George Zimmerman's head

read my post, nuff said     never gonna get the point through your head, be sure to read it all, maybe the facts as we know them will

-----------------------

You don't have a point and the only facts you seem to have are the ones you made up.

He can get out of his car any time he wants.  It's a free country.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And not only that.  The homeowners in that area had formed the neighborhood watch and authorized him to not only be there, but to deal with any suspicious activity. OTOH, Trayvon had no legal right for where he was.

With a loaded gun, no, I don't think you can do that any time you want. This country is not that free

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 It sure is..

Zimmerman was neither trained nor otherwise qualified to take on the duties he assumed.  The outcome of his confrontation with Trayvon Martin most likely would not have been fatal had he

(Zimmerman) acted sensibly, As to being "doped up," the investigative reports show that Zimmerman was pretty loaded up with prescription meds that could have significantly influenced his judgment  much more that the "trace amount" of THC in Martin's system.

Bottom line: this sad, tragic event was avoidable. Law enforcement and security operations should be left to trained professionals, not wannabe volunteers.

well congrats you have proved I don't know everything, geez and I though I did.  You would have to ask his parents about the pictures, why she retracted her statement, why they don't know for sure its Trayvon's voice, nobody really does. And let's see you will need to call the news station that you say edited a video and maybe you can call Zimmerman and ask him shy he is referred to as a white hispanic. I did see earlier today that one of his parents in hispanic and one is white so......... Again give these folks a call because your right, I don't know everything. By the way did you read the artical I posted from CNN, that's a news station and one of the places I get my information, now where do you get yours, you never mentioned it

-----------------------

No, I want YOU to tell us. You sure knew everything a while ago.  Here you go, I posted this earlier, on this thread, guess you just "overlooked" it.

you have no business even commenting on this, lonely person with nothing better to do. Yeah I wrote the CNN article, every bit of it, I made it all up. Maybe there's to many big words for you to read it, if there is just read my posts they say the same thing 

--------------------------------------

I have no "business" to comment but you do? Now why would that be? Lonely person with nothing better to do? Who? You? Funny, you're right here posting your little fingers to the nubs and going after anyone that doesn't agree with you like a rabid dog. I didn't accuse you of writing any news story, far from it.  From the mistakes in your posts you're barely able to write them, much less a news article. Big words? Do I look like I've had any problems with your words so far? You can't point to ONE post of mine that "supports" either zimmerman or martin. And I'm sorry, but your word/opinion as to what happened isn't good enough for me to condemn zimmerman either. So I'll do what any other rational sane person will do and wait and see what the facts are. 

Well Zimmerman should have stayed in his car like he was told and he wouldn't have a scratched head and Trayvon Martin wouldn't have a bullet in his heart and 6 foot under. BOTTOM LINE: He should have NEVER gotten out of his car, no business getting out of his car.

Well By some of these replies I see we are surely in the south and I bet some of you are thumping your bibles with your other hand while your defending a murderer on your computer. Zimmerman was simply on neighborhood watch and had no business having a gun. When he called in after seeing a young BLACK man casually walking he immediately thought he was up to no good, which he wasn't. He was armed with a bottle of tea and some skittles and as I understand was headed home to watch a NBA basketball game and talking to his girlfriend on the phone. Zimmerman called it in and instead of doing what the dispatcher told him to do, which was NOT follow the boy to wait for police but he decided to take the law in his own hands. If somebody walked up on me with those wild eyes of Zimmerman I would get scared too and defend myself I would think HE was trying to hurt me I would have no idea who he was. I don't care what trace amount of drugs Trayvon had in his system all I care about is that he had a bullet in his heart that WOULD NOT have been there if Zimmerman had not tried to take the law in his OWN hands and stayed in his vehicle. If you people see it any other was your in denial. Even the investigators said IF he had stayed in his vehicle it could all have been avoided. So search in your hearts the ones that are calling this boy a pothead and saying he deserved it for fighting back and figure out the REAL reason your against this young black boy. AGAIN! HE SHOULD HAVE NEVER GOT OUT OF HIS VEHICLE  BOTTOM LINE!

The presence of the "sleeping pill" in Zimmerman's blood is pretty irrelevant since the metabolites of that drug can linger for up to 7-10 days and still be detected by most forms of drug testing.  He also had a prescription for that drug.  The presence of THC in Martin's blood could also be determined to be from several days previous, however the presence of it in both the blood and the urine tends to say that the intake was pretty recent. Again, not to be unexpected, but THC is not a prescribed drug and its presence carries a little more weight in the matter.

Martin did no deserve to die, but neither of these inidividuals are totally free from blame.  As much as people want to blame Zimmerman for "getting out of the car" there is just as much blame for Martin. He could have handled the situation better himself. Zimmerman was tasked with helping protect a neighborhood where numerous break-ins had occurred.  Martin was a new face in the neighborhood, but was rightly there just the same.  A little communication and civility on both parts would have gone a long way. If Zimmerman approached Martin and asked him his intentions, all Martin had to do was answer him politely and identify himself. It appears however that both reacted irrationally.

In any case, it is tragic.  A young man lost his life, and another has ruined his. Sadly this happens much to often in this country because people have forgotten how to be civil to one another.

In other words whoever doesn't agree with your evaluation is in denial? Did you wittness this incident? I believe I read where Zimmerman had a permit to carry a weapon. Unless Obama has already been elected to a second term I believe we still have a right to bear arms. And although the media with Al Sharpton Cheerleading has tried and convicted Zimmerman already he is still inocent until proven guilty I think you're the one in denial you're all for denying Zimmerman his right to a fair trial.

well put!

a little bit of civility ... i think we're losing that part of society. looking at what we know so far... i'd say this simple statement may or may not have changed the outcome... "excuse me, i'm on neighborhood watch... the neighborhood has had several breakins... do you live around here?"

the next deciding factor would be how this young man handled that situation.. did he start with the attitude of "you're racial profiling me"... or would he have been receptive of a well worded question?

we'll never know the answers. anyway, two lives ruined... not good. period.
