In reply to the discussion: Zimmerman did not outweigh Martin by 100lbs.... [View all]HiPointDem
(20,729 posts)111. you can hear zimmerman breathing hard on the tape. he's not only following the kid, he's running
after him.
if someone was following me, and i started running & they started running too, i'd pretty much think they had bad intentions. especially at dusk or later. & if i was strong enough and close enough i'd punch the fucker too.
but all you want to talk about is why martin didn't make it home when you think he should have. the asshole was following him, yes, *stalking* him, with a gun. and he killed him. and now he's hiding like the punk he is, having people lie for him.
maybe martin didn't get home on your timetable because a fucking psycho was stalking him. maybe he didn't want a fucking psycho to know where his relatives lived.
zimmerman was *stalking* him, for no reason at all except he was a fucking psycho.

No...the thing is they don't want to admit there is a race problem in America.

Zimmerman said so to the dispatcher...however Trayvon Martin's girlfriend says he WAS NOT running.

"Zimmerman's statement is an undisputed fact"... not just the OP's opinion.

Are you being paid to come here to attempt to convince us that Zimmermann is the victim?

What blows my mind is that I believe the Prosecution's report states that Zimmerman said "punks".

Not 100, bet 50+...zimmerman is a full grown man who has trained in some sort of law enforcement..

FACT: Zimmerman murdered a poor defenseless boy and deserves LWOP or execution.
