If someone was tailing me at night,I would keep an eye and ear on them,and try to get somewhere I felt more secure



This, and I would most likely call 911.



Yep, no way would I attack them just because they were following me unless I already had aggressive tendencies. Heck, these days you never know who might be armed.

Because of the bullshit you always put in, like "Martin running away as fast as he could", maybe?



What difference does it make? Running as fast as he can/ running fast enough to get away from Zimmerman, what quantifiable difference is there? Why is it a big thing? Just more bullshit distractions.



It was certainly important enough for you to mention that he *wasn't* running as fast as he could, so why change the story now?

Quote

The ones where Zimmerman 'came up to Martin and threatened him'?



Nope, there were plenty more than that.



Ah, yes... I didn't *specifically* mention bill's scenario of Zimmerman walking up to Martin, grabbing him and saying "time to die"....silly me.

Quote

But that would presume you had even bothered to read the thread.



Maybe you should have done some of that reading you keep blathering on about - Zimmerman approaching Martin is present in all of bill's fantasy scenarios.

Quote

The eyewitness reports give plenty of info, too



Like what?

What, that is relevant to how the two came together?



Like Zimmerman being on the ground with Martin on top of him. 911 transcript has Zimmerman stopping the foot chase and returning to his truck to meet with the cops. So, given the evidence, just *how* did *Zimmerman* confront *Martin*?

Quote

Because he was someone he didn't recognize wandering around the neighborhood?



And therefore instantly decided that he was high on drugs, looking for a place to break into and always getting away with it. Yeah, why would Zimmerman confront or attack that guy?



How did Zimmerman magically get in front of Martin to confront him when he was returning to his truck and Martin was running the other direction? Is Zimmerman really the Flash, or the teleporting guy from Heroes?

Quote

Quote

Got a cite for this aggressive, confrontational history between Zimmerman and Martin?



Between Zimmerman and Martin? WTF you talkin' bout?



Well, Martin had *just* come to the neighborhood a couple days before the incident, supposedly. How else was he supposed to have known about all that aggression and confrontationalism of Zimmerman's in order to be afraid of him, if they hadn't met?

Quote

Quote

Oddly enough, there's no threats being yelled to Martin in the transcript.



Threats being yelled by Zimmerman while chasing him? WTF you talkin' bout?



Absent a prior meeting between Zimmerman, why would Martin be in fear of his own safety from Zimmerman?

The clear act of following someone certainly would be considered a threat. You don't wait for a stalker to attack before deciding you might be in condition yellow or red.



Yes, Yellow or Red.... but not Black. Being followed is a reason to raise your guard, escape and evade, but not to attack someone.

And, say, had already been arrested for attacking a cop?

(Hint there - the reason Zimmerman is wearing an orange suit in his pictures isn't because he likes orange.)

I guess "zero tolerance" means you have no marijuana, just an empty bag.



"an empty bag of mj" is really misleading and plays to one side only


was it a bag "with mj remnants"? or a bag that "had an odor of/evidence of" mj? then that's one thing

Else it's just an empty bag of empty



saying "empty bag of mj" just leads to ridicule and nonsense - they need to be specific

>Basically one group is just SURE that Zimmerman did it.

There's no question that he shot the kid.

The question is - is he guilty of murder or manslaughter? One group is positive he is guilty, and killed him because he hated blacks; one is positive he is a completely innocent guy who heroically defended himself against a deadly threat. The truth is almost certainly between those two extremes.



I'm jumping into this TREAD way late, and I have no idea if the topic of the "New Black Panters Party" placing a $10,000.00 bounty on a US Citizen, who has not been arrested, or currently charged with a crime has not seen a great deal of coverage in the media.
Not even the Police, FBI, Justice Department to my knowledge have even investigated this group that has placed this bounty on a private citizen. The Black Panthers say they have over 5,000 black men out actively seeking the capture of George Zimmerman so he can be brought to justice.

Is the capture of a private citizen, by a group/organization considered Kidnapping? Is placing a Bounty on a US citizen by a group calling themselves the New Black Panthers Party legal? Is the New Black Panthers Party a terrorist organization?

Eric Holder was not inclined to investigate Black Panther Voter Intimidation back in 2008, is it possible he will insert himself and investigate this bounty on a private citizen. He can always consult with the NFL on how to handle such matters.

What do you say about these two.



Blonde said she heard the crying for help stop after the gunshot. "I don't think it is self defense since if it was Zimmerman crying he would still be crying after the shot went off"

Uh, not really. After the threat was ended you more likely will not still be crying for help.

Dark haired said she saw Zimmerman AFTER it was over.

So:
1. Neither saw what happened
2. Both are making a claim based on thinking they knew who was crying for help.

Neither knew either party so they have no way of knowing who it was, they are making a guess. And when in a panic voices tend to rise.

The cops also said their stories didn't really seem authentic.

You really want to trust people who didn't see anything and are basing their entire opinion on hearing a voice in a panic and being able to place it to a person they don't know?

Yeah, this is remarkably similar to the pro-lifers that got punished from running web sites with a target list of abortion doctors. You've exceeded first amendment rights when you offer a bounty for illegal acts. The Feds should be acting to shut that down and let the situation defuse a bit.

The arrest where they subsequently dropped the charges, you mean?

Edit to add: Hint there - you might want to take another look at that Zimmerman photo (link) - while I'm sure Sanford is a pretty swanky place, I'm pretty sure that polo shirts aren't prisoner garb.

Yeah, I thought that was pathetic. I was glad that people on both sides of the issue condemned them for that.

Yep. Apparently, per people here, arrests only happen when there is enough good evidence to support the arrest.



Certainly doesn't support your premise of Zimmerman's aggression since they dropped the charges, does it?

That is good to hear. I haven't seen any coverage of either side condeming them for making such an offer.

Yes, and convictions only happen when the data still points in the direction later. Most cops tend to take the "If in doubt, ride them".

In this case, due to the nature of the case, the was a law in place to prevent the 'ride' unless the evidence was solid enough to back the assumption of guilt. In this case, there was not enough evidence to ride him.

Do you think the fact that he has been arrested three times for crimes of violence has anything to do with his propensity towards violence?

Sounds like in his previous arrests there _was_ enough.



Three arrests, no convictions? I have not seen this yet, so I ask for clarification.

No, it's very likely he was only arrested because he's Hispanic. We all know how racist Florida cops are.

Two arrests, my mistake. One for domestic violence, one for an attack on a police officer. The arrest for battery on the police officer resulted in two charges; both were dropped.

Sanford Police Chief Steps Down over Trayvon Martin Case
Friday, March 23, 2012

The growing outrage over the murder of Trayvon Martin has led Sanford Police Chief Bill Lee to temporarily step down from his position. . . .

Police originally told Martin’s parents that Zimmerman had a clean record. That information has turned out to be false. In 2005 a woman accused Zimmerman of domestic violence and had an injunction filed against him. The month prior he had been arrested for shoving a police officer at a bar near the University of Central Florida.

Another good media point. Notice how Zimmerman is show in that picture all the time, yet Martin is show in that school boy 15 yr old picture.

Even Fox did it.

Does anyone KNOW that Zimmerman has all these arrest? Bill you posted comment later.....has it come out that these were arrest photos of Zimmerman?
