    implying there's anything even remotely wrong or suspicious with walking and looking about while it's raining.

    Have you not walked ever in your life in the rain. You must just stare at the ground when you are not in your own residential communities I suppose.

    This is just part of the perfect storm of a real tragedy that this event seems to have been. Likely Trayvon didn't know about the recent break-ins. People were on alert. It had been 8 recently or some such number.

    LOL at him still trying to justify it.

    We can't even look around anymore while we are walking in the rain. They should put signs up in gated communities

    "Visitors entering the premise Shall stare at the ground at all times, looking around especially during rainy days are strictly prohibited"

    ...you are obviously taking that from Zimmermans friend Frank Taaffe's interviews, almost word for word, haha why not just quote it or link it? (not trying to imply anything, I don't think you have an agenda behind that but...why??)

    Sorry but you are just plain wrong; I've never seen that interview. Why don't you just stop with accusations about other posters?

    :confused: I said that it's likely you got what you said from an interview, how is that an accusation?

    Oh ok, I assumed that this was the chase, when she asked him are you following him?


    911 dispatcher: Are you following him? [2:24]

    Zimmerman: Yeah. [2:25]

    911 dispatcher:OK.We don’t need you to do that. [2:26]

    Zimmerman: OK. [2:28] (wind noises heard)

    911 dispatcher:Alright, sir, what is your name? [2:34]

    Zimmerman:George. He ran.

    Here's something I do not understand if Trayvon was on top of Zimmerman how the hell did he shoot Trayvon without getting blood on his clothes?

    Trayvon got off Zimmerman and then threw rocks at him. Zimmerman dodged the rocks and shot him, because he feared that he would die from a rock. I suppose that's what his supporters may theorize.

    Another dumb response..... If I'm going to look around....I'd rather wait until it quit raining.

    Zimmerman patroled that gated community. He someone in a situation that looked suspicious under the circumstances and reported it. There's not a damn thing wrong with that.

    The same old tired irrelevant act again...

    If you venture in to a gated community and someone asks you what you are doing there, that does not give you a license to attack them. If you don't live there and are there in the rain walking about and looking around, you will draw attention of the neighborhood watch and again that does not give you the license to attack them.

    Zimmerman had a history of being hypersensitive in calling 911. In this case he reported someone who was doing nothing wrong, and Zimmerman misjudged the person he reported.

    That doesn't make Zimmerman guilty of murder, but it does make it fairly likely that he was wrong in reporting it.

    LOL ....Look at you using a stupid analogy....

    There's nothing wrong with Zimmerman (who is part of the neighborhood watch) asking someone who does not live there where they are going. They can refuse to answer if they choose to or call the Police and say they were harrased if they felt that way.

    Looking around could have meant looking in cars or houses... who knows..

    Interesting how people won't stop talking about this even after he's charged

    What evidence do you have that he was hypersensitive? He's neighborhood watch -- the numbers will be higher than an average citizen.

    Zimmerman said that Martin appeared suspicious. You do not know that Martin was doing nothing wrong. We'd need to know more.

    You really need to learn to distinguish between your personal beliefs and biases and fact, and portray each accurately.

    His inordinately high number of 911 calls which is far more than our neighborhood watch has made.
