Crib notes version. The first cops on the scene were from Narcotics squad who didn't inverview Zemmerman. They asked lead type questions and generally did a piss poor job of collecting evidence and eye witness accounts. An example for me would be if Zimmerman was truly getting his head slammed into the ground, and got his nose broken, he would have went to the hospital. Also the police would have taken photos of his battered face for evidence. They didn't, and that's a integral part of his defense. If they would have done a proper job from the beginning, we could have the ball rolling in court. Just for you, I'll try not to embellish so much. Granted, there are one or two instances of non-black 911 calls he made, but that doesn't change what I stated previously. Quote:

Zimmerman said he was walking back to his SUV when Martin then pursued him. If that's the case then it seems like the stand your ground law would apply? Even if Zimmerman initially started the sequence of events, when Martin had the chance to walk away after Zimmerman stops pursuit but decides to now confront Zimmerman, logically it seems like Zimmerman can now claim self-defense.
Whether or not this actually happened is sorta irrelevant. It's Zimmerman's word alone and the police have to basically accept that as what happened unless witnesses come forward to say otherwise. |

SMH... Evidence number one, he called 911 they told him to stand down he instead followed him. Evidence number two, he was a self appointed neighborhood watch captain Evidence number three, how can you claim self defense when the person your defending yourself from doesn't have any weapon? Race aside, I just ask people to think logically. Everything about this case is wrong.. Period point blank! Quote:
Please try to find a way to make a rationale argument in how that matters in anyway shape or form? ps.... I'll wait patiently! Quote:
They aren't meant to wrongfully jail anyone, but to ensure that due diligence is done. Its no reason, this man shouldn't be locked up pending the investigation. Nothing about this case screams self defense, i'm sorry. |

A hoodie is not suspicious clothing. A lot of people wear them, even when its warm.
You don't need a "weapon" to be deadly/cause major bodily harm.

With that logic, Trayvon would still be alive and Zimmerman dead... Zimmerman had a gun, Trayvon didn't... Think logic and rationality, not race... |

Self defense is self defense, someone doesn't have to have an equal amount of "firepower" to defend themselves. If someone felt that their life was in danger enough to draw a weapon and shoot then more than likely there is a bit more to the story then suspected. Anyways it's all he said she said shit anyways, nobody on here was at the scene of the crime so you are all arguing over semantics. You can't petition someone into jail and rioting certainly isn't going to help your cause. |

It's the word of someone that is alive against someone that is dead. Unless a first hand witness comes out with additional evidence there is nothing you can do. does not matter what happens. Even if they do take him to court, what is going to be the evidence against Zimmerman, a low quality phone recording between Zimmerman and the police department where he allegedly made racist comments towards trayvon? This is a failed case right from the beginning no matter how you look at it and who's side you take. There is no hard evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that Zimmerman is guilty of manslaughter or even criminal negligence.

i could care less about the whole race thing (im a young black male), but its the negligence of the police officers who didnt follow procedures on the initial investigation, tried to correct witnesses, and failed to follow all leads. Also the blatant disregard to the police dispatchers orders that zimmerman showed and subsequently concluded in the death of a kid (no matter the size he's a kid) who only had skittles and ice tea in his possesion. In ANY case that results with a death in a confrontation between two citizen (not included law enforcement obviously), the person who killed the other should be put in jail until a bond is posted or the trial is over.
I will again ask... Would you be happy with the investigation conducted if this was your 17 year old son? |

There is certainly plenty of things that were handled incorrectly in this case, and that is quite obvious, however that doesn't automatically make Zimmerman guilty though. Yes it was a teenager, yes he was a minority which I wish wasn't the primary focus in this, but teenagers are just as capable of violence as anyone else. Everybody knows when you're younger you tend to think you are invincible, and your pride tends to come first in any situation. I don't find it hard to believe that he may have come back to get back at Zimmerman for chasing him. There are two sides to every story, one of them can't be told, Zimmerman isn't going to go to jail if there isn't without a doubt proof. The really sad part is the rioting and bounties being put out, thats just plain uncivilized behavior at the least and it isn't helping anything in the situation. |

