    Nah, it was self defense. Trayvon should not have ambushed George.

    That sounds like a distorted view.

    So you are now depending on "perhaps" to support your fairy tale?

    George should not have followed Trayvon. None of us really knows what happened at the end.

    He was on top and beating Zimmerman to death. As to his buying juice and Skittles, he should have shopped a bit longer.

    Factually the Jury who are the true experts on this declared Zimmerman is not guilty.

    We all know what happened. It is just some of us are willing to admit the truth.

    Are Democrats hoping they can resurrect Martin? If not, why attack Zimmerman?

    Fairy tale? It's common sense that he would have sensed "stranger danger" when being scoped out and followed by a strange man at night. Zimmerman's behavior was suspicious and concerning.

    I have a very poor opinion of Zimmerman and I don't think he can blame the media or Trayvon's family. Is reputation was caused by his foolish actions.

    Didn’t give Martin the right to attack him.
    If you are being followed - walk away. I would understand the fight if Martin was cornered.

    Aren't you the person who said that Trayvon had a criminal record, which doesn't appear to be true?

    Rather than attack Zimmerman, Martin should have ran as fast as he could to his uncle's home. Martin got into serious trouble by attacking Zimmerman and this the Jury agreed to.

    No, it didn't but Zimmerman is a low life who was the catalyst for the incident and now he wants to profit. Disgusting ... I don't think he'll get a penny from the family.

    I'm going to finish cooking dinner. This case will haunt us for decades and was the impetus for Black Lives Matter. Thanks, Zimmy!

    Here is what I believed happened to Martin. Martin and this girl were kind of arguing. She was involved with a different guy and Martin was very upset. His texts and hers were part of the court record. She is no longer willing to have sex with Martin and he was fuming. He saw Zimmerman in the path back of him and returned to attack Zimmerman taking out his anger on Zimmerman since the girl that figures into this case was not there to slap her.

    And it cost him his life.

    Wait, was Zimmerman this low life prior to him shooting Martin? As to your love of black lives matter, that movement costs blacks their lives and does not improve blacks lives at all.

    It won't haunt me. Cracking open his casket has sure upset you.

    no they don't, if z started it and martin was fighting for his life, would expect to see those kinda of wounds on z as well, so the wounds prove nothing

    if someone attacked you and you defended yourself, would their wounds then be proof you started it?

    I look at it from all angles, you are only looking at it from Martin bad\Zimmerman good - maybe both saw the other as a threat, this can cause mistakes on both sides if neither is really a threat

    legally stalking is not the same as stalking in common day speak, they are two different things, one requires a higher standard to be met

    like jay walking vs walking, both are walking, one is a crime

    Zimmerman was rightfully found not guilty, but his life was justifiably ruined after that.

    Zimmerman's mistake was arming himself and playing superhero when blacks moved into his neighborhood, and promptly began ruining it with their criminality.

    The only strategy that works in such a situation is white flight. Blacks move in, you move out, problem solved.

    I need only point to George Zimmerman to show you the thanks you're going to get for defending your neighborhood against black thugs in the current politically-deranged climate.

    Stalking is a legal term and Martin wasn't prey, Zimmerman was not trying to apprehend him. He was observing him as the dispatcher had asked him to do.

    Since there were no witnesses Zimmer an cannot proove that he was jumped. Martin was defending himself from a loser cop wannabe.
