And Zimmerman has never said what he was doing in that short time when he observed him that was "suspicious" and "appeared to be on drugs". I hope that he is convicted on the 2nd Degree Murder charge. As a mother of 2 sons and a husband who are black, this is our worst nightmare come true. The possibility that some idiot would stalk him and hunt him down for no good reason, shoot him and then claim self defense after having initiated the chase down is UNBELIEVABLE.
Also, in their brief encounter, when Martin asked him why he was following him, Zimmerman never identified himself as the neighborhood watch captain. During the police interview with the investigator and the female police captain, she asked him point blank why he didn't just say that he was with the neighborhood watch captain. Zimmerman said that he was afraid to say that. If he is that much of a punk that he's too "afraid" to identify himself as the neighborhood watch captain, he is too much of scaredy punk to ever be a police officer.
My only consolation with an acquittal is that he and his lying wife will face charges for lying to the courts about the money raised on the internet, and that they will eventually be bankrupt by the entire process. It will hopefully make the next wannabee cop think twice before he hunts down someone's child and kills them for no good reason. He should have took his behind on to Target like he was supposed to.
Funny how Zimmerman, the liar who was enrolled in MMA classes for 18 months leading up to the shooting, would accuse Martin of using MMA tactics on him. His lawyer wants us to believe that Zimmerman was only in MMA classes to lose weight. No, the scary cat was in MMA to hopefully develop some fighting skills so he could transform himself truly into a bad ass, from the scary cat he was, but failed miserably.
