As an investigator, evidence can clear you, or convict you.
It can point the finger at you, or away from you.

The evidence spoke.

That's as ****ed up logic as I've ever seen.

Violence....
No one can talk these days. You know, communicate.

So, if you think I'm following you, or you know damn well I'm following you, your fist move is to my nose?
So we have words, nice or strong, is your first move to my nose? I my be packing heat.... Are you going to ask nicely? Politely? Remember, I may be packing heat.

Do you think George assumed Trayvon was packing heat?

No, my first move is to walk quickly away. But I'm not a fighter and I've never been accosted before.

There wasn't a video of Nicole Brown getting her throat slashed by someone other than OJ Simpson -- the jury decided on the evidence provided them, that he wasn't guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

There are almost never videos of crimes and non-crimes. Like it or not, there was a trial and the jury made it's decision.

You implied Trayvon had every right to punch George in the nose and beat his head on the concrete, not walk away.

Yes, he was found not guilty of murdering a teen, doesn't change my opinion.

You do not understand what the word "demographics" means.

The poll merely shows the opinions of a few internet forum users. Nothing more.

Zimmerman killed Martin. But he didn't murder him.
