    WTF are you talking about? What ulterior motives? All we've been saying is that he was overzealous and overstepped his bounds, you're making it sound like we thought he just went cruising looking for somebody to kill.

    And no, that's not what "watch captains" do. They don't chase after suspects. They "watch" and "report." Neighborhood Watch, not Neighborhood Chase.

    rocketsjudoka -- you have to understand that Zimmerman had a right to deliberately follow Martin. That doesn't mean he was looking for trouble. You keep harping on this point, but it means nothing.

    Don't see a cut in the back of his head. No bandages or anything.

    Everybody has a legal right to go out looking for trouble. Nobody has a legal right, having sought, found and/or made trouble, to kill somebody because he was getting his ass kicked as a result.

    Exactly. No dirt on his shirt, no cuts, bandages, blood spatters, or anything of the sort. It looks a like the reports we've heard about the injuries of Zimmerman, and Martin sucker punching him to the ground then bashing his head into the cement and all that aren't supported by physical evidence.

    you've made a logic leap here. You don't know Zimmerman was looking for trouble, nor do you know if Martin was. Martin has a history of violence, remember...

    Martin has no history of violence. You are incorrect.

    lol you're clearly on a mission to convey anything you see into your already formed opinion

    Zimmerman still could have been sucker punched and had his head bashed in and not visibly show this later.

    next.

    Sweet Jesus, the man had no blood on him even. You have got to be kidding me.

    Slammed his head on the concrete my ass.

    Has the "hitting the bus driver" been disproven? Please provide a link to that. Thank you.

    haha, I trolled the troll and he fell for it.

    You jumped conclusions without actual facts. It hasn't been verified at all.

    As I said, nobody uses the name of their little brother as their tweet handle rather than anything to do with their own identity.

    There hasn't been any confirmation of it at all. The families statements say he was suspended but never for anything violent or violence related.

    Statements and common sense point to it being a fake. But even it isn't, even responsible media has events confirmed by two reliable sources. That twitter wasn't confirmed by anyone. We already know that there has been a proven effort to trash Martin's reputation and character that has already included fake photos.

    Of course Mr. wait for the facts now has jumped to a conclusion without even one confirmation of the twitter. It's odd in what cases he jumps to conclusions without waiting for the facts, and when he waits for the facts.

    Also telling that when facts go against Zimmerman like the video showing him without any wounds to his head or sign of wounds at all, that he doesn't comment.

    The troll got trolled and took the bait, hook, line and sinker...

    Hilarious.

    LOL! That wasn't his story. Zimmerman's story wasn't that he was sucker punched and only later showed the effects. HAHAHAHAHA!

    If the twitter account is fake, then that is misinformation, indeed.

    I still haven't seen that proven to be a fake, however,

    How do you refute the police evidence that noted Zimmerman's physical description right after the fights.

    OOPS BACK TO SQUARE ONE FOR YOU

    lol this is fun
