I thought was referred to as Saint Skittles now?

Crump just threw the case. It sounds to me like he’s conceding Martin started the fight. His logic that event A (in a chain of events) resulted in event F is deeply flawed, and will be seen as nonsense.
Nice shot, George.
One shot, one kill.
No, Trayvon did not have the right to stand his ground as Capt. Zimmerman was the one who was attacked and was acting to protect his property and his Neighborhood Watch sector.
Yes indeed.
And I personally hope that Mr. No_Limit had at least a few seconds to realize he just got limited...permanently.

Which might be of significance if he was taking the case to trial, but he isn't.
I thought Tryevon was a sweet little 10 yr old that wouldn't hurt fly?
Valid point. However, Corey has stated that she keeps in close contact with Crump (so he’s in the know), and given her razor thin charging document I can’t help but feel the prosecution is heading toward a nonsensical “Zimmerman got out of his truck so he’s ultimately responsible for Martin’s death” approach.

I agree with what you say but why do you keep calling George Zimmerman Capt. Zimmerman?
He was a neighborhood watch guy not a police officer or anything where he had a rank.
Just curious.
But we’re to believe that it would have been morally superior for Martin to have killed Zimmerman than for Zimmerman to have killed Martin in self defense.
Multiple news sources, including this piece, have stated that Zimmerman had attained the rank of “captain” in the neighborhood watch.
“Now, Zimmerman is wearing a gray prison jumpsuit instead of black robes, as he faces second-degree murder charges in the Feb. 26 shooting of Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black teenager who was walking home through the housing complex where Zimmerman served as a neighborhood-watch captain.”
The White House backed War on Neighborhood Watch rumbles on. The subtext is that gangsters should have free reign of your streets.
If you’ve EVER walked a night shift in a bad part of town, you know how thankless and lonely it is. As the car with 4 shaved headed thugs rolls up with pumping music, your heart starts to race. You quickly realize you are WAY under armed for a confrontation.
Those of you who have not walked a route: you really don’t know what you’re talking about.
I see. I don’t consider the rank of Captain of neighborhood watch as an official rank, therefor I don’t think he should be called Capt. Zimmerman.
Looks a bit silly IMO. But if you feel it is necessary then by all means go for it.
I'm sure that's in the works.
its a sad situation, sad that we have to have armed people protecting neighborhoods but that is what it has come down too....
