This is a discussion forum. People discuss things, even when all facts are not yet known. This has been going on since the dawn of message boards.

Everyone here is psychic and know what happened based on Cnn and Jesse Jackson, please your country needs you to use your powers to solve other crimes and defend our country

To paraphrase Will Smith today, what kind of a country is this when the girl who flour bombed Kim Kardashian was arrested on the spot, but the person who killed Trayvon is still free?

Its bc of emotions like this that our judicial system is innocent until proven guilty. Thanks for thinking with your emotions!

There is an appropriate level of neighborhood watch and appropriate level of knowing when to MYOB. Zimmerman never in a million years foresaw consequences to his actions. Not thinking of consequences, or not thinking that there would be any, is such inappropriate behavior in itself.

Right?

Which is it? You're guessing, or it's reality?

How in the world would you know this?

I don't know but still don't see the relevance.
Is it okay to shoot and kill a CHILD if he has gold teeth? If he is suspended from school? If he is wearing a hoodie? Or are those reasonable justifications only if the child is black?

Are those gold teeth?

There is definitely media bias

I don't see anything emotionally negative about the second picture. It looks like cellphone picture of a teenage boy. It doesn't show him snorting drugs. You really need to get a grip.

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

I'm a former public defender--The good news here--the victim's character CANNOT be introduced unless the prosecution "opens the door" and introduces it. The defendant's (Z's) character is absolutely open season in court if he tries to use self-defense, which it seems he will. The is still going to be a difficult case for the prosecution unfortunately. They have PROVE beyond a reasonable doubt that Z shot with the intent or likelihood to kill with out adequate provocation with no witnesses. It is not enough to show that certain scenarios were more "likely than not to have occurred" , as many have posited here. It is a very sad thing for the boy's family, but the case may be unprovable.
