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.

[[I have no argument that this country is going down the drain, but Zimmerman will at worst will get a hung Jury.]]

The menendez jury will neve4r aquit because hte vidence is absolutely clear that hte boys murdered their mother and father in cold blood

Oh wait- the all female jury thought hte boys shouldn’t be convicted because they had ‘lost theirm other, and that was puinkishement enough” (or soemthign akin to htat)

NEVER underestimate the NONsense of a jury

Somehow when things are going the way the MSM or politicians want it the “ Bushes” always get highlighted.

The evidence supports a one-sided beating.

Not sure what trial you are watching, but the prosecution is putting on a defense case.

[[I don’t understand why so many people are rallying to stick up for one person or another in this case. There are only two people that REALLY knows what happened that night and one is dead.]]

that’s not true- there are witnesses, there is evidnce that corroborates george’s account, thgere is the month long police investigation evidence that foudn george was innocent

The only ‘confusion’ coems from the FACT that DESPITE all the evidence which exonorasted George, the blacdk community DEMANDED AND GOT an arrest- a FALSE arrest (Not yellign with hte cps- just stressign key points)

That’s why peopel who actaully look at hte evidnece side with george- why peopel side with trrayvon is pretty clear too- they don’t give a damn what hte evidnece leads to- they don’t liek george and want him to swing for havign defended hismelf agaisnt an all black kid

Jews wish my husband happy holidays and they mean the Jewish ones but he’s the Catholic son of a convert to Catholicism. Yet there are places in the country where people might assume by the name that he’s part of a large, long-settled family of English descent.

All common sense. The tell that shows it for what it is
is: Obama: ‘If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon’

What do you think he’s going to say if Zimmerman is found
innocent? Obama has been pushing this all along. The judge
and prosecutor are just puppets either willingly or coerced.

Defense doesn’t have to prove anything.

Prosecution has prove that Zimmerman threw the first punch or otherwise initiated force. They can’t.

The only way Zimmerman will be found guilty is jury tampering: threats of riots, threats against them personally, etc.

Zimmerman didn’t throw ANY punches that I am aware of. Lil Trayvon had no damage from blows that I am aware of that were discovered in the autopsy.

[[I just heard on the ABC news break someone said, and I do not know who this was, all this could have been avoided if Zimmerman had stayed in his car...]]

Sure, and peopel woudl never get killed if they never corssed any streets, and peopel woudl never drown if they never went swimming, and peopel whoudl bnever choke to death if they never ate anything- and peopel woudl never die by gunshots o nthe street if they never ventured outside, and peopel woudl never die from gunshots if they avoided joining wars- and and and-

The left have NOTYHIG- no evidence to support hteir ‘george is guilty’ verdict- ALL they have left is to blame the victim (YES, George IS the victim- victim of a criminal assault by a thug, and hten victim of a rogue prosecution who falsely charged him) by suggestign george ‘sghould have’ but what george does or doesn’t do i none of hteir damn business regardless of the fact that those arrogant pricks htink it is-

Yeah, I’m waiting for someone to say all this could have been avoided if Zimmerman’s mom had aborted him.

All I have seen of this is a bunch of people twisting themselves into pretzels using anything but logic and fact to say that Zimmerman is guilty of murder when there is zero evidence of such, and plenty of evidence that he was going to be the one murdered.

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

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

Exactly. Besides, what do I care if there are race riots. I do not live anywhere near areas that will be rioting or burning down. They have no effect on me.

1. I was agreeing with the poster in #24, who said: "Zimmerman is an idiot and wannabe cop, while Martin was an idiot and wannabe thug and when you put two idiots together, bad things tend to happen.

2. But I will expand on this to say that Zimmerman obviously got very worked up about Martin and jumped to some conclusions about him and was following him closely enough to draw Martin's attention. If he had not done this, Martin would probably have just proceeded back to his friend's apartment to mix up his little drug concoction and the whole event would never have happened.

Suppose I go out looking for trouble and I end up having to shoot somebody. Even if the shooting is totally justified, I shouldn't be surprised that I found trouble and ended up having to explain myself in court.
