Zimmerman said he lost sight of Martin, got out of his car to call police and was walking back to his vehicle when the 17-year-old attacked him.

Anyone else [almost] welcome the “race riots”?

Call their bluff. I’m tired of being blackmailed.

Bring it. Time to end this extortion, which is repeated every few years. They want to riot? Good, burn down your own homes and businesses first (as usual)...but don't expect everyone else (i.e. the "cracker" class) to sit on our cracker asses and do nothing to protect ourselves.

What is the admissible evidence that Zimmerman was “a wannabe cop,” pray tell? I have heard people say that but where is the evidence that will be admitted in a court of law? So far there is evidence to the contrary.

According to the autopsy report(posted on another thread), the bullet had no exit wound of any type. The bullet fragments/pieces were all removed.

At that close range, did the bullet lodge in Trayvon or pass through?

Bullet fragments found in the body. Bullet fired from "intermediate range" (whatever that means), straight into the left chest.

“He threw the gasoline on the fire, then stepped back and watched it burn to the ground like a sick arsonist enjoying his destruction.”

Makes me kind of glad I am not a “white hispanic” with black ancestry. Seems like bamster has a grudge against those types.

Alas, someone need only persuade 6 people to say one word each: “guilty.”

And the highest authorities involved in this case (officially or not) are very good a getting the few people holding actual influence to say just the right word.

If he was on top of Zimmerman the bullet may have been showing Trayvon was beating on Zimmerman.

Apparently you have not been watching the trial...The only other eye witness besides Zimmerman testified that it was Travon on the top wailing with both fists into the head of Zimmerman...

And then the morons; the prosecution as well as Travon's parents want you to believe that it was Travon screaming for help, apparently in between punches...

If Zimmerman is found not guilty, there will be race riots all over the country.

What's the difference? If Zimmerman is found guilty, there will be race riots all over the country, just not as bad. Might as well do the right thing, and let the chips fall where they may.

I married a Jewish man, and our last name is not particularly ethnic, either. BUT some folks automatically assume we are Jews.

Didn't know Ronnie was a Jewish name either...

My God: are you unable to google "map of Zimmerman shooting?"

Here:

Not that it's relevant, but Zimmerman got out of his truck to see if he could tell where Trayvon went. That's when Trayvon jumped him.

And don't even try to pull that, "But the 911 operator TOLD him he didn't have to follow Trayvon." You would be a filthy statist if you believed that Zimmerman had any obligation to follow that *advice*. A 911 operator cannot lawfully ORDER you to do anything.

The answer is pretty simple: if I was in Zimmerman’s shoes, and the preponderance of evidence indicated what it indicates NOW, I would want this to be an open-and-shut case.

The evidence clearly supports that Zimmerman fired in self defense. Good luck to you and the rest of your normal life if you ever have to draw in self defense like this. This case is clearly establishing that you are better off letting some punk beat your ass and HOPE he doesn’t kill you.

Chill, bro, chill. You are very confused and clearly have not read my other TM posts.

I have a theory of the case. Here’s the theory: TM was a piece of filth. He died like the “no limit ni&*a” piece of filth that he was. He died with a bullet in his body, and that makes me very, very, very, very happy. One more dead “no limtit piece of filth” in this world.

So, why my question about the location of the body? See my other posts: neither you nor I are on the jury: ignorant filth are on the jury, so I want to know if the position of the “no limit ni*&8” cockroach supports or does not support Zimmerman’s story. Yes it does! Fab!

Why you went off on a tangent about the police dispatcher, I don’t know. Yes, I know: unionied pig dispatchers cannot give orders to emancipated civilians, and that’s a good thing.

Sorry. Maybe it’s because I am inundated with the “Zimmerman should have stayed in his car” claptrap from ignorant commentators on a daily basis. I’m so used to questions about the location of the shooting to be followed by claims that “Zimmerman left his car and hunted Trayvon Martin down like a dog.”

Sigh.

Knee jerk on my part.

All is forgiven, bro. It is a terrible thing that al sharpton can, for racial reasons, bring an innocent man to the dock to defend his life on bogus charges. Our nation is gone forever, and that is very good reason to have a hair trigger, and be quick to anger.

Based on how the prosecutions is presenting it’s non-case, I really don’t think that will be an issue. These charges should have never been brought into a trial.

Both of the key prosecution witnesses, thus far, might as well have been defense witnesses.

I had a classmate in high school whose name was Zimmerman, and he was a Catholic.

Maybe the idea that Zimmerman is Jewish comes from it being Bob Dylan's real name.
