So that makes it ok?

Even my 7 year old son knows that name calling is never ok. We don't even know these people and we feel its ok to call them fat, thug, porky etc. This is why kids bully in school. The parents are acting the same way at home. Nice role models.

Apparently you haven't seen the posts referring to Trayvon as "po' littlle Trayvon," a "thug," etc. Or calling those of us who support him as "Traybots," "IAmTrayvon," etc.

Or is it ok to speak derogatorily about a dead teenager (as well as those who support him) but not ok to speak derogatorily about the beady-eyed fat freak who killed him?

Will there be a riot if the verdict is not-guilty?

What was he doing for those 4 minutes? Maybe searching for Trayvon?

On TV one of the talking heads walked the distance Zimmerman claimed he went and he said it took him something like 60 seconds walking at a normal pace.

The phone dispatch times are here on page 8 of the police report pdf file:

Of course he was; that's why he wouldn't give dispatch a specific location and why he took his flashlight.
Since no one has claimed (yet) that Martin pulled Zimmerman out of his truck and dragged him behind the houses, the only logical conclusion is that, as he himself stated, Zimmerman "walked in the same direction" as Trayvon Martin.

I'm not doing the name calling, just pointing out that it comes from both sides.

The defense does Not have to PROVE self defense. The only defense burden is to offer facts from which his resort to force could have been reasonable. The evidence doesn't even have to reach the standard of probability.

If Nelson doesn't give the jury a chance to rule it was justifiable self defense, shame on her.

Like I said, name calling is never ok. The same goes for Tryvon Martin. Its immature and insensitive.

The beady-eyed soft, fat freak is alive to eat another day.
