Can you show me any evidence that Zimmerman was " getting his face beat in"? Not sure when his mugshot was taken in your avatar but he doesn't look like he was in a fight.edit on 25-3-2012 by drock905 because: (no reason given)
That mugshot is from 2005. Just another way to show you about the media bias.
Official police reports say that Zimmerman's nose was bloodied, he had wet grass stains on his lower back, and the back of his head was bloodied. Of course, this all took place about a month ago, so no scarring remains.
Eye witness reports say that they saw Martin on top of Zimmerman.
With that said, it is easy to see why Zimmerman pulled the trigger. He was getting beat and thought his life was in danger; you can even hear Zimmerman yelling for help in some 911 audio tapes. The killing wasn't planned out etc, like the media has you to believe -- Zimmerman panicked and shot. Not the best choices, but Martin certainly wasn't an defenseless child, like the Paulbot above seems to think.

Actually he was a self appointed captain of an unregistered neighborhood watch program. He had absolutely no authority to question, harass or detain anyone.

You bigots sure love your hearsay except when it is used against you.
He chased an unarmed kid down with a gun. He is a murderer.

I really don't know why the president had to say anything about it.

Exactly; why does this president feel the need to pipe in on these issues? It does absolutely no good for him to open his yap. White folks are killed by blacks everyday; we just don't hear about it. Here's a clue for the rest of the world; every time a black person dies, it doesn't have to be about race. It's really pathetic but we actually have a race-baiter for a president. I've never seen anybody so unfit to be president. He makes Bush look like the president of the Mensa Society.
It's cool guys, trayvon probably would have ended up in jail or dead anyways.
