69. The picture of his body looked more like a SCARED CHILD.

"looked like he was trying to figure that out"???? WTF does that even mean? His FUCKING EARBUDS were right next to the poor kid's body because as his friend attested she was TALKING ON THE PHONE WITH HIM. The kid was JUMPED.

Why did I have my flashlight on or why did Zimmerman have his flashlight on? Gravitycollapse Jul 2013 #25

You do realize you can use a flashlight discretely, right? Gravitycollapse Jul 2013 #32

Clearly he was not concealing himself very well as Martin knew he was being followed. Gravitycollapse Jul 2013 #54

Undercover cops do that shit all the time. LuvNewcastle Jul 2013 #5

But he WASNT an undercover cop. n/t dorkzilla Jul 2013 #12

Maybe Trayvon thought he was. Who knows what was going through that kid's mind? LuvNewcastle Jul 2013 #45

How about Trayvon thought he was a child molester? "Stranger Danger" training kicked in. nt dorkzilla Jul 2013 #50

I think he thought that Z was a cop or maybe he thought that LuvNewcastle Jul 2013 #62

The picture of his body looked more like a SCARED CHILD. dorkzilla Jul 2013 #69

He was wondering why he was being jumped and who it was, LuvNewcastle Jul 2013 #74

So, in other words, "you don't know shit". n/t dorkzilla Jul 2013 #77

Why is that in quotes? LuvNewcastle Jul 2013 #80

You in post #70. n/t dorkzilla Jul 2013 #82

Okay, mystery explained. LuvNewcastle Jul 2013 #84

Well, maybe it's just me but he wasn't a cop, PERIOD. He's a WANNABE SERGEANT PORKCHOP. Ecumenist Jul 2013 #21

I come from a BIG cop family. I am not anti-cop, but they ALL identify themselves. dorkzilla Jul 2013 #53

Look above your post. You need a link for that? LuvNewcastle Jul 2013 #76

Do you immediately shout your name and occupation when someone comes up out of the dark? Azathoth Jul 2013 #7

When you are acting in an "official" capacity, hellz yeah. dorkzilla Jul 2013 #9

He was walking on a public sidewalk talking to a 911 dispatcher Azathoth Jul 2013 #22

Without a 'scintilla of evidence"? That's GZ's entire version of the facts. n/t dorkzilla Jul 2013 #28

Well, therein lies the problem Azathoth Jul 2013 #34

So either way, the OP is wrong. Okay, gotcha. n/t dorkzilla Jul 2013 #35

Pretty much n/t Azathoth Jul 2013 #36

So you don't think a guy like this SHOULD have identified himself? dorkzilla Jul 2013 #41

Police officers are required to identify themselves when confronting an individual. Gravitycollapse Jul 2013 #29

GZ was just taking a little stroll, right? frylock Jul 2013 #64

Assuming you intended or anticipated coming face to face with someone, yes Azathoth Jul 2013 #81

that would require me to believe GZ's preposterous story though, wouldn't it? frylock Jul 2013 #83

Indeed n/t Azathoth Jul 2013 #88

I'm not questioning her description because it doesn't line up with my imagination Azathoth Jul 2013 #78

Bullshit. Based on the EVIDENCE, not GZ's ever-changing testimony, he was STALKING TM. dorkzilla Jul 2013 #16

Doesn't matter.. Dwayne Hicks Jul 2013 #23

Zimmerman got out of his car when asked which way Martin was going. Travis_0004 Jul 2013 #65

No, it's not about the first punch. Just Saying Jul 2013 #31

If Treyvon was on top punching him, then Zimmerman could have been worried about great bodily harm. Travis_0004 Jul 2013 #37

So what Dwayne Hicks Jul 2013 #40

Maybe Zimmerman should have worried about that before he got out of the vehicle. ohheckyeah Jul 2013 #42

In your opinion. Just Saying Jul 2013 #52

That's ridiculous. Shopping for Skittles is not a felony upon Zimmerman. reusrename Jul 2013 #39

Trayvon had the right to defend HIMself too, and you don't get to shoot someone with whom RBInMaine Jul 2013 #49

They don't care about him. bravenak Jul 2013 #58

Because in his head and heart Trayvon was a "fucking punk asshole up to no good". RBInMaine Jul 2013 #59

They don't care, he didn't have to do either of those things, they feel Trayvon was NotThisTime Jul 2013 #60

They don't care. They'll still defend him. His story is worth more than Trayvon's. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jul 2013 #61
