The question that needs to be answered is who struck who first
The last bit of information was the testimony of Martins girl friend stating that Zimmerman approached Martin and asked who are you and martin asking why are you following me Then the phone went dead
that is not evidence that Zimmerman struck or tried to grab Martin some are just making an assumption that he did
The next peace of evidence we have is the eye witness saying that Martin is on top of Zimmerman beating him and Zimmerman crying for help
the information we need to know to charge Zimmerman happened between those two pieces of evidence that we don't have and we need to have to say Zimmerman is guilty of a crime
What will help with the investigation is the time stamps for Zimmerman last call to 911 the call between Martin and his girlfriend and the eye witness call to 911. If compared the times will give us a better idea what happened
So the speculations and assumptions needs to stop
Then why are you here speculating......Take your own advice.
It does not any more matter who struck who first......Who stalked who.....Who was carrying a gun and though he was above reproach.....it was not Trayvon....
Zimmermon, the bully walked away....did not get medical attention until the next day.....if he cried he was crying for himself, not Trayvon.....
Now they are trying to make Trayvon look bad. Fools.
Why was this boy killed, why was some other kind of detainment used.....that would have cleared the air and Trayvon would have been able to speak for himself.
Arrest Zimmermon and have a trial.....fair and just. No excuses
Thankful, And if he is found not guilty, then you can call for the Feds to charge him, and if found not guilty again, then you can let the New Black Panthers with their $10,000.00 bounty handle Zimmerman, right?
Many have found Zimmerman guilty without a trial. It is a sad day in the United States when a group of citizens posts a bounty on another citizen without Government intervention. I will be surprised if Zimmerman is still alive if it is determined a trail is warranted. And somehow I doubt there will be any coverage on MSNBC that is all but promoting such action. It is truly shameful.
So when is it legal to attack some one who is following you and asking you a question?
and Show me how it is illegal to follow someone and then asking them a question
If that is the case most reporters need to be arrested for following someone and asking them questions
Why was drug and alcahol tests performed on Trayvon and not Zimmerman? Why no forensic reports? Why did this so called witness wait so long to come forward? Many questions. Few answers. Just the fact that Zimmerman, 240 lbs., was following Trayvon is reason enough for Trayvon to fear him thus attack him. If in fact that is what happened. Who has control over the Black Panthers? Are you saying we should be responsible for what they do?
When an officer is involved in a shooting, of any kind, his weapons is immediatly taken into custudy. This man is still walking around with his. Does that sound reasonable?
Speculating again....zimmerman said he was following Trayvon, and if someone were following you for no reasons, and was bigger and meaner than you are, you would not defend yourself.
Black boys are taught not to run. He told his friend he was going to walk faster. Zimmerman says, "They always get away".......He was asked if he was following him. He said yes. He was then told we don't want you to do that.......He also was not suppose to be carrying a gun on his watch. He did not need to shot to kill, a gun when shown speaks for itself.
Are you the secret witness, and you talk as if you were there......Why do you defend this fool.
When tracy won her trial in florida, she walke......Maybe zim will walk...but let us find out......Gee does sound like the two of you are paranoid much.
Guy with a gun pulls gun on TV photography team.....Guess what the TV guy carries a gun to......

Thankful, I was not there, neither were you. If you were there and had personal knowledge of the crime history of the location, personally interviewed Zimmerman and the witnesses, listened to the 911 calls, gathered all available evidence and then had knowledge of the Florida Laws and applied the facts as represented by the evidence to those laws, I would say your conclusions were valid. I am confident there were Law Enforcement personnel at the scene that did these vary things, and you don't like their conclusions. I really don't think you will be satisfied until Zimmerman is dead and I really don't think the truth matters to you, you have made up your mind.
Too bad, you are wrong. I just want the case heard. I never at any time said I wanted him dead.....so do you think it will shut me up if you try to decide what I think as well. Don't try and put words in my post that are not there. My arguments have never been for anything but Justice.
If you ever have an injustice done to you, look me up. I'll fight for you and I hope you would be alive when I did. Not dead.
Agreed the police screwed up
Im sure there is just hasn't been released like alot of the evidence in this case, That is why we don't assume anything till we have all the information
he did he was questioned by the police that night and his story matched Zimmermans one reason he wasnt charged. he also gave an interview a few days after the shooting to a local tv station with the same story he told the police. see this what happens when all you do is get your information from MSNBC they will only tell you what they want you to know so do your self a favor turn the station once and awile to get all the information
Martin was over 6ft tall 160 ponds football player if you would ask me who i would put money on in a fight it would be Martin
what we are saying is the Black Panthers are publicly breaking the law this bounty is kidnapping for hire it is a federal offence up to 25 years in jail and anyone contributing to this bounty can be charged as an accessory we are asking why arnt you or anyone demanding their arrest
And Zimmermans Gun was and still is taken from him and he was put in hand cuffs and taked to the station
Just another example of only getting your information from MSNBC

