    I'm sure you're celebrating the release of one of your personal heroes.

    lol GZ isn't my personal hero, nor did I celebrate.

    I celebrate truth in media reporting and fair treatment. That's what I celebrate.

    So, where do you get your "truth" from? Where do you think GZ has gotten "fair treatment?" Where has he gotten "unfair treatment?"


    ...I think I can predict your answer.

    You think the media has been fair to Zimmerman in portraying this?

    I think that if Zimmerman hadn't decided to play cowboy cop, the media would never have had a chance to portray it, whether fairly or unfairly.

    Relevancy = 0

    Someone asked:

    Where has he gotten "unfair treatment?

    I thought it was obvious the media jacked him up so was asking directly.

    If somebody is getting beat to a pulp from an unprovoked attack, would you call him a cowboy cop?

    You have decided that the attack was unprovoked? Where is your evidence of this? Link?

    so the media never reported on information which helped ZM's defense and hurt TM's character?

    NOt really... until the alternative media beat them to it. Remember those first photos of Trayvon as a sixth-grader and GZ's mug shot side-by-side?

    Remember, when coverage broke everyone was blasting the same manipulated 911 recording. The recording was obviously altered to insinuate that GZ was racist, and that this was a racially motivated crime (more interesting = more ratings).

    Objection, relevance.

    He decided to pack his weapon and play Miami Vice by following the kid around. It was apparently obvious enough of a tail to cause the kid to feel an altercation was necessary. If cowboy Zim had not done that, and had just given the information to the real cops, there would have been no altercation to escalate to a killing.

    Stand your ground was never intended to protect people who go looking for trouble.

    you need to actually spend time reading the facts of the case. You've fallen victim to media bias due to your laziness of not reading all the details

    objection: legal incompetence from the intramural ref

    Oh please.

    You have failed to state one single fact in this entire thread. You have posted nothing but innuendo, irrelevant information, hypotheticals and drivel.

    A few facts: Trayvon had mar1juana in his blood stream and reports indicated that GZ had a broken nose. Media unfairly portrayed Trayvon as a perfect child and GZ as a murderer.

    Why do you guys keeping posting the fact that Martin had mar1juana in his system? Last i checked, that is not an illegal offense just like everybody who keeps referring to that states it was not illegal for Zimmerman to follow.

    For the 117th time, you cannot have it both ways.

    It is certainly fairly compelling circumstantial evidence that he was at some point in violation of the law prohibiting the actual or constructive possession of cannabis 893.13(6)(b). It is possible that someone tricked him into ingesting it or forced him to take it against his will, but that seems very unlikely.

    In contrast, Zimmerman following Martin does not tend to prove his guilt of any crime.
