33. Wow

First, get your facts straight before blowing up at DU commentators.
1. Manslaughter was an option. Not only is it implied and automatic under FL law, it was in the jury instructions to consider the lesser charge.
2. Zimmerman GOT OUT OF HIS CAR and PURSUED Martin against the advice (NOT command) of the 911 operator!!!!
ask yourself why? "These fucking punks, they always get away!" He referred to Martin, even after shooting Martin and police arrived WITH NO JUSTIFICATION to support it, as the "suspect". Of what?
3. ON VIDEO, IN ZIMMERMAN'S OWN WORDS, during the walkthrough of events with police at the scene, he changed his story of events several times. He claimed that he got out of his truck because he didn't know what street he was on...REALLY??...in a gated community, with 3 streets, he had lived in for 4 years and was a former member of the "THE WATCH" in? He didn't know?Said he didn't see a house number? You mean the one just over your shoulder, in plain view, on the video you are talking on about not seeing a street address? Stated that Martin jumped "out of the bushes" to attack Zimmerman. When the point was made that there are no bushes, he changed his story again. These are facts from the trial, not opinion.
4. They drug tested Martin's body but not Zimmerman. They brought up the fact that Martin had been in fights (wow! 15 yr olds NEVER get in fights) and the fact that he had been ACCUSED of stealing though never arrested or charged.
5. What they were not allowed to mention: Zimmerman was ARRESTED for striking a POLICE OFFICER...as an adult...a drunk adult. There was a RESTRAINING ORDER against Zimmerman by his former girlfriend.
6. What part of neighborhood WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is hard to understand??

Done.
