Pursue? How do you pursue someone when you are turning around to your vehicle?
Zimmerman said originally that he followed Trayvon on foot before losing him and turning around to head back to his vehicle. But of course his story has changed since then.
Trayvon, at the time of his death, had no drugs or stolen items on him or in his system. We cannot say the same thing of Zimmerman because he refused a medical workup. Perhaps Zimmerman had ingested his medications and they caused Zimmerman to have delusions of paranoia.
Zimmerman re-enrolled at Seminole State in 2009 — still with the hopes of joining law enforcement — but was booted last week because of safety concerns for him, the Los Angeles Times said.

Down South, he had his own brushes with the law. In 2005, he was arrested for assaulting a cop and resisting arrest. He avoided conviction by entering a pretrial-diversion program.
That same year, his ex-fiancée, Veronica Zuazo, filed a restraining order against him, claiming he had been near her home “just checking up” on her. When she demanded that he leave, he allegedly grew violent, pushing her, according to the Miami Herald.

George Zimmerman has placed at least 46 calls to 911 in the last eight years. In the last year, his calls focused on blacks in his gated community.
Don't want to get dead? Don't try to beat up a guy with a gun.
The court will rule this a good shoot.
Had Zimmerman been stalking any of your White teenage sons or daughters and then murdered them; the conversation would be that he is 100% guilty, claims that GZ was an illegal immigrant and rants about policing the border talk.
Trayvon had no police record. Zimmerman does. There is no evidence, that I know of, that the police questioned Trayvon about the jewelry. None of these are "capital" offenses.
Oh, no! Edward is "different"! Edward is from Africa!
Ghana to be exact, although born and raised here. Yes we are vastly different from African Americans. We have values and a culture and children are taught to work hard and respect others.
Sadly if Trayvon was taught these lessons he would be alive today.

No need to profile whites (although I think Zimmerman probably would), whites weren't robbing his development.
Though civil rights demonstrators have argued Zimmerman should not have prejudged Martin, one black neighbor of the Zimmermans said recent history should be taken into account.
"Let's talk about the elephant in the room. I'm black, OK?" the woman said, declining to be identified because she anticipated backlash due to her race. She leaned in to look a reporter directly in the eyes. "There were black boys robbing houses in this neighborhood," she said. "That's why George was suspicious of Trayvon Martin."
So we now have as close to proof as we possibly can in a case like this that Zimmerman's story is 100% accurate. Tray didn't have a scratch on him other than his knuckles, while Zimmerman was beat to hell.
We also now know the gun was shot at "intermediate range," which in forensics means close enough to leave powder residue. So that completely supports Zimmerman.
Now, on what planet is Trayvon the innocent party here?
Guess there are conflicting "news" reports out there about the medical information.
The news report I heard said that the gun was fired from "moderate" range.....which means NOT SO CLOSE as to make contact with the victim when fired, which is what one would expect if the victim had the shooter down on the ground and was on top of him holding him down. At any rate, the medical examiner probably has numbers as to how far "moderate" is in his estimation based on his medical expertise.
Also, the medical info regarding Zimmerman was from his family doctor who saw him the day after the incident, it said there was a "likely broken nose" and black eyes and bruises and cuts BUT NONE THAT REQUIRED STITCHES. Zimmerman was not getting the "hell beat out of him" as he claimed.
As for the cut on Trayvon's hand, there was one cut on his ring finger right where a ring would end.....ONE CUT. Not multiple cuts on his hands or knuckles.
