young man who only wanted to get back home with his Skittles & tea and watch basketball,

So the author is a psychic? He knows what was in Martin’s mind that evening?

That's where I stopped too. This guy can't distinguish his fantasies from reality.

That is exactly the point: his reality IS fantasy. What a first class maroon.

Junior Samples • 12 hours ago - Word Pimp: Are you retarded? You didn't know Trayvon Martin, so why are your emotions in play? This case isn't being tried using stand your ground. Also, funny that someone following the case so closely doesn't know that there are six jurors, not twelve.

Robbins Mitchell • an hour ago − FTA...."Whether that’s true or not doesn’t matter. What matters is what the twelve jurors believe to be true."......tell me something,Pimpy Boy......what makes you think your take on this trial has any validity at all?....given the fact that you are clearly unaware that the jury is composed of SIX females....five white or Anglo...and 1 of mixed ethnicity......and not the 12 you imagine......you are what is generally referred to in the common parlance as a "clueless dork"

It wasn’t skittle and TEA, it was Arizona Watermelon drink, an element of a popular DRUG call “Purple Drank.”

They aren’t able to grasp that no one has a right to just walk up and smack anyone who seems to insult their imaginary sense of manhood.

There hadn’t been enough time to process what had happened to that young man who only wanted to get back home with his Skittles & tea and watch basketball...

Poor wittle Twayvon had more than enough time to get from the 7-11 store to the place he was staying, before Zimmerman even got involved. Why didn't he? Even after the encounter started, poor wittle Twayvon again had enough time to get to his destination. Why didn't he? Poor wittle Twayvon didn't need to be sneaking around the neighborhood looking into peoples' windows. Why did he? If poor wittle Twayvon was worried about someone following him, he could have called the cops. Why didn't he?

The answer is simple-he was a thug who was up to no good, and a fight with a white guy was exactly what he was looking for.

what you have is two asteroids that were hurling towards each other that resulted in death which could have been averted if either one had decided to pull back and let it go.
If you are 28 or so years old, and you don’t know exactly where a teenager disappeared to in the dark, what are your chances of preventing him from going to his father’s (girlfriend’s) house if that is where that teen is going? Bupkis. If you listen to the non-emergency call, you know Zimmerman was eager for the police to arrive, and not at all desirous of confronting Martin. In fact, if you believe the lovely and gracious Rachel - not that I do - Martin was at his father’s place, and went back. More of a homing torpedo than an undirected “asteroid."

And even aside from that, how precisely was Zimmerman reduced to firing his pistol (when he knew that the cops had been dispatched to his location and could arrive at any time and would certainly take him to the station and interrogate him - and keep the pistol - if he did)? Zimmerman’s account matches up with the forensic evidence, the time line, and the independent testimony of John Goode. The prosecution story, to the extent that it differs from Zimmerman’s, doesn’t match up particularly well with much of anything.

The prosecution is about to rest, and I question whether the defense will trouble to move that the case be thrown out for lack of evidence. Instead I expect the defense to run directly at Attorney Crump and his “Dee Dee” scam. Either “Dee Dee” is a composite character, or Rachel isn’t Dee Dee, or Dee Dee isn’t who Crump said she was when he used “Dee Dee” to prevent this case from being dropped for sheer lack of credible reason to disbelieve Zimmerman. Let alone any way to disprove his account “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

I can hear DeeDee or whoever he was talking to on the phone just egging him on:

“C’mon nigga, be a man. Go back and whip that crackahs ass”.

I firmly believe she egged him on to prove his manhood and enhance his street cred.

St. Skittles then did exactly that, which as we all know, turned out to be one of his less than stellar decisions.

The question we need to ask ourselves is, “Which outcome would be best for everyone?”

That's just plain scary.......I think Hitler had the same belief and unfortunately the power to act on that belief.

I wouldn't doubt that's exactly what happened, but I don't think she had to try too hard to persuade him.

Only the NSA knows for sure.

I couldn’t get past the dribble of the first paragraph.

The author apparently believes he’s entitled to his own facts.

I stopped reading at “12 jurors.”

This idiot is so uninformed about this case that he doesn’t even know there are only 6 jurors involved, and yet he feels the need to preach to us about it as if he has some superior insight.

I have one thing to say:

Dear Lord Above,

May this man meet and ‘converse’ with those who like ‘St. Trayvon’ only wanted to ‘meet and greet’ in the dark of the cold rainy night. And may he experience the same things George Zimmerman experienced on that cold rainy night in Sanford Florida.

Amen
