Reprinted from the Orange realm (cause - hey - I told myself I could).
It all began a little over a year ago. George Zimmerman, a wannabe Policeman, was stalking Trayvon Martin. After Zimmerman called 911 (transcript - HERE) and was instructed [informed he didn't need to do so] to wait for the arrival of the real Police. Instead George said [of Trayvon] "he looks black" and then "a dark hoodie" and "he's got his hand in his waistband and he's a black male". When Trayvon Martin ran away from the stalking George Zimmerman, GZ told 911 "these assholes always get away". Then George Zimmerman took it upon himself to chase after Trayvon Martin.
When the "stalked" Trayvon "Stood his Ground" - George Zimmerman shot/killed Trayvon!
At the time of the homicide transpiring, thereafter the Sanford police lied to Trayvon Martin's mother and told her the killer of her son, George Zimmerman, was "squeaky clean" and it was reported that George was Captain of the Neighborhood watch;
Both of those contentions were a lie!
A non white was killed by the son of a retired justice who was lighter skinned than the deceased. Everyone there in Sanford, with the authorities, except for Trayvon Martin's mother, wanted this to be the end of the story. Then a Petition was started by Trayvon Martin's mother. [T]hen at DailyKos registered users got involved when it was only 25,000 signatures (see prior Diary - HERE). We helped get it to 2 million and the Police Chief was forced out of office and a proper investigation/ prosecution case began. But the authorities, deliberately or not; blew the case and George Zimmerman is now 'Scot Free'.
Trayvon Martin's Mother is asking that we sign her new - -
The petition is now at 288,000 signatures -
LET's help get it as high as we possibly can - Please?

A diametric result on gun violence - intolerable!
Over at the orange realm (DK) - I also added to the discussion that another Florida discharged weapon case was that of non-Caucasian Marissa Alexander get 20 years, for shooting a wall.
Granted there is much debate about the fact she went to the car to get the gun, so it is NOT a stand your ground issue. That's the point. George Zimmerman was not a stand your ground issue.
Black Marissa Alexander shot a wall and got 20 years.
Trayvon Martin, a black you was "pursued" by a non-black carrying a concealed weapon, who then killed him
and isn't going to do a day for it!

Also added a POLL (that I'm unable to afford to do here) - asking
whether or not
one believes there is racial inequality in America.
25% of the respondents said NO.....

MAKING THE CASE against George Zimmerman is really rather simple.
For reckless endangerment/ stalking - unjustifiable homicide.
[br]
- Zimmerman has been educated and trained in criminology/ Police work.
- Hence, GZ is educated in Police procedures, protocols (mitigating - instead of INSTIGATING - dynamics).
- Trayvon Martin is walking/talking on his cell phone in
- According to GZ, when Trayvon notices GZ is following him, Trayvon turns toward Zimmerman
- Zimmerman was carrying a "Concealed" Lethal (loaded) Weapon
- George called 911 and asked for the Police
- 911 did inform GZ that the {real} authorities were en route
- Zimmerman said he's looks black, he's looking at me and reaching in his waisteband
(DOES anyone of sound mind run after a person who "he believes" is carrying a weapon)? - Trayvon is fearful enough that he speeds up his pace (NOTE: GZ said running away)
- Zimmerman rushes after Trayvon and informs 911 "these f----- always get away"
- Trayvon is then impeded/confronted by Zimmerman in an ALLEY WAY
- A physical confrontation results
- Trayvon Martin is shot dead by George Zimmerman
- First person on the scene finds Trayvon Martin on the ground - with George Zimmerman on top of him
- That WITNESS is asked by George Z - NOT to call 911
- Police arrive who know GZ (and that he is the son of a retired justice) and rule it justifiable SYG homicide
- Trayvon Martin's mother is lied to and told that GZ is "squeaky clean".
- Medical Examiner testified that Trayvon had NO findings of DNA of GZ in Trayvon's nails or clothes.
- Physical expert gives sworn testimony that Zimmerman's wounds insignificant
- EMS on the scene testified that GZ had no membrane breaking inside the nose
(Though he is not an expert, he is more sophisticated than your average Neighborhood Watch Person).

Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury. The only questions germane to this case are;
- Did GZ possess a lethal weapon - Concealed - with training/ license and Criminal Law Enforcement Training.
- - Could GZ be fabricating reasons to justify his pursuit of Trayvon Martin
- After being told Police were en route - should GZ have stood down and waited for their arrival?
- Would Trayvon Martin or anyone else be justified in defending themselves from the pursuing/stalking Zimmerman?
- Is it not both lacking in common sense, any training and reckless for one to pursue a person into an Alley Way?
- Could Zimmerman be the only aggressor in this case?
- Could it be that it was Trayvon Martin who was screaming help?
- Did Zimmerman handle this entire affair all wrong
- Could GZ have waited?
- Should GZ stopped from physically/personally confronting Trayvon?
- Wouldn't it have been simple common sense for GZ to pull his gun and tell Trayvon to Freeze?
- Is it possible that GZ is lying about any of the events in this case?
- Was this affair Zimmerman's fault?
- Did George tell the police that the 1st witness found him on top of Trayvon.
- Was there testimony by the medical experts that there was NO signs of GZ's DNA on Trayvon or under Trayvon's nails?
- Could George Zimmerman have self inflicted his wounds?
- Are there more than one detail of GZ's account of what occurred; which has NO corroborative evidence?
- Would the majority of trained and untrained persons you know, have handle this whole affair differently?
- Was George Zimmerman UNjustified in his pursuit and responsible for the killing of Trayvon Martin?
Ladies and Gentlemen of the Jury, if you find yourself answering yes to all of those questions;
then you must find that YES - George Zimmerman's reckless is responsible for the killing of Trayvon Martin!
, his father is a retired justice, he tried (unsuccessfully) to become an Policemen.
