[QUOTE=RIROCKHOUND;1006255]No, it may have become a 'good shoot' AFTER he got out of his car with a 9mm and put himself in a situation HE DID not belong in, was not trained for and was told not to get out of his car.



Maybe had the kid not been suspended from school for having drugs he would not have been visiting his father that day.
Funny how the media barely mentioned that & only put out pictures of a much younger kid than one of him 17 & at 1st called Zimmernam a White male, then eventually called him a White Hispanic.
Is Zimmerman even part white, or as the kid called him "a Cracker"

Sweet Jesus what,
The kid was shot close range in the chest while on top of Zimmerman as he was pounding Zimmerman's head into the ground.
Had Zimmerman been the dead one we would have never heard about the story, no stupid comments from Obama, no Al Sharpton & Jesse Jackson yelling racism & looking to do their usual extortion for $

I could care less how it started and could care less about Zimmerman.
What I do care about is the media & Obama turning this into a race issue.

When someone is cracking your head on the pavement....yes it could be justified.

Quote from Obama...."If I had a son I would want him to be like Travon." Apparently the anoited one did not know his rap sheet was an arms length....I myself would not want a son like that.

was Martin attacked? Was there any proof that Zimmerman attached Martin? Any proof? Did Martin have any wounds other than the gubshot? Clothes torn? marks on zimmermans hands from assualting Martin? Nope, none of the above.
Zimmerman called police, did Martin? he had a cell phone.
There is no way anyone of you could have convicted Zimmerman based on the evidence.

Conjecture and BS=nothing meaningful

The killing of another when in fear for your life is very subjective. Different folks reach the point of no return at different times in a struggle. First thing the jurors had to ask themselves who had the right to belong there, Zimmerman or Martin. Regardless of whether or not the gun gave him more balls, (hell I know many cops who wouldn't have left the station without one, ands that probably why they wanted the job, to carry one) he had the gun because he volunteered for the neighborhood watch. You can rant about the dispatcher telling him not to follow the kid. The dispatcher has no lawfull authority over George Zimmerman or anyone else. Was it sound advice, more than likely though. When Zimmerman still followed the dispatcher should have reasoned with Zimmerman to at least follow from a distance. Zimmerman never made any racial statement on the cell phone call. The only racial bias I heard during the trial came from the Martin witnesses. What he did was lumped Martin in with other perps, real or not, that have caused problems in his condo development. Anyone of us might have come to the same judgement, but probably would have minded our business. The kid made a terrible seventeen year old mistake that he paid the ultimate price for. I would be willing to bet Martin showed no respect to Zimmerman, because he was a hispanic man. Hispanic people are the majority in Florida and have been for several years.

You have to remember, someone not physically fit(Zimmerman), a wuss, a female, an older person, they are going to pull that trigger much sooner than most. And the victim has the right to use a greater force against the perpetrator than is being used against them. Gun v.s. sidewalk, gun wins.

Of course Martin does.....so does zimmerman....who threw the first punch?....its all hear say....no eye witness saw who threw the first punch.

yesterday I was ready to knock a young guy off his motor cycle with a bat....he saw the bat and turned around ...he was doing 40 in a 25....of course I would have been wrong
