    It was hard to find on google, due to the sheer number of stories on George Zimmerman. I finally found a link that says the restraining order expired on August 24th, 2006.

    ....that Trayvon Martin wouldn't go quietly into that good night?

    Trayvon Martin isn't completely without "blame" in this whole thing. If he confronted Zimmerman with "why are you following me?" rather than just continue on to his dad's fiancee's house, well, better to have left the guy alone. You don't know what people are capable of doing.

    But nothing changes the fact that Zimmerman started this whole thing with racial profiling, and that he ignored the police dispatcher who basically told him "leave the kid alone, don't be a hero."

    I saw a report on TV about someone listening to the voice recordings from the incident. Actually, two different someones. They made comparisons of the screaming to other recordings of Zimmerman and were pretty sure it wasn't him. But they needed to also make comparisons to recordings from Martin to see if it was[/] Martin.

    I don't know if that was done yet, or if Martin's family had any taped whatever with Martin's voice to give the audio expert.

    I'm sure it will be a piece of evidence is valuable to know. It doesn't prove self defense, but it is a valid piece of evidence.

    Also, NBC apologized for altering his 911 call. They added the part where he said "he looks suspicious, he's black", he didn't actually say "he's black until the end when 911 asked him what ethnicity Travyon is. If I were him, I would sue the crap out of NBC once the trial is over. Although, I'm sure he's got more things to worry about right now.

    The media has been reprehensible in this entire ordeal. Just beyond belief. The NBC thing was only one of several atrocities.

    I called that on page 1 of this thread.

    lol you have a very different tone vs. your "touchdown dance" when they showed the Zimmerman video at the police station.

    You should take this as a lesson not to rush to judgment based on limited evidence. A strong lesson learned for you.

    So based on those minor cuts on his head you've now made your judgement?

    Maybe, before you worry about rushing to judgement or not at all, you should go back to the basics of reading comprehension. I didn't celebrate anything when the police video showed nothing serious on the back of Zimmerman's head.

    Once you get that, then maybe you can look at your own plethora of rushes to judgement you've been exposed for making time and time again.

    see ya

    So we have a thug who has been in trouble with the law multiple times vs a person who has never been in trouble with the law, and bigtex is supporting the thug?

    Isn't bigtex always against thugs?

    Can we move past the race profiling angle?

    Zimmerman apologizes face to face with Trayvon's parents.. plus lots of pictures

    George Zimmerman apologised to the parents of slain teenager Trayvon Martin today as the murder suspect dramatically came face-to-face with the victim's family for the first time, saying: ‘I am sorry for the loss of your son… I did not know if he was armed or not.’
    Zimmerman, 28, made the brief statement as he appeared on the witness stand in a Florida court during a bail hearing over whether he should be released on bond.
    His attorney requested that bond be set at no more than $15,000 but the state of Florida argued it should be set at $1million. The judge eventually set bail at $150,000 meaning the second degree murder suspect can be released as he awaits trial.

    Although it does look like he has some crediblity in his story from his bloody head pic but I still feel he has most of the blame for Trayvon's death. Not sure if he will get convicted on 2nd degree murder though.
