and nobody can dispute Zimmermans claim of self defense?? well maybe that is because the 2nd party in this situation is DEAD at the hands of Zimmerman. Cant really tell your side when you are buried under the earth, can you?

but no.. poor Zimmerman, has to go through all this trouble. He should have thought about that before he tried to act like a cop and follow a kid with a loaded gun.

Zimmerman is a prick. If he doesnt go to jail for even a few years, it will be a grave injustice.


It disgusts me that people stick up for Zimmerman.

I'm well aware that Zimmerman followed Martin in his car and on foot. I discussed that in several of my previous posts.

On the one hand, you could argue that Martin had the right to defend himself from some stranger who was following him. On the other hand, why didn't Martin call the police? You seem to be against vigilantiism. If you see a person following you, should you call the police or should you physically attack the person instead?

No matter what, if Zimmerman was walking back to his car and was attacked from behind, then Martin had no justification for the assault.
