i dont want someone like zimmerman patrolling my neighborhood. he is not a LEO. i dont want citizens overstepping their boundaries. a good neighborhood watch with neighbors watching and calling 911 on any suspicious activity will do. i do not agree with vigilantism. citizens should not feel free to take the law into their own hands. that is my opinion and i'm stickin to it.

yeah i dont mind that, and i would also like the walking patrols to have some kind of an outfit or i.d identifying themselves as neighborhood watch. otherwise look what can happen you could freak out people who think you are following them, like zimmerman freaked out trayvon. if anything zimmerman should have immediately identified himself as captain of the neighborhood watch. according to the testimonies he did not do that.

Where are people getting this from?? I thought there were multiple reports of exchanges of words and yelling back and forth before the fight happened?
What eyewitnesses that I have heard of saw Trayvon on top of Zimmerman after the fight began.

What you said could be just as offensive as anything Zimmerman said and probably more so because he is posting in regards to a direct experience and yours was just an off the top of your head opinion.
I don't believe he was being racist when he said "Every mexican he comes across pulls a knife on him" or whatever he said, I think he was speaking more in regards to some of the shadier, rough emmigrants from Mexico when he said Mexicans, nothing to do with race

Read the op, the only screaming
and yelling being done was from
zimmerman screaming for help
screaming like he was being
attacked by an animal.
then one single gun shot in self defense..
again read the op and the zimmerman files
its all here..

'Earwitnesses' heard arguing, but words do not necessarily have to be uttered before one receives a sucker punch, and are often uttered by one party or the other afterwards.
Still, no one knows for sure.... Other than George Zimmerman.

I wasn't referring to the screams for help, I meant the reports that sounded more like two adults talking outside like they were arguing.
Okay, so that's a vital piece I'm trying to figure out. Just because there's a point in the fight where Trayvon is on top doesn't mean he threw the first punch as the aggressor, let alone suckerpunched/ambushed Zimmerman. I know this is Zimmerman's story, but when the killer's version of events is the only source it can be hard to buy into. If any of the suckerpunch theorists have some resources to point me to on this, that would be greatly appreciated.

but why would zimmerman start a fight when he just called the police and knows they are on their way?
At this point, look at the injuries to both parties.
We can't be sure of Trayvon's injuries yet, but reports by the mortician were negative for injuries other than the bullet wound.
We do have pics of a bloodied Zimmerman. It is something to think about.

But I thought we dismissed the idea that the calls for help could be used as evidence 20+ pages ago given the following:

this is the first time i heard about george zimmerman chasing trayvon..
5 things we learned at george zimmermans bond hearing...
"Prosecutors say they have evidence, including eyewitness accounts, that suggest Zimmerman chased Trayvon, who at one point turned around and attacked Zimmerman in self-defense 70 yards from the back door of the house where he was staying with his dad, and where he was returning after buying a bag of Skittles and an iced tea at a convenience store."
At this point, look at the injuries to both parties.

Is that a good place to stop thinking?

I'm thinking about it.....I think an unarmed Trayvon is dead.
