Anyway, this subject should have its own thread.

Regarding Zimmerman, the only reason it became headline news is because he was not arrested. In this case, the man was immediately arrested. I just hope he doesn't somehow get leniency. He's a murderer. Period. As I said earlier, it's a very different case. Zimmerman was wrong and probably should be convicted on manslaughter charges, but I'm not so sure he's a cold-blooded murderer.
Zimm's got a trial date.

Time will tell.

Any man who decides to smash the face of a security guard just doing his job face into the concrete deserves to be shot. The only mistake he made is using a POS Kel-Tec and taking so long to do it.

Should have shot him dead before he got beat up so bad.

Just another case of "poor little hood"...yo mama wasn't so good about not raising a gangbanger hood.

Now you are dead...... One less thug out on the street.

I would gladly welcome an innocent man like Zimmerman into my home anyday....bless him. As for the Skittlesbandit.......um, not so much.

The pics of that severely broken nose on Zimmerman are going to be very hard for the jury to ignore. Unless they pack the jury with unfair-minded people with an agenda.

He had no right to smash the face of a "security guard" just doing his job into concrete.

I'd have shot the little him too!

I'm not so sure Zimmerman can get a fair trial with such a high profile case. If you read my more than 500 (maybe even 1,000) posts about this on the many Zimmerman threads, you know I was upset when Trayvon Martin was shot, especially when the media began attacking the victim, portraying him as a thug who was suspended from school. None of that matters. Still, I don't think George Zimmerman planned to kill him. He was very stupid and went after a young man in the dark, there was a fight, and someone died. It's a very tragic story. Zimmerman was a wannabe cop who was running around town chasing bad guys. In the case of Jordan Davis, the 17 year old who was recently shot to death, there was never a physical confrontation. I just don't see how Dunn can have a self defense case unless listening to music while Black is against the law in Florida.

In a free country he is.

Unless he's black.

If Zimmerman had done what the police told him to do and stayed in his damn house none of this would have happened. Instead, he felt he was going to be Billy Badass and go Dirty Harry on the kid and confronted him. Zimmerman was the architect of this whole thing.

I wonder how much he'll get from the local prosecutors. Not jail time, I mean in monetary damages. Probably no where near as much as he'll get from NBC from his civil lawsuit.
I agree that he could have prevented the altercation by not following. But Martin could have too by not assaulting him.
We all do stupid things and get reckless and sometimes two people neither too swift go on a collision course.
Let's actually follow Obama's lead on this and just forget about it, the shows over and theres nothing to be gained by talking about it.

lolol. How dense does someone have to be to not know the purpose behind 'neighborhood watch'?

The Zimm threads always bring out the dregs. God love 'em.
