Don't you dare try to claim that the entire black community is as biased and illogical as you are being right now.
Sorry to disappoint you but I am that educated Black person

it did not need to be heard at all, as long as Zimmerman felt in fear for his life, then he is justified. going by the way your statement is, then maybe we should have jury trials for each and every cop shooting. if this would have been a cop shooting instead of a civilian, this case would have never seen the courtroom at all.

Why would Trayvon initiate a confrontation when he'd been trying to lose Zimmerman?
Good question. Now answer this one - why would Zimmerman call the police before the confrontation if he wanted to be the vigilante or was out to harm Trayvon?

Why are you bringing this up?? What does getting high have to do with what happened that night? Why you guys engage in such futile side arguments that should have no bearing on this entire situation is beyond me.

There are politicians, celebrities, and other public figures doing drugs, as we speak. It's an unfortunate aspect of our country.

Then you have to demonstrate that GZ had the intent to kill TM when they encountered each other.

Is this serious?

That's going to be bad publicity for skittles. I like skittles.

No you don't. You just have to demonstrate that you felt in danger.

Yes, it's serious. Google it. It's also known by slang name of "purple drank." But it doesn't have to be skittles specifically. The candy is used to make it taste better.
