Upset about what, Pedro? Why won't you admit what you are? Racists are hilarious. They can't think straight.

It's only a shame more thugs aren't shot when they attack others.
Actually if Zimmerman had listened to the 911 operator and stayed in his vehicle, none of it would have happened.

By all accounts Martin was simply on his way home from a run to the store. Speaking for my self I will never be ok with some stranger following me around at night. Zimmerman targeted Martin because he was a black kid wearing a hoodie. You can call him ok for that, but not me.

We only have Zimmerman's word for what really happened and he was caught lying many times and he changed his story a bunch of times. If Martin had been the survivor, and changed his story and got caught lying, all the Zimmerman supporters would be going crazy and rightly so.

It may have been a good shoot, or they just did a bad job prosecuting Zimmerman. One can not ignore Zimmerman's character flaws from before the incident or after. He is a hot head, he was a cop wanna be. He is the last person that I would want on a neighborhood watch.

Zimmerman wasn't told not to approach, and it wouldn't matter if he had been.



You have no basis for saying Trayvon was "doing nothing". He was a burglar, and he appeared to be casing houses. He wasn't "approached". He didn't "resist". He attacked.

Wonder why the headline didn't include the other defendants? He is also suing the media and prosecutors. He won't get anything from the family but stands a good chance of collecting. Did he do anything wrong? Did he not have the right to defend himself?

Zimmerman fell down a rabbit hole since then for sure. I doubt he will ever climb out.
He was not justified - he was just not found guity. The boy defended himself from a perv following him who did not announce himself nor follow protocols or police guidance. He is a loose cannon.

Self-defense works for one side, and one side only.

Houses in the neighborhood were constantly being robbed.

Each time the police arrived, they couldn't do anything because they had no idea where the perps went.

Zimmerman was acting within the law. He was trying to reduce crime in the neighborhood. He called the cops. He was only watching Trayvon.

Evidence backs up Zimmerman's side that Martin attacked him and he fired while on the ground with Martin over him.

As I've stated many times, Zimmerman is a tool; however, that does NOT cancel out that he acted lawfully as he was being a responsible member of his neighborhood that night.
