I was pretty shocked when I (accidentally) saw a picture of the young man’s body. Even though I felt like Zimmerman had the right to defend himself all along, I was still shocked to see how big Mr. Martin was.

I realized that even though I “knew” that the media was lying about him being a child, a part of me and still started to form the mental images that the liberal media painted.

So in a way, when I see elements of the population reacting the way they are, I now think, “well, it’s no wonder they think that way. They have been conditioned by propaganda to believe that a little 14 year old child was gunned down for no reason.”

The dispatcher had no right to tell Zimmerman “you don’t need to do that”, and Zimmerman had every right to walk and drive around in his neighborhood

“What child abuse?”

The only child abusers were Trayvon’s parents. They conceived the child and then abdicated their responsibility to raise him properly.

Sabrina Fulton gave him up as a young child. As a teen the father Tracy gave him back to the mother when he (Tracy) moved out on his second wife.

Trayvon had been suspended from school for possessing drugs and burglary tools. It was his third suspension of the year. That night, instead of being at home under the supervision of a parent, he was running around the neighborhood and chatting on his cell phone. Father Tracy was out running around with his new live in squeeze (fiancé). This alleged fiancé has been noticeably absent from the trial where the negligent mother and father are shown together grieving as a “family”.

This is another case of two people conceiving a child and then abdicating the responsibility for parenting. These “parents” have spent more time in the past year trying to realize money and fame from the death of their son than they did raising him. Trayvon was killed because his parents failed in their job and didn’t have the suspended teen home that night under their supervision. That is real child abuse yet charges will never be brought.

Imagine the shock it was to him - however fleeting - to find out there WAS a limit.

Wish they would take that sign, get on a bus and head for Chicago - they need help up there saving young black children’s lives (actual children, not 6’ tall 17 year old thugs).

There will be others. The media is always looking for cases where they can blame Whitey and absolve the non-White.

Sadly that kid was probably a future inmate of Raiford prison. I’m sure his parents miss him but I wonder if it has entered their head that if they had parented him properly maybe he would still be around?

If George Zimmerman had not shot and killed little Trayvon its likely when the cops showed up 5 minutes later that Zimmerman would have been dead and Trayvon up for murder.

Yes, the media has hidden that fact. The media has hidden a number of facts.

What about the burglary tool found near the apartment Travon was casing? The father being a Crips gang member? Sabrina giving away her baby to Tracy’s girlfriend for her to raise? (did she lose custody because of a drug problem?) Tracy’s multiple girlfriends? Tracy’s many lies? 53 days truant in less than a year? the fight club? his drug dealing? his love of sucker punching in the fight club and wanting to see more blood? the stolen jewelry in his backpack with a burglary tool? the liver damage caused by drugs? purple drank? on and on

But he clearly thought he was in great danger

And, in the end, I believe this was the deciding factor. The jury asked itself if it was reasonable for George Zimmerman to believe his life was in danger? The answer was absolutely, yes.

I have been thinking about this since this trial began and the facts (not media conjecture, but facts) started coming out. Trayvon Martin was the aggressor in this case, not Zimmerman. When I think about Martin punching Zimmerman in the nose, then knocking him down on the ground and sitting on top of him; it occurred to me that Zimmerman would probably have had a hard time breathing at that point. So, you are overweight, down on the ground, someone sitting on your chest and your nose has just been broken so that you are having a hard time breathing. You are being relentlessly pummeled. What do you think? Would you believe your life was in danger? I certainly would have.

I hadn’t heard about the “burlary tool” found near the apartment.

I think Zimmerman was trying to locate him because the dispatcher asked him “What’s he doing now?” They were both thinking Martin was going to break into a house before the cops got there.

You’ll like this Jeff - it’s from the link at the bottom - enjoyed your comments...

For a sizable number of influential people, both black and white, the black community’s social problems are a cash cow. The grievance theater is their way of collecting protection money and making sure that no one pays too much attention to what’s really wrong.

The problem isn’t limited to the black community. The same phenomenon crosses over different minority communities and some white ones as well, but the race card is still the best card in the deck.

Yes, accept at that point, he was not over weight. (not that it matters, Martin was bigger and a superior athlete, stronger and younger at the time.) This notion that he was “un armed” or “armed with Skittles” is just absurd. Many people have been killed or badly injured by assailants who were technically “un armed.”

Is it too late to check Martin’s fingerprints against those found at the burglary locations? If there are any found.
