I know, I know. He was a black male who has at least one picture, somewhere, on which he had a gold tooth. That certainly makes him a thug and potential menace to society. You are so right.

Which a concealed weapon permit requires him to do. It is the law!

So if it was concealed why would Trayvon be screaming for help? And since he was screaming for help why did zimmerman have to shoot him?

Come to think of it, would he even had a permit to carry one if his father did not intervene as far as clearing his record, considering zimmerman's past history of violence?

This whole thing has gotten out of hand and is just really disgusting. I was ready peoples replys over another news story about Zimmerman and Trayvon. It was real dishearting to read all of the racists comments on KTLA.com regarding the 911 tapes.
No one knows what each side is going through, how Zimmermans family is feeling or what Trayvons family is going through. And really how does the outcome of this affect anyone else but them.

Everyone can keep having "discussions" over what happens and rallys but why cant people do it in a civilized manor. What is the need for name calling especially mean words that involve race.

People dont know the impact of these types of things happening until it happens to them or a member of there on family. I am sure if Zimmerman or Trayvon was your child some people would not be taking the sides they have took. Everything is sad about this, a young boy (innocent or not) has lost his life, and a man could lose his freedom (innocent or not). The color of each person involved skin should not make a difference, white, black, mexican and asian kids are killed daily who speaks up for the rest of them. Only God can judge the actions of both these people on this sad day in which this all occured. This should really teach people to pay more attention to what their children are doing when they are not watching. And also teach other people in Zimmermans position to let the police do their job.
Either way this is a tragedy, but the name calling and the racist remarks are just out of hand. Instead of wishing bad things on these people wish that Trayvon rest in peace, and that truth (what ever it may be) prevails for Zimmerman.

Until they analyze Trayvon's voice against the 911 tape, you cannot say he is the one screaming.

And you can't say Zimmerman's father intervened - I'd like to see proof that he did. Many MANY people have charges dropped or lessened ... it's a pretty common.

Ok, I will go out on a limb here and ask this question. Why does'nt the SYG law work for zimmerman who has a gun and not for the person that does not? It has been proven that the person screaming for help was Trayvon so that being said who would be considered the aggressor?

I agree, why do they keep showing the old photo that makes him look like a sweet innocent kid. Instead of this one which tells you so much more about him?

Actually they already did.


His father had some influence rather it can be proven is another matter. It spoke to a couple of officers and they said that this type of interference is really common with those who are connected.


Issues of violence are not automatically dropped, not without outside help especially when trying to get a weapons permit
