I quietly agree with you...but emotions aside, the clamor from the black community for Zimmerman's blood is just too great....If nothing else,..like the O.J. trial,... we need a victory symbolically......the truth of the matter is that our people WILL NOT personalize the delima......If young strong Trayvon was sitting on your chest and beating your ass to sleep, would you shoot also.......it is not a hard question.......
The TRUTH of the matter is that piece of shit MURDERED Trayvon, and his ass should be held accountable for it. There is NOTHING that justifies Zimmerman's actions when he chose to get out of his vehicle, follow, and confront that kid. Zimmerman's actions, NOT Trayvon's, are the reason that boy is dead.
Yeah but really, how strong is he? If you look at the pictures of Martin with his shirt off, or the pictures of him with no sleeves on he looks like a stiff breeze would blow him away. Maybe he's just wiry and is deceptively strong but in a lot of those pictures he looks like he'd be 90 pounds soaking wet.
Zimmerman had about sixty pounds on Treyvon not to mention he was a grown ass man up against a teenager. If he's that easily over powered I doubt he would have been so gung ho to follow "thugs" by himself at night.
LOL. I've argued with some of the biggest punks on the internet that Trayvon Martin was 5'11, 158# when Zimmerman blasted him and claimed he was 'scared for his life'. And these same punk dudes would keep telling me how a Black youth even at such a diminutive size can take down a full grown 200# man with a single punch. WTF??? I can't tell you how many times I've heard someone argue that a 158# Trayvon was fully capable of killing Zimmerman that night with his BARE HANDS. Have any of these people ever been in a fist fight?? It's rare that shit even gets that far. If Zimmerman had stood up and drawn his weapon, bet all that fighting wouldn've been DONE. Zimmerman outweighed Trayvon by approximately 30# when they fought that night, he should have taken his butt whupping like a man. THat's what you get for following people around without cause when you aren't a police officer.
Still waiting for any of the individuals here who are riding hard on the "Poor George Zimmerman Was Just Defending Himself Against That Subhuman Monster Trayvon Martin" bandwagon to finally break it down to all of us exactly what did Trayvon Martin do that was so egregious that it forced George Zimmerman to get out of his vehicle to confront him and place himself at the hands of such a dangerous individual as Martin.......
Shit. Reason enough for anyone with any common sense in their head to stay in their vehicle and let the cops handle their ass don't you think?
u'd think so... according to the net, this shit is like common knowledge that BM are so dangerous, and crazy, and this and that yet ole Zimmer's still followed him interesting to see the cards people pull out when they try to justify dumb shit
If we're so dangerous & crazy then how come we're not running shit world wide? And how is it Trayvon Martin is the one who's dead being he was so dangerous & physically powerful? SMDH.
zimmerman is begging for money http://news.yahoo.com/george-zimmerman-spent-trayvon-kickstarter-lawyers-want-pay-202554548.html Zimmerman's lawyers are pleading for more money, insisting that they've somehow burned through almost all of the more than $300,000 in online donations the public somehow have to an alleged murderer. "We've calculated that we need another $120,000 to give George the defense he deserves. At the barest minimum, we need $75,000 to give George a fighting chance," reads the message on Zimmerman's defense fund website, which also notes that there "is less than $5,000 in the trust account." Judging from the twisted history of Zimmerman supporters — and based on the curious history of defense funds, even in the pre-Kickstarter era — that kind of request actually isn't all that out of touch with reality. Don't be surprised if one of the most hated men in Florida gets his non-Kickstarter Kickstarter coffers filled right up in time to pay his lawyers by jury selection. The message appears to be from Zimmerman's legal team, which promises that lead attorney Mark O'Mara and his team "have not been paid a cent for their services," even though the note does add that "some staffers work for far less than they deserve." Still, this would mean that since January 2, Zimmerman has spent a lot on a defense that has done little more legal good than court prep work and the mounting of a public smear campaign that's not even admissible in court: According to the GZ Defense Fund site, donations totaled $314,099.07 as of January 2; according to The Orlando Sentinel, Zimmerman's backers raised another $54,000 between January 2 and March 7, after putting out a call for more money on January 30. The donations, as the website stated in a January update, went toward expenses like Zimmerman's bail bond ($95,000), living expenses ($61,747.54), and security ($56,100.00). As for his legal team, the site states that $40,647.64 went to "law firm support and infrastructure" and $35,588.07 went to "case-related expenses." Yes, George Zimmerman's case is expensive, and his supporters have footed the pricey bill. Will another $45,000 really be the difference in trial? His legal team promises the next round of funding would be spent on the lodging of experts. "In the days ahead, we need to spend thousands of dollars on transcripts of crucial depositions. We need to pay experts and provide them accommodations during the time they may be needed at trial," the site states. Zimmerman was found to have misrepresented his financial assets in court back in June, but transcripts of depositions can be costly, and we imagine Florida hotel rooms can be, too. But still, spending money at a trial is different than spending money on say, a car or a house. It's hard to quantify exactly how much better Zimmerman would do with $120,000 in his pocket as opposed to, say, $75,000 more. And you have to take into account that the people writing this, also have an incentive: they're the lawyers who say they haven't received a cent.
LOL at Zimmerman's lawyers trying to 'jack his supporters like chumps. Why doesn't his lawyer just say, I NEED to get PAID!! Send checks tomorrow.:butthead:
Obviously because of colorism. The darker your skin is, the more likely you'll face racism and prejudice. Martin's skin complexion is too dark, Zimmerman has a lighter complexion, which is why he has more defenders on his side. I only came back here because of the news of Trayvon Martin. But you'll just say that I should take my intellectual capabilities elsewhere because I know you don't like it when I talk to you.
Funny, that's EXACTLY what the 911 dispatcher told him to do. They're bleeding the trust fund, because they know once they lose the case, Zimmerman won't be able to/isn't going to pay them squat.
Actually you don't talk to me. You talk at me like I'm some out of touch idiot who knows nothing. So "yes" please do take your intellectual comments and address them to someone else. Thank You.
