All the defense really needs to do is ask the jurors to assume they are in the same situation George was in. You are lying on your back, someone is on top of you, beating you with their fists. You bang your head on concrete, either from the beatings or from the person on top lift it up and pushing it back down hard. Have any of you ever banged your head hard enough to momentarily be concerned that you might have serious damage? Imaging you have no control over the fact that you are about to do it over again. Will the next time be the one that causes you to lose consciousness? How about the next one? The one after that? How long could you continue to let that happen?
Wouldn't happen to me.
That's because I see kids in baggie clothes, black or white, walking around all the time around 7 pm where I live, and they never arouse my suspicions or fear, even if they're walking slowly. It wouldn't occur to me to be suspicious of them, or follow them, or fear them. Even at midnight, I doubt I'd give them a second thought, unless they were engaged in overtly suspicious behavior, like crouched under a homeowner's window. (which I actually did see once, and even then I didn't follow the guy.)
When I was called that, I was preparing to shoot a free throw
at the foul line, I'm pretty sure he wasn't talking about my dad.
When I told him to keep his mom out of my backyard, it was on.
As much as I think that GZ should be held accountable for his irrepsonsibility and audacity, a part of me pitys him for his stupidity and ignorance which did not serve him well and was the catalyst in this horrible incident. These TM bashers have not shown once ounce of empathy for a dead teen that was walking home to his father.
Because they deem his life as worthless. I saw many posters do this before the majority of the facts came out. It bothers me that people are acting like this is some NBA Championship game. There are no winners here. Someone lost their child. Someone lost a brother. Zimmerman took a life; whether intentional or not, that will follow him for the rest of his life. His dreams of being a police officer may be impacted by this incident. If he is found guilty he's going to spend time behind bars. If he is found not guilty its unlikely he'll be able to go back to life status quo.
So all this cheering and booing for "Team Trayvon" and "Team Zimmerman" is disgusting. These are people's lives; not some reality tv show.

It's a shame you cared so little for the neighbor, who's window he was crouching under, that you couldn't be bothered to follow, observe and report his location to the police. I do hope your neighbor wasn't hurt and that anything stolen was replacable.

Why are you making stuff up? Ellemint only said something about "not following the guy".
Some of the recent comments today are a little premature. Kind of like rushing onto the field to decapitate the opposing players before the game has ended unfairly for you. Why don't you go run some laps, and come back tomorrow when we won't have Bernie to rile the groups.
Pretty sure the response will be "but that doesn't count, it didn't happen in the US" while also saying "what about that riot in that remote African village when the guy stole a potato?".
