If he had minded his own business and left the kid alone it would have been a moot point.

Just reminding people. This was a small community that was surrounded by a wall and a gate requiring code entry. People in this community knew each other very well and who was visiting whom sort of thing. I knew this place well.

Trayvon was not staying in the community but the one next door. He climbed over the wall, went through this community, then climbed over the wall on the other side to take a short cut to the convenience store. Then he returned the same way, leapfrogging from front porch to front porch to seek cover from the rain that had started.

Understand that the jury took this behavior into consideration.

There were a lot of bad decisions made that night and just one good decision might have prevented the tragedy.

I see no reason for Warren or Buttigieg to bring it into their campaigns but I don't see how Zimmerman could win on this.

Preventing crime in his neighborhood *is* minding his own business.

Not only that, but that amount is ridiculous. Neither one is Warren Buffett or Bill Gates to where they even have that amount of money

Again, has Zimmerman ever considered getting gainful employment and stop looking to the courts for a life changing payday?

Let’s face it, he could win a billion and he’d be broke in a year. The guy is just too many bulbs short of a chandelier.
