After November a DOJ investigation should be started against NBC. They should be held accountable for their comments and severely punished.

I think Zimmerman was pacing (assuming it’s true) because he didn’t intend to shoot anyone. Martin grabbed for Zimmerman’s gun (probably by the trigger) and Zimmerman tried to keep it from him.

Zimmerman stated that they were struggling over the gun and ... boom... Martin keeled over.

He likely thinks he pulled the trigger, and it is just as likely that in the struggle, the trigger was pulled inadvertantly.

I am so tired of all this “I am Trayvon” crap, I swear I’m going to start making t-shirts and hoodies that say “I am George Zimmerman”!

If George Zimmerman is a decent human being--the one possibility the media has ruled out of consideration from the start--of course he might be upset or confused in that situation. Here he was just trying to guard his neighborhood against burglaries, and all of a sudden he's got someone beating him up and threatening to kill him, and then there is a dead person there in front of him. He nearly got killed, but instead he is involved in the death of another person.

A Bill Clinton (Waco) or an Al Sharpton (Freddie's Fashion Mart) might be indifferent to the loss of life, but most decent people would be appalled to be part of it, even if they had done nothing wrong.

There are witnesses coming out of the wood work. Unless the police finished that investigation in record time how on earth could Tracy Martin and his fiancee not have heard about the shooting? It was on the same side of the complex as her condo. Down the sidewalk. Seriously, he didn’t call anyone to find his missing son until the morning? And Trayvon was “on the right track” according to his parents. In Sanford because he was suspended yet again. On the right track to what, prison?

If this was a David Zucker film, there would be hundreds of people stepping forward. A boy scout troop: “Yes, he shot Martin in cold blood!” A gaggle of nuns: “Yes, the 100% white guy did it!” Helen Keller: “I saw Zimmerman shoot him and I heard Martin calling for help!”
