    I didn't say it wasn't legal, I said you're looking for a fight when you do that.

    thanks for the advice though.

    I didn't really believe anything she said other than she herself saw no wrong in using that word.

    his problem was created when he was confronted by a wanabe cop

    I don't care if Zimmerman reported him, he shouldn't have confronted him. he started the confrontation that resulted in a death of a teenager because he profiled a young black man

    i'm not arguing this, i'm stating it, you can respond all you want.

    Zimmerman lied about the bushes

    he lied about his injuries according to the medical examaminer that just testified

    why do you keep defending a liar and accusing a teenager who didn't deserve to die who isn't here to defend himself against the liar?

    enough rain to wash away the supposed more than twenty blows, that the med examiner just pretty much proved was a lie.

    You insult the memory of King by quoting him.

    He actually said this:

    I have also decided to stick with love, for I know that love is ultimately the only answer to mankind’s problems. And I’m going to talk about it everywhere I go. I know it isn’t popular to talk about it in some circles today. And I’m not talking about emotional bosh when I talk about love; I’m talking about a strong, demanding love. For I have seen too much hate. I’ve seen too much hate on the faces of sheriffs in the South. I’ve seen hate on the faces of too many Klansmen and too many White Citizens Councilors in the South to want to hate, myself, because every time I see it, I know that it does something to their faces and their personalities, and I say to myself that hate is too great a burden to bear. I have decided to love. If you are seeking the highest good, I think you can find it through love.

    You, who have slandered the civil rights movement in the past, You who post nothing but hate.

    You know nothing of love

    It's not been proven that he profiled a young black man -- that's your projection

    and GZ had a right to approach TM

    If I'm a resident of the community, I'd be glad to have somebody watching out for crime in the neighborhood. Especially glad if they go talk to illegal drug users wandering around...

    he wasn't wandering around, I find it sad that you have to slander a kid who was murdered to protect the murder

    how old are you.

    You can go back and forth debating all day on possibilities, but in the real world the prosecution is running out of time -- where are the facts to convict GZ of murder?

    I didn't slander TM -- it's fact he was an illegal drug user. Check the autopsy

    You've been biased by the media and your emotional investment in this case. You need to focus on facts. Your bias is evident for all to see.

    Yeah, everybody can give their opinion of what really went down but only GZ and TM know. According to the law there is not enough evidence to convict GZ from what I'm seeing.

    Technically, GZ reported "a guy" and when pressed for a skin color, said "black."

    so are you saying they should have charged him with a lessor charge?

    what do you mean by "where are the facts"

    fact- he didn't have life threatening injuries, the med examiner just testified

    if you believe martin's friend, then it is a fact that martin was followed, if you don't then it isn't

    lastly I think the 911 tape is pretty convincing but that is my opinion. if the prosecution could put on a voice expert it wouldn't even be a question

    it is when you use it to describe someone confronted by a wanabe cop who actually knew where he was going.

    its basically a lie that you have to make up to justify the confrontation
