion on FOX's 'original' anonymous witness. Selective attention, selective enforcement... lockstep consistency right to the bitter end. Blame children for what all other adults in this boys life were up to. Trayvon pays the price for their egregious unmitigated narcissism and utter neglect.

Strongly disagree. Stand their ground is their right as per Florida law. Women are free to declare open season on every threatening male walking past them too. Lock and load ladies!!!
OR, perhaps the state of Florida will reconsider turning the streets into a war zone and stop punishing people who engage in peaceful constructive behavior rather than reward those engaged in destructive violent behavior???
Lying liars and the lies they tell:

All the phyisical evidence seemed to match what Zimmerman and the witness or witnesses said and that is why he wasn't arrested at this point.
Supposedy Zimmerman said Trayvon had run off, he went back to the car and Trayvon had jumped him.
Anyway, this explains why there was no arrest yet and some may not get the desired outcome in this case.
I think I read Jackson is out there fanning the flames, the New Black Panthers have a dead or alive poster on Zimmerman.
This is not a good situation.
Trayvon was on suspension from school at the time of his death, broke the nose of Zimmerman and cut open his head before Zimmerman shot him.
Does Trayvon have a Juvy record?
What was this teen doing out buying skittles at 2AM as a minor far from his home while being out suspended from school?
Evil people don't deserve residence in this nation.

Too bad that court won't decide about the entire legislative & judiciary body of Florida immune from prosecution. When they author a bad law and LE is tasked with enforcing retardation/ neglecting LE, why are they blamed for the pen not in their hands? Inquiring minds wanna know.
So enough with BS arguments from the right claiming citizens are at war with the PD. The right wrote the lame laws instigating strife and these characters need comeuppance in court. The fiscal & punitive immunity afforded those wielding authority is unacceptable.

Now see, it's patently obvious that the police report wasn't read. It wasn't 2 a.m. at all. Trayvon's dad knew where he was...at the nearest
convenience store, buying Skittles and Arizona Iced Tea. And he had every right to believe that doing so should have been safe. Too bad they didn't know that a self-appointed and armed watchdog who had a gun despite a prior assault on a PO was going to chase and confront the young man, then shoot and kill him.
It just seems weird. That the guy doing the killing would be the one calling the police. If you want to kill someone in cold blood, you don't have the police on the line, you do it as secretively as possible. None of it makes any sense to me.

At least they were able to get him on the 911 call screaming help while in fear for his life before defending himself with a firearm.
And since we're tossing out all types of wild speculation anyway (i.e., a mysterious third party helping Martin "jump" Zimmerman), how about the possibility that Zimmerman approached Martin with his gun drawn? That scenario seems very plausible to me.
And to me as well. He clearly needed to prove himself as some important
character in the community; how sad that killing a young man has made him a victim in the eyes of some.

It was not 2 in the morning, but if you repeat something often enough in LaLa Land, it becomes the truth...kind of like clicking the heels of your ruby slippers. It was 7 PM. The victim had a cell phone which his father repeatedly attempted reaching him on...but he could not respond...he was shot to deaath. Cops didn't bother to answer his phone either.

Zimmerman was going back to his vehicle, had lost sight a while ago of the Martin teen when he took off running.
While going back to the truck Zimmerman was jumped from behind by the Martin teen and was according to a witness or witnesses was being beaten to a pulp.
If Zimmerman did NOT shoot he himself would be dead.
Self defense with or without this law.

I was reading some of the news reports out there.
Witnesses didn't specify the time, but some of the news stations were saying 2am.
I can't take off the ruby slippers though because my three year old has just started watching the Wizzard of Oz on the Cartoon Network right now.
