As far as the race issue with "just looking and walking around" where you don't fit in. Put on a turban and carry a back pack (better yet, bring a camera) and walk around the Federal reserve or nyse in nyc and see how much grief you get. "See sumpin say sumpin" ??????
So I know this young white person lived in a mixed neighborhood. Young white person walking down street and passes a house with "urban youths" on porch. They yell out "you don't belong on this street" White person replies "I live on this street". Urban youth answer "This is our street". -------------- White person silenty agrees and moves elsewhere. The end.
As far as shooters interaction with the law in the past. No bearing except the shooters prejuidice towards law enforcement. Making a useless 911 call and still gets his ass beat. It would be interesting to know of other calls from the nieghborhood watch and the police response. Basically law enforcement failed to protect the dead victim and the shooter, hence neighborhood watch groups. The community had 8 robberies in 15 months? I'd say law enforcement failed after the 1st robbery or the 3rd or the 5th or 8th, c'mon someone isn't doing their job.
OOOOHHHHH!!!! A secret witness. Well that just ends it all don't it? (Did we graduate junior high school yet? Apparently not.)
The crimes were not disqualifying for a carry permit in Florida since they were not felonies and greater than 3 years in the past.
Zimmerman is innocent? A grand jury is being put together as we speak to indict Zimmerman. The local Sanford police admitted to the town council the following: 1) The police agreed that they totally blotched the investigation. 2) They did not spend a single minute on the case beyond the day of the initial shooting except for media inquiries. 3) Never interviewed additional witnesses. Never followed up with original witnesses with interviews. 4) Took three days to identify the shooting victim "John Doe" as Trayvon Martin despite his parents calling the Sanford police every day asking where their son was. The police never used Trayvon's cell phone to call his family that was clearly listed as the ICE contact. The town council voted "no confidence" on the police chief and stated that this was the most inept police investigation in the history of the town. This is why the police chief and the local prosecutor have been removed from office, and the federal & state authorities have taken over the investigation. The matter is far from closed
Evidence of a pursuit, evidence of disregarding police dispatch instructions, evidence of a prejudiced mind set by Zim, evidence of a fight, evidence of a shooting, evidence of a dead youth. Enough evidence for a trial to let a jury decide.
The fact is, he committed no crime. All charges against him were dropped. That means 'INNOCENT". As far as the grand jury, they will come to the same conclusion. Self-defense. Insufficient evidence to charge. It's obvious to any impartial person. What is outrageous is how black groups are using this tragedy to raise money. The new Black Panther Party offered a bounty of $10,000 Saturday for the âcaptureâ of a Florida neighborhood watch captain who killed unarmed teen Trayvon Martin. The group hopes to collect $1 million off the outrage by next week.
You are making up reality again... There were never any charges against him that were dropped. No jury has declared Zimmerman to be "innocent". The police investigation into the matter is not complete because the local police blotched the investigation so badly that their chief has been removed from office and the federal/state authorities have taken over. A grand jury is being put together to meet in April to indict Zimmerman. This will be the first step in charges in this case.
