I wish there were more of these in Florida.

It's a shame that Sun Thinker's post is being ignored.

There are some very good points made in a concise manner.

Sun Thinker, I tried to rep you, but have to spread it around.

You're right. Very reasonable and well-thought out post.

We (and, yes, that also means YOU) have no way of knowing what was or wasn't in Zimmerman's mind when he went out after Trayvon that night. He may very well have been planning on being, judge, jury, and executioner. Or not.

What we DO know is that his actions caused the death of a teenager that night and he should be held accountable.

trayvon was a teen, biut he was also a perp the second he started beating on another person, even if george was following him. if trayvon would have just kept moving along, then he would still be alive today.

I agree that there should be an investigation with what happened, but as soon as the cops said self defense as it should have been, george should have been let go.

instead we have a politically correct da trying their best to get in the good graces of everyone but the state of florida, we now have a really messed up case.

now I hope george wins and sues the da's butt off for false prosecution.

No, it's called "stalking" if the person being followed feels threatened.

And we have no way of knowing this either. We don't know how far Zimmerman was willing to go to detain Trayvon and we also don't know who took the first punch or what was said. Unless you really believe that a kid who's been shot IN THE HEART is going to say, "You got me."

Hopefully the truth will come out at trial and hopefully the jury looks at ALL the evidence and not just what Zimmerman, who has proven himself a liar, says happened.

We actually do know. Far enough that the teen is dead.
