    Whatever happened that day, you just killed a 17 year old kid. Forget for a moment the laws, the circumstances, the biases, the prejudices. You just killed another human being. The world is calling for your arrest, your death, your elimination. You have your defenders, but the outrage over the incident is eventually going to snowball into, righteous or not, a lynch mob that you will be lucky to survive from.

    What's going though your head? Even if you believe your life was threatened (by the presence of a teenaged black kid in your gated community) and Florida law protects you, how do you deal with the knowledge that you shot and killed someone, and the world is screaming for your head on a pike?

    the guy is a fucking moron, clearly there is absolutely nothing going through his head at any given time except for basic survival instinct.

    if i had to guess, right now its probably "cheetos are food and i want to eat them"

    What's going through my head?

    "He was attacking me and I had to defend myself."

    besides, if this goes away no one will care in 3 months. If I were him, I'd sell my story then hang out in some island in the Caribbean. He should do an exclusive interview with Radar Online, his story is probably worth 750k-1 million. no charges filed, so big fucking deal.

    It's either be a huge rush or a huge blood draining out of your **** feeling.

    Florida now has their second very high-profile murder in their state.

    Fucking Florida.

    I give no fucks what Zimmerman is feeling. He stalked and murdered a young boy for doing nothing but walking while Black. He killed a kid who was pleading, crying for help and his life.

    You don't know that.

    For all we know, Treyvon could have attacked him. He was bloody with a broken nose.

    That is a blog. This is all speculation. The fact that it is definitively referring to the killing as a "murder" shows there is already a bias.

    "scuffle" is ambiguous.

    It shows the writer of the blog has some critical thinking ability.

    Hows this? Does that sound like a grown man, or a kid?

    I don't think you know what critical thinking means.

    Your ignorance is showing. The 911 transcripts have Zimmerman flat out stating he pursued Martin. Another tape with a kid screaming for help followed by a gunshot. Don't have to be Einstein to put it together.

    You are jumping to a conclusion without sufficient evidence. Its a non-sequitur.

    1. Following Martin is not a crime. Nor is it assault, nor anything else.
    2. Martin screaming and/or begging, if it was indeed him, doesn't mean that he wasn't attacking Zimmerman. Or he wasn't the one initiating an assault.
