According to witnesses, Zimmerman was headed back to his vehicle when Martin attacked him. Pretty clear cut case of the law being in Zimmerman's favor. Martin made a very stupid mistake when he attacked Zimmerman.
According to the police report that was released last night too! All these crazies running their mouths are opportunists. They are NOT listening to facts and are totally ignoring them hoping that Zimmerman get's his due somehow. Zimmerman WAS placed in custody, brought to the PD and interrogated for a few hours. AFTER witnesses corroborated his story, they released him on self defense. It's that cut and dry folks! Trayvon attacked Zimmerman from behind when he was walking back to his car AFTER he was told to stand down.
It seems less and less is making sense these days. I am starting to wonder about our water quality. It seems the whole country has lost touch with any semblance of civil order.
A child was shot. The shooter should've been arrested, questioned, and if the circumstances showed there was negligence or intention, held until a judge can decide. We have a legal, judicial, and correctional system in place to handle this and the media freaks are not serving their public by blowing it out of proportion.
You must not know much about the law then. You can't just bash someone's head into the sidewalk, legally, just because someone has followed you, unless they in fact attacked you.
Indeed... it is a felonious assault, doesn't matter who started it. Once you get the upper hand in a fight you can't keep bashing the person as you will be the criminal now. Trayvon was slamming his head according to witnesses so Zimmerman fear for his life...
Nothing else really matters. Not the self-defense law. Not the races of those involved. What outrages me the most is the fact that Zimmerman was not automatically arrested for shooting a child and brought in for questioning.
Shouldn't a case where a child is shot to death be thoroughly investigated regardless? Why is it good enough for an adult to say, "He was trying to hurt me so I shot him" and that's that?
It makes absolutely no sense.
I am not defending Zimmerman and I doubt anyone would at this stage of the game, but Trayvon was not a child. He was 17, if this had been the other way around he would have been charged as an adult.
Again,let me make it very clear I am not defending what happened, I have my own ideas and I am guessing, eventually Zimmerman will be charged and probably even be found guilty of something like involuntery man slaughter.
when i go walking i look at the houses that i walk by too and look at their yards and stuff. that's called BEING NORMAL. i've yet to meet a person that DOESN"T do that.
also nobody has the right to stalk someone just because they look 'suspicious' again.... WHAT ABOUT HIM MADE HIM LOOK SUSPICIOUS.
trying to get people to admit that it was his skin color, because they have yet to give any other valid reason.
You have a minority victim mentality. gz has a wannabe cop, strangers are suspicious mentality. He found a guy wandering around, he didn't recognize in a neighborhood hit by burglaries to be suspicious. Would most people call 911 ? Nope. Would non-biased people conclude the only valid reason gz had was skin color ? Nope.
You and many of the others are letting the media dictate your opinion. The media has one objective, and it's not the truth. Everyone is jumping on this "he shot a defenseless kid" bandwagon. Well it is becoming more clear as to what happened and it's looking like this Trayvon guy was anything but a defenseless innocent kid, and it's looking like Zimmerman didn't chase him down. You and some of the others may want to pull the reins because it very well could become clear that you are backing the wrong horse. I also think it's absurd we have another thread on this subject. I guess OP feels his opinion is more valid than anyone elses.
Curious...how is it looking more and more like Trayvon isn't a defenseless kid? Did they discover a weapon on him?
Then why was he FOLLOWED? why is his body in a grave right now DEAD?
i'm trying to find out why zimmerman thought he looked suspicious?
Last time I checked it is perfectly legal to follow or walk behind someone on private property.
Last time I checked people had the right to walk around wherever they pleased without being assaulted.
Just because someone followed someone or asked questions, doesn't give the other party a right to pummel them.
