Really? Someone in the neighborhood asks what youre doing and youre just going to punch him? Don't be surprised when that person you punched A. presses charges b. knocks you out. c. stabs/shoots you.

This whole case seems to be a big mess. A lot of pieces don't line up right and unfortunately we only have one, possibly two, people's word on what happened. I can't see Zimmerman being proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

If I lived in a community where I knew everyone and someone seemed out of place, I think I have every right to ask if they need help or whats going on without being assaulted. I can ask whatever I want, its up to that person how they respond. And their response will determine my set of actions.

That's the problem with jumping on a bandwagon while the wheels are still spinning, you don't know where it's headed and it might even collide with the truth.
Self defense my foot. Why was there such need for it to begin with?

No one saw how the fight began. Tables could have turned. Seems the fat 28 year old with no job that lived at home with momma tried to pick a fight on a small black teen and ended up getting his ass whooped, cried for help then shot the kid.

Yeah self-defense.

While your claim is laughable, at least you admit that it is a guess. So in other words, not facts and/or reliable. Thanks.

What do I claim about his injuries? Why do you persist in interjecting yourself into conversations that have nothing to do with you? You're having enough of a hard time supporting your own claims.

Just give it up already. You insinuated the report was false because it is based on Zimmerman's accounts. Do you honestly think people are that stupid? You said it, you made the claim, now OWN it! BTW, I already provided the evidence.. Here it is again in case you didn't catch it the first time:

OMG...it's like arguing with a child!

The police report= Zimmerman's statement.

Do we now take a suspect's statements as truth?

I'd be suspicious if a strange kid was outside my house that late. The left wants everybody to lock their doors, hide, and pray the bad man goes away.
It doesn't work like that. Its ok to be sispicious, especially with all the stuff going on these days.
I'd be extra suspicious if I saw a black kid on my block, no blacks near my neighbohood for whatever reason(property taxes maybe) but every break in we've had the last few years have been black kids.
It is what it is and that's how I've been conditioned.
If you think I'm going to risk my family's safety just to be nice you're stupid.
I'd expect to be treated the same way if I was caught in their hood, but I know I'd act civil when confronted.

You are too much baby doll. You are way over the top of a spin meister. Have fun with your dishonest lifestyle...

Maybe he was an OWS protestor.

All I am saying is that Trayvon was not a 100% innocent victim.
That is all I am saying, despite your efforts to twist it into my saying something else.
But where's the drama in that, right?
My only problem with your stance is that, outside of Zimmerman and Trayvon, we don't know how the fight started. If Trayvon started the fight, then I agree that he is culpable in what transpired. However, if Zimmerman started the fight, Trayvon was within his rights to defend himself.

Since we don't know which way this went, how is it possible to assign blame to Trayvon? Why not just withhold blame entirely?
