More than a couple actually. I’ve been on other threads on FR where I’ve been called names or piled on by a number of “pro Tryvon” posters who want Zimmerman arrested and put “under” the jail.

It sickens how some who post on here could take a side without having the facts or giving the benefit of the doubt. They were quick to believe one side without hearing from the police, read the reports or hear what the shooter had to say. They swallowed the MSM accounts without a question.

There are many on FR who I would say are FRiends, but those who’ve posted the race card rants of the Martin family, the Sharpton gang or the NBP bounty are not what I would want as a FRiend so they can take it to the bricks.

Do nothing. Say nothing. Accept the consequences of letting criminals (etc) have free access to your community and possibly to your family or friends and neighbors.

I suggest you go drinking with a cop some time. I have a number of times, and they all say that "getting involved" is a very dangerous thing. Mr Zimmerman is done. He and his family will have to spend a long time in hiding, or leave the country. Was it worth it?

Now, there have been times where I have made a stand, but legal counsel has always been "Don't get involved". In this situation, getting out of the SUV will get Mr Zimmeran charged. It might a BS charge, but he started the contact.

Agree with your points. Reaching for a cell phone? Would Zimmerman admit reaching for his gun? No. That reaching motion triggered the response.

What is neighborhood watch? It in its broadest definition IS defense of the neighborhood! That is for all parties. Zimmerman was a agent for all parties, including the ones too lazy to get out of bed which Zimmerman covered for.

Who was that idiot?

This Black panther crap is too much as well. Idiots.... all of them. Zimmerman? I tinks the reality is he be part black too. So are the panthers attacking his part blackness, his white ness or his hispanic side? Flippin retards, just lookin for a excuse to beak off. They should be addressing why they as royal blacks are responsible to a black on white 18 to one violence level. They want to be activists? The need to quit being angry, bitter blackmen and perpetuating the same via agents like Obama.

You apparently have not read the article. The witness is NOT Zimmerman. The witness is the man who made a 911 call reporting the attack. He watched this attack and a report was taken by police that night. There were other witnesses as well. You accuse Zimmerman of LYING with n basis in fact. You misstate what the article actually says. AND most egregious you appear to be defending an attacker who viciously beat another human being.

What in the hell is wrong with you?

“Trayvon was visiting his father's fiancée, who lived there. He (Trayvon), “had been suspended from school in Miami after being found with an empty marijuana baggie.”

“Zimmerman called police and reported a suspicious person, describing Trayvon as black, acting strangely and perhaps on drugs.”

(posted on FR) “Trayvon had walked to the 7-11 (.o7 miles away) in the rain to get Skittles for his little brother.”

“One account has Trayvon’s mother saying Trayvon went to the store because he was bored.”

HMMMM, let me speculate..... Maybe excuses to get out of the house to smoke a joint? We WILL know this as a drug test was done on his corpse.

Stumbled on this post, don't know if it's been posted before, but interesting.

Wrong the man who made the 911 call was interviewed on the radio. He specifically stated that he saw the punch and Zimmerman fall and that he ran into the house to call 911.

Really? Nice to know the cops you drink with aren’t involved in any of the neighborhood watch efforts. In our city, Neighborhood Watch is supported and aided by our local police.

You obviously know nothing of the law. You obviously know nothing of the neighborhood watch programs

I hear you.

Instead of looking at this as facts they are sitting there going by what the MSM , Today show, GMA is telling them.

Fact witnesses state Zimmerman was on his back and getting hit.
Fact, Zimmerman had blood from his head.
Fact FL law our laws here state that you are legal to shoot someone if you are thinking your life is in danger.
Fact it’s not illegal to follow someone.
Fact it is illegal to attack someone.

I wonder how many of those people if they were ion the ground getting whacked and having your head slammed into the ground would just lie there and take it when they have a gun or a knife to protect them and know the law is on your side.

How many blacks died this weekend by blacks, how many were shot by blacks this weekend, how many blacks attacked a white because they were the wrong race at that time?

T-shirts, are now being sold calling Zimmerman a cracker etc
Black panthers are giving a reward for kidnapping Zimmerman.
Race baiters are out in force milking this.

Our media here is now calling out the black panthers and the Sharptons.
It is now time for the MSM to report facts and that photo of the 12 or 12 year old kid on TV is pathetic.

I would only hope that some of those saying what they’;re saying will never serve on a jury if I am on the docket as it seems some take what the MSM in far too much and watch CSI too much.

Oh I see so in your book if someone reports somebody is acting strange that is proof of criminal behavior? I never wrote that Zimmerman had no reason to call the police just that there was no evidence a crime was being or had been committed.

I do not dispute a fight occurred I dispute relying on Zimmerman and conflicting eye witness accounts to arrive at the facts which lead to that fight.

Wow a lot of assumptions in your post. Do you ever deal in facts or just in assumptions?
