VERY INSIGNIFICANT INJURIES.
Again, until what point was GZ supposed to wait before taking action??

Who's trying to take down Zimmerman?

I'm donating to organizations that are working towards repeal of several laws which made this verdict possible and Zimmerman a free man.

I accept the verdict. I don't agree with it and I'm disappointed in it but now my focus will be on looking for ways to help prevent something like this from happening again.

Zimmerman is free to go on about his life - and you are free to continue to keep sending him money.

No, all we know is that GZwas following TM and then the two of them had some sort of confrontation and TM was apparently better at fighting ... till GZ pulled out his gun. We don't really know, because there are no witnesses, who attacked who initially. And THAT is crucial to the case.

Which is why, I suspect, the jury had to find GZ "not guilty." By the way, "not guilty" doesn't actually mean "innocent." It simply means that the prosecution didn't prove BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that GZ was guilty of murder or manslaughter.

There's nothing wrong with acting in self defense. You are allowed to defend yourself if someone tries to kill you or inflict great bodily harm on you. If a woman had shot a rapist in self defense, would you argue that she would not have had the confidence to walk to the convenience store in the middle of the night without her gun and that therefore she brought the attempted rape on herself and is guilty?
Scuffing on knuckles?
He had a 1/4 by 1/8 inch abrasion on his left ring finger...... No apparent bruising, no blood. Try simply rinsing blood off your hands. It doesn't rinse off, you need to wash it off.

His reenactment said he pulled his gun and just shot. He was too close to aim using sights.

After the shot he said he didn't even realize he hit TM.

Ok. I missed something. Thought it had to do with people pursuing civil rights cases against him.

I dont have issue with taking a look at laws. But Id be very careful with that. I wouldnt want the laws to basically do in those who would want to defend themselves, even if it means using a legal gun.

You know, the old 'flight or fight' syndrome.

Trayvon already tried the 'flight', what else was there to do?
You have ZERO proof....not even a ounce of logic that points to Trayvon being trapped.

"Fight or flight" only applies to the aggression as the last resort.

Are you talking about tm getting away with the crimes of vandalizing school property and possession of marijuana ? Not biggies, but he got away with them.
