The only reason I’m not falling for your race baiting comment is that I expect someone who acts as if they know all the facts to at least keep current on new developments in the case.

You state many false claims that, if you were to read many of the postings on FR would show you that your wrong on many of your assumptions. Zimmerman was following Martin. He had a right to as a neighborhood watch person. When the dispatcher said to stop that it wasn’t needed Zimmerman said OK and was returning to his car. Witness accounts back him up on this.

While he was near his car Martin confronted him. Asking Zimmerman if he was following him and if Zimmerman had a problem. When Zimmerman said he had no problem Martin attacked him. Witness accounts also back this up.

In the attack Martin sat on Zimmerman and beat his head against the ground and punched Zimmerman in the face. Evidence and Witness accounts back this up.

According to Zimmerman, his shirt road up and Martin saw his gun. Martin and Zimmerman fought over who would gain possession of the gun. That is when Zimmerman shot Martin.

Evidence and witness accounts back up Zimmerman more than they do Martin. You would have to do some pretty huge contortions of facts to believe that Martin is the innocent little angel that the Sharpton camp is trying to portray him as. It appears that you are more than willing to believe Sharpton and Martins’ parents more than evidence or witness accounts.

The only unanswered questions are why have they locked down all of Martin’s school records or many of the findings on Martin done by the FL police? Why is there scrubbing of Martin’s Facebook and Twitter pages and comments?

Are you that big of an idiot to ignore all this?

You’re posting from ignorance in what you’re saying. New evidence has been leaking out day by day and it’s painting a very different picture of Martin than the one you appear to believe.

Since you obviously refuse to catch up, I suggest that you shut up since you’re fighting from a point of view that is more Sharpton than facts.

Amazing that you’ve kept your liberal leanings hidden so long on FR and not been found out.

Guess you’ve played your race card now.

Can you post any excerpts from ANY of my responses to this matter that mention race? I challenge you to do so.

It seems that this race thing is a smokescreen you are attempting to hide behind because you cannot carry on an intelligent discussion. Am I correct?

So you admit that Zimmerman decided to leave his car and follow Martin ON FOOT. That action right there makes Zimmerman the aggressor since he had NO AUTHORITY to confront anyone on foot or otherwise.No authority. Nada.

Zimmerman's job was to WATCH, not confront. And I ask you what part of WATCH don't you understand?

Even the police dispatcher agreed that Zimmerman was to WATCH and not engage. Yet he made the choice to engage. On foot.

So tell us why did he do that?

And there is the statement you could not get around and that is: Zimmerman was returning to his car. You have twisted and turned but in the end you could not escape the fact that Zimmerman got out of his car and encountered Martin ON FOOT.

And once Zimmerman did that he became the aggressor. All this other stuff you are trying to throw into the mix about "Martin confronted him" is after the fact of Zimmerman approaching Martin ON FOOT and causing further action.

Zimmerman had no reason to approach Martin ON FOOT because he had not observed any crime in progress other than seeing a person walking down the street.

Zimmerman had done his duty as Neighborhood Watch by reporting to police what he had observed. After discharging his duties Zimmerman decided to pursue the matter further and now we have this big mess.
