    If a pudgy middle aged man with a gun can’t chase down some skinny teen after the 911 dispatch explicitly told him to stay put, confront and shoot said unarmed teen in “self defense” and get off scott free, then the terrorists have won!.

    Which actually justified Zimmerman’s call to the cops when he saw a teenaged kid walking around in the rain looking at people’s houses (that’s pretty much the only thing neighborhood watches are for). But everything changed after he called 911and they told him explicitly to stop following the kid. He got a vigilante rush that lead to the kids death. I don’t see how this could be anything but 1st degree murder.

    Even if you did smoke a joint , thats just what teens tend to do. It’s not like he was a addicted to heroin or crack and marijuana is not at all the same. Think Billy Graham.

    Who doesn’t wear hoodies? Anyway dressing to shock their elders is a sort of rite of passage in teens. If he were a white boy I doubt any of this would be brought up.If Zimmerman was black, you Know faux news would be screaming from the other side And so would most rightwing teapotty members.

    OH Yah! And we saw all his wounds and his dirtied backside when police were booking him…wouldn’t be surprised if the “Protect and Sever” police force helped him self-inflict.

    “Enough of this slander against Zimmerman.”Without any regard to either person’s color, Zimmerman disobeyed 911 dispatch’s orders to stay put. He followed and confronted the kid. He caused the very situation he claimed to need to use deadly force in self defense against an unarmed person.

    The worst for Trayvon is that he’s dead. Maybe it was all a tragic mistake, but still, he’s dead. Maybe Zimmerman doesn’t profile, maybe he’s just a little too eager, maybe it’s just his eagerness to keep the neighborhood safe that led him to bring his gun, but still, Trayvon is dead. He went to the store and bought tea and skittles, but he’s dead.

    Let’s address the hoodie issue first. This fall watch any New England Patriot game. Note their coach on the sidelines. Bill Belichick will be wearing a hoodie.

    As to the drug issue, are you saying anyone who uses drugs deserves to be shot?

    You charge that Travon Martin was ‘acting like a hood’. Do you have any evidence that George Zimmerman observed any hoodlum like behavior?

    Zimmerman will be arrested. You don’t hire high profile lawyers when you think you’ll stay free. And the evidence against him is monstrous. Even SYG won’t save him from what he did. Despicable.

    Seems the NBC tapes were edited. Seems the producer responsible for that was fired by said NBC. Seems the videos do show a wounded Zimmerman. Seems it wasn’t a hate crime after all.

    Well, doggone it, think about it: you’re a half-wit, see, and the cops you are sucking (up to) will SO respect you once you’ve actually SHOT someone…and here’s your CHANCE! Gotta gotta gotta, he might get away! “Hey you…”Old ‘Z’, with his eyes about an inch apart and his never-used gun heavy in his ‘approved’ holster…I’m surprised he didn’t get ‘buck fever’, because THAT ‘BOY’ was for sure trophy material.And I’ve been shooting since i was FOUR and have been an NRA member twice, and THEY SUCK too. Stupid ignorant jerks when it comes to social interaction. I have far too much respect for citizenship to EVER hang out with the NRA.They make good guys if you ever need a tire changed, though. Or if you ever need to shoot a kid. Or a law to sell more guns….

    i remember reading this isnt the first time he follows someone when he shouldnt

    he chased a reckless driver ……..later the driver told the cops he though zimmerman was going to attack him

    seems mr zimm never thought about how scary is being followed by someone you never seen before
