There was NOTHING the kid did to cause Zimmerman to "follow him" other than his color and daring to exist. What the hell was Zimmerman "chasing"?

Then Zimmerman killed an innocent kid. He was a predator. He pursued the kid. Video of Zimmerman at the police station shows no dirt on his clothes, no grass stains, no blood stains, no injuries. He's a ****ing liar, and he needs to be brought to justice.

There is no evidence that Trayvon's race had anything to do with it. Could his race have had something to do with it? It is possible but there is no evidence of it. To prove a case, you need evidence. You can't just say I have a strong feeling that he followed him because of his race. You need evidence.

I can see how you could suspect that race could have been an issue. But I have no idea how you can "conclude" that race was an issue. Let's pretend that Trayvon was Latino. Are you saying that Zimmerman would not have followed him? If that is what you are saying, what evidence do you have to support that? My guess is that Zimmerman would have followed any young man that was a stranger in the neighborhood.

On the video, I think you could clearly see that Zimmerman had a gash on the back of his head. There are several witnesses that said he had a bloody nose. Do you think all those people were lying? Zimmerman was treated for his injuries at the scene. The fact that you couldn't see blood on him in the video, after he had been cleaned up at the scene, is hardly proof that there was no altercation.

I'm not quite sure what you are saying? Are you saying that you don't think there was a physical altercation? Assuming there was a physical altercation, I don't think there is anyone who said it was a 20 minute fight. The fight probably lasted 10 seconds. I wouldn't expect someone who got punched for a few seconds to look like someone who went 10 rounds in a boxing match.
