I agree completely.
TM was no child and was no saint.
Just as GZ is no hero or or innocent bystander.
He initiated the evenings events with his actions.
What I disagree most with is when people say GZ has helped the pro-gun movement. He gave the anti-gun nuts a martyr.
I am sick of hearing how he was badly beaten. He in fact was not.
I believe he was afraid and I believe by law he was entitled to defend himself.
The man is a liar and he is stupid.

"insignificant" to who??

Was he supposed to wait until he was dead to react? Or semi-conscious? Or for TM to get the gun??

Remind me again of any previous charges and convictions against him.

why is it OK for you to support your bias with speculation and assumptions but when others do it you call em out

Circumstantiol goes both ways. There was reasonable doubt. Can't convict!

The irony is that if black defendants started to get convicted on the same flimsy circumstantial evidence that they want Zimmerman convicted on, if the standard of conviction for black defendants were the same as the standard they want for Zimmerman, there would be a huge national outrage about it (and they would be right).

Sure he is, otherwise Zimmerman would have been convicted

Goes both ways doesn't it.

440 pages that basically confirms the jury's decision. Reasonable doubt is present, so can't convict despite having some misgivings about Zimmerman. Innocent until proven guilty, and the prosecution was unable to do so.

And then go on Hannity, and with a big, poop-eating grin, lie about never having even heard of "stand your ground."

Hell, even Hannity (whom I can't stand) looked incredulous.

Sounds like a good waste of time and money

Depending on my finances, I will also be making a few contributions.

Hopefully some good can come out of Trayvon's death.
