Here it is again. The blind allegiance to GZ word. The kid who's a guest in the neighborhood and tried to escape from GZ is the one who instigated the confrontation. The guy who disregarded police direction and pursued the stranger was the unfortunate victim of unchecked aggression.

Why does that make undeniable, unquestionable sense to you?

Second, maybe nobody cares about your approval/disapproval. Justice has been served in this case and that is all that matters.
You are definitely confused. But that is your problem, not mine.

This is not a pissing match. While I am disappointed at the verdict, I accept that the prosecution did not do a good job presenting a good case. At this point, I will continue to pray for Trayvon's family and also pray that their son is now in the presence of God.

I can't even begin to understand how someone would say the proper response to being trailed by a stranger, is to smile and ask them if there was a problem?

I have done just that if the stranger isn't acting like he's going to rob me. Even then I just look him in the eye and ask "what's up?" Martin instead just attacked Zimmerman.

And do you wish you lived in South Africa, where blacks reigned and the mixed race "knew their place"?

Zimmerman was getting his sorry ass beat by a kid and decide to shoot the kid in the heart. He should see Trayvon's face every night before he drifts off to sleep.

If Zimmerman believed in his innocence, why didn't he testify?

Such an ignorant comment.

And? That means nothing. What if GZ pushed TM? Told him to get on the ground? The pro-GZ crowd has made up enough narratives that go against what both people actually did that night. How about one that fits the MO that GZ already established?

If you and I get into a fight the cops will look at me and then look at you. If I have injuries and you don't the cops and most people will assume that you started the fight and then you will be taken to jail.

Again... No police officer gave George Zimmerman direction and according to the tape and his testimony when directed to do so, Zimmerman began proceeding back in the direction of his vehicle...
