Your hero Zimmerman billh58 Jul 2013 #175

why did Zimmerman follow Trayvon in the first place JI7 Jul 2013 #2

bullshit, he didn't say 'fucking cold,' it doesn't even make sense in the context. HiPointDem Jul 2013 #4

CNN made a retraction or "correction." n/t Skip Intro Jul 2013 #10

What's no big deal? Jenoch Jul 2013 #170

Well if Zimmerman sues he can get money so the Martin family can sue him for all he has. hrmjustin Jul 2013 #41
