You know, after reading that article, is it any wonder why Z would focus on and be suspicious of young black males?

Detectives approached my friend and laughed...that the conqueror was playing the victim...anyway they took the two thugs away and set us free..


A shrewd person knows how to set things up...anything is possible.
Wow, you are really reaching a bit aren't you?

Did Trayvon shoot him with his skittles?
You are a little late to the disscusion, go back and read through the posts and update yourself. All you state has been disscussed already.

Has anyone posted any facts on this, other than that sanford covered it up?

Arrests are not prohibitive, convictions are.

Dude, there is no one to blame for Zimmerman's actions except Zimmerman.

I think the "Stand your ground" law is irresponsible and a bit whacky, but that still doesn't put the onus on anyone other than the shooter.

I've owned guns for nearly my entire life. I've read lots of Guns and Ammo. I've been an NRA member. I'm a military vet (US Army Airborne Infantry unit). I've had LOTS of exposure to firearms and machismo.

I have never been anywhere REMOTELY close to considering chasing some kid (who was doing nothing illegal) down and attempting to question/detain him, let alone shooting him.

If Zimmerman is a whack-job, it ain't the fault of magazines, the NRA or even the silly laws of the State of Florida.

Here is the PDF link of his arrests with the written and typed statements...

http://www.flcourts18.org/PDF/Press_...t_redacted.pdf

Also, here is the link for the documents released so far...

Eighteenth Judicial Circuit Courts - Brevard and Seminole Counties Florida

The documents are not in any kind of order...

CR-RESISTING OFFICER WITH VIOLENCE
BATTERY ON LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER

I edited my post because it was much too long, listing the case number, etc., but the charges are listed here

Then click on "All Case Records Search" and enter his name. Click on the case number for additional information.

In that DV case on his prior I bet there would be info on how he got that charge reduced. Interesting.

He is an adult so "expunged" is NOT possible, or at least it shouldnt be....ever.
Records are only sealed or expunged for juveniles, or if the charges were completely dismissed, which was NOT the case for GZ.
I believe the charge was plea-bargained down to a misdemeanor, then he went to that anger management class as he was a first time offender. I don't know how these adult diversion programs work, but I know a couple of adults who had drug/alcohol arrests who did this and their records are supposedly clean.

The links about the plea-bargaining are in some of the other Zimmerman/Martin threads.
