    No it's reality. Let's be honest here.

    Well, now we know why the evidence dump happened from the Zimmerman family this week.

    Mr Zimmerman is in a world of trouble.

    Documents Show Cops Believed Trayvon Martin Killing Was ‘Ultimately Avoidable’

    The killing of Trayvon Martin was “ultimately avoidable” if George Zimmerman had just stayed in his vehicle instead of pursuing the unarmed teen, Florida police investigators concluded in one of a series of reports on the case released late Thursday.

    Instead, the Sanford Police Department investigators wrote, Zimmerman confronted the teen, ended up in a struggle and eventually shot him in the chest. In the end, Martin was dead and police were recommending the neighborhood watchman be brought up on a criminal charge of manslaughter.

    1. Was Trayvon guilty of anything at the time?

    2. Not a criminal but he did have incidents in the past.

    3. Do we know he was doing anything else besides going to the store? I have heard nothing saying he had any other motive.

    4. Not true, other injuries were discussed.

    5. Nobody will EVER know if this is true or not.

    1. Appears to be suspended not expelled for paraphernalia. I may be wrong about that.

    2. It was a tool (screwdriver) described as such by security. It may or may not have been a burglary tool.

    3. If I remember it was Twitter account and somebody else posed that question. Again I may be behind on the details.

    4. True.

    5. Yes but do we know if he was a user positively?

    6. The autopsy report noted a 1/4 inch wound and nothing else that I read. Is it really that consistent?

    7. I can't really remember the map but I don't think they weren't where near the vehicle. Maybe I'm wrong.

    8. White-Hispanic

    9. True.

    No actually he'd be called black by the same logic. I can't help you understand why because you clearly are color blind.

    we should all strive to be "color blind" -- and not focus on the color of a man's skin

    Too bad for trayvon mr. Z didn't live up to that ideal.

    But seriously if you cant tell apart white Hispanic from Hispanic it explains a lot.

    Many, many people in the media need to be fired over this trumped up, media hyped, agenda-pushing story. If it can be proven that the White House was in coordination with the media over how this was portrayed, which I believe was the case, then this will be explosive. The White House benefits from increased voter enthusiasm (I'd say 95% of Trayvon's supporters are likely Obama voters) in a swing state. This attention was purposeful, when Obama politicos decided they could use this situation for their benefit. It looks like that was a very bad decision at this point. Unfortunately, Obama's team would risk violence and unrest in the streets if it means a few more votes. That's how they view the world, through a political lens.

    Now that the facts are out, it sure seems to me like Zimmerman was doing exactly what his job was -- to protect the community against trouble. How else would you describe a teenager with a history of violence and crime who is hopped up on drugs, roaming the streets and ready to fight at a moment's notice? There is a large segment of society who will not change their view on this case regardless of being overwhelmed with facts.

    I wanna know what Obama offered Zimmerman to kill Martin? Or maybe he talked Martin into sacrificing his life (like a suicide bomber) for the cause. That would be cool to know.

    clearly trayvon has no right as a young black teenager to even walk the streets of that town. good for zimmerman for protecting us from this dangerous unarmed teenager drinking tea and eating skittles! and great job for him to chase him and then shoot him before he could harmfully endanger z's life with that dangerous bag of skittles!
