[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's amazing that conservatives are still defending this guy. I mean, really? If there were ever a false martyr, it's this guy. He's a fucking lunatic. [/quote]

Conservatives like myself (as you put it) are not defending Zimmerman as a person. The forensics are the forensics, and while Zimmerman chose to follow Martin (something I don't condone), it was Martin who jumped Zimmerman and started beating his head into a curb. At that point, Zimmerman used his weapon. That is when it became self-defense, and not murder.

Those are simply the facts of the case.

My feeling is if Zimmerman is the person 'liberals' say he is, then he will land HIMSELF back in jail. OJ certainly did.[/quote]

+1000.  The clear facts of the case do not need defending; they speak for themselves.  Legally, he was within his legal rights to defend himself from being killed.  So just let that go already.

I'm not defending Zimmeramns actions before that, or since then; the guy seems (again - it's just my impression from the distorted media) seems to be a magnet for trouble.  I also agree that he should not have followed Martin that night.  But he did, and that was not a crime.  Bad judgement perhaps, but not a crime.

However, bashing someone's head into the concrete while on top of them IS a crime - it's called attempted murder. You cannot minimize that by calling it "getting his ass kicked" as a PP put it.  If someone attempts to mirder you, it is permissible to use deadly force to defend yourself.  The facts back Zimmermans account of what happened.  Case closed on that.

Stalking is also a crime.  Zimmerman's stalker also seems to have attempted to murder Zimmerman.  He appears to be the victim of stalking here.  Why are the progressives on this board so desperate to blame the victim in this case?[/quote]
