Tell me about it. Half the time I couldn't tell you my wife's cell phone number, other than "speed dial 1". I don't use it every day. Much like Z wouldn't have a need to use or know the names of other streets in his subdivision. I lived in a sub once...never knew the names of any streets other than the one I lived on or drove on into/out of the subdivision. Others? Heck no.
Again......
....as the neighborhood watch guy, and obviously one who made it a habit to report suspicious activity, don't you think it would have been his responsibility to know the names of the streets he's supposedly "watching".......all three of them?
Does anybody know if he ever had a problem with street names any of the other many times he called to report suspicious activity?
The prosecution just missed the opportuinity to say that if, in fact, GZ was reaching for his phone in TM's presence, why wouldn't TM assume that he was reaching for a weapon as opposed to a phone? Who reaches into their pocket when they are in a possible aggressive confrontation and not expect the other person to be on the defensive and ready to react? Maybe GZ was really reaching for the phone and not his gun, but how the hell is one supposed to know that at that moment?
This really says something sad about the black community that riots are expected. If I were black, I would be embarrassed as hell that people assume my race would riot. Says a GREAT deal about the issues WITHIN the black community that need to addressed.
There's a lot of anger in the black community...this is their idea of "justice" for TM.

Nobody is buying that premise...even if they refuse to admit it.

Especially when Zimmerman himself thought Trayvon was acting suspiciously when he claims he saw Trayvon reach for something from his waistband (as stated on the NEN call).
I never knew following somebody within the parameters of neighborhood watch was "deadly force"..
Now I know!
If someone approached me while I existed while black and decided to provoke me into a confrontation, I would defend myself. The fact that one man had a gun and one didn't is the only reason why Zimmerman felt empowered to start the fight. The provocation and deadly force wielded by Zimmerman doesn't sound like paramaters of neighborhood watch to me. Sounds like vigilante who has been watching too many Clint Eastwood movies.

WRONG. It says something about the ignorant *racists* who expect us to riot. I find that sad about the white community.
This just makes the black community look bad and simply furthers the notion that a black kid like Trayvon was indeed a violent thug.
