It's not the race, it's the individual, and their actions.
and Zimmerman has been arrested for violence. Let's not forget that.

Again, had GZ done this to a White child the sentiments would be quite different.
You know that's a good point.....Zimmerman KNEW that the police were on the way, so even if he felt he was getting beaten, (obviously he did not even need stitches for the scratches on his head) why did he feel that his life was in such immediate danger that he couldn't struggle and wait for the cops? The gunshot being described as being from a "moderate" range certainly raises the question of how far away was Trayvon from Zimmerman. If the gunshot wound had indicated "close range" that's what would have been reported. I'm thinking "close" would have been maybe just a few inches, 2 to 4 inches.

From what I heard on the news, there were bruises, scrapes on his head which did not require stitches, and a "likely" broken nose. What kind of doctor writes a medical report stating "likely" broken nose? My question is, did that doctor recommend that George go for x-rays on that broken nose just to ensure that there weren't more serious injuries as a result of that "likely" broken nose?

Of course they won't.

If someone truly has a "gash" on the back of their head and they are bleeding with a broken nose etc...that person is not going to just go home and get a good night's sleep. That person would go to the ER to obtain medical treatment for these "serious" injuries.

Zimmerman's team is obviously attempting to bias a potential jury pool with this suspicious "leak" of the phony medical report by this "family doctor" (and probably GZ's daddy's golfing buddy)

It is interesting that the extent of these injuries of GZ's were not as severe directly after the incident at the police station as evidenced by the police station video. No, the father and the brother manufactured a little more scrape and bruises for the "family doctor" to discover the next day.

GZ may be an idiot but his father and brother are not. They are actually quite savvy. They had a good 12-18 hours to create a few marks on GZ to be documented by the "family doctor". Again, not the ER but a "family doctor". Why was it important to go to a medical person with whom the already had a known relationship and not to the ER? This smells very fishy.

Lawyer says Zimmerman medical report leaked to boost case

Actually, some of the robberies were committed by young black men.

Recently a trial has come to an end in Canada- It was the murder trial of a young girl named Tory Staford...It was a horrific case...BUT not once was it mentioned during the proceedings that half the town including the killers and the parents were strung out on hill billy heroine.....You would assume that the judge would have brought in a few big pharma executives and questioned them..but they didn't.
So, lets make a big deal out of Z taking prescribed medication. I have been taking antidepressants for better than 15 yrs, should I be prohibited?

He was carrying legally!

Now we ALL know that just because someone can carry a gun legally, there are some of those who should not be carrying a gun in the interest of public safety.
