“ If the shooting victim hadn't been black, Zimmerman would be a free man today. Anyone else in his circumstance - having been punched in the face and sustained a broken nose along with having his head bashed repeatedly against the concrete ground - would have drawn his gun in a bid to save himself. ”

“ Why shoot to death! There's so many other ways to shoot?
I might have done the same with all the circumstance. ”

“ You're assessment of the cases shows you are ignorant of the facts of the case as well as the law in FL.

1. Stalking is a crime and is defined as an "act of aggression". Martin had no idea if Zimmerman was a neighborhood watchman, a rapist, a crazed racist looking for a fight.

2. A "neighborhood watchman" is not an official position in law enforcement. They are only allowed to observe from their vehicle and report. According to the bylaws of that community, they are NOT allowed to be armed.

3. The "Stand Your Ground" law assumes that one person makes a "first act of aggression", called the "aggressor" and one is the "defender". If "stalking" is an act of aggression, then Zimmerman was the aggressor and Martin the Defender. If not, then Zimmerman may be innocent.

To me, it comes down to this:
Zimmerman picked a fight with this kid.
He ignored the police dispatcher's instructions.
When he started losing the fight that he, himself started, he pulled out his gun and killed the kid.

That is not self-defense in my book.

The only people making this about race are the race-baiters! (Sharpton, Hannity, etc.)

FYI: I'm a gun-carrying NRA member who supports the SYG laws 100%. ”

“ Welcome back. You haven't posted your views in awhile.
Whether he stalked him or not is irrevelant. There is no law in the world that allows you to defend yourself with physical force because s/o is stalking you. Not even "Stand your ground" law allows you to. So your view, although very much PC today in our country, is based on lies and is Truly unjust.
This guy Zimmerman has broken down and has no spine left.
If it was me - I'd curse out the parents and say - what kind of kid did you raise? S/o who stealed, took drugs and had extremely violent tendencies. But the reason no one says it like it is - is because, esp. with our Pres., we are scared to say the truth which isn't PC.
The high recent raise in crime in NYC is due to the subculture that afflicts these 'hoods. I didn't hear anyone condeming this from their community - from the Pres. on down. Mr. PMO/NRA - you think by being PC they wouldn't do the same to you? If Ch'vs you had to use your gun to defend yourself in your own home, even if the PC Gov. couldn't charge you with a crime, even though they sure would try, you'd be sued and lose your pants in the trial. But keep defending the dictatorship here! ”

“ There he goes again complaining about GZ violating the bypass. Great even if he was the chief of police himself said that it is not a crime to do that, the chief of police also said it is not a crime to follow someone. I used to be on a neighborhood watch and the way it works is that you have set hours and times to be on duty, GZ was a concealed carrier full time and watch guy part time. When he called the non emergency line to report a suspicious person he was doing it as a citizen and homeowner in the area, just because he is on the phone doesn't automatically make him not allowed to carry. He was going to Target and not on his watch hours. Te fact that you are so stubborn about the fact that GZ was stalking and you can't accept the possibility that he was heading back to his car when he was confronted by trayvon and that the only eye witness corroborates this, makes me think that you are either crazy or a liberal posing as an NRA gun owner. ”

“ Actually you are wrong about stalking.

For example, if a strange man with a gun follows a woman on the street, then down a dark alley, and is obviously following her, does she have to wait for him to attack her, or is she allowed to take a defensive stand? The answer IN FLORIDA is that she is allowed to assume bodily harm will come to her as stalking is, by definition, a act of aggression.

The kid was never charged with stealing anything, and you can't provide ANY proof (nor can anyone else) that he did.

You also cannot prove he "took drugs". The latent TRACES found in his blood were consistent with someone who had used cannabis in the prior 6 -12 months. That hardly makes him a drug user. It makes him a teenager who tried pot... like nearly EVERY teenager in America.

Can you state what Martin's "violent tendencies" were, because other than a schoolyard scuffle ONCE in his life, there is no record of that ANYWHERE.

FYI: The governor of FL is a right-wing (as opposed to Conservative) nut case and professional thief (who got away with it)... not a liberal.

What a shame you make up such vicious lies and then have the nerve to call yourself "TRUTH". "LIAR" is more like it. ”

You change the scenario to fit your agenda. Zimmerman didn't follow anybody down any dark alley and the perp TM had no idea he (Zimm) was carrying.
As far as his crimes, I don't need to be able to Prove something in our wonderful Justice system to know the guy did it. He had jewlery in his knapsack.
And you admit he is a Druggie. Almost Noone that I know has ever taken any illegal drug, no matter what you claim the statistics are. Just because you do it -doesn't mean e/o does it. Since you claim e/o is a pothead -is this your excuse for the increase in crime in the 'hood?
One time is enough for violence and this guy has at least two!
And if you don't like your Governor -don't re-elect him. I don't live in that swamp you call Fla.
My SN bothers Pathological Liars like you and it should. ”
