I could have given him the benefit of the doubt as I did in the beginning, but this seems to keep happening to him (Trayvon incident aside). Even IF he is being railroaded by either the police or a pscho female, avoiding police contact should be his fundamental goal. He is failing miserably at it so I have to assume it's by his own hand. He's been through this enough to know.

When a guy is 20, his other brain may steer him into trouble, but at his age, common sense should have kicked in for no other reason that self-preservation. He may not be the racist murderer the media tried to paint, but he is indeed, an imbecile.

Just because someone is charged with a crime, especially in these times of political activist prosecutors, it doesn't mean that the accused is guilty. The presumption of innocence has always been one the foundations of our legal system and we need that more now then ever. In other words, instead of people assuming he is guilty, people should be assuming he is innocent until he is proven guilty.

“granted $5,000 bond...
He was also ordered to surrender all firearms, even though there was no indication a firearm was used in the incident, the judge said.
His next court date is set for Feb. 17.”

the weapon was a wine bottle.

partially true...

I dont want to go into details, but I was accused of something, and the accusations were renewed and reworded over a course of several years, the final incident brought me in for questioning

I walked around like a zombie for several years, and I admit it affects me today, I do not respond well to lies, people who lie to me or lie about me, even when people joke, I have to step back and rethink if they are just ribbing me...

It definitely changed my life.

If a certain person had just admitted to me that they knew they were wrong, and knew I was innocent and said they were sorry...I suppose that is all it would have taken to remove the emotional load, but, that person never has, and it is too long ago to ever expect it to occur in my future...and yes, that person knows that is what I wanted.

And the scumwaffle who was actually guilty was tried and convicted and sentenced to 15 years. Probably only did 7, too...

“Geez, this guy must be really screwed up...
You would think after all he's been though he would know better...”.......

Like you said, he IS a liberal and obviously not too swift.

Zimmerman must live his life as if there was an unfriendly camera always trained on him 24-7.

BECAUSE THERE PROBABLY IS!

How come there was never any arrest of George Zimmerman BEFORE Trayvon Martin got shot?


Either he’s been railroaded or “you a wascist!”

After watching his antics since the trial, I am.


...as reported by the impartial and unbiased mainstream media?

So tell us, what are all these “antics” and why has be been brought up on charges yet never convicted?

I’ve noticed others asking similar questions of you yet you never give a concise, solid answer.

No, I’m pretty sure he was an idiot before Trayvon ever came around too.

Try more words in caps. That always helps. Try to bold a couple of things too.

So he should have let St Skittles bash his brains out onto the pavement?

I’m a bit familiar with the incidents that happened since the Trayvon trial, and to the best of my knowledge, nothing whatsoever came of any of them. If this was anyone else, do you think that it would have made the media? After all, the alleged weapon was a wine bottle.
