He was told by the police to STOP following Martin.

That is all you need to know.

Absolutely. He was clearly looking for trouble.

Perhaps he got hurt while tending to the crops.

Except if zimmerman was chasing him, he is the aggressor. Martin would be the one who held the right to self defense.

Here is my take on it.

Zimmerman was looking for trouble. He should have stopped following Martin when 911 told him too. If Trayvon grabbed him from behind what in the helll was Zimmerman doing out of the car? Zimmerman gets out of the car and gets his ass kicked. To the point he shot Trayvon in the process. How many of you would not be a little scared if some starnge man was following you in his car? We do have several serial killers that have preyed on young men. I think Zimmerman should be at least charged with involuntary manslaughter and let a jury of his peers decide his fate.

Now for the racism piece. Was Zimmerman racist? Maybe, maybe not. It does appear that he was doing a little profiling though. Was it racist? Maybe, maybe not. What kills me though is the fact that this is making the national news all day when there are countless of black boys killing black boys. Where is old Al Sharpton and Jessie when the black on black murders happen? Where are the marches when the murder rate in the "hood", reaches epic proportions? They are no where to be found! Black people are so quick to jump on the "rally", bandwagon when it is presumed racism. But yet they fail themselves when they don't address the root of the problem. Most of the so called celebrities that are outraged wouldn't be caught dead in the "hood" after dark.

Lets get serious, she must be black trash and this is only about profit. Your kid is killed and the first thing you do is try and trademark his name for future DVD and CD sales, get the fuck out of here. she didn't see anything wrong with him smoking dope either, maybe she is the one who gave it to him. Remember there are N*ggers, Blacks, Whites and White Trash... I would bet she falls into the first category. I do still agree that a kid was killed and regardless of his skin color, it is a shame. Why are there not any protest or press conferences being planned for the other black kids that were killed in Florida last week by other blacks?

I am sure that they can bury him for less than $10,000 and all the donations will cover that, I am sure Obama will donate to the cause, so he can use the incident for his election. As for the legal fees, what fees will they have to pay for? If they plan on filing a lawsuit, attorneys do that on a percentage. You trying to compare this to a kid with cancer is a total joke if you think they are the same. A kid with cancer can have medical bills above 1 million dollars and most insurance will not cover the cost. The family with a member battling cancer will lose almost everything they have while trying to make life easier and the patient more comfortable while battling the disease, no comparison.

Because black on black crime isn't racist. Anytime they can cry racism they do. I'm tired of it. I think most people are.

There's the latest from CNN. Looks like Zimmerman being innocent is starting to gain momentum. I wanna pose a question to the people who are attending these rallies in Iowa City, Indianapolis, Baltimore, etc...Do you really not have anything better to do with your time other than rally for a (maybe) victim thousands of miles away that, quite frankly, you don't know 100% if he was the innocent victim or instigator? People are ridiculous.

You are correct, people are getting tired of it. I can say that in the beginning I felt bad for the family and now the more this continues, I am thinking that I really don't give a shit about them and just look at it as another shooting of a young kid.

It's almost like they want so much publicity and probably money out of it. I mean if my son was shot and killed I think I wouldn't want to be plastered all over tv no matter what. How can you grieve with a tv camera up your ass all the time?

I will bet that most of them don't have jobs. The media just needs to stop broadcasting the rallys and it will stop.

Most people would react the same way as you would, but some people only see money and the publicity makes them feel important.

Maybe every parent that has lost a child should trademark their name. when all the names are trademarked, we can start using numbers to identify our kids at birth.

I wouldn't say that. Like I stated earlier he got out of the car and confronted the teen which he was told not to. He got his ass kicked and shot him. You misse the part where Trayvon's girlfriend was on the phone the whole time. It annoys me what his mom is doing as well as me being annoyed by people making Zimmerman the victim.

What's funny is how Zimmerman is much older and basically twice the kids size, yet it seems he got his ass kicked...

Or, he rolled around in the grass, etc, after shooting and killing Martin to make it look like there was a scuffle.

Which is probably why he carries a gun on a neighborhood watch.

Well they also found him with blood on face/head. Did he slam his own head against the pavement too?

I would agree that Zimmerman probably got his ass kicked but like most cowards he brought a gun.

Probably.

Not sure why you're getting so defensive about it. Never said that is what happened. I just said I wouldn't put it past him.

It's just funny to me that the dude got his ass kicked when he's twice the kids size. Seems like a certifiable pussy.

He stalks the kid, gets his ass beat, then shoots the kid and claims "self defense"
