I don't think he'll survive in jail with all those other inmates with violent histories like pushing a cop's arms and dv restraining orders. His biggest mistake was not heading to Peru or somewhere else when he had the chance.

He can still hop on a dingy and head to Cuba.

I don't know if Zimmerman is guilty or innocent, but I do still believe in our courts, and as such, I will wait and watch the trial before I make my own personal judgement.
How do you know that about any of these posters, myself included?

Oh, no, no, no, no! Most of the GZ supporters, when confronted with the evidence that their guy was violating NW policies left and right, then say he wasn't acting in the capacity of NW. In actuality, they're right. IIRC, he was on his way to Target (with his gun), when he saw Trayvon. Nor was Georgie boy a homeowner; he was a renter.

Are you saying this is not a SYG case? So, in your opinion, Zimmerman does not have a right to an immunity hearing?

You are a very bad person for pointing out the obvious!
And if you keep telling the truth, we will have to let you go

Yes, but all of them are arrested and charged and not covered up by the police either.

Honestly, what difference does it make? Zimmerman had as much legal right to be walking on that path as Martin did. Martin had no right to assault Zimmerman. Once he attacked and potentially tried to kill Z, George had every right to try to defend himself, NW or not. Had Martin simply walked into his house and closed the door, instead of attacking someone, punching him in the face and pounding his head into the ground/concrete, he would still be alive. Bad decisions sometimes have unfortunate consequences.

Hopefully this will make neighborhood watches wake up to the danger they are putting their volunteers in by dictating that they are defenseless while "on duty".

I agree that Zimmerman had the right to be where he was. But a lot of people on this forum want to hype his status, and say that he was the NW "Captain" (which was self-appointed), and that he was "on duty" or "on patrol" as the NW person, which he was not. He had no more right to detain or question Trayvon than you or I would.

There is no evidence that Martin threw the first punch, or banged GZ's head into the concrete.

Why are you assuming that Trayvon attacked him? Is it because zimmerman got his butt kicked? Or perhaps because he had superfical wounds that really could have been made to appear worst AFTER he got home? But mainly it is because zimmerman is alive to tell you what he SAYS happened and not Trayvon

Hopefully this will make neighborhood watches wake up to the danger they are putting their volunteers in by dictating that they are defenseless while "on duty".
You missed the point, zimmerman was not acting in the manner of a NHW person, what he did was against all of their policies for that position
