Marijuana possession. Definitely reason to get followed and shot walking back to your girlfriends place. Is this a different discussion if it is an adult black guy who follows an unarmed kid and shoots him? What if Trayvon pulled a weapon and defended himself with it?

I dont think anyone is saying he deserved it. I think people are putting out facts that may or may not have relevance. The media and news reports have been pretty one sided. Originally I thought this was a little boy that was killed based on the pics and reaction. Now it seems were dealing with more that originally thought. Let the investigation happen and lets review the evidence.

Zimmy, you have a bright future as an interpreter of sorts. Every statement I make you have an uncanny ability to interpret to your liking. A Kreskin-like gift you either developed or were born with,kudos.

Apparently in a 3 day period in the same week this kid was killed in Florida , in Obama's home city of Chicago there were 23 murders.
Don't think Obama made a comment on one of them nor did Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton.
I'll bet $ all 23 in Chicago were black on black murders !

And I'll bet all of these were acts of murder, homicide or manslaughter. From what I've read the actual rate of guns used to kill in self defense is really, really low.

In the Zimmerman situation, you have a guy with multiple arrests for violence, who's carrying when he's not supposed to be, perusing a person he's not supposed to be and placing himself into harms way by engaging with someone he himself has declared suspicious which he also knows he's not supposed to be doing. The police would have known all this when he was in custody.

The lead investigator doesn't believe his story and wants him held and charged with manslaughter.

Because he claims self defense the burden is now on the police to find enough evidence he's lying, which the State says they don't have, so he walks a few hours later after killing a teenager with a bag of Skittles.

Something really isn't right here.
