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.

This wouldn't even be a story without the race-baiting jackasses who call themselves "black leaders".

Your ignorance of that fact (or deliberate choice to ignore it) is very telling.

It means “carpenter” in German, not a traditional Jewish occupation.

It's a 2000 year-old tradition. :)

This whole thing is a false flag operation to create the
civil unrest Obama needs. It goes both ways. If Zimmerman
is found innocent the media will fan the flames and help
incite riots. If Zimmerman is found guilty then the same
people will look at it as conformation of the already
open season on whites. Obama wants marshal law.

I think what His Heinous Barackula the Destroyer wants is called “martial” law.

I’m just curious. At that close range, did the bullet lodge in Trayvon or pass through? If it passed through, there should be a hole or small crater in the pavement IF TRAYVON was on bottom. If he was on top of Zimmerman the bullet may have been showing Trayvon was beating on Zimmerman.

“There is no law or requirement that someone stay in their car for any reason”

Other than if commanded to do so by a police officer or
if surrounded by hungry lions or bears.

[[I don’t see any way George Zimmerman can be convicted.]]

Legally he can’t, and hte judghe shoudl have NEVER allowed this to even coem to trial because there was an OBVIOUS racial bias at paly to have george arrested, and htere was NOT ANY evidence to suppoort the charge iof ‘depraved indifference to human life’

[[He was railroaded from the start. As soon as bambi put his nose in it, it was all over for Zimmerman.]]

Absdolutely it was over- when dear leader unethically fueld racial hatred towards george, he knew damn well what he was doing- he was sendign sa loud and clear message that “I give my approval to deny george his rights so that he may be foudn guilty WITHOUT any evidence to show he’s guilty- fitre at will”

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

And America still thinks this dear leader is a ‘good man’?

There are a number of Jewish Zimmermans (Bob Dylan comes to mind), but the Jews named Zimmerman are less common than Jews surnamed Miller, Green, Snyder and others. Yet people don’t jump to a Jewish conclusion about those surnames.

A lot of those Germanic Jewish surnames became traditional because official surnames were required by the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

You can’t really tell from a surname. Songwriter George M. Cohan, for example, was 100% Irish Catholic!

f Trayvon had gone home, then as soon as Zimmerman saw him open the door with a key, he would have thought “OK, he lives her”, told the dispatcher “never mind”, and went home.

If Trayvon had called 911 saying “there’s some creepy-ass cracka following me”, they would have told him that was the neighborhood watch guy, and nothing further would have happened.

no indication Zimmerman started a physical confrontation with Trayvon, a 6-foot-three 150-pound football player, 6 inches taller than him

Hey, when I first heard the name George Zimmerman, I thought he was an old Jewish guy in a hoveround.
and when I saw him, I thought he was a Mexican, not a white Hispanic. Whatever that is.
So I guess I am guilty of being racist also, which is okay with me.

IF we had an actual president- he woudl be weighing in and statign in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS that riots will NOT be tolorated regardless of trhe outcoem of the trial- Hewouldn’t be throwing kerosene on the fire and hoping an American citizen gets murdered after the decision, his family gets mrudered, and towns and cities burned and looted-

Again- America htinks this dear leader is popular and doign an ‘effective job’?

[[A very important question: WHERE in relationship to his vehicle was Zimmerman attacked? I’ve been trying to get that bit of info for over a year now]]

George had parked at the corner, walked down between soem buildings to find otu what street he ws on so he could inform the neiughborghood watch group he waso n the phone with wherre he was- He was walkign back to his vehicle and almsot htere- about 1/2 way back to vehicle when the punk jumped him from a side alley

I was raised in Cleveland Heights Ohio, and every Zimmerman I knew was Jewish.
I married a Jewish man, and our last name is not particularly ethnic, either. BUT some folks automatically assume we are Jews.
