GZ's priorities obviously changed between 2010 and 2013. He's unstable. In 2010, GZ was paid to do these things. Maybe it was part of his job description at that time. Maybe he had political aspirations then and wanted to make an impression in the local community and boost his resume. In 2013, he racially profiled TM, stalked him, confronted him knowing that an altercation could cause him to use his gun to shoot an obviously unarmed boy. He didn't show the boy the gun, so as not to discourage him from standing up for himself. He allowed TM to appear to get the upper hand, before shooting him. He didn't have to get out of that car and start a confrontation knowing that he was armed. He didn't have to insult TM. He didn't have to make the altercation a reality. He didn't have to shoot TM when TM was running away and screaming/pleading for his life. GZ is a mentally-unstable man. Who knows? Next week, he might be trying to sell single tissues of toilet paper on the street corner to elderly passersby.
GZ benefited from a lousy prosecution team, stupid, racially-biased jurors, and a deceptive defense. What a conniver. The man must now live the rest of his life in fear. I think inevitably, he will be dealt a fatal blow.
You are so wrong, you can't even get the year right!
One quick way to check yourself on this issue is to swap around the race of the men in question. First imagine the races are reversed with George being black and Treyvon being white. Think about it for awhile. Really, really think about it and just feel it. Then make both men white. Now try black. How have your feelings changed in each case.
It won't change anything but it will give you insight into yourself
Only the racists would think it makes a difference. That's why the GZ supporters are right on target with the jury decision being correct.
My problem has been since this story broke is why Zimmerman didn't listen to that 911 dispatcher...she told him to just let the police take care of it and not to pursue this...yet he defied the operator....this death was so wrong...Zimmerman wouldn't have to 'defend' himself if he just listened to the 911 operator....my guess is that the family will probably file a civil suit for $$...i doubt the justice department will do anything....also, i wasn't aware that certain neighborhood watch patrols allowed their members to bring firearms...normally they only are allowed a vid camera and phone.
Yet you really never paid attention to the whole call GZ made to the dispatcher did you? When he was asked if he was following the "suspect", GZ said yes, and the dispatcher said, "We don't need you to do that." Not really a command, was it? The dispatcher did however tell GZ to keep them informed as to what he is doing. How could he do that after TM ran around the corner of the building?

Now - you are being disingenuous. Was GZ so dumb that he needed a 911 operator to give him a COMMAND? Does anyone really believe that the dispatcher wanted GZ to follow Trayvon around the corner? A two year old could answer that one.
I'll bet you that today - GZ wishes he had stayed in the car like a reasonable and prudent person would have and should have done.

I am sure GZ wishes it had never happened, but he will never admit that he did anything illegal, because he didn't. Nothing illegal happened until someone threw the first punch, and most people believe it was TM that did that. Not that that even matters, as much as the fact that he was beating GZ to where GZ believed he could die if he didn't put a stop to it.

Did I say he should admit to anything illegal? I wouldn't either - if I were him; certainly not at this point.
However, when alone and his mind wanders back to ALL that has transpired this past year - yes, I'll bet he wishes he would have stayed put. Even Juror B37 felt that he 'took things too far'.