Thankful, By saying you are seeking Justice, you are saying Justice has yet to be done. The Fourth Amendment requires the existence of Probable Cause prior to the issuance of an arrest warrant. Probable Cause is a reasonable belief based on facts and circumstances that a crime has been committed and that the subject of arrest committed that crime. The law enforcement officials, that have a much greater knowledge of the facts and circumstances of the incident, have not made an arrest, perhaps because they have yet to develop Probable Cause. But maybe they have completed their investigation and determined that facts and circumstances of the incident did not meet or satisfy the elements of a crime. If the later is the case, I doubt you would you agree Justice had been done. You are asking or demanding something other than Justice.
2.......Why do you feel you are better informed than I am. I've expressed my view .... too bad you do not like them. I will say what I think.....you have no authority that excludes you from being wrong, any more than I do.

Thankful, I don't believe I am better than you nor do I think I am incapable of being wrong. I do have faith in our legal system and in our law enforcement community. While I believe this incident and Trayvon Martin's death is very sad, I must concede to the experts; the Police Department and the DA in Florida.
trf,
everything you wrote above in defense of zimmerman is NOT TRUE.
his gun was not taken from him.
where are you getting your "facts"?
you are proving how misinformed you are, like the rest of the people who watch fox news, the most misinformed of ALL news viewers.
Suzette, The Palm Beach Post reported, "The handgun that killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old, was fired once — not twice — by a neighborhood crime watch volunteer . . . Police found a single shell casing at the scene, and when they seized George Zimmerman’s handgun, a Kel Tel [sic] 9 mm, its magazine was full, according to a source close to the investigation. The only bullet missing was the one in the chamber, the source said."
looks like he went out with a gun, was trigger happy. why did he get out of his autmobile and approach the youngman. when police told him not to. if the young man was simply walking back home from store was trying to breakin to a home or anything then he had no business doing anything. i bet the young man thought he was a robber and with a gun i could see him defending himself. feel so sorry for his family.
he had the right to carry that gun he had a state issued permit and who is anyone to say if he did not have that gun and didn't use it it could have been Zimmerman getting beat to death
Ever thought that gun might have saved his life
Zimmerman 240 lbs. Trayvon 140 lbs. Zimmerman was told not to follow. No need for him to get out of his vehicle.
We have a neighborhood watch. It states, any and all suspicous person/persons, vehicles or activity, will be reported. That all any neighborhood watch is legally supose to do. This was not even a legal neighborhood watch program.
That gun did not save his life....it killed Trayvon.
Which one is it?
or
No one commenting on this was there, how do you KNOW this?

Thankful, Zimmerman suffered injuries to the back of his head and a broken nose according to news reports. Who is to say absent the gun, Zimmerman would not have been killed? If you were knocked to the ground and beaten, would you not defend yourself with any means available? Being you understand the the Great In Justices perpetrated on minorities by the Evil White Suppressors, you would welcome the attack.

I think we all can say for certainty that Trevon is dead and it was Zimmerman's gun which killed him. The police botched this case beyond belief. By the time FL gets through with it, Trevon will be a drug addicted hoodlum and Zimmerman will be a lifelong member of the NAACP, and a friend of Al Sharpton.
Please..
Amen, India.
are you that sure if martim wasnt shot he would have stopped beating on Zimmerman?
So are you saying any evidence that comes out showing that Martin wasnt this sweet little 13 year kid that MSNBC portrayed him as most be a lie because we all know MSNBC doesnt lie
Well here are 2 lies off the bat
first we was told that Martin was suspended from school for to many tardies then we was told it was from being in a unauthorized part of school now we are told it is for a bag of pot
His father first told the police it wasnt his sons voice screaming for help on the 911 tape now he is saying it is
See the truth is starting to come out and the lies from the media is starting to be revealed
Any one wanting to support Trayvon.....can read Tylers article and copy and paste the hoodie figure you see here on my abatar to your avatar in support of Trayvon.

