Nothing wrong with a good ole fistfight it used to be the way things were settled between schoolmates after school in a field off campus.
Stop being scared of broken noses LOL I consider Zimmerman a bitch and always will regardless of the outcome.edit on 7-12-2012 by hellbjorn012 because: (no reason given)
Yep.. I go where common sense and evidence leads me. At that time I, like everyone else, only saw a tiny little 14 year old kid, and a mugshot. However.. I can admit when I am wrong (unlike.. well.. most people here) and I sniffed out the truth quick enough.
Later for now..

Read my stats..
0.86 % blacks overall commit crime of US population and 2.11 % whites overall commit crime of US population.
This is to answer back that people of color mainly blacks commit more crime than whites which is false.
Yes they show that blacks my have better odds to to turn to a life of crime and that of their demo they do have more criminals, Yet it is the whites who commit more crime overall. Whites also have a slight lead when comes to violent crimes too,
So for people to state that Zimmerman did have something to fear because stats show that black commit more crimes than any other race is a complete lie. This is just right wing and white supremacist BS.
No more from me for the night...edit on 7-12-2012 by kerazeesicko because: I CAN

I don't really want to get into this argument, but you have to consider those statistic against the percentage of that race that makes up the overall population.
Without that information your statistics are worthless.
Population of USA is Approx..311 million
240 million whites 39 million blacks
9.5 million arrests which is 2% or 3% of the population of USA.
Arrests by Race, 2011
Unable to work out exact math yet but I will
You don't have to work it out; the numbers are at the bottom of the page.
In 2011, 69.2 percent of all individuals arrested were white, 28.4 percent were black, and 2.4 percent were of other races.
same FBI page you posted
Now, you have to compare that to the demographics for the country. 2012 data shows this breakdown, and note that Hispanics are not separated out from the white category:
Ethnic groups
white 79.96%, black 12.85%, Asian 4.43%, Amerindian and Alaska native 0.97%, native Hawaiian and other Pacific islander 0.18%, two or more races 1.61% (July 2007 estimate)
note: a separate listing for Hispanic is not included because the US Census Bureau considers Hispanic to mean persons of Spanish/Hispanic/Latino origin including those of Mexican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Dominican Republic, Spanish, and Central or South American origin living in the US who may be of any race or ethnic group (white, black, Asian, etc.); about 15.1% of the total US population is Hispanic

So, you have only 12.85% of the population (approximately, because we are comparing 2011 crime data with 2012 census data) accounting for 28.4% of the arrests made. That's roughly 2 and 1/5 times what you would expect for the population numbers. That's pretty significant. That's something that needs to be addressed, and changed. Generations of children should have better odds than that, don't you think?

He played cop, he put himself in a situation were he CLAIMS he had to use his gun when it could have been avoided.
911: we dont need you to follow
Zimmerman: OK i got a gun and you never know he could attack me, i dont wanna shoot no one so ill let police take over.
(Zimmerman gets in truck and drives off) (police investigate Treyvon)
No one dies.
