Zimmerman couldn't even give the family a respectable apology or condolences.

Right. And Zimmerman was the only person who had been arrested on charges of violence in the past.

No, it wasn't. You were suggesting that the rules didn't apply to Tyson because he was a professional fighter. As such, he could handle any possible "reach" advantages of his opponent. My point is that his opponents were professionals also, so your point was irrelevant.

Well given what we know, most likely Martin struck first, as Martin didnt have any other injuries. Soo, theres that. But you can just throw that logic out the window and continue on with your bs.

The same posters who were personally offended when people called Trayvon a "thug" are the same posters who are saying vile and ignorant things about GZ and calling for a public stoning.

Everyone said all they wanted was GZ arrested and tried.

Well, he was tried. He was found not guilty. And rightfully so.

I do feel for TM's parents. They lost a son - and I'm sure they don't want to come to grips w/ the fact that he had a hand in his own death.

I also feel for GZ ... he was tarred & feathered by the MSM and it still continues.

But America has a short frickin' memory. They'll forget about GZ sooner rather than later ... and I hope GZ can find a way to live out the rest of his life peacefully.

But mostly, the LIES, LIES, LIES.
People who lie have things to hide.
Hmmmmmmm. Makes me wonder just exactly which one is most like the president's son. One would look like him, the other sounds like him. (According to you.)

He already did last year and they rejected it.

I don't for a second believe that GZ was following TM to lead the police to him. If so, he should have done so from his car, not on foot. My gosh, there are only TWO OR THREE STREETS in the neighborhood.
As you can see there was no way to observe the teen when he went behind the houses. If he wanted to report the whereabouts when police arrived he had to get out of the car.
Also the girl testified that TM told her he was at the back porch of home which is at the bottom of that T. Why did he walk all the way back up to the intersection of the T? That's when he shares responsibility in all of this.
