This never would have happened if Trayvon was white. Are you really so dense as to not get that? If he was white he would have "belonged" in the neighborhood and Zimmerman would never have noticed him in the first place, much less calling 911, tailing him and gunning him down.

How does anyone know that it couldn't have happened if Trayvon Martin was not AA? The police on the scene wrote reports, had witnesses, cuffed Zimmerman, took his gun, etc. I found online mugshots and there are lots of very scary looking people of all races plus those who do not appear threatening.

And who is the white t shirt person when Zimmerman wore red and Trayvon grey? Was a third person involved?

Oh, you had to look at "online mugshots" to come to this conclusion?

Obviously we can't go back in time and do a controlled experiment with a white kid in a hoodie to see if Zimmerman would shoot him, too. But let's operate in the real world, shall we?

I would not trust any supposed witnesses coming forward or anything else that crooked P.D. puts out at this point.

No white people here have been wronged by a police officer? I'm white and I have. You people are naive.

DO you trust the girlfriend? If so, why the difference?

Because clearly the crooked P.D. botched arresting him to begin with. Not only did the P.D. instantly lose credibility, they outright P.D. failed to do their job. The town and county are going to be sued for everything. You can not "favor" a citizen. If you listen to the 911 tapes, you will find Zimmerman has zero emotion or inflection in his voice. He has mental problems.


The P.D. is in question because of their own actions. I don't know about other witnesses, but any put out by the P.D. has holes in it.

Character of the victim would shed light on how he could act as an agressor

"Could" is not relevant. Other than Zimmerman's statement, where is the evidence? Zimmerman himself said on his 911 call that Trayvon was running away. Zimmerman was in a car. Considering these two FACTS (not "coulds"), how did they end up in a physical altercation at all?

"Aggressors" don't run away.

No need to be rude. I did not just come to the conclusion that all can have scary individuals by looking at the mugshots. I am operating in the real world and it is horrible that Trayvon Martin is dead. It is horrible that George Zimmerman was roaming the neighborhood with a legal gun ...

I'm not saying this will, or should happen, but I'm a little concerned about what the reaction will be if - IF - the feds and state decide no prosecution is warranted. Again, not saying this is likely, but it is possible, and there are a LOT of very emotionally invested people all across the country.

My thoughts are:

1. I don't think the new Florida statute is relevant.
2. This is more old-fashioned self defense. So what is the law? If you chase someone down, and the chasee fights back and is beating you up, is it then self defense to use deadly force? on one hand the shooter was getting beat up and his life may have reasonably been threatened (maybe a stretch). but on the other hand the entire confrontation was started by the eventual shooter, so how is that self defense?
3. Again, I wish the kid was white so the race-baiters wouldn't be so obsessed.

2- The law does address agressors (or those who may provoke the use of force against themself)- SEE BELOW. From the testimony of the guy who gave eye witness to police, its no wonder Zimmerman is not in jail. He told the news agency that he saw Martin on top of Zimmerman and heard Zimmerman call out for help. So the only two direct witness info we know is that Zimmerman claims he was attacked as he was going back to his car, and that the eye witness saw Martin on top of Zimmerman.


776.041?Use of force by aggressor. —The justification described in the preceding sections of this chapter is not available to a person who:
(1)?Is attempting to commit, committing, or escaping after the commission of, a forcible felony; or
(2)?Initially provokes the use of force against himself or herself, unless:
(a)?Such force is so great that the person reasonably believes that he or she is in imminent danger of death or great bodily harm and that he or she has exhausted every reasonable means to escape such danger other than the use of force which is likely to cause death or great bodily harm to the assailant; or
(b)?In good faith, the person withdraws from physical contact with the assailant and indicates clearly to the assailant that he or she desires to withdraw and terminate the use of force, but the assailant continues or resumes the use of force.

Well, I hadn't heard of the witness who claims to have seem Trayvon on top of Zimmerman, but apparently that's been out there for a while. More importantly, this PP said she wouldn't trust any supposed witnesses who come forward:

I would not trust any supposed witnesses coming forward or anything else that crooked P.D. puts out at this point.

I'm trying to discover if she has a principled basis for that mistrust, or if mistrust is just code for "discount them because them don't comport with my preferred narrative."

The governor had the state attorney step down and appointed an independent state attorney. So governor felt that the SA was bias and failing to perform his duties in this case. Wow.

Wow is right... wow to where youre getting your news or how you interpret the news.

On Thursday, Seminole County State Attorney Norman R. Wolfinger recused himself from the case, sending a letter to Scott requesting that another prosecutor be assigned. “In the interest of the public safety of the citizens of Seminole County and to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest, I would respectfully request the executive assignment of another state attorney for the investigation and any prosecution arising from the circumstances surrounding the death of Trayvon B. Martin,” Wolfinger said in a statement.
