Not sure what the flashlight had to do with it, it was not used as a weapon. There are 8 million CCW licenses in America, are you saying all those people walk around looking for confrontation? What you state is not evidence that he was expecting physical confrontation.

Rachel has been failed by the system and her parents and that is sad beyond words.
Yes it is. What is sadder, is that many still do the pity party concept, instead of rectifying the problem.

There were Vietnamese kids that were here 4 years that could speak better English and did better in school than those in Middle School that were born here.

A little "self-promotion?" An infomercial? Like that idiot yesterday? Or the guy who owns the gym where Zimmerman worked out at?

Off topic, nothing to do with the trial.

Why do you automatically assume Trayvon was faster than Zimmerman?

Also, why should Trayvon have ran? As a man, would you run from a guy following you?

Concealed carry gives the less physically aggressive and capable a chance to walk our streets and go about life in a civilized manner, rather than surrendering and living in fear of the most violent and vicious.
And this has to do with the trial.......how?

GZ told the police that his gun was in his back and that TM was straddling him at his armpits....this would have made it IMPOSSIBLE for TM to know that he had a gun let alone grab his gun

The only way that TM saw the gun was because GZ pulled his weapon on TM and threatened him. Upon seeing that gun TM naturally fought for his life.

George Zimmerman may have killed the only other witness to his crime...but God is watching.
Puleeeeez enough with the god will punish him....no matter what happened, this was not premeditated.

Don't believe everything Zimmie says - and give thought to what the police didn't ask.

It was not used as a weapon..... No marks on TM from a physical struggle.

This case is so boring. I'm surprised it makes local news in Orlando.

I hope the rioting makes for better viewing.