Yes you would let your kid go to the store by themself but they did it was 7pm and the sunset was problably during his way home so it was hardly dark if a person follows a person into an alley while questioning them on where they are going and why they are there with a gun in a visible location and they turn around and punch you in the face and then you pull the gun and shoot the person... as long as they hit you and there are no other witnesses its defending yourself and you dont have to have a trial, am i right? fuck no the black panther people are extreme tho lol |

The other thing is none of us know how it went down, as we were not there; Therefore we cannot jump to a conclusion without evidence. There is a reason it is innocent until proven guilty and not the other way around, because half of the people arguing for the guy to be immediately arrested have no idea what they would charge him for. There is simply not enough evidence to prove without a doubt that it WASN'T done in self defense. Here's another scenario. Lets just say Trayvon was successful in striking Zimmerman and managed to knock him out and just happened to notice he had a gun and decided to put a bullet in Zimmerman, would there be the same kind of media coverage or extreme amounts of racism going on here? Or would it be just another "regular" murder in the news. I find this kind of stuff disgusting because then it would no longer be considered a hate crime. |

Blacks make up 50-60% of prison inmates but only roughly 15% of the united states population.
Shits out of control. I can see zimmermans motive

Where are you getting your statistics? You can't just throw out numbers and not provide a source. Even if those statistics were true, not all black people are the same just like not all white people are the same, you can't go judging people based on statistics for prison inmates. At that rate it just keeps racism going.

Lets put it this way. There was WAY MORE evidence in the Casey Anthony case to put her away for murder... Look where she is now. This will be dismissed. Lets move on now.

Trayvon Martin Case: Exclusive Surveillance Video of George Zimmerman - ABC News And in response to the passive-aggressive racist's FAVORITE play (not to the above quoted unless you take it personally), the "I have tons of black friends" approach, Zimmerman's token black friend is being exposed as nothing more than a slavecatcher. (videos contained) Joe Oliver Exposed on Lawrence O'Donnell's Last Call | News One No, it does not make one a racist to call attention to the obviousness that something is (even potentially) racially rooted. However, it lends HARD to one being racist to spout off broad-sweeping generalizations, hazy-ass pseudo-"facts" and out-of-context victim blaming to a level that I have not yet seen in my almost 33 years. Now... FACT: the initial attempted charge in this case was of manslaughter... Given what we KNOW - that the now-deceased had EVERY right to be in the neighborhood and NO duty to respond to the person who murdered him and that his killer defied what he was told in order to pursue him - a manslaughter charge makes sense to me at least. OPINIONS: EVERYTHING else that has been said, up to and including the almost and overt racist shit a couple or few people have said in this thread. FACT: Zimmerman has a past that has been hidden by his position, with a dad that is a retired judge and mother who was the clerk of that court, he has a history of aggressive behaviors that are inexplicably hidden (see above FACTS) or simply reduced to slaps on the wrist. If one believes in the "good ol boy" network, then now is the time to corroborate that. Please separate facts from opinions when making statements, because I have made decisions that I will SPECIFICALLY refrain from EVER addressing at least 3 people who commented in this thread based upon their inability to do so.

I think its unfortunate that I need to clarify that I'm not arguing in defense of either part. Its obvious that the investigation into Trayvon's death got screwed up. Very few people have intimate knowledge of any FACTS regarding what happened. A lot of people bring up a lot of facts about things that happened in the past that have very little to do with what happened.
IF Zimmerman did not act in self defense, arresting him before the FACTS are put together won't result in justice. In the absence of relevant facts the media has brought a lot of attention to stuff that doesn't matter. Don't get sucked into the BS A hoodie is "suspicious"? A high school suspension matters when somebody is DEAD? Quote:
Man killed by one punch in Vegas casino brawl - CBS News One punch. Dead. That's not the only story. It doesn't matter if the fist is black, white, green or any color. No weapon does not mean not deadly. At what point IF you are being attacked do you draw the line to determine if somebody attacking you is going to kill you?
