where were all of these people coming forward and defending zimmerman at the outset? had they come forward this tidal wave of anger and frustration might have been averted.

and its funny how people are talking about the new black panther party going to do something...just something else to be scared of to make the scared white people carry MORE guns in florida...the only reason the black panthers are even making any noise right now is because the police will not act. if a cop shoots someone in the line of duty their gun is taken away and he is placed on leave and a full investigation is done and he does not get the gun back until it is determined that the shooting was justified. a neighborhood watchman shot a kid in the chest and this was not investigated fully and the shooter was not even arrested or investigated. to the police it was an open and shut case of the thug getting his just desserts.....this did not happen on zimmerman's property. he was a neighborhood watchman who carried a gun, and he acted like an officer of the law, which he was not. he followed trayvon when told not to. what other evidence do they need to arrest this man and get him off of the streets and into a holding cell where he will be safe from vigilante justice that some psycho might try to carry out???

to quote those at the rally today, "trayvon was shot in the chest, there must be an arrest"... try this in a court of law before this powder keg explodes...


also, earlier tonight there were news reports that zimmerman's blood soaked clothes that were kept as evidence that had blood splatters on them to show how the shooting occurred are now missing. lost from the police station....i smell a police cover up here...

All due respect to you, gimme, my comments here have nothing to do with race. Most of the folks on this board, I'd take a gamble the majority feel the same.

I admit I was a bit quick to come to judgment earlier and am refraining from doing so again, because I know that I/we don't know everything about this.

I think what happened was fucked up, but please do not lump all who have questions into the "scared whitey" category.

my opinion is its a good thing for zimmerman that the boy died so he couldnt give his side of the story. and why trayvon was in sanford is totally irrelevant. as for the empty bag tainted with marijuana residue.. big fuckin' deal. got nothing to do with him being dead.

what happened wasnt fucked up it was murder... manslaughter in the least. someone must be held accountable.. preferably the shooter and not the boys reputation.

if the police were doing their job you would not have any group making any kinds of threats. when the system does not work for a group of people, right or wrong, they attempt to take matters into their own hands. if they want the black panthers to chill out then the police had better do their jobs...

just look at the reaction now. look at the websites and the comments being posted in comments sections. the ones that are still allowing comments on this story, that is.....people are responding out of fear. just like zimmerman acted out of fear.

i am not condoning what the black panthers are saying. do i see their side of things and understand their frustration? absolutely. are they helping matters in this case? absolutely not. their rhetoric is going to inflame things further and then the white supremacists are going to start piping up and it is going to get very ugly from there.

it just seems all too convenient now that evidence is being lost and friends of the shooter are just now coming forward a month later...

A broken nose and the back of his skull smashed into the ground...
Seems like the dead man was rather violent no?

if that is the case then zimmerman was a pussy and could not defend himself, so he drew his gun and that was that. if you confront someone you are inviting them to fight you back...and trayvon may have given zimmerman more than he can handle in a fight...

zimmerman should have listened to the dispatcher and not followed him....

zimmerman assaulted a cop and his girlfriend on multiple occasions too... AND he murdered an unarmed kid....nope, he was not violent at all.. :roll:

If some idiot followed me and confronted me, I'd prob punch him and attack him as well. And if he shot me after that, I'd expect him to be charged with manslaughter.

what i don't understand is, if trayvon did indeed beat the shit out of zimmerman like that, then where is some proof of that other than word of mouth? surely if you just killed someone assaulting you, you would want photographs taken of every single wound that you suffered. that's what they do in domestic violence cases at least. maybe the cops have pictures of zimmerman all fucked up, but i'm not sure why they wouldn't release that to the media. if there was a picture of him all bloody and battered that might change peoples opinions of the situation. instead the only photo we've seen is his apparent mug shot or drivers license pic where zimmerman just looks like an asshole. (imo)
i still think zimmerman commited a crime, the dispatcher said don't chase he did anyways, the situation should have been done at that moment. instead of saying yeah im chasing him, he should have said, no i'm keeping a safe distance until the police get here but hurry.

um no, they said they were going to do something. no one made this up. and it isn't something being talked about to scare more white people into carrying guns...that is silly thing to say.

wasn't Zimmerman white / hispanic?

the only reason the black panthers are even making any noise right now is because the police will not act.

which is the exact thing people chastise Zimmerman for doing, including you...taking the law into their own hands.

Gimmie...come on. the black panthers are TRYING to scare people with this kind of rhetoric and thinking. So when people get scared who is at fault?
The police acted, people just didn't agree with what they did. If the person's story is believable and consistent with what they find at the seen, until more evidence comes out they will not arrest or detain a person.

Godfather.

Apparently the New (and Improved?!) Black Panthers have offered $10,000 for his "capture".

well...if the Black Panthers follow Zimmerman, and if Zimmerman fights back, he can be shot, you know because the Black Panthers were just "standing their ground"...

that's how it seems to work, right...?

For all the Trayvon supporters.....
You dont know what the hell you are talking about. ZERO.
You dont know anything regarding the true facts of this case. You are making opinions based on a Liberal filter and speclations.
All this racist bullshit thats being brought into this is fucked up. Learn about what the truth is then open your mouth. And sadly that wont come out until the trial.

Would there have been a trial at all without all the media getting involved?

the black panthers are trying to intimidate. people have a choice. they can live their life without fear or they can get scared and live in fear of the group of big bad black men...what do people do when they get scared? they arm themselves. same thing happened after obama got elected. white people got scared and bought guns and ammo at a record rate. so it is not a stupid thing to say. fear is what caused this whole situation. the coward zimmerman was scared so he acted the way he did. he confronted what he was scared of and escalated the situation..

both are at fault mike. you have a choice to be scared or not. this is just rhetoric fromm the bpp.

no, the police did not act. they showed up, asked a few questions, called the coroner and let the shooter walk. they did not even book him or do any follow up investigation until the people reacted angrily. you can detain people for probable cause. they know he killed trayvon. they need to lock him up if for nothing else than for his own protection.
