Based on what you know, is George Zimmerman or Trayvon Martin the better person?

50. For someone asking what we know about Trayvon Martin, you sure post about him a lot

242. Not to speak ill of the dead

But why are we to believe that Trayvon would tell the absolute truth. Because he got shot? What if he survived? What would his testimony be? Would it differ from John Good? Would it simply amount to one word against another?

Everyone is happy to Zimmerman a liar and maybe he is. I can accept that. Why can no one accept that Trayvon was a human and not an angel subject to all the shortcomings of any other human?

44. Do I really need to

List out the points of the trial. Those are the facts and the shall we say alleged facts.

Then their is the law. Why are you assuming I don't care about Trayvon. Because it feels as such. The whole pile on does. Is this a tragedy yes. Is the verdict a tragedy? I'm sorry I still believe that if you go looking for trouble, you will find. Damn, look at me now. I steel feel the way I felt and I waded into something when I should have kept my trap shut. So, I went looking for it and I found it. So did both of them. So many things could have shut this down from the point of where it began. And tragically for Trayvon, he brought fists to a gun fight. And indisputably Zimmerman would not have got out of his car without his gun. No way.

So what are we left with?

How do we react?

Who pays?

Who do we indict?

It's craziness. And the woodwork comments like "I'm so happy I'm white, but it's a damn shame life is like that and our country sucks because it pro-ports racism. But I live here so I'll try to change it. But at the end of the day I've got the advantage universally. And furthermore the other guy is blah blah blah."

I think foremost lay-expert to this verdict are African American members of law enforcement. Specifically city cops.

I'd like the crappy media to ask just one.

Can you map out the timeline of events

When was the agency hired
Script written
Location scouted
Actors casts
Police officers willing to cover up briefed
And file false reports
Fire dept And EMS, ditto
The other Samaritan that pulled over
