This is a pic they showed at the trial. I don't see baggy jeans or durags or other "black" attire. Again, GZ was told NOT to follow TM and wait for the authorities. He followed him and instigated a fight. I know damn well that if I'm being followed by some strange man at night I'm going to defend myself.
As many people have mentioned had this been the other way around that person wouldn't have gotten a media publicized hearing. GZ will get what he deserves in the end.

By the way kids lie all the time. If I told you I had a mansion would you believe me? Just because he said he had X amount of money doesn't mean he really did. You have to remember a lot of people talk hot air just to impress others ESPECIALLY on social media sites.edit on 14-7-2013 by cd5love96 because: (no reason given)
And...... this is Important..... Why?

There are pics with him holding fistfuls of money.
No one can count money from pics, but he had a gold grill, guns and apparently at some point, drugs.
So, he wasn't brokey broke.

Zimmerman knew nothing of him, or his History.

Lots of basic home truths not being taught to people anymore.
And I blame the "useless for anything academics and press" . Always trying to cover up the truth with gray area BS. Which in turn lets the parents off the hook. .
Fact.... We are animals.
Our animal instinct is to judge on looks. In an instant.
If you want to look like a gangsta. To get fake "respect" from your peers. Fine.
But be willing to take the good with the bad.Most people will just think you are a thug.
If your parents failed to tell you this. They are bad parents. Simple.
seriously? you are going to let a creepy adult man who you dont know and dont know his intentions, follow you to your house where your family is? seriously? there is a reason people are taught to drive to a police station if they are believed to be followed. too bad trayvon had no car and was on foot. think before you post bull #

No, you confront them. Ask them if there is a problem, why they are following you. Provided they haven't done anything else other than follow you. If they don't respond, or look like they are going to attack or do something else, then you can do whatever you need to do to stop them.
Simply following someone does not necessarily mean a direct threat, only a potential one.
Really? Why not just walk into your house and get others to help you figure out who is this person following you is? Zimmerman was following, Martin confronted with intent to do harm, which he did.
Lets say Martin did that and he and his mother confronted Zimmerman. When they ask Zimmerman what is he doing he might just of said neighborhood watch...end of story, everyone goes home.

Seriously? The suit against MNBC, which went back into action right after the verdict, will net him millions.

Only in America do they think it is OK to racially profile a black kid and then be allowed to kill him.
No wonder the world can't stand that country. Yeah there is no racism in America it is all in everyone's head.

I dont believe the cheering is for the fact that he killed someone. I think it is because he was proven NOT GUILTY of murder, as he was defending himself while being attacked by this teenager you speak of.

Was GZ life in direct jeopardy? Did TM have any deadly weapon on him and threatend to use it?
Since when does bashing someone's head into the concrete not put them in "direct jeopardy"?edit on 14-7-2013 by DirtyD because: (no reason given)

another lesson we should take is everyone needs to get a ccw to protect themselfs from OTHER ccw holders. I mean are you out patrolling the streets and following people with your ccw? Ya playing cop bro?
May of you keep repeating this...where Zimmerman was playing cop. Well then let me ask you, when was the last time you saw cops walking your neighborhood? I have never seen cops walk anywhere near my neighborhood, and hardly see them in a car.
If cops do not do this, but you do, how is that playing cop? Why not say...he was playing private security guard since that is about as close as we can get in comparison. The reason why we don't is because the media TM the statement "playing cop" to convict Zimmerman in the eyes of the public.
