  2. I consider this one of the most level-headed comments posted.

    Most rational people think that it is more likely that Zimmerman aggressively approached the boy and attempted to tackle Trayvon after a verbal altercation. At this point Trayvon defended himself from Zimmerman's assault and gained the upper hand. This, of course, led to Zimmerman pulling out a gun and shooting Trayvon.

    By the way there is no physcial evidence that Trayvon assaulted Zimmerman first, but plenty of supporting evidence that Zimmerman had the mindset where he was likely to assault another person -- including all of Zimmerman's previous arrests.

  4. Except for the very very simple fact the shooter had to exit his SUV in order for that confrontation to take place.
    That alone means we know who started the confrontation, and who finished it. It ain't the one who ended up dead.

    I'm calling Bullshit on this. Having heard all the 911 calls, there is NO eyewitness that claimed "Martin ambushed Zimmerman who was walking back to his truck". The one eyewitness claimed that Martin was on top of Zimmerman.

    There was never a statement from anyone except for Zimmerman who claimed "Martin ambushed Zimmerman who was walking back to his truck".

    Let me also state that based on the location that this shooting occurred at does not support the idea that Zimmerman was walking back to his truck, it only supports that Zimmerman pursued Martin.

  6. I was when I posted but I had some Mexican food so I'm good now.
    I know in the south pork is favorite but I like beef BBQ better.

    The law doesn't work on what "most rational people think". It works on facts and what the evidence proves.

    The witness saw Zimmerman being pummeled on the ground and then heard a shot. Zimmerman was all bloodied up and just defended himself.

    The only facts say Zimmerman just defended himself. Unless and until another witness comes forward or somehow something else can show that Zimmerman started the physical altercation, it was a simple matter of self defense. Conjecture is not evidence. You've been watching too many TV law and detective shows.

    This should be obvious to anyone who knows anything about the law.

    NO, it doesn't. It's merely an assumption you're all to willing to make. Because you're caught up in the emotion of a black kid being killed.

    pspr - here is the plan. Lucrum can feel free to join us.

    Step 1) Travel to Florida
    Step 2) Get out of our vehicle and aggressively pursue the biggest black male we can find.
    Step 3) Verbally confront and then start shoving the black guy.
    Step 4) Black guy beats the heck out of us.
    Step 5) Shoot the black guy dead.

    Repeat until all the those darkie people who you dislike are no longer present in Florida.

    I call it the Zimmerman plan
