Trayvon Martin

The killer of a 17-year-old Florida man in February made fun of him during a recent jailhouse call. George Zimmerman, who has been released on $1 million bond, made fun of Trayvon Martin, a young man who was wearing a hoodie when he was killed on Feb. 26. “You know that when I get out of here, I’ll come out with my hoodie,” Zimmerman said in Spanish during a telephone call. The phone call was released against Zimmerman’s attorney’s wishes by the judge in the case.

Why would his phone calls be public?

It was from jail. All of his calls from jail were released.

Yeah I get that, just seems like it shouldn't. Just my opinion.

Not sure you have through that opinion through. If phone calls from prison or jail were private, then criminals could organize prison breaks, set up hits and retribution, continue with organized crime, arrange to have witnesses tampered with, etc. Of course phone calls from prison aren't private.

I think they meant public as released to the public not taped, monitored for prison use.

I agree no business releasing his phone calls for public knowledge.

And why would the parents of Trayvon's not meet with Zimmerman?
I saw this recently on the news.

For me that was puzzling to not meet him face to face and listen.

I'd have no interest in meeting the guy who shot my kid for no reason. And then made fun of him. And then went on tv and said he wouldn't have changed it. Why would they?

I would of course want to meet with my childs killer.

Probably not smart before the trial. They wouldn't get any answers anyway. He's lied and changed his story multiple times since that night.

why are you supporting this clown and defending him again?

and why would trayvon's parents sit down with a man who on live tv said he has no regreats about that night, would not change anything that he did that night, and that killing trayvon was part of god's plan??? would you as a mom want to sit there and listen to that?? and why would the parents dignify this asshole with their presence in the same room as him? that would be giving him power, and as a victim, why would they want to do that????? zimmerman is hanging himself here, and the parents should not give him any more of a platform than he already has. why would they want to LISTEN to what HE has to say??? what could he possibly say to them that is going to make things any better for them???


the saddest part of this is that he would never have been arrested had it not been for people like some of us in this thread speaking out about it, spreading the word, and getting the attention of the national media involved in this case. the sanford police were happy to sweep this under the rug, and that would have been the second tragedy in this case...

I'm ok with the prison hearing the calls, not the public.

Seriously??? :?
Listen to what? Him making excuses for what he did?! He has already said he wouldn't do anything differently. The only reason I can see why they would want to meet him is to beat him to a bloody pulp and spit on his face.

yeah i cant imagine wanting to meet the killer of my child. there is nothing he/she could have to say that id care to hear. sorry doesnt really cut it and why you killed my child is of no concern to me. fact is you killed my child so keep the fuck away from me.

yeah, as if zimmerman has not done enough already to torment these folks...

personally if i cared to hear what the murderer of my child had to say itd be only to grow the anger within me so i could dehumanise him/her enough where id be on the threshold of killing them... and whats the point of that???? itd be just one more wasted life...and the loss of my own humanity. no thank you.

Interesting article on speculation of how other countries around the world might have handled the Zimmerman case:

Looks like the USA has lax laws concerning shooting an unarmed person.

No kidding.
If this had happened anywhere in Canada, there would be no question whatsoever that he was guilty of murder (after a fair trial obviously... where he would be found guilty in about 5 minutes) ... and possibly guilty of a hate crime too.
