It may be understandable, but that does not make it justifiable.
The Kermit Washington defense.....
If someone other than a cop was following me, I’d probably like to jump him also. But, that’s just me. Zimmerman got what he deserved, and a kid got murdered.
And most of you posting garbage articles got played, not the rest of us.
The left has to have their victims and martyrs......First Sandra Fluke for the Women now this guy for the Blacks......It’s all about getting Obama re-elected. The media know he is in big trouble and are on full propaganda mode. Aside from that I think the White House also latched on to this from the Gun Control angle. Already here in SC there is talk from Democrats in the statehouse about repealing parts of the “Castle Doctrine”.......
I had heard this innocent boy (who is dead, by the way) was Barry Obama’s son.
Any truth to that report?
Add to the media’s basic incompetence and lack of investigative skills their need to slant every story in a way that will either fuel racial and class tensions in America or support Barack Obama and the only thing we really know so far is that a person has been shot.
***It is clear that we are being played by the media. However, simply because someone is following you, is not justification for jumping them and beating them.
It may be understandable, but that does not make it justifiable.***
Absolutely.
Just because you are armed with a gun and following someone is not justification for killing them. It may be understandable, but that does not make it justifiable.
Innocent people don’t beat the crap out of people.
Neighborhood watches are evil??
Neiborhood watches can’t FOLLOW ANYBODY?
Now, who could blame Trayvon for attacking Zimmerman?...Me.
Unfortunately, anyone questioning the media version will inevitably be accused of wanting to excuse the killing and with that accusation, the inference is clear: you're a racist. This is why we'll never see racial harmony in America, no matter how many people of good will try to attain it. The race hustlers and those seeking political advantage by dividing us into racial camps will always be there, eager to exploit tragedy.
“...not to blame Trayvon in any way...”

You mean “Martin” right?
Why does this person continue to be called by his first name while Zimmerman is not
We will probably see more of these kinds of lop-sided racial victimization stories from the MSM/Dems leading up to the election.
They will do everything they can to help improve Obama’s chances for reelection.
And these kinds of stories make good distractions from the real joblessness numbers, economic data, foreign affairs, etc.
SNIFF, SNIFF!
Aw jeeze, the smell of Roasted Nifong still hangs heavy in the air!
Maybe, maybe not.
The attention span of the masses has not yet been degraded to the point where 2 minute efficiency can be achieved. Currently the cycle takes about a month to play out.
Two months ago it was insisting on an ultrasound to attempt to dissuade a mother from killing her unborn child which was equated to "Rape". Last month is was the "slut" who turned out to be an activist who was too busy jet setting around Europe to find the $9 birth control pills at the corner Target.
Now everybody is on a first name basis with a dead Florida Teenager, has already tried, convicted and is ready to lynch the shooter, start a race war, or both.
Anyone care to guess what the leading cause of death is for a black, male teenager is? Can we ever deal with the meat of an issue and stop chasing after Media Matters, focus group tested polarizers?
Seems as if they’re ginning up race riots to divert attention from Obama and his failed presidency. Or perhaps to enable him to declare martial law. Now let me get this foil hat off of my head...SSZ
This is all part of Obama’s master plan.
Never let a crises go to waste....even if you have to manufacture one.
Sad he is an “innocent boy”(isn’t boy derogatory or bigoted?)
If Treyvonn had committed outright, indisputable murder he would be tried as a man, though portrayed as a young man.
And since Dumb0’s idiotic statement, the media will continue the narrative to cover his ass.
She says: This is, without a doubt, an injustice. Zimmerman had NO business following him. Zimmerman does deserve to be arrested.
BZZZT. Thanks for playing. Arrested for what exactly?
She then says: believe Trayvon had a right to jump on Zimmerman.
Really? It's ok to jump on and beat someone who's following you?
She then gets sidelined into the whole bit about who was screaming. Zimmerman was bleeding about the head and was on his back. Other than being shot, I've never heard about zimmerman injuring Martin. Who is most likely to be screaming? 6'3" skinny 17yo or 5'4" overweight 28yo laying on his back being pummeled?
