    Am I the only one who finds it very odd that everyone keeps dropping charges? Especially when death threats are being made?

    It was probably a Zimmerman fanboy, but Zimmerman got paranoid when he saw the thumbs-up and threatened to kill him instead of saying thanks.

    2 most likely scenarios are that either they just don't want to be a part of the media circus that would almost certainly result from another case or the situations were overblown. Maybe a mixture of the two.

    I think Zimmerman has to stay in Florida for the rest of his life because im sure wherever he goes hes a target (even though he still is). It seems like hes gonna get away with a lot of things.

    Actually that was never proven, and isn't a fact. It is story that the survivor put out and nothing more than a possibility.


    Zimmerman was found not guilty in a court of law, and that verdict is fine with me. But that doesn't mean it's a fact that Martin started a fight with him.

    Fair enough, IMO it's very likely that's how it went down, but it is a fact that he was down by his house and instead of just going inside, he left to confront Zimmerman. Had he not done that, he'd still be alive.

    ****, I don't think anybody in the middle of south america or the Philippines would notice him once bit. I'd bounce.

    1. This guy won't even cleanly assert that it was Zimmerman on the phone; how many times does he use the word "allegedly?"

    2. Profiling? So Zimmerman picked out Trayvon based on uncertain race status from among the other individuals who were aimlessly, suspiciously wandering through his neighborhood? That's profiling?

    wonder how the people feel who donated money to him in his trial for support

    can you imagine a kid walking from halftime of an all-star game would be killed over nothing... till this day i still dont know what trayvon was stalked for.

    He wasn't killed over nothing, he was killed over slamming Zimmerman's head into the sidewalk. It seems like "till this day" (sic) you still don't know much about the incident.

    What he does now doesn't change that the jury found he acted in self-defense.
