they would be a child charged as an adult. Still a child though. Why won't you answer the question about 17 year old being statutory "assaulted" ( I don't wanna keep repeating the r-word)? Would you be cool with your 17 year old daughter brining home a 30 year old? Or would you say she's still a child?

A black security guard wouldn’t have been so truculent as Zimmerman was just because he has a gun. Big difference.

The white “thug” would’ve made it home to his family.

That's nothing more than a racist assumption, be better than that.

The pro Zimmerman crowd always miss the point.

"He should've ran home" for what? And why would you lead someone that is obviously following you... To your home?

"He was bashing his skull into the pavement" No... He wasn't. Zimmerman denied medical attention that same night.

Look at all the BS that Zimmerman has got himself into after the shooting. The dummy tried to sell the gun as memorabilia, signed autographs on bags of skittles, and now is trying to sue.

That says way more about him than Trayvon smoking weed and sticking a middle finger at a camera.


Bad kid or not, Trayvon was innocent that night. He wasn't casing homes.. He went out for snacks. Zimmerman started this whole thing.

He was up until he attacked a stranger and got what he deserved for his foolish mistake.

Don't get me wrong, I have much harsher words for Zimmerman, and I've said them in this thread even, but Martin wasn't innocent and what happened wasn't murder. It's just what happens sometimes when two awful people run into each other.

If either of their parents raised them better this wouldn't have been a thing, but they were both failed so one is dead and the other has destroyed his life.

I don't think it was murder either, but Zimmerman is responsible for a cool 97% of this entire ordeal. I honestly don't believe Trayvon got away then circled back.. It doesn't make sense.

It doesn't matter now.. I just wish some folks would stop trying to paint Zimmerman as some hero.. Or good guy.

Zimmie ran the whole operation for the apprehension of a suspicious person.

Racist? Nah.

I call it the way it is. We simply handle situations differently. That’s not racism. That’s the truth.

If a 200 lb black man shot a 158 lb white kid under the same circumstances we all know how things would have turned out.
