Wait a minute, just noticed something...LOL!
How did George return to his vehicle.............................when Trayvon was shot just a little way from his door? Did they have a running fight?

Everything I have read especially his statement shows it was life or death. In Zimmerman’s statement he was being beaten on the ground and Martin saw his gun then stated you are going to die tonight and was the first person to reach for Zimmerman’s gun. In short Zimmerman got to his weapon first and Martin is dead. Justifiable homicide.
If you have a CC you realize George messed up badly. Part of the responsibility of having a CC is you CAN NOT allow someone to see your carry because they can interpret that as a threat.

You obviously know next to nothing about this case. Using a gun, fists, Knives, or any weapon no more makes you a coward than posting ignorant replies behind a keyboard.
So you have been in some fights big deal. You think people don’t die from fistfights then you haven’t been around long enough to know better. Carrying a gun for protection is smart where I live and if you had done any research on this case you would know he only bought the gun and got his concealed carry permit after his wife was attacked by a stray dog in the neighborhood which a police officer had suggested he get. So in your book real men let their wives get mauled by animals because only cowards have guns. Your post was almost too ignorant to reply to. Almost.

Everyone gets into fights .. usually noone dies unless one of the people in the fight has a gun. Shooting someone in a 1 on 1 is a cowards way out. No matter how you look at it, the shooter was a coward and so are his supporters. I have been in countless fight in school and out ... no one died because a gun wasn't present. If he can't defend himself properly without a gun, and wanted to play Kick-Ass so bad .. why didn't he learn self defense so he can stop that "Hulk" of a 17 year old. I'm all for guns ... just not shooting defenseless people.
I carry a handgun 95% of the time. I don't care if you bust out an AK-47 or lunge at me with a pocket knife. If you threaten my life, I will draw my weapon and fire. Self-preservation is not cowardice. You can CERTAINLY kill someone with little more than your fists from a 17 year old nonetheless. Link Link Link

why didnt this guy just hit the kid back and chase him off? i dont know how old the guy is but you should be able to control a 17 year old. and if was that weeak that he couldnt take down a 17 year old why didnt he pull the gun and give the kid a choice to walk away or get shot in the kneecap. he had way many more options than just to kill the kid, if this guy had just used words, the kid would still be alive. and the fact e was scared of a 17 year old is lame, sorry.

Could i be right..???
The Kid was taking a shortcut and minding his own business as far as i'm led to believe, Mr Zimmerman decided to disregard police dispatch instructions to stop following the Kid..
Zimmerman is a murderer in my opinion....Guilty!!....bailiff, take him away...
This is what a officer in Jacksonville told me happened, and remember George was holed up here awaiting turning himself in.
He attempted to play hero and got his arse beat by a kid and EVENTUALLY got to the point of fearing for his life, but moreso was embarrassed! Remains to be seen if he can get himself out of this.
So the guy in Jacksonville claims to know the neighborhood in Seminole county (yeah sure) and that’s how he says the kid is taking a shortcut. He also completely gets the facts wrong when he says Zimmerman disregarded the police which is obviously false and everything else he said is his own conjecture. Sounds like that guy doesn’t know a single fact except the guys name.

Except you completely disregarded, ignored, or just didn’t read the part where Martin had already left the area to where Zimmerman could no longer see him then doubled back to confront him. Zimmerman did not approach Martin it was the other way around. You should read actual reports including Zimmerman’s statements because yours assertions do not fall in line with any of them. Sounds like you know a small portion of the story with a large portion of conjecture from others.
I don’t care what story you believe but you at least try to learn what the stories are first.

You skip all over the fact that as a GROWN ARSE man he let a 17 year old whip him...
I'm a man with or without my gun. If I'm in a fight 1 on 1, there is no reason for me to shoot anyone, then again, I'm a real man though!

Unless police have evidence like Martin was shot while standing up rather than while he was on top of Zimmerman like his statements say which I would think blood splatter would confirm or not then if I was a jury member I would have no reason not to believe Zimmerman.
Take into account that Zimmerman’s attorney has pushed to and has released all the info to the public and hasn’t tried to suppress any evidence. That doesn’t sound like a guilty man to me.

Yeah we get it you’re a real man…..blah blah blah. More tough talk from an internet hero. We will throw you a parade one day and stamp a superman logo on your forehead so everyone will know to not mess with you.
Meanwhile the rest of us will live in the real world where fistfights do not happen every day or think they are like in the movies or fair.
You have no clue and I really mean that.
edit on 4-12-2012 by Grimpachi because: spelling
Mr. Dunn is that you? Enjoy your time in the penal system!
Back to the point...
If a fist fight is a threat to your life, unless you're old and broke down, buddy you need to hit the gym and take pride in being a man.

No, he was saying Zimmerman underestimated the kid in a fight and got whipped, so he shot him. Didn't go into all the shortcut and other stuff you're talking bout. He was one of the officers assigned to protect George while he was hiding here.

There never would have been an issue if Zimmerman didn't follow him.
This all never would have happened if the guy never followed him, and never got out of his car. What did he do to warrant being followed. Was he too black in the wrong neighborhood? Are hoodies now a crime? Maybe it was that contraband of skittles and iced tea that he was carrying?