You are right TM the attempts at trying to engage trolls into meaningful discourse is a waste of time, all they ever do is repeat the same garbage, keep changing the goal and then accuse you of what they are doing as we have seen time after time after time. One dead give away is asking for links then attempting to discredit those links with Fox news links or wikipedia links or just saying the most outrageous things to anger yet offer nothing that backs up their nonsense.
I can assure you, none of them paid it any mind......A better way of saying DNFTT
Where did I get my info.....I posted him some fake noise accounts.....
1.2 Do you not know with all the rhetoric regarding President Obama there are already many good citizens want to do harm to him. What about tar baby and all the other names President Obama has been called. All Mitch McConnell is concerned about is getting Obama out of the White House. Not the economy; not jobs but getting Obama out of the White House. People are without jobs all because Mitch McConnell and the Congress hate an African American man in the White House. All McConnell did not say is the normal racist remark. So 1.2 there are already many good citizens of these United States of America wanting to do harm to him. The stupid governor in Arizona; just look at what she did. Would you have tolerated someone pointing their finger in your face? The answer for myself is No. So is it possible for you to believe there are many of our good citizens want to do harm? If you are a Black person then the answer is YES and the reason is that person is BLACK. The same reason for the Martin boy. The only reason Zimmerman approached that boy he thought he was up to something because his hand was inside his pants. What a lame excuse. The boy was approached because he was Black and that is the age old reason many policeman and people like Zimmerman say and do things to African Americans because of the color of their skin and then say it was self-defense.
I watched the video of Herman Cain and the bunny.I am appalled! As a 4-H ad-visor of 10 years and an owner of many rabbits. This little Dutch rabbit we show at our fair and my kids took first , second, and third ribbons. To see them used in a political commercial this way makes me mad as hell ! There is no relevance of shooting a rabbit and the economy. Cain sure is scraping the barrel on this one! Rabbit hurt or not the image is so wrong especially for kids and Easter on its way. Plus its politicising cruelty to animals!!!! YOU ARE SO SHAMEFUL MR, CAIN!!!!! NIEN, NEIN, NEIN TO THIS ADD!!!!!!!!
This whole dam mess is the fault of the corrupt, incompetent Sanford police dept. The least they were obligated to do is take the shooter for testing, drug etc. and if he had a hole in his head, a broken nose and a busted lip, why not a medical evaluation. No competent law enforcement would walk away from a crime scene, with a dead body and tell the murderer to just run along where ever you want to go.
Zimmerman as all of the followers of the NRA, had to pack a 9mm to make him feel like a big bad wolf so he go hunting black male teenagers so he could shoot to kill.
Trayvon was walking home.
Travon saw a man following him.
Trayvon was afraid.
Trayvon's girlfriend said run.
Trayvon said no.
Doesn't Trayvon also have the right to stand his ground against threat of harm?
I have a feeling that Trayvon felt threatened before Zimmerman did.
Paul Ryan's new budget plan is completely a plan for allowing Republicans to vote against it for political purposes. The plan will only establish that criteria, period.
Mitt Romney is the prefect poster child for the GOP! The health care mandate was the GOPs to begin with they have done a 180 on health care! Like Mitt on every issue. Its the law in every state that you must have auto insurance and your rates are higher just in case you have an accident with a auto worth more than $200000 dollars and why do you people let them get away with it. As multi billionaire Dick Cheney get someone's heart (That may be uninsured) in his chest and all at the expense of us the taxpayer! The Public Heath Option would have given the rest of us the choice of the same type of coverage members of congress receive at about 2/5 the cost of getting it off the street! If you do not raise hell over this it will be a sad sad day in the USA!

Sign petition to support health care reform!!!
I am watching O'Reilly..Juan Williams is trying to get O'REALLY to see the truth. The TRUTH is SOMEONE connected in the police department is connected to Zimmerman!!! CYA (Oh, that's another word for Goon).
About Obamacare, not being popular, check back over the many years and see if everything Congress has passed were popular at the time, like Equal Rights, Voting Rights, even Medicare. Republicans will not support it even if they are getting benefits from it. Why? President Barack Obama.
