    Wow. If this is the picture that had been released first, then many could have a different point of view. Remember the psychology lesson that I provided earlier -- sequencing matters. The mugshot of Zimmerman + the 6 year old picture of Martin is stuck in everybody's heads. A clear play on people's sympathies and biases. It doesn't change the facts of the case at all, but it does shape public opinion, and could have helped people like Spike Lee and the New Black Panthers form their decision to put Zimmerman's life in jeopardy by posting his address and putting a bounty on his head, respectively....

    Probable cause, and it's more than suspicion. (learn to spell)

    They could have taken him in for questioning without an arrest though.

    How did Zimmerman get the wound in the back of his head?

    When the horrible young man who weighed 100 pounds less than him, and was on his way home after buying candy and a tea and was talking to his girlfriend on the phone, decided sneak up on Zimmerman and wound the back of his head.

    You fail to recognize the difference in age of the victim and the offender.

    This isn't about bias, but I can't blame you for being brainwashed by Fox. I guarantee the majority of educated people aren't going to think that a middle finger from a teenager is reflective of his mindset and behavior on the day that your homie George killed him. He's a kid.

    Trayvon is flipping your pathetic mind off for all of this crap you spew out over the internet.

    You know you're wrong about this entire case, but you love trying to be "objective." Trolling at its finest.

    It's supposed to prove that Trayvon was "urban" enough to pose a threat to the straight-laced, charges dropped, police academy reject, gun-carrying, neighborhood harassment specialist.

    And to remind you that the media dominates American thought.

    It's been implied earlier in the thread, but it bears repeating:

    If an armed black man trailed a young white man who was armed only with a pack of skittles and an iced tea, started a fight with the white boy, then shot him when he started losing, bigotexxx would be first in line with a homemade noose.

    But because it was only a black that died, we need more evidence before we ruin a perfectly decent white (hispanic) man's life.

    Let me write your next reply for you, texxx. I "hurled" insults at you, ignored all the facts crucial to proving the story that you would like to emerge, and am guilty of intellectual laziness of the highest degree.

    I don't know what makes you get your jollies from pissing people off online, but I do know it's pathetic, and so are you.

    Before you start spouting your usual nonsense about insults and how their usage indicates you've lost a debate, I want to be perfectly clear:

    This is not up for debate. You are pathetic.

    that must be true because it seems to still be in your mind that Zimmerman is white.

    We had a good interchange back/forth where you asked good questions ...and I answered. Then after laying the wood, you dropped off the planet ignoring me yet again but responding to petty irrelevant things like this. Why is that texxx?

    You have yet to answer the one question.

    What is the difference of me suggesting that I will visit you at your house and utilize self defense what Zimmerman did?

    Please tell. I beg you to tell us.

    Why are you so angry? You bark at everything that moves around here. If you're going to be a grammar nazi on the internetz capitalize the first letter of your sentences brah, don't half ass the syntax.

    Why so defensive? I just asked a question. Are you upset at what the answer might be? Hell maybe Zimmerman tripped and fell and hit his head or maybe he banged his own head, I don't know. I'm just curious how he got injured on the back of his head.

    And are we just going to prosecute Zimmeran with out examining all of the facts? What if the kid attacked Zimmerman first? I'm just asking? Or is it wrong to want to get the facts and learn the truth before we hang the guy?

    Do you have a link verifying that's Trayvon? The two don't look alike at all except for the tone of their skin.

    But if you're just trying to get a point across, then that wouldn't surprise me either.

    The media is only interested in ratings. They don't care what really happened or what was the cause. Zimmerman may very well be guilty as sin, but the media just runs with whatever will get people to tune in.

    So that's all you have left now? Rather than actually holding onto your weakening position, you attack grammar.

    Nice to know where you stand.

    The death of an innocent child doesn't anger you. But a typpo is what really sets you of.

    I called him a white hispanic, which is exactly what I am.

    If I had a son, he would look like George Zimmerman.

    But he damn sure wouldn't act like him.

    Way to ignore everything else I said, though.
