If ONLY Saint Skittles hadn't attacked George, he would probably be alive today to tweet on his "no limit n-word" account.

Pure conjecture on the part of the police. Since when are police “jurors”.

You have that right.

If only the Neighborhood Watch leader had stayed home, and let a teenage pothead rob, vandalize, pillage and rape as he saw fit, nothing would have happened.

How dare he patrol his neighborhood and stop “Youff” from doing what “dey gotta do”.

Ultimately aren’t all crimes or accidents potentially avoidable

"Trayvon Martin’s death was ‘ultimately avoidable’"

Yes, if he only didn't try to beat Zimmerman to death.

lol

total garbage.

Punks like Trayvon attack police in uniform all the time, Zimmerman identifing himself would have changed nothing. Trayvon wanted to act like a punk, and died as one.

I know it’s a cliche, but “better tried by 12 than carried by 6.”

If only the kid was not on suspension from school....he'd be in his own neighborhood instead of daddy's girlfriend's neighborhood.

So let's get back to the school and how they handle these known criminals.

Conjecture,
Trials are supposed to be based on evidence and facts.

This police statement means absolutely nothing in terms of liability for a crime. The Stand Your Ground Law makes it so.

This kids life was on track for much criminal activity. The MSM and now LEO would rather he be alive and be there to take possibly many innocent lives in the years to come.

Trayvon was there because of a school suspension — right!?

The cops told him to stop following Traydmark so what is the evidence he continued to do so? From what I read he did stop following him and that is when Traydmark walked up to him and sucker punched him and started wailing on him.

You've got that right. The whole purpose of the article was to find Zimmerman at fault, even in light of the new medical evidence.

They could just as easily have said: The shooting could have been avoided had the governor ordered everyone to stay in their homes for the entire day. Presto...now it's the governor's fault too.

This is indeed fortunate.

Now that we know that police are omniscient and are able to divine what happened without having actually been present, we can dispense with the entire judicial system.

This will save the taxpayers gobs of money, and free up all lawyers and judges to engage in product pursuits.

I don’t think it could have been avoided unless the little black punk had of stayed at home...I would have shot him if he had me pinned on the ground bashing my head on the concrete...

“or conversely, if he had identified himself to Martin as a concerned citizen and initiated dialog”

Except, of course, he couldn’t find TM and headed back to his vehicle.

When TM approached him, according to GZ the conversation went:

TM: “Do you have a problem with me?”
GZ: “No.”
TM: “You do now (possible expletive)!” *punch*

It’s rather difficult for me to see that GZ didn’t act as he should have in that exchange. He was asked a question, answered it in a distinctly non-confrontational way, and then was feloniously assaulted.

I guess I would say that the shooting might have been avoidable if GZ were a skilled martial artist. By the way, I recommend hand to hand training to anyone, and especially if you want to carry. It sounds paradoxical, but this altercation shows the reason very clearly. In our society, we can’t just draw whenever we feel “threatened”. So, your potential assailant may be quite close before you know you need to draw. So, it’s best to have a real strategy in mind to open up some space in order to access your weapon without interference.

A quick sidekick to a kneecap works nicely, and may completely end the threat in itself. At least you can probably run away faster than your assailant can follow. ;-)

If ONLY Z had allowed the little "saint" to bash his head in and perhaps kill him, then this would all have been avoidable, dontcha know?

Haven't read this report, but I'm curious as hell as to the "date" of this so called, "conclusion."
