Re: Family of Florida teen killed by neighborhood watch volunteer feel 'betrayed' by

was Zimmermann following the kid?

yes he was. that makes him the aggressor.

That truly is an absurd statement.
 
Re: Family of Florida teen killed by neighborhood watch volunteer feel 'betrayed' by

Correction, you could be more ignorant and irrelevant. Maybe you should revert back to blaming Casey Anthony again.

I do blame her for Calee's death and I do blame the mob such as you as to why she got away with it.

You are wrong. So there.

I haven't heard any 911 recording that matches Zimmerman's story. If you've found it, please post it.

And somehow that makes Zimmerman innocent. That is just terrible logic. And yet, that is more logical than the rest of the garbage you have been spewing in this thread. Can you please make an actual, fact based point or please stop trolling.
 
Re: Family of Florida teen killed by neighborhood watch volunteer feel 'betrayed' by

but there is an eyewitness who says the kid assaulted that person who approached the kid, asking him what he was doing in the community
if that eyewitness account is not found to be nonfactual, then we must conclude that the kid did more than walk down the street. he assaulted someone. and that someone defended himself with lethal force
I'm not too sure where you are getting your information from. The latest details on this story, that I saw reported on CNN and Fox News last night, is that not only are their multiple witnesses to the shooting but that the shooting is captured live on Martin's cell phone. He did nothing, saw his attacker watching him, saw his attacker approaching him (all while on the phone describing what was happening to his girlfriend as it was happening) and then he was pushed down by Zimmerman and shot point blank. Martin was simply guilty of walking down the street. The audio recording of the entire incident has been released to the public and there is not one shred of evidence that Martin did anything wrong, much less to justify cold blooded murder.

Over a half million people have signed a petition to have this matter thoroughly investigated and prosecuted. I suspect that very shortly Zimmerman will be arrested and I hope they "throw the book" at him.

How does "following" someone make you an aggressor?

So the "following" him around story is bumpkis then?
 
Re: Family of Florida teen killed by neighborhood watch volunteer feel 'betrayed' by

I bet most on this thread are aosolutely furious the matter has been sent to a grand jury rather than him summarily charged.

For ALL of you saying what Zimmerman said, please post a link to his actual statement. Can you?

You follow a 17 year old kid and then shoot the kid dead in the street? You're the aggressor, or to be more precise, the murderer.

She does not know that Zimmerman shoved Martin down.

When you stalk someone, without the authority to do so, with a loaded handgun, approach and attempt to restrain them you are the aggressor.

Thanks for agreeing that following someone doesn't make you an aggressor.

I thought it happened on the grass by the sidewalk. I guess the media got that one wrong.

The guy above you just said that he walked up to him and shot him. You are saying he's stalking him, following him around. Which is it?

Most on this thread agree that details of what happened are irrelevant.

Following does not. Approaching does.

You are avoiding his point. Your trying to make some other point that is really irrelevant. Still waiting on you to provide some type of fact to support your argument rather than addressing irrlevant points made by other posters.
 
Re: Family of Florida teen killed by neighborhood watch volunteer feel 'betrayed' by

According to the reports of witnesses Zimmerman "pushed" or "shoved" Martin before he shot the innocent youth. Though the kid was "holding", has some skittles and a bottle of Iced Tea on him, dang "suspicious" behavior. Not sure which "she" you are talking about.
 
Re: Family of Florida teen killed by neighborhood watch volunteer feel 'betrayed' by

Joko or Bubba- Lets start this at the beginning.

I want you to justify a grown man following a child armed with a loaded weapon. Tell me how Martin provoked Zimmerman into doing that?

LOL. So what OTHER posters post is what is irrelevant!

If you approach someone you are an "aggressor?" There really isn't much reason to comment on that again. Zimmerman approached him? Prove it.

Listen to the 911 tapes. Zimmerman openly admits to that. Witness saw it. Martins girlfriend confirmed it. How much more proof do you need? HOw about you show something to contradict it. Or that explains why Zimmerman did anything tht he did that day beginning with following Martin with a loaded handgun.

"A child." Old enough to join the Marines. And possibly in the physical condition to do so too.

Nothing illegal about watching and following someone. Not illegal for someone with a conceal-permit to have a "loaded weapon" IF it is not a prohibited weapon.

If you approach someone and then shoot and kill them, you're not an aggressor?

Man this thread is getting heavy with stupid.
