He didn't have to be able to beat someone up....He carried. Maybe that is why he carried....because he was so lousy w/ a punching bag. Maybe terrorizing teens was the way he got his jollies, got his validation.

And Trayvon was talking about buying a gun, being a gangsta, buying drugs, fighting, getting thrown out of his house by his mother and getting high.

Did GZ posts shots of himself blowing Marijuana smoke out of his mouth, post pics of pot plants, post video feed of street fighting, post on FB about buying Codine or DMX? Like TM did?

My opinion is that both parties were doing nothing illegal up to the point of physical contact, or inciting contact.

There is no evidence Zimmerman started the physical contact, or incited such that solicited a physical response from Martin.

The fact that people have had 16 months to get the correct facts and some people are still calling his dad a judge makes me want to bang my head against a wall.

These threads help me understand how Obama got re-elected. Some people aren't interested in knowing the truth, they prefer the false emotional narrative.

I had trouble understanding her, but wasn't surprised after listening to her interview w/Bernie. Her looks, irrelevant. Honestly, with some questions lawyers ask, I want the witness to say, what a stupid question.

Plus no matter if the criminal charges were dropped to misdemeanors, he did shove a police officer and resist arrest. Those are not the actions of a passive non-violent person.
You know what I have heard, with my own ears, law enforcement say about DV? "We try not to get involved because, usually the woman pulls back and drops charges or ends up defending the husband/boyfriend even after the emergency call."

GZ's GF did drop charges. You can go back and listen to O'Mara talk about charges being dropped. So, don't get all emotional over DV. Check out the GF and find out why she dropped charges?

Why? Did he have a history of terrorizing teens?
