1. ‘George Zimmerman (GZ) racially profiled Trayvon Martin (TM)’ There is no evidence of this.
2. ‘GZ disobeyed an order by the police’ * The civilian dispatcher, Sean Noffke, testified that he did not give GZ an order and, in fact, he, like his fellow dispatchers, are trained not make comments that sound like commands. * Noffke also testified under cross that, as a result of his asking GZ which way TM was going, GZ could have reasonably interpreted this as being asked to follow Martin. * It is also not a crime in Florida to disregard a comment made by a civilian dispatcher.
3. ‘GZ got out of his car’ Not a crime on public property and not negligent either.
4. ‘GZ followed TM’ Again, anyone can follow anyone on a public street unless the followee has obtained a restraining order against the follower and even there, the order only places time, place, and manner restrictions on the person enjoined.
5. ‘GZ wasn’t really injured’ * Under Florida’s self-defense laws, one doesn’t have to be injured AT ALL to use deadly force * No one is required to refrain from defending himself while another is engaged in or attempting to commit a felony.
6. ‘TM is dead through no fault of his own’ * If you believe that TM assaulted GZ, then he IS dead as a result of his own actions.
7. ‘GZ could have left’ * Under Florida law, there is not a duty to withdraw rather than use deadly force * TM was straddling GZ so how the latter was supposed to leave the scene is unanswered.
8. ‘GZ was armed and TM wasn’t’ * One’s fists can be considered weapons and can result in severe bodily harm or death. * GZ was legally carrying a weapon * There is no requirement under the law that the same weapon be used by the assailant * A homeowner can kill an intruder whether or not he has been threatened * Those that attack cannot feign surprise if they are met with superior firepower.
9. ‘Stand Your Ground!’ * SYG is NOT at issue in this trial. * The defense is a classic self-defense case.
10. ‘Black men NEVER get to use SYG!’ * Wrong http://tinyurl.com/nboht35
11. ‘GZ is a man and TM was a boy!’ * As if ‘boys’ don’t commit murder, rape, and assault everyday in this country.
She can’t spell “collectively”.
Sybrina, Your son was about to go make some purple drank (or lean). Don’t blame us for your failure.
Maybe if she were a better parent, her spawn would still be alive.
‘Nuff said there ^^^^^ - just the ghetto version of MO’s speech at Tuskegee, no real difference, IMO.
Well now,what about the Police Officers being targeted by the. Black criminals.
If. The blacks were educated and had a job, maybe thety would not be in trouble all the time.
There are none so blind as those who will not see,,,
Thanks to Brother George, collectively we have one less problem...
She’s much more involved with her son now that he’s dead. Alive, he was uncontrollable. Dead, he’s very malleable.
Nothing but lies and cognitive dissonance in that screed.
Yeah, and TM was four inches taller and almost as heavy as GZ. He was a fan of mixed martial arts and was younger and in much better shape GZ. Helpless little boy, my eye.
Great summary, thx. Snagged it. Saved it.
Where’s the barf alert?
Lady, your son was a sociopath and a thug. Deal with it.
> “It was absolutely about the color of his skin.”
So that’s why he attacked someone! Thanks for clearing that up. /s
Hey ya big dummy - it’s because he attacked someone that he got shot. Maybe you should have been a better parent.
her son wasn’t even in her custody...bet her Foundation is a money maker for her.
I feel bad for Trayvon. His parents created a dysfunctional environment which doomed him when he didn’t rise above it to better himself. Of course the parents will never admit their role in this tragedy.
Yes we do. We have 3% of the population committing 75% of all us violent crime/murders. They happen to be just like Trayvon.
> It’s been three years since Sybrina Fulton’s son was shot and killed by a vigilante neighbor in Florida.
Zimmerman should sue for libel.
I stopped reading at vigilante.
‘“Collectively, we have a problem that we need to fix. It’s time to stop pretending we don’t have an issue.’
No, YOU all have a problem and an issue. Stop letting gangs raise your kids to live like animals with no self-respect, no respect for others, no work ethic, no manners, no desire for a job, a future, a family, a life - and maybe that problem will go away. YOU all need to stop the blame game and assume responsibility for your kids.
We can’t solve that for you. No amount of free sh*t will solve that problem. You’re going to have to make an effort. I really hope you figure this out. Killing cops won’t solve the problem either!
She was already beating other family members over money from what I read in the press.
Now this BS for attention and the hope of money IMO.
