    So, you're telling me that a 17 year old who was suspended from school three times, who was caught stealing, who constantly was involved in fights, who tried to purchase a firearm illegally, who bashed George Zimmerman's head into the concrete for 45 seconds, is a child?

    I'm confused as to why the kid was singled out and pursued in the first place? What right did this guy have?
    And idk, as far as what I've read, there was conflicting evidence as to who was the real aggressor in the situation. I may be wrong, but just based off what I've read.

    What right?
    There were burglaries that happened all throughout the gated community.
    On a dark and rainy night, Trayvon Martin was looking through windows of apartments.

    What right?
    George Zimmmerman started the Neighborhood Watch to protect his community.
    He called the non emergency number and reported Trayvon.
    It wasn't his fault that Trayvon decided to jump him and smash his head on the concrete over and over for 45 seconds.

    Didn't he take it upon himself to pursue him?
    The fact that he got out of his car to follow a kid he didn't know, for what, looking through a window? Already seems wrong to me.

    Are you serious?
    The community had a string of burglaries occur over a period of a few weeks.

    So, if that was you, you would take no notice of a man peering into windows?

    It is NOT illegal to follow someone.
    He even called the non-emergency number and reported it.

    I dont know enough about the case to want to be intelligently involved, all that I know is it sucks that the kid lost his life and it also sucks that large numbers of people are so emotionally involved in the case

    This case is going to be known as the OJ Simpson case of my younger generation

    where the dude was found not guilty but pretty much everyone seems to think otherwise

    I have not been following the case, nor do I care, but I do know that our community watch makes it a point to address suspicious behavior. So if someone in my community saw someone creeping in a window, they would step out of their car and ask them what was up.
    No one really knows for sure what happened there, and everyone has been arguing about it senselessly. The trial was probably a total mess between media coverage and fuzzy evidence. I feel for everyone involved.

    Are you serious?
    How could you compare OJ to this..

    All of the facts pointed that George Zimmerman acted in self defense.
    All of the forensic experts said that the evidence went along with Zimmerman's statements.

    Of course it's a shame that the child lost his life.
    It's even more of a shame that people think Trayvon hasn't received his justice yet.

    I didn't say it was illegal, I think it was inappropriate and I don't agree with it.
    He could have made the call without taking it upon himself to pursue him.
    I just think the sad thing is, troubled or not, a kid lost his life and given the conflicting evidence that was provided, there was not a clear case for self defense.

    Down boy, yes im being serious, you say facts other say other things, I said I did not know enough about the case to be super involved all that I know is there are many more people in the American community of today that say that Zimmerman was guilty, does that change the fact the he was deemed innocent no but Im comparing it to OJ because everyone thought or says he was guilty and he was found innocent, see what Im saying

    Plus the case has been a hurricane of mismatched and out of order things that point in many different direction mostly because of the media coverage
