    1. They were not statues; they were in a struggle with one another which means movement and movement means exposure. Get real.

    2. Oh, "arms forward" I see. Is that a natural fighting position? No.That is a a defenseless position and neither is it an offensive position.

    Are you serious? Like i don't understand how stupid one person can be.

    I'm sure you also believe that GZ was out of his car because he did not know which street he was on. Great neighbourhood captain there that didn't know which streets he is responsible for.

    I don't know how the verdict will come out and what really happened but it seems pretty obvious to me that Zimmerman is lying about at least some aspects of what happened that night. He'd been better off not saying anything and asking for a lawyer than lying. Big mistake. If I had to guess I'd say manslaughter conviction but considering the horrible performance by some of the prosecution witnesses an acquittal would not surprise me. Just glad there was a trial.

    Seriously bob. Do you really have to copy and post everything you see with no analysis? It adds nothing to the discourse and sucks up bandwidth.

    Why is that black guy with the hat wearing a Kevin James t-shirt? Strange.

    So... Advertising aiming a gun at a Hispanic person's head is showing support for a black person.

    Would a white person wearing a shirt with a black person being aimed at be showing support for a white person?

    Just as an aside, whites are 13 times more likely to be murdered by a black offender than the reverse (ie black victim of a white offender). And for every one instance of a white offender killing a black victim, there are 12.6 times as many instances in which both the offender and victim were black. These stats are based 0n 2011 FBI data.

    That ought to be a point in his favor. If he were the evil man the Crumptards portrayed him as being, he would have immediately lawyered up. Instead he completely cooperated with the police and it may come back to bite him.
