    Very true. Zimmerman provoked him and Martin made it physical. The details aren't clear though, Martin saying something along the lines of "I'm going to kill you" can't be proven. I agree with the lack of conviction, but Zimmerman was a POS that was looking for trouble, knowing he was armed.

    The details were quite clear. Zimmerman called the police. They told him to return to his car and not approach Martin. He did as he was instructed. Martin picked the fight with “the creepy cracker” and got killed. There’s a moral to that story, but you won’t be able to figure it out.

    Your on neighborhood watch. You have had break-ins recently. You see a young kid walking around the neighborhood reportedly looking at homes.
    You call the cops just like many times before with varying degrees of response. Zimmerman in no way provoked him.

    You are not going to follow the guy? Really? I am.

    So, no I am Trayvon. I am a 17 yo kid again. Someone is following me around. Am I going to turn on him and kick the crap out of him. Absolutely.

    I never said I was a smart kid at 17. I'm still not smart enough to run. I would still turn and be confrontational.

    So this is a unfortunate case of a black kid attacking a Hispanic dude that he felt was harassing him, while the Hispanic dude was in his rights to follow him and actually acting on the behalf of the neighborhood.

    Not sure how this became a race issue by anyone except for the MSM that pinned him as a white Tea Partier and A-holes like Al Sharpton that scream racism when every chance he gets to profit by it.

    Hahaha, you paint a pretty picture in favor of Zimmerman. He called the cops on people constantly. He was following Zimmerman and looking at his character, wasn't quietly keeping an eye on him while being respectful. Again, people will try and say that I'm making points that I am not, so I'll say that the case was decided correctly, but trying to paint Zimmerman as a gentleman just doing his job as a good neighborhood watch guy seems pretty dishonest.

    LOL, I like the picture you paint. Zimmerman sounds like a nice, innocent guy. I couldn't disagree more.

    In this case Zimmerman did nothing wrong. The fault here was all on Martin. Too bad the kid isn’t able to get a second chance.

    As it turned out, after more came out about Zimmerman, he wasn't such a good guy........Trayvon wasn't, either.

    No. Actually you are making things up about Zimmerman to fit your narrative. I'm not sure why you feel the need to convict Zimmerman's character to make Trayvon look innocent.
