Fact: With 12% of the population, blacks commit about 50% of the murders in America. (Justice Dept. data, well hidden during Obama, but now more in the open)

Any citizen, is well advised to protect him/herself well, when around them.

It is the fault of black culture, and people, nobody else.

>> “The not-guilty verdict in Sanford helped spur the Black Lives Matter movement.” <<

A flat out lie!

George Soros created the Black Lives Matter movement.

>> “The DA over charged in this case and did not give a compromise charge of manslaughter. I do believe that Zimmerman did exacerbate the situation and a charge of manslaughter or negligent homicide could have been argued for.” <<

That is an absolute crock of manure!

I said could have been argued for, that doesn’t mean the charge was justifiable. There are many situations where a hotheaded person gets killed because of their actions. The issue is when is a good Samaritan going to far. People have died being restrained as a result of shoplifting. The person had a right to restrain the individual but could the situation have been better solved? That is merely the point I was trying to make. As I side Martin would have gotten himself killed sooner or later because of his behavior.

Bob 34 wrote Obama the race baiter sparked the protests- the verdict wasn’t controversial at all- it was a clear cut case of self defense- Trayvon was trying to murder george by bashing his skull against concrete- George had EVERY RIGHT to defend himself with deadly force at that point- period.

The result of Obama’s use of the Bully Pulpit led to at least 20 assaults which many ended in death. Hearing it seemed to have encouraged black gangs who have nationwide membership like the Crypts claim to defend black honor by attacking innocent non blacks in retaliation for the “cold blooded killing of Trayvon”. One such example was the murder of Australian student Christopher Lane from Melbourne here on a scholarship to a Duncan Oklahoma college. Shot and killed from their vehicle while exercising on a Duncan street by two Crypts.

While there was at least a score (20) of such racial attacks they were ignored or minimized by the media. While many perpetrators actually attributed their reasoning “for Trayvon” the media reported their activity as “black youths with nothing better to do” As they did in the Lane killing.

because it had been over a year since I even thought of this case I went and looked up on line what happened and I was right. Zimmerman called the police reporting suspicious activities as part of the neighborhood watch. the operator told him to stay in his car. Zimmerman then after reporting the suspicious person hung up. two minutes later the police received a 911 call of shots being fired.... I think we can agree that Treyvon was a punk and up to no good. I think we can agree that it is also Trayvon fault he got shot and killed. I think we can agree that Zimmerman had every right to shoot Treyvon. the place I disagree with you is that Zimmerman did not make the best decision when he left the car. Zimmerman helped to create the situation where he was forced to defend himself and shoot Trayvon.

Suggestion look at the official police reports... A lot of times we think we know but because of the passage of time and the misinformation put out we choose to believe what fits a narrative that might not be true.

“Are you following him?” the operator for the Sanford police’s non-emergency line asks Zimmerman. “Yeah,” he says. The dispatcher on the phone tells him: “We don’t need you to do that.” Who the aggressor was that fateful night is the central — and most unanswerable — question of the case. Those who fault Zimmerman have latched on to this back-and-forth with Sean Noffke, the operator, as proof that Zimmerman defied a direct police order. Not so. Noffke testified on the first day of the jury trial that it is dispatchers’ policy not to give orders to callers. “We’re directly liable if we give a direct order,” he explained. “We always try to give general basic . . . not commands, just suggestions.” So, “We don’t need you to do that” is different than a more direct “Don’t do that.”
