People are reading your comments and they are shocked that you're just okay with the death of a young man in the manner in which it occurred and that, frankly, you have missed the whole point. You are the one who keeps bringing up race. No one will deny this tragedy has spun out of control, that there are national characters trying to monopolize on this. No one will deny that there is nothing anyone can do to bring Trayvon back, and that, likely, because the way the Stand Your Ground law is written, Zimmerman may very well get off. I hope not since he was the catalyst for this, but he may well get off.
What's worse about your thought processes is that if in fact Trayvon was suspended from school because of drugs, then somehow he deserved what he got.
Of course your comments are not personal. It's because you don't care at all.

Of course Zimmerman could have chosen to not create a conflict where one wasn't warranted. Of the multiple calls Zimmerman made to 911, how many actually led to criminal behavior?
Again, are you really suggesting that "who started" the argument has any relevance at all? I think that the conflict started with the assault, which was initiated by Martin. If you don't want to get shot, do not initiate an assault.

Would everyone be more happy if Martin had killed Zimmerman? It appears that way and that many here are condoning assault and battery as a logical and normal means of problem solving. Here is the problem- assault and battery is a crime. Further, if one is assaulted and thier life is in danger, responding with lethal force is acceptable. Perhaps this will be a message to thugs everywhere.
Actually I would have been happy if zimmerman had called the police and stayed in his car. And I wasn't trying to be funny but every five minutes a different poster posts a different account of how the incident happened...if you all know the answers why are there so many different stories?
It was on the 911 tape. I listened to it and the police did not block his address or his telephone number. I am in the library now, so I can't post the link, but you can go to the Sanford Police Dept website and there is a link to the Trayvor Martin investigation. I was shocked too, but it was still on the 911 tape this morning.
Why would a 911 call for help have Zimmermans address on it? It should have been the address where he was calling from.
If they do list it for public consumption, that is completely irresponsible. Would they do the same to other victims?
Its amazing how you are willing to give zimmerman every benefit of the doubt but Trayvon not so much.
Not at all. Where have I said the kid was guilty?
I'm just countering all of the false and misleading info that I see. And there is a lot of it. So if that's giving somebody the benefit of the doubt, so be it.
Do you think some people who loudly voice their mind against Zimmerman without all the facts start to feel stupid, or do you think they are too ignorant to correct themselves?
