[[It’s George Zimmerman’s fault that Trayvon Martin is dead. If Zimmerman had stayed home or in his vehicle, none of this would have happened.

The stupidity exhibited in this statement is enough to take one’s breath away.]]

It most absolutely is beyond stupid- astonishingly stupid infact- I guess, according to the writer, that white folks should just stay home so that nothign bad ever happens with aq black person outside the home? Brilliant!

The ONLY thing that would have resulted in Trayvon Martin being alive today was IF Trayvon simply walked on home and did NOT punch geroge zimmerman in the face, breakign his now, then slam zimmerman’s head agaisnt hte ground in attempt to murder him

Actually, if Zimmerman continued to look for Martin (there is no evidence that he returned to his truck) and confronted him showing the pistol on his belt then SYG covers Martin. He would have had every right to fight the stranger with the gun in the night.

Either one could have happened -- we don't know -- and that's the point.

"I found her comment that she was ‘seeking justice for Trayvon’ rather than seeking justice, period, interesting."

"good evening, everyone. i'm angela corey, the special prosecutor for the trayvon martin case . just moments ago we spoke on the phone with sybrina fulton and tracey martin. we told them weeks ago that we would get answers for their questions no matter where the quest led us. and it is the search for justice for trayvon that has brought us to this moment. the team here with me has worked tirelessly looking for answers in trayvon martin's death."

"When we charge a person with a crime, we are equally committed to justice on their behalf as we are on our victim's behalf. so we're here to do that on behalf of our victim, trayvon martin, and on behalf of the person responsible for his death, george zimmerman." http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2012/images/04/11/angela.corey.speech.pdf

Clearly a show for the Martins and the race baiters. I guess we'll have to wait and see why.

That person following the watchman with plans to take him down is stalking.

_______________________________

You started your post talking about the "facts" presented so far.....please tell me where the "fact" of Martin following Zimmerman with plans to take him down was presented and by whom.

I don't know if you misunderstood my post or if you agree or disagree with it Zimmerman,I suppose,could have acted unreasonably and,as a result,the kid could reasonably have feared for his safety.That is,Zimmerman may have had a "Rambo" kind of mentality which would cause a reasonable person to be fearful.Or the reverse could be true,Zimmerman acting reasonably and a punk kid acting like a punk kid.

I'm not 100% certain of who is,in *fact*,responsible but at this point my hunch is that Zimmerman was justified.

"There was never any intention of finding the cops guilty, and the left used it as a excuse for race riots.

Doing the same thing here."

IMHO, there's a distinct difference. During the R King episode there wasn't all that much of a support group for the cops. With Zimmerman/Martin there has been much more side choosing along racial lines.

"I still believe it will reduced Man 1, time served, probation"

That scenario doesn't quite square with this assessment of Florida's 10/20/Life Law. The way I'm reading it, any conviction will require 25 years at a minimum. Unless the prosecution has something good, I can't see a jury convicting him.

The PF9 pistol and it’s sounds that might be heard in background on tape of Z’s call to operator. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7R8YBayEzs

Re: the second part of her statement - does the AG consider that, once the facts are discovered Trayvon, not Zimmerman, will have been responsible for his own death?

If it is determined that Zimmerman was acting in self defense that will certainly have been the case.

Don’t get me wrong.

It’s George Zimmerman’s fault that Trayvon Martin is dead. If Zimmerman had stayed home or in his vehicle, none of this would have happened.

There is clearly reckless endangerment here, and maybe there is some species of criminally negligent homicide or maybe even a manslaughter. . . . . . .

_________________________________________________________

IT IS NOT GEORGE ZIMMERMANS FAULT that Travon Martin is dead, it is Travon Martin and his parents fault. Who lets their 17 year old child out at 1 or 2 oclock in the morning when he is suspended for having drugs? If his parents had done even the minimum in responsible child rearing Travon would be alive and well learning how to not get in trouble and how to stay off drugs.

IT IS NOT GEORGE ZIMMERMANS FAULT that Travon Martin is dead, but a lot of blame can go to the same black community that is raising Hell about his death. The black community thinks they have to be different, they glorify Hip-Hop, they glorify black on white crime, they glorify most crime if it is against whitey.

IT IS NOT GEORGE ZIMMERMANS FAULT that Travon Martin is dead, more than anybody else it is Travon Martins fault for trying to get even with a person who was watching him to see if he was up to no good. If Martin had not found Zimmermans gun and tried to take it away He would still be alive bragging about how he beat up this “old white guy”. If Zimmerman had not had his gun with him he could indeed be dead.

Charge Martin, his parents and the Black community.

Zimmermans treatment is an outrage. He was a pleasant little guy trying to keep his community safe. He was trying to protect his neighbors, he wasn't out to hurt anybody just get them caught. We need more Zimmermans, we don't need anymore Travon Martins.

One day in jail is too much. Zimmerman is locked up; the sewage that put a bounty on his head is running loose...

With R King case the news media created the impression the divide was along party lines.

Dems supporting King, repubs supporting cops because they were racist.

Thank you for posting this link. There isn't anything even inherently racist in the 911 call. To that end, it proves how imaginative NBC was in editing that call to paint Zimmerman as a racist on a mission. When all is said and done, I hope Zimmerman sues NBC, Sharpton, Jackson, the mysterious editor, the board of directors of NBC, the sponsors on the night they played the edited tape. Anyone and everyone he can go after, I hope he does. I want to see him sink the network.

It wasn’t 1 or 2 in the morning, rather a little past 7 pm.

What do you mean by “showing the pistol on his belt”?

How could possibly have an informed, unbiased opinion about this and not even know the most basic facts? Zimmerman followed martin a little after seven...not one or two in the morning.

ironman & wtc911,

Sorry, my bad. I read some one elses comments that it was 1 or 2 on the morning, maybe that is when Zimmerman was released.

All of this is driven by politics. IMO she is seeking Murder2 to placate the mob and cool down the rhetoric. This buys her time and when the issue is decided by a judge or jury, she can feign being upset with either an acquittal or manslaughter.

If she had asked for manslaughter, the race baiters and MSM would have gone batsh*t.
