The final chain of events may have started with Mr. Zimmerman getting out of his car, but it ended with Mr. Martin on top of him bashing the life out of him. The latter is not a consequence of the former. Mr. Zimmerman had every right to get out of his car for any reason. Mr. Zimmerman had no obligation to stay in his car and being assaulted is not a foreseeable outcome of leaving a vehicle in your own neighborhood. It may be that some other outcome would have been reached had he stayed in the car, but the outcome that was reached was entirely due to Mr. Martin's actions, as far as we know today, based on the evidence.

It proves that liberals don’t have a clue what stand your ground is all about.

They just know "it's bad" and bleat it should be repealed.

Some of the leftie media is making a big deal about witnesses “changing their stories”.

Yeah, they suddenly changed their stories AFTER the media circus Zimmerman lynching!

. . . if the case even reaches trial. . .

Oh, it will go to trial. The powers to be MUST appease the Jackson and Sharpton crowd. No matter how weak the case, it will go to trial.

That’s the first time I ever heard of that, and I would be interested in hearing/seeing some evidence to support the author’s claim. It’s certainly recorded somewhere, so it’s verifiable.

I looked up Zimmerman’s 911 history...I’m not sure about the credibility of this site as a whole, but the accumulated call history looks legitimate:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/03/22/george-zimmerman-s-history-of-911-calls-a-complete-log.html

First of all, its 46 calls since 2004...or one call every few months....and there may be some double counting - the Trayvon Martin event logged two calls, for example.

In 6 calls, he identifies blacks
In one call, he identifies a white and two hispanics...I wonder if his white half was ‘hatin’ on his hispanic half or vice versa.

I’d say this makes the author a liar.

But, it cannot be ignored that the place had alot of robberies...and Zimmerman kept seeing suspicious black youths. He’s just the messenger...its not his fault they’re getting robbed.

BTW, I’d love for some Jimmy Olsen reporter to determine St. Skittle’s whereabouts on the days Zimmerman saw suspicious black youths. Stolen jewelry doesn’t just show up in yourt backpack...you have to steal it somewhere...and where better than babby daddy’s sugar momma’s housing complex.

The left has given up on lynching Zimmerman, and has fallen back on their usual gun-control propaganda, much like a rat looking for kernels of corn in a cow turd.

Did the author ever have any training regarding logical thought? If so, he needs a refund.

So many logical points ignored.

Why didn't Trayvon Martin call 911?

The fault for the homicide here lies more fully with the NRA-backed Stand Your Ground law that will probably prevent this case from ever reaching a jury.

Why don't these kooks say, instead, that the fault lies with "Neighborhood Watch" which is the reason the local police acknowledged that Zimmerman was authorized to act when suspicious strangers entered the neighborhood?

Finally, with or without "Stand Your Ground", Zimmerman was going to shoot the person on top of him to save his own life.

I love the way these whining, lying liberal sleexebags will only publish their opinions in a lefty rag where they are far less likely to encounter someone willing to refute their “facts” (assumptions and opinions) one by one.

If that isn't a mug shot of a liberal, effete academic pansy, I'll eat my rotor beanie.

It may be that some other outcome would have been reached had he stayed in the car ...

There's a story out there today about a lady who got beaten up while sitting in her car at a Mickey D's drive-thru. The Amish thugs are willing to deliver a beat down to a cracker no matter where, even in the safety of your own car.

Even Dershowitz says that the SYG law is irrelevant to the case. This author is out of his depth.

That’s already been refuted in the news: NBC edited the 911 transcript to falsely give the impression that Zimmerman was suspicious b/c Trayvon was black. In fact, Zimmerman was answering the police question about what race the thug was:
