Now the witnesses are changing their stories.

Credibility: ZERO

So many things right with this post, no need explaining. It shouldn't have to be explained that the chick was nowhere near the place, but I guess that little fact eludes some people.

This info has been out there for a couple of months, it's just getting more traction now.

Here's the screen shot of his youtube account before this video was removed:


Here's the link to his Youtube account today:

Wow, really. So what's your point? That he deserved to die because he is like the average 17 year old boy?

The attitude of the victim bashers really does beg the question: Why is it so important for them to vilify the victim?

The Sanford Police are denying that George ever rode around with them.

"Zimmerman applied to the ride-along in March 2010. His application was approved by the top brass of the department, records show, even though a background check showed Zimmerman had a criminal history, though no convictions."

On his application, Zimmerman said he wanted to go on the ride-along to “solidify my interest in a career in law enforcement.”


Sure, his family background had no influence on his past charges. In a way, they probably enabled him, since he was apparently delusional in believing he had any chance of becoming a cop.

Why are so many innocent people in jail? Look no further than the many posts on cd.
Was martin a thug? he looked like one and thats why the media used pictures that are 4 years old. That said it's not a crime to look stupid.

Did zimmerman wake up that day and say gee I want to murder a black kid today? Only he knows that answer, but I doubt he did.
I think he is afraid of black males and was stupid enough to turn a mole hill into a mountain.
I have no real facts to decide guilt or innocence. From what I have read we have a case of Thug wanna be v.s hero wanna be. The perfect storm.
You're referring to a "juror" or "jurors".....not a "jurist." Here's a link to the definition of a "jurist."

jurist - definition of jurist by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.

IMO, professional jurors is a bad idea. Remember, you have a right to be tried by a "jury of your peers."

Another clueless "conclusion".....

I truly believe that Zimmerman was the agressor...He had already followed Trayvon, even after being told to stop following him by the 911 operator. He maliciously approached Trayvon, he invaded his privacy, his personal space and his right to be where he was, near his Dad's apartment. This Zimmerman guy caused the whole thing. None of this would have happened if Zimmerman hadn't done what he did. I believe Zimmerman is guilty of several things, not the least of which is shooting an unarmed teen outside his own residence.

The above would seem to suggest that Zimmerman put his hands on Martin first, and possibly even tried to restrain him.

At what point, I wonder, did it occur to him to do the responsible thing by informing the boy that he was the neighborhood watch?

Convict this man already.

If Casey Anthony wasn't convicted I don't see how Zimmerman is gonna get convicted.

You'll have public reaction to it, the media will try to stir up reactions to it, plus you'll have the civil lawsuits that will arise. And the political fallout against the prosecutors and Sanford officials. Trayvon Martin's parents will sue Zimmerman and Zimmerman will sue any persons or organizations that attacked him.
In florida, they can't sue Zimmerman when he is acquitted.

What an odd analogy.

Freudian slip?


As a female in S Florida,
If a person looking like GZ ("Shrek" as some other poster mentioned) I would not want a heavy set vigilante stalking me through the streets of my subdivision.
HOA fees are usually over 200 a month.
A qualified watchman without a criminal past should have replaced GZ.

Where in the hell do you get this crap from? The president simply made a statement as a parent that if he had a son (he has two daugters) it would look like Trayvon....Duh! Nothing more, nothing less! I swear some of you crackpots claim racebaiting but try to make something out of nothing. Btw, if Clinton had said the same thing would you still be yacking about it?
