    Why wouldn't he have a right to pursue? Even the police chief said that he did have that right.

    I'm still waiting on more details of what happened between the confrontation and the shot. Why did Zimmerman have a bloody nose? Did Martin attack Zimmerman?

    It's not fully clear yet.

    We know it was Zimmerman who provoked Martin, according to the girl Martin was talking to on the phone when the confrontation happened. Who gives a **** if he punched Zimmerman in the nose, that's not good enough to shoot a kid.

    Boom.

    It's not fully clear yet to those who are looking for any reason to excuse the murder of a black man by a man using racial slurs and making racist comments.

    SMH at everybody who really believed this wasn't racially motivated from the very beginning. Post-racial America my ass.......that will never exist because of how this nation started.

    You should concentrate on the facts of the case instead of making baseless acusations of racism, then your argument would hold more weight. The facts speak for themselves, regardkess of the skin color of either the victim or the killer.

    What evidence do we have this was racially driven? How does this one single incident lead you to believe that we're not in a post racial America?

    FIYA. Racism exists in the black community too where light skinned black people look down upon darker skinned black people. I think in a lot of culture people just find reasons to hate other people. I think george zimmerman was Hispanic. I think George wanted to play cop got his ass kicked and decided to shoot the kid.

    He called the kid a f&cking c00n!! Are you serious??...You know what? I believe in freedom of speech. I'm all for equality, but people like Bigtexxx has to go...I don't want people like him on a site I love. He's a clear bigot and the fact that he continues to defend this murder is enough for me and if he's ever banned I would understand. It's 2012 man...no tolerance for bigots. How much FACTS do you need??? Now you have the tapes and a witness on the phone with the victim. He was followed, then chased, then cornered, the assaulted and regrettably murdered. If you can't admit this, then you have no place on this board or earth for that matter. What a joke

    If Zimmerman called Martin that, then it is indeed a racial slur.

    On the same level as Damion Laverne's racial slur used earlier in this thread.

    It's clear you will never admit guilt for Zimmerman....You know why? Because no one will ever know what happen between the confrontation and the shot. The only witnesses are Zimmerman and "the black" That's all you have left and you will ride that out infuriating good decent people here on this board because this is entertainment for you. You don't care if that kid was shot dead. You have the missing facts between the confrontation and the shot....Doesn't matter that all the facts that came out leading from the phone call to the confrontation pretty much damns Zimmerman and proves he racial profiled the kid...pursued the kid...tried to detain the kid when all the kid did wrong was being black with skittles and a ice tea. Here you are hanging on trying to be a bootleg defense lawyer defending the guilty and all you're really doing is disrespecting a human life that deserves more than what you're doing. That kid didn't deserve this and you're defending a murder on a message board where people that actually care. You should be ashame and pray one day you feel the pain those parents are going through. That's the only way people like you get it. You have to actually have it come back on you to get that life means more than politics and games. It's not about winning a debate or seeing how long you can defend your point. This kid lost his life.

    I've already said it's tragic that Martin died. You're letting your emotions get the best of you.

    How is that relevant?

    It's not "IF" Zimmerman called Martin a "f&cking c00n"...He actually called him that. FACT...it's on tape. The left wing media isn't brainwashing my ears...I heard it.

    And...how is that relevant again?

    Zimmerman called that kid a racial slur…tracked him down...cornered him and murdered him.

    Damion called you what you believed to be a slur and you're still here...on earth...alive and well defending a racist murder.

    Don't see how it relates to the subject...are why not talking about a white/Hispanic shooting an black kid?

    Only if he was hunting down a cracker to kill. Zimmerman got his coon though.

    You're sickening.

    My emotions are fine.....they are where they are supposed to be. I have sympathy for that kid and his love ones that were devastated by an senseless act of racism. Someone with class and dignity would do the same and not play games on a message board trying to defend points by defending a murder. It's not politics man....you're not scoring extra points. You only said it was tragic a few days ago because I had to shame you into it. You don't care about what happened to that child; all you care about is WINNING A DEBATE OF A FORUM. You are pathetic and don't have sense enough to stop and show respect for the victim. You are part of what's wrong with our country...something is fundamentally wrong with you and one day...all the nonsense you're doing is going to catch up with you. You're going to go through something tragic and you'll look back on all the **** you did and hopefully live to regret it.
