This case seems pretty cut-and-dry: An armed man follows and confronts an unarmed teen and then shoots and kills him. Everyone should be outraged. This appears to be one of those stories in which the family and their supporters are justified in their outrage.
Here is another thread where we discussed this on freerepublic previously.
Trayvon Martin was on a week’s suspension from his High School, and a stranger at the gated community.
All the police investigation has said that the physical evidence is consistant with Mr. Zimmerman’s claims of self defense.
Zimmerman was bleeding from the face and back of the head when the police arrived. Zimmerman says that he was yelling for help and no one would help him.
It is very difficult to make up a story that is consistent with the physical evidence when the encounter occured in darkness and the police were there within minutes.
