You were there ?



How would the City-Data klan-a-palooza post if it the races were reversed . . .

White kid walking through Black neighborhood and Black man with a history of violent encounters jumps out of a car and provokes/attacks the white kid because the Black guy wanted to know what the kid was doing in 'their' neighborhood?

Mods would be on OT with all the infractions they would be giving out.

you just can't make stuff up...

hear, let me try. Zimmerman complied with the dispatcher, got into his truck and went home...Treyvon followed him to his house and drug him back to the apartment complex and began beating Zimmerman there. Zimmerman had no choice and had to shoot Treyvon in self defense.

that was fun. made up, but who cares.

Why not our President has talked about "taking guns to a party" and we all know he was so proud of his drug use he wrote a book about it.

Personal attacks on me doesn't matter. The facts remain Trayvon's character had nothing to do with the events that ultimately resulted in his death.

My baby didn't do nuffin'...
If the defense tries to use this in court, then they are idiots. It basically doubles down that Treyvon fits a stereotype, and therefore enhances the claim that Zimmerman went after him based on a stereotype (see, see, see Zimmerman was right to chase the guy!). And being it is pictures on a phone that may be taking out of context, I'm sure the Prosecution will get this waved as immaterial.

I'm honestly now fearing that Zimmerman has a crap lawyer...this is a stupid move.

A slimy defense effort to taint the jury pool. gz has a criminal record, a past history of violence, took Adderall. tm didn't deserve to die.

That should pretty much cover the bases.
Children don't smoke weed and take pictures of themselves holding guns.

Oh, those photos are very incriminating. GZ should be able to just walk out of court once those photos are introduced as "evidence".

Photo of TM with no shirt on and a cap. Check (Note to self: don't take pictures of hubby on the beach)
Photo of TM between two guys. Check (looks to me he is trying to break up something - never mind)
Photo of smoke coming out of TM's mouth and nose. - Check (any proof of what he was smoking?)
Photo of a plant. - Check (Any proof that it belonged to TM?)
Photo of someone with a gun in their hand. - Check (Any proof that hand and gun belongs to TM)
Photo of TM's face showing his gold teeth. - Check (Well, that seals it!!!! Gold teeth!!!!)

Sounds like TM is guilty of...............of....................of......... ..........what???

You'll never get the bed-wetters to actually listen to the 911 tape. If they did, they would know that Z was out of his truck and following Martin. When the dispatcher hears the sound of him running she finally asked if he was following him, to which he answers yes. And only then was told "we don't need you to do that", at which point you hear him stop running.

Yet the uninformed never want to let facts ruin a good rant.

The facts of what was on Martin's cell phone enhance the defense in that in supports the character or actions of someone that would attack an innocent man walking back to his truck.
