Bless your heart! You really don't know any better. I will let you continue to be an expert on the Black community. All these Black people are calling for riots! I tell you these Black people are vicious.

White people are so much better and deal with all of their problems collectively. So does everyone else except Black people!

Why could'nt he have shot him in a non-vital area? How about if he did there would be two sides of the story instead of one

For that matter, Zimmerman might have simply used the gun to hit Martin in the head...it would have stunned him, if nothing else. Your point is well made; most people freeze when a gun is trained on them. I don't think that playing high school football prepared Martin for a life-and-death situation. Actually, most of us would be unprepared to deal with a stranger holding us at gunpoint.

So you're honestly trying to say that the members of the black community who traveled to FL to protest were acting in an orderly, calm way?

Just when you thought things couldn't get any crazier in the Trayvon Martin threads someone goes completely off the reservation with the most insane comment so far. Hit him in the head with a loaded handgun while he's on top of him beating his head against the ground? Really?

If that's what you read from my statement you have a serious problem.

I asked you a simple question, are you able to comprehend what I asked you or not?

Also, did he call the non-emergency number or 911, there is a difference. So, no, I don't agree that this speaks to aggressiveness or violent behavior...The hearsay I was referring to was the neighbors talking about his aggressive behavior, ex co-workers, etc. Unless they are called to testify under oath, I take their comments with a grain of salt...

As for the DV incident, both he and his ex were issued Permanent Injunctions against each other, the court does not hand those out just based on someone's word, it sounded like it was an immature relationship where they both crossed the line and got a little physical.

I've looked up his traffic citations, while there isn't any specific detail, both were dismissed because the officer failed to appear, one was a registration citation 320.0605, one was for unlawful speed in a business or residence district 316.189 (2)(a). I would think that if within one of those citations there was an incident of "Road Rage" the officer would have cited him for "Aggressive Driving" 316.1923 which was not listed in his record and at the very least shown up to court.



Yes, I live in Florida and yes that's what I meant, a judge put the kibosh on the drug testing, pretty much right after it was enacted...so, there hasn't been any drug testing since (approx. Oct. 2011). It really turned out to be a waste of taxpayers money because only 2% failed the test...and I agree Florida is just so very "special"...
Re: the bold-he called 12 times in the year prior to shooting Trayvon. He's only 28 years old, 10 years ago he would have been 18. He's also only lived in that complex since sometime in 2009, perhaps not much more than two years.

was that undesirable? as a neighborhood watch person, should he have avoided calling 911?
