Oh now Zimmerman tried to detain him? And you have the nerve to ask if I was there?
According to the person he was on the phone with, he told Zimmerman to get off. I asked becuase you are defending Zimmerman as if you were there and obviously want him to get away with it no matter what the circumstances, so please don't pretend that you're objective. An objective person says, "I don't have all the facts, we'll see what happens" and leaves it at that. I don't claim to be objective. It is just funny to me that Zimmerman supporters think they are when they really don't care what he did or about the fact that he killed someone when he didn't have to, they just want him to walk.
That's fine, we're all entitled to our opinions. I'm personally always happy to hear about someone defending themselves against an attacker and recovering from their injuries. Not only does it take an attacker off the street but it creates an example for others who feel they can prey on others for whatever reason they choose. It also causes people to be more aware of their environment when potential attackers are present. Zimmerman was well aware of his surroundings, many people aren't.
If just one attack is prevented or one person is saved because of Zimmerman's actions it was all worth it.
Yeah, Trayvon Martin obviously provoked the whole incident.
He knew if he just walked to the store and back, he could provoke an attack.
Smoking weed doesn't make you a target but climbing on top of someone, beating them and breaking their nose sure does. If you did that to someone like me you'd end up just like Trayvon, smoking weed or not.
Zim shouldn't have been there in the first place, cops on the phone told him to wait for police, how difficult is that to understand?

Yeah, Martin should have just stood there and allow the cop wanna be shoot him.

And if you followed and chased me on a dark rainy night, you wouldn't be so lucky. I'd be the one on trial.
Honestly, Zimmerman is a hoodlum. Unfortunately, there are low-life individuals who move into decent communities and harass people like the young boy Trayvon. It's a crying shame. You really don't know who is living close to you. Whether or not he's convicted, good old karma will take care of him.

An attacker off the street? All I can do is SMH at this foolishness. So we let Zimmerman off and open the door for more idiots like him to take the law into thier own ends and end up killing teenagers who were doing nothing more than walking back from a convenience store to begin with. How about preventing a murder by staying your ass in the car and allowing the police to do their jobs?
It's somewhat hard to claim self defense when you're on top of someone beating them, you have scraped up knuckles from beating that person you're on top of and the person you beat has a broken nose and multiple head lacerations but not single mark on their hands.
So if you attack me and I get the upper hand, I can no longer claim self-defense?
By this logic Zimmerman is done because he had the final upper hand.
And if you followed and chased me on a dark rainy night, you wouldn't be so lucky. I'd be the one on trial.
Just like Zimmerman didn't, I would also never chase someone on a dark rainy night so that's not even something anyone needs to worry about.
