Trayvon had every right to turn the tables and approach Zimmerman. We simply don't know who said what at that point, because there ARE NO WITNESSES other than the defendant. The only other person who was there is dead and in the ground. We have no idea who said what, and we have no idea who attacked who first or why.
I know you're smarter than to believe this, even though you've repeated it several times.

So...............assuming we don't know, that's even more reason for George to be acquitted. We don't put people in prison for 30 years when "we don't know".

Who cares if his nose was broken or not? What matters is that it was evident that he was getting hit in the face. For self defense you don't even have to have evidence of severe injury, only the fear of severe injury is enough. The evidence of previous injury is additional confirmation to allow self defense against someone still threatening to do more bodily harm.

If he had broken into cheers and smiles, you would have said he was celebrating being a murderer.

No matter what he does, you and others will find fault. As long as he remembers that and doesn't attempt to act like people think he should act, he'll be fine.
You're right. He should feel bad about being a murderer and let the right-wingers do the celebrating.

GZ carried a loaded weapon so that he would not have to man up and fight clean. How do you know how he confrionted GZ? He admitted to reaching into his pocket in front of TM. How was TM supposed to know that GZ carrried his gun under his jacket? Would you not attempt to defend youself if you thought that someone was reaching for their weapon? GZ did not identify himself and he had more that one opportunity. He was hoping for a confrontation and there is no other explanation for his refusal to defuse the situation by simply stating his business.

Excellent question!

Answer: porky had a gun. Why hurt your hand when you can just expend a cheap bullet?

One punch and porky had the gun out, if not before the punch.

He wasn't going to 'let this one get away'.

I have a really hard time with people on this board what cannot stop the name calling of either Treyvon or Zimmerman. Especially when they attacking someone for their appearance. For the one person who keeps calling Zimmerman "porky". I have been looking at your profile picture. You if anybody should not be insulting people for their looks. Just saying.

But the same goes for those who keeps calling Teyvon a thug. Knock it off. Non of us know these people. And it is quit disrespectful to his parents to call him that. You may not think they read this, but the truth is, you just don't know.

I am no liberal and I am a gun owner, I also have a CCW. I feel GZ deserved to be acquitted not because he is innocent of wrong doing, but because the state failed to prove he was guilty of the crime in which they charged GZ. I honestly believe GZ was afraid for his life. I also believe that he initiated the problem, he profiled, he followed , he violated the rules of his own watch group. he was caught lying multiple times.
He is fortunate that there were no witnesses to what really happened. many guilty people have walked due to lack of witnesses.
This is exactly what I thought. He was racial profiling. And a crappy cop that shouldn't be one. The law was on his side this time. I don't condone the young boy smashing his head either.

If Porky had his gun out before the punch why was Soon to be ventilated Thugvon on top of him?

I get the very strong feeling MypeopleHolder is going to soon announce charges??????
Well the FBI didn't find anything so Holder is wasting time and money. Hard to believe that racist terrorist defender still has a job
