I imagine because he was described as a “white” Hispanic by the msm, they threw him under the bus. His mother was Peruvian, I understand. All you have to be is designated white to be guilty in this country. Whites have accepted “white guilt” ,what did we expect would happen after that?

Our justice system is running scared of the race baiters

Our justice system is IN LEAGUE with the race baiters. The unholy alliance with Obama & Holder is plain to see.

What facts that you’ve seen or heard would constitute probable cause?

“FL State Attorney General Pam Bondi is also a PO”

The other night on Hannity they were discussing the case and Bondi sounded exactly like a host on MSNBC, saying how this “ unarmed young black man” was shot down in the street and she was going to get to the bottom of this
travesty. Ever since she started kissing Romney’s azz and touting RomneyCare I have dispised this RINO.

I said it back when this all started, he’s going to face manslaughter charges, and as much as it is disliked by some folks here, he’s likely going to lose.

End of the day, Zimmerman engaged in actions that lead to the shooting, not only did he do so, he did so after repeated advice not to. Zimmerman calls in the report, and doesn’t leave his car and try to hunt the kid down, none of this happens. Its pretty obvious, he’s got some amount of culpability to the events that happened after he decided to take matters into his own hands above and beyond calling the cops to report the situation.

He cannot claim pure victim here, no matter how much some folks want it to be.

Not only that, but because of his idiotic actions, the HOA is likely going to be sued and his neighbors taken down with him.

I’m as pro second ammendment as you can get, but your right to carry doesn’t mean you have the right to be an abject idiot, just because you are carrying. Zimmerman ensured this situation the minute he got out of his car and decided to hunt down the kid on his own.

They will also have their “riots” (gibmes free stuff) one way or the either. Riots (looting) when they lose, riots when they win. We just lie down and whisper “I’m white, kill me”.

Yea whatever. You’re missing the big picture, and I assume it’s due to you being black. If not that wow...you really can’t see what has happened here is nothing but politics and lynch mob by the left race hustlers?

I would respectfully suggest everyone resist the urge to comment until you find out if this story is actually true.

Yup

No, Hispanics will support the prosecution because they don’t think Martin should have been shot, not that they were there at the scene.

I wholeheartedly agree. I cannot go to a murder charge, but manslaughter, yeah.

The problem is that while you are not judging people by the color of their skin, you are being judged for being white. It has to work both ways or it doesn’t work at all. It doesn’t work both ways. That’s “racial realism 101”.

Well Done.

You're following the erroneous story line as misreported by the MSM.

I don't know what "repeated advice" you're referring to. Are you talking about the dispatcher's words, "We don't need you to do that" ?

Remember Zim's reply to that? It was this: "OK."

Call the dispatcher's words "advice" if you like, but I'm not sure there is a clear, before-the-fact interpretation we can put on that phrase. Even if you choose to interpret it as an "order," Zim was under no obligation to follow it.

In any case, that is moot, because there is ZERO evidence that Zim continued to follow and to confront Martin.

In fact, the evidence shows that Zim's story that he was retreating to his vehicle, when confronted and attacked by Martin, is true.

Check out the map of the scene at www.wagist.com, and then tell me if you still believe the MSM's lies about who confronted whom.
