So the police thought there was a case, and the prosecutor, thought otherwise. Isn't that a normal scenario? The prosecutor knows better than the police what is chargable, and what isn't, that is their job no? Police try to charge everything they can, and the prosecutor filters what is chargable or not.
trayvon would look like anyone of our sons from behind wearing a hood. god forbid your son is wearing a hood and walking in the rain and some overzealous neighborhood watch guy thinks he is up to no good. i'm sure if it did happen and lets say your son was not shot and killed and lived to tell you about the confrontation, your fatherly instincts would kick in and you would go confront the jerk that thought your kid was up to no good for WWH "walking while hooded".
Cop motto is "you are going to jail and let the judge sort it out."
In this case it never made it that far.
Also the State Attorney came out the scene and/or Sanford PD station that very night. Not the local DA the f'ing STATE ATTORNEY, now if that is routine procedure for the state attorney to come the crime scene within hours of it happening then he would have no time to do anything else but than to travel to crime scenes. Its hard to explain how many high ranking officials got involved in this case very very early on and why the lead investigators recommendation was not followed. The SPD may have made mistakes that night, but if the State Attorney had not over ruled him then we would not be here.
So you have to ask why would the State Attorney do that? Anyone who wants to support it please provide an example of another case where the State Attorney came out to the scene (which was a sunday night at 715 or so and some bad weather) the very night of the crime and then over rules what an experienced Homicide Detectives recommendation?
again you are quoting MSM Rating Quest media, You and I and everybody else do not know what protocal was followed here, we just are not privy to that info so as to select a fair and impartial Jury. Our minds are so filled whith he said she said that nobody could sit on a jury to impartially hear the case on Zimmerman VS. The People should this thing go to Trial........Now, should we limit HYPER MSM Free Speech so as to create an impartiality of justice...HAHAHA, there is a can of worms, no?
Are you saying you believe protocol is for the State Attorney to come out to every shooting in Florida? You can't actually believe that can you? We are quoting what has been confirmed by the media that you hate so much. It is not a secret that the State Attorney showed up that night.
And there are many people who could sit on a jury. We, on these forums are actively involved in the case, but there are plenty of people who aren't paying attention at all. A jury of his peers can and will be found.
is it protocal for the President of the United States to say "If I had a son he would look like Trayvon"

No.. actually my point would make a great point in the trial, however you keep bringing up Zimmerman's past like it means anything. It would mean something if we didn't know he shot the kid, but we know he did. Do you know WHY he fought in the past? You just keep bringing up complete non sense. The past that is more telling would be the deceased because his capabilities are the ones that need to be questioned as the question is in what did he do.
You keep trying to throw these ridiculous insults "you'd make a terrible juror, you'd make at terrible lawyer" the fact is I am making a case you can't really refute because I have thought about this from both sides. You are the one using insults and deflections. Why don't you debate like a grown up?

Yeah.. him being innocent until proven guilty is what I wanted, but loony hypocrites such as yourself that think they know something from the #ty "facts" gleamed from the net and from the news have ruined the jury pool.
That is the kinda bull# I reject and you embrace.

He actually didn't prove his bias, it is questionable that Obama would touch this issue. It is politically motivated. There are many issues, he got on this one because everyone else was and he can't be too careful about alienating black voters. He has it pretty much in the bag, but if a bunch of people expect him to say something or he feels he needs to remind them of his background, he will do that.
It is undeniable that his decision to speak on this was a calculated move.

No.. you have presented your ideas, There is no actual evidence. Nothing that proves that Zimmerman is lying about his self defense. Eyewitnesses, police and medics corroborate it and there is no evidence to suggest otherwise.
The only thing you guys consider evidence is a funeral director, from a big city with lots of deaths, including shooting deaths, not being able to remember the hands of a kid that was quietly buried two weeks before anyone would even think to look at his hands.
Sorry there is no evidence.

Well it does because to a lot of people it is going to appear as if he chose sides. I know he didn't, but there will be people out that that see that as Obama siding, he should be trying to smooth over racial tensions. He should have talked less about trayvon and more about subsiding the tension.
Then again he is a #ty president so I wouldn't expect that.
In reality he was just exploiting the death of a kid to look good and empathetic. Votin' season is almost here.

What does the Presidents opinion have to do with the fact that Zimmerman is getting away with a crime? You can try and make this political but I won't play that game.

You can't put zimmerman on trial because you THINK he did not act in self defense.
