I love how the media displayed a pic of a cute little boy, and a pic of Zimmerman that was about 10 yrs old |

Shit Joe Buck took me down last summer even though I out weighed him by a significant amount. But even if on paper Zimmerman coud have kicked his ass...HE doesn't HAVE to fight knuckle to knuckle he's more than allowed to defend himself.......which he did with ONE shot. |

I hate the mainstream media with their selective editing, rushing to judgment, stoking anger for ratings, etc...They act like the judge, jury, and executioner with their coverage. What ever happened to just reporting the news ?

If you shot and killed an unarmed kid, would you be willing to scrape your head on the sidewalk or even break your own nose for an alibi? I would!

Look at the picture of Zimmerman. He is 5'9. That much is known for fact. With that in mind, does that look like a 250lb man to you? I think not. |

JC; if it were me, I'd call the cult and say "I want my dues back".

you might not hear these over the main media outlets; but they are 100% factual. I encourage you to check the validity for yourself. Trayvon has been suspended from school more than once for: *truancy *being caught with a marijuana pipe *being caught with burglary tools *and in possession of womens jewelry that didn't belong to him. Trayvon was on suspension the day he got killed. Trayvon is 6'1" tall. (some media reports show him at 6' even... all the way to 6'3") older pic that the media is sure to make certain you see: most are the two most recent pics of Trayvon - that the media (for some reason?) keeps skipping over: .

More so than the killing of Treyvon, I think the biggest outrage is the media coverage that has followed. I'd really like to see some of these big media companies slapped with some major lawsuits. |

I carry and don't show my Handle. Certain people int he community know I carry, but none ever see it and that's the way it's supposed to be. only an idiot announces he has a weapon so that his adversary has time to think about what's going on and possibly respond the same way. |

All I know is all you whiteys would be screaming bloody murder if the situation was reversed. This just shows that racism is alive and strong and two faces like those of you who believe the killing was justified are no better the the lynchmen running around back in the 50's.
This would be such a non issue if it was black killing a black or a white killing a white and if y'all think any different you're lying to yourselves. There wasn't even this much controversy in here when whatshertits got off scott free from murdering her own daughter last year. Here's the facts. Wannabe cop patrolling neighborhood Call goes into 911 Dispatcher says "back off and let the police handle it" Dead boy WTF didn't douchebag follow instructions, why was there a confrontation? All you armchair know nothing know it all's answer me those two questions I asked without getting off topic and I'll admit that I was wrong in my views on what happend. Am I pissed off, yeah, damn rights I'm pissed off and not because of the color of the two people in question but because justice in this case will never be served. |

Please, point out a single similar situation where I have "screamed bloody murder". What about the case where the white Seattle police officer shot the black homeless guy for having a pocket knife? Who did I blame? Hint: not the black guy. |

By the way, shooting someone for no reason is always wrong, unless they are a bitch and the bullet penetrates the face.
Shooting someone for attacking you when you are in fear for your life is always right. |

You also seem to miss the part where the police told Zimmerman to back of AND HE DID. BUT WAS JUMPED AT HIS TRUCK. AFTER FOLLOWING POLICE INSTRUCTION AND BACKING OFF. But that fact is convenient to leave off in order to rationalize your position on this case. You mean this reversed situation? https://www.thevettebarn.com/forums/p...d-florida.html You say Justice will never be served...but what about Justice for Zimmerman? He's been determined to be self defense once already. Oh wait you're not willing to admit this very well may have been a justifiable shooting. |
