    People can't be this stupid...

    The only reason this kid would have to attack Zimmerman was the fact he was STALKING him.

    You're being unreasonably dense. I'm going back to lurking. GL

    So you do admit that there is a possibility that Martin could have a possible reason for attacking Zimmerman. Following someone is not a crime. If Zimmerman was in fact being attacked (broken nose, blood, grass stain), he could have shot him out of self defense and when Martin saw he had a gun could have screamed when it was already too late.

    Just out of curiosity, what ethnic groups am I allowed to shoot for walking in my neighborhood?

    I honestly don't think Zimmerman is all there. Something wrong mentally from the way this whole thing went down, to his reaction, to even his history of being overly-paranoid and overly-zealous about the neighborhood watch.

    how can you be so adamant about his being attacked, when there is no proof of that either?

    "You are jumping to a conclusion without sufficient evidence." ...arent you doing the exact same thing?

    its a far cry from the skittles and iced tea "kid" the black leaders, media, etc are portraying (assuming these are authentic pictures).

    as a matter of fact, chase down all 6'3 black teenagers who posted a questionable picture online. Just stalk them for awhile, it's not illegal after all. If they ever react or confront you for following them, then shoot them in the face. AMERICA! YEEE HAW!

    or beat you while you're on the ground. or maybe Zimmerman should have just accepted his fate and accepted the beating he was getting from Treyvon.

    Or maybe he should have done what almost any rational, non-racist person would have done and either:

    A: Not call 911 because a random black person was walking through your neighborhood
    B: Not follow said black person, against the advice of the 911 operator
    C: Not shoot a 14 year old kid, who you stalked and confronted, and then claim self defense when you are OBVIOUSLY the aggressor

    A: Not a crime if he believed he was acting suspiciously. That is not "random".
    B: Doesn't matter. 911 operator has no legal authority or jursidiction. And like you said, it was "advice".
    C: We don't know who the agressor was. If Zimmerman was being attacked, he was not the agressor. The mere act of following someone is not an act of agression. It is not "obvious".

    So I guess you subscribe to Zimmerman's theory that any tall black person with a hoody walking in the rain must be up to no good.

    What a joke.

    I wasn't there. It was his call to determine whether or not Treyvon was acting suspicious.
