Heres my 2 cents
Heres the real problem both sides have something to be pissed about.
Trayvon was walking home with only skittles and an arizona not particularly paraphernalia that would show he was going to cause issues. But ultimately he acted immaturely and attacked Zimmerman because Zimmerman was following him.
Zimmerman on the other hand was just doing his job and reported what he thought was suspicious behavior from Trayvon. He followed Trayvon which he was told not to do which resulted in Trayvon acting defensively and ultimately attacking Zimmerman.
Trayvon gave Zimmerman a beat down and Zimmerman had to pull out his gun and defend himself.
Both parties were wrong.

- assumptions? Thats whats in the reports.404
- intentions, actions and what was going through their minds in those moments are in there?prophetone
- please enlighten me and show me where I stray from the reports.404
- it's a question, relax, and it still stands, was every aspect documented? because that's the fog of this...prophetone
- that will be the problem here, in the end. it's happening now, everywhere. misinformation, assumptions, etc.prophetone
- The problem with Zimmerman's account is it came from Zimmerman. Who wouldn't spin the truth if they knew they were in the wrong?locustsloth
- in the wrong?locustsloth
- exactly, other than the horrible result, how does anyone know what transpired, aside from that guy.prophetone
- first it wasn't a question because you didn't have a question mark. 2nd I was just wondering where i strayed no need to tell me to relax :)404
- need to tell me to relax :)404
- 3rd post is my question... i was simply asking, not telling. i am not pretending to enlighten anybody. i seek the truth. zen.prophetone

A bloke like Zimmerman starts following me and I'd be worried he was going to mug/murder me. If someone came up to me out of the blue and asked me what I was doing, without identifying themselves as police, I'd tell them where to go.

A trayvon is something you put a hungryman dinner on. This guy is going to walk.

Can somebody tell the police they have the wrong guy?!
They sapped guys and nobody notices?!
The first one also dressed better.

Seems like Trayvon was the one trying to defend himself.
Zimmerman got close enough to get involved in an altercation. Based on the audio from the 911 calls, Zimmerman did not sound like someone who would calmly and rationally approach someone he's been following through his neighborhood, as well as being armed. My guess is Zimmerman ran up to him grabbed him, got smacked in the face a couple times, then shot.
Ultimately this is terrible police work to just let him go, assuming it's just another gangster that got shot. Now this whole case is being played out in the public court. Good luck trying to find an impartial jury, if Zimmerman even gets charged at all.
- he also has priors for battery on a cop and a restraining order from a girllocustsloth
- in other words, this was a man who has a history of letting temper get in the way of good judgementlocustsloth

- I am all over this one as well. This is just getting blatant. Innocent but shot in the head. now dead.sherm
- This most likely happens every day but in light of Trayvon and Rahmarley... they are coming to light.ohhhhhsnap
- Hear of CeCe McDonalds case? Only reason she isn't getting light is because she's a transwoman.ohhhhhsnap

One of the stranger aspects of this event is how the pro-Treyvon (or pro-justice) factions have been insisting that Zimmerman is white when he's clearly Latino. I just don't get the need for that, it's bizarre and somewhat terrifying.
- and by white I mean "cracker" white.futuremongolian
- zimmerman is latino but there are many folks who operate as WHITE who have "light skinned privilege" in this country.ohhhhhsnap
- Everyone is out to get black people.cotton
- cotton, i disagree with that. there are some amazing allies out there doing work WITH us.ohhhhhsnap

I'd would put my money that Zimmerman walks, there is not enough proof. The prosecution must prove the case beyond reasonable doubt and I doubt they can prove that he was not acting in self defense.

Trayvon Martin's mother Sybrina Fulton said she believed the shooting was an accident and things got out of control.
she later clarified the statement:
"Their meeting was the accident," Fulton said. "That was the accident. Not the actual act of him shooting him. That was murder ... They were never supposed to meet."

Stand you ground law is kind of like in Clint Eastwood movies where you can shoot and kill someone because you got in an argument
Seems insane but the NRA is lobbying to make this the law everywhere

Zimmerman is armed, Trayvon is not. Zimmerman shoots Trayvon. Zimmerman should go to prison. Am I missing anything?
- yeah the whole bit about the law.futuremongolian
- The law is retarded.DrBombay
- you're missing the idea of self defense asking that people should be making rules before a fight.omg
- self defense? from what? he basically stalked this guy.monkeyshine

i really don't care what the fam or anyone else has to say. I just want to hear testimony and facts of the case. Hopefully they get it right.
