For all we know Zimmerman was following a suspicious person, confronted him just by talking and Trayvon flipped out on him. That's a real possibility that noone wants to consider since it was a kid that was killed here. Ridiculous.
- I considered it and posted about it on the second page. Sad part is that we may never know and someone had to die at all.monospaced

I don't care if it was a crackhead, if someone is following you at night, starts to confront you, and then attacks you, you deserve all concequences.
- YOU put yourself in that predicament. End of story.ArmandoEstrada

Hmmm so there was a 13 year old witness that said Zimmerman was lying on the grass moaning and crying for help, and that Trayvon was going for his gun, and Trayvon has recently been suspended from school for pot.
Sounds like an innocent angel to me. >_>
- Yet, this 13 year still thinks Zimmerman should be arrested....ETM

It's good that all this has come out into the public scene, but honestly, in the end, Zimmerman will probably be charged with murder. I just wish we could get past all the song and dance a bit quicker.
Living in Mississippi, we do have the "castle laws" here that say we can defend ourselves in our own home, vehicle, and place of employment without fear of prosecution, which is good to have, in my opinion. The problem will always be the general public's interpretation of these laws.

Realized this morning that the photo they're showing of him in the media is like 3 - 4 years old. There are also photos of him on a myspace profile that no media outlet is talking about that show him obviously much older in physical appearance. I'm not saying that proves anything whatsoever... it's just always telling in cases like this when very old photos are shown of someone who either committed a crime or was murdered.
- I figured it was because it appeared he was in an orange prison suit - makes you look more criminal.ghandolf

as read on twitter:
"If teens can't wear hoodies because of unfortunate stereotypes based on appearance, then Geraldo should probably shave that rapist mustache."- Every time I read "Geraldo," I hear Beavis pronouncing it.waterhouse

It's not true to say there are no witnesses. There are several witnesses but they only have accounts of what they heard. However, they have an affidavit from Trayvon's friend/girlfriend he was on the phone with as Zimmerman was following him.
---
“He said this man was watching him. So he put his hoodie on, said he lost the man.”She went on to say:
“I asked Trayvon to run, and he said he was going to walk fast, I told him to run but he said he was not going to run.”She said the man caught up with Trayvon and said:
“Trayvon said, ‘What are you following me for?’ and the man said, ‘What are you doing here?’ Next thing I hear is somebody pushing and somebody pushed Trayvon, because the headset just fell.”
---Add to it that the 911 dispatcher asked Zimmerman not to follow, and not to leave his vehicle. I don't get how he is not being charged.

Trayvon was the prey, Zimmerman was the predator.
Zimmerman just lived to tell about it.

more evidence florida needs to fall off into the ocean.
in all seriousness, if the kid who got killed would have been a white a/b student who never got into trouble and not a black one, there'd be an arrest already made.
