Trayvon could have said: I just walked to the store, I’m talking to my girlfriend and headed to my dad’s fiancee’s Blah Blah house at #### Retreat View Circle.

No, the conversation starts with Trayvon and ends when Trayvon is asked a question back. It would appear Trayvon didn’t like being questioned, he certainly didn’t answer the question.

No, really?!I'm pretty sure that makes him white.

Being Hispanic makes Zimmerman Caucasian; doesn't make him white.

Thank you. I think the rule is, “if you’re not black, you’re white.”. Else what’s the fuss?

Saw where Trayvon was visiting family because he was suspended from school for five days.

Anyone have more info on that?

No, because he is a minor and I’ve also read that the Martin family attorney had Trayvon’s records sealed. Yep, just like Obama’s son. :)

It’s an old CNN trick.

Total bloodbath in Chicago: 10 dead, 40 wounded (3/19/12 - with video)

Obama’s hometown resembled a war-zone this weekend with black and Latino gang bangers slaughtering nine people and wounding 40. The youngest person wounded is only one year old.

I think they're trying to start a race-war....There's no other reason to report this way.

Then Obama can come to the rescue and be the "savior" once again.

Also watch for "Religion" to be an issues as well. They'll be pitting one against the other.

All this to divert attention away from Obamas utter failures and further dumb down the public......Obama knows how to push the emotional buttons of the black population....and the media is happy to assist him.

We are living now in dark times and it's going to get darker I'm afraid.

Martin was winning the fight. Who started it? If Zimmerman started it, he has no valid self-defense claim. If Martin started it, then Zimmerman had the right to defend himself.

Maybe stand your ground covers Martin too. Strange hostile man following him - he stands his ground, unarmed. Maybe that’s a problem with stand your ground laws - you get two people neither of whom will back off. If both have the duty to back off, maybe one will.

Facts no longer matter.

Zimmerman has been declared guilty by too many public figures, in and out of government.

Sadly, some of them are republicans and conservatives; individuals who should know better than to declare guilt or innocence on the media’s interpretation of any event.

“Daddy, there’s a man walking on the sidewalk. He’s carrying something, and he’s looking at the houses.”

That was Martin’s suspicious behavior according to Zimmerman himself.

He wasn’t looking in any little girl’s window.

In fact - just like King Obama himself.

Most illegal alien muslim terrorist wanna-be's have more public records and documentation than King Obama.

If you listen to Zimmerman’s 911 call, to his anger and frustration and adrenaline and curse words - he’s not dispassionately reporting some guy who might just possibly be up to no good - he’s following a criminal, already convicted in his mind.

A 28 y.o. man radiating that kind of hostility, do you expect him to be able to ask a civil question? He has no uniform, no authority, do you think he deserves a civil answer?

I think the rule is, “if you’re not black, you’re white.”.

As long as there is a non-white who is aggrieved / exploited / shot dead / whatever then the perp is white unless he is obviously darker than the non-white.

I think you mean PROVE not TELL.

A reasonable person, IMO, can ‘tell’ that the younger, bigger fellow in the ‘presence’ of his girlfriend attacked.

But it can’t be ‘proved’ from the evidence. So people can assume whatever fits their desires.

“No problem. The perps all look like they coulda been my sons.”

Maybe they were....oh wait.
