Zimmermann Charged with Murder.....

[Dagny]

Not at all Dagny, I just want to remind you that part of a parents job is to keep their kids safe and that includes keeping them off the streets at inappropriate times. As a parent myself, it appears to me that when you look at the history of this poor kid, he's another statistic about what happens to children in divorces. It seems that his behavior really started to go downhill about the time his parents broke up and here he is out at night in a strange neighborhood while his father visits his squeeze and forgets to supervise his son.

And what of Zimmerman's parents? Why was he out hunting at 7 p.m? And what makes 7 pm inappropriate? Because nobody can see black people, unless they smile? You do realize that Trayvon and his brother/father were watching the NBA allstar game TOGETHER?

The more I see of this case, the more unfortunate it is. Zimmerman appears to have gone beyond the bounds of safe neighborhood watch policy. The kid made a bad decision, one of a number he seemed to be making as he got older. Things got out of hand, one person is dead, another is probably going to get convicted of at least manslaughter and his life is pretty much screwed regardless.

Just because it took you longer to 'see' the obvious, doesn't mean that it wasn't obvious from the start.

And we have all those black bigots, from Obama on down, turning this thing into a three ring circus of hate speech that has already resulted in other beatings and killings.

To be clear....those 'bigots' are the only reason that charges were brought. The white bigots had already swept the murder under the rug. Why no reference to them?

No winners here, just losers. What I notice is that Barack Obama is the most racially divisive POTUS ever to occupy the White House. The results are plain to see. Imagine what would happened here if he took a very strong stand against the race baiting from the beginning and told Sharpton and the rest to STFU and let the process work. Instead, he waved the green flag at all the black bigots and they were off to the races.

And I noticed that you've reduced yourself to ultra right wing talking points.

Obama is the most racially divisive president why? He's uppity enough to live in the big house?

Zimmerman was supposedly an adult, not a 17 year old teenager, genius.

Those "bigots" are the only reason charges were brought? Let's see your proof of that, please.

Never mind, just more of your ranting.

As is the rest of your post. Go take your meds.

As the only person to volunteer when the homeowners association wanted to organize a community watch,^[43] Zimmerman was appointed coordinator by his neighbors, according to Wendy Dorival, Neighborhood Watch organizer for the Sanford Police Department.^[48] The February 2012 homeowner association newsletter requested that crime victims "call our captain, George Zimmerman" after calling the police.^[10] "He once caught a thief and an arrest was made," said Cynthia Wibker, secretary of the homeowners association, referring to Zimmerman.^[43]

Police had been called to The Retreat at Twin Lakes 402 times from January 1, 2011, to February 26, 2012.^[43] Crimes committed at The Retreat in the year prior to Martin's death included eight burglaries, nine thefts and one shooting.^[43] The City of Sanford posted a "George Zimmerman 911 Call History" listing 46 event reports naming George Zimmerman as the caller between 2004 and the night of the shooting.^{[49][50][51] [Note 1]}

Zimmerman was a criminal justice student and also licensed to carry a firearm.^[43] Sanford police chief Bill Lee stated that neighborhood watch volunteers are not encouraged to carry a gun but have a Constitutional right to do so.^[43] Lee further stated, "Mr. Zimmerman was not acting outside the legal boundaries of Florida Statute by carrying his weapon when this incident occurred."

One thing is for sure.....Corey won't be able to touch him on the gun charge. So all that political fallout over Florida's Law. Will be going nowheres. Plus now that this Special prosecutor has proven she is biased. I think we will be seeing more calls for her head. Since she is so emotinionally involved.

You still haven't told us why 7 pm is inappropriate? And why isn't it inappropriate to be out hunting at that hour?

Why didn't Zimmerman know that there were some $#@! families living in that neighborhood? He didn't knock on those doors?

[Mainecoons]

Zimmerman didn't care from squat about color. He was rightfully concerned about all the crime there, dummy. The kid didn't live there.

But black families do live there. He told 911 that Martin 'looked like he was up to no good'.

Can you tell me what a 17 year old child, returning home, has to do to look like he's up to no good?

What you don't think there were any black members in the association? Moreover the Association wanted a Watchgroup.....yet no one else wanted to do anything but look out their windows. Do you think in communities that have gangs and druggies, and or high crime for their own specific region within the country. One can just look out the windows to take control of their neighborhoods and or communities?

Evidence by the 911 call that all and including that prosector thought he said coon. Now the enhanced version in clear audible tone they hear he says "Cold". So all that Martin's Mother is saying can be taken with a grain of salt.

The question on the table, is about the self appointed neighborhood watch captain.

Why, if he's so responsible, didn't he know who did, and didn't 'belong' in the neighborhood?

Seems like a pretty simple question...no?

What made Trayvon appear as if he was 'up to no good'?

Especially given that it is incumbent upon the neighborhood hero, to know who lives there, and who doesn't.
