It's not the schoolyard. You can't pout and point your finger.."but, but, HE started it!!!" Zimmerman sounds like an ***hole, but just because he started following someone doesn't mean that he has to lose his life or be seriously injured getting beat down. From the information that has come out so far, I'd say Zimmerman made the right choice when under attack (even though he made the wrong one initially).

So far we're not dealing with riots, so let's not jump the gun here.

There is no proof that Zimmerman had a broken nose. And cuts are usually par for the course when you're engaged in a fist fight.

Zimmerman's injuries don't prove that Trayvon beat him first, they only prove that Trayvon beat him best.
Kind of odd, you say Trayvon beat him best, the kid is dead so it didn't win him much.

Violence is rampant in the black community. The rap music disrespecting women, cops and each other.

Years ago , my parents were giving out candy for halloween, and a bunch of black guys, they were not kids pushed their way into the house, took every piece of candy and left. They then proceeded down the street to the store where an ole man ran the store.. they went in and took what ever they wanted off the shelves for their treat.. no one white ever did this.. just some black guys coming into a mostly all white neighborhood to act like hoods and scared my parents and the ole guy in the store. This was in the 60's.. my father and mother worked in business with many blacks and were never scared and this scared both of them.

Well...
One had a felony, the other had a carry permit.

Maybe you'll let someone follow you and menace you. I won't.

Zimmerman was no threat, but Martin was. You people are unbelievable.

Hmmm. Zimmerman was walking around following someone, you know, from behind, AND called the cops on him. He's a wannabe cop who harassed an unarmed for no reason.
