Since there is NO WAY to keep anyone from getting a weapon that wants one, and at 20 feet or less a blade can be just a deadly as a gun if someone already has intent, a free society should be armed.period.As a matter of fact, most convicts should have their right to self defense restored upon release. If they are still a danger to society, don’t release them. Only those convicted of the most violent crimes should be monitored upon release. Or maybe they should not be released.
>>I think you missed the point of the original question, which was whether anyone found the skittles and iced tea.
If they were at the site where the beating took place, then it is inconclusive. However, if, as has been stipulated elsewhere, they had been placed some distance from the place of attack, then that would certainly substantiate George’s claim that Martin had been stalking him!

Good point! But where was it stipulated? Hadn’t heard that.
I’ve asked several times if anyone has seen convenience store security footage and/or a cash register tape with the Skittles and IT transaction. Nothing yet.
I did not intend to state that it had been legally stipulated. On the forums someone stated that the skittles and iced tea were left up against a building behind some bushes; i.e., secreted. I have no idea whether this post represented the truth. I would reiterate that the location of the items being carried by Martin prior to the violence might have a strong bearing on the case.
Oh oh. If the Medical report was in the documents disclosed by the prosecution, the State may be in big trouble. It appears they violated Zimmerman’s rights by charging him even though they had the evidence corroborating Zimmerman’s justification defense. (Assuming the medical report is credible)
“They’re Skillets according to Sharpton.”
Lol! As they say, when a Democrat is right a unicorn is born!
That would be the same investigator who never asked for Zimmerman’s medical report and said this...
Gilbreath also said Zimmerman’s claim that Martin was slamming his head against the sidewalk just before he shot the teenager was “not consistent with the evidence we found.” He gave no details.
>>I would reiterate that the location of the items being carried by Martin prior to the violence might have a strong bearing on the case.<<
Good point. Presumably, we will find out sooner or later. And if he was carrying the can of iced tea, he WAS armed.
The funeral director lied...
The funeral director who oversaw slain teenager Trayvon Martin’s burial says the body bore no signs of a fight.
Richard Kurtz says there were no notable marks on Martin’s hands, face or body other than the gunshot wound that killed him. Kurtz says he expected to see some marks if Martin had been in a fight.

I want to know if he had visited the area before and if the earlier reported break-ins coincided with those visits,
It’s murder what some people can do with their fists.
Speaking for myself, I am quite pleased you are not in a position to decide if I get to have a gun.
It's worse than that. Martin could have used that gun to kill an innocent third party after killing Zimmerman. Zimmerman knew that.
Yeah, that would be good to know. I’m thinking it’s ‘stuff’ from the Miama area where he lived.
Seems to be obammy and the libs intent
I agree.. are you a crack addict, alcohol, or a bi-polar schizophrenic. Im not one to impede rights. But we should have criteria.. that’s a no brainer. A woman and 4 kids would be alive in Fl today. The response was to the point that “everyone should be armed”. That’s complete bs.
Indeed. Someone should tell racial profiling is an accusation most leveled at police, and that’s mostly BS as well.
Zimmerman is going to walk, and self-defense wins a victory.
Yes, the jewelry found on him at school was probably Miami stuff, but I still wonder if he was in Sanford when the earlier breaking and entries occurred.
I’m curious to know what familiarity he had with the area.
