Zimmerman shot a kid defending himself from an altercation he started and pursued, and judging from the photos only damage done to him was his pride.lamprey263I would say the damage evident in those picture goes a bit beyond pride. He looks pretty beat up and his nose pretty much messed. That said I wouldn't completely rule out the possibility that the wounds were self inflicted though I would say it is extremely unlikely. I don't know, nor can I know, what and who started the fight but I will say Zimmerman was being an idiot pursuing someone the way he did.

But don't you think Zimmerman screwed it when he admitted he acted because he saw a suspecious looking man walking in the neighborhood? Where I come from, even cops can't stop  and search drug dealers and addicts what if a guy "looking suspecious" because he was wearing a hoody. Zimmerman had an intent to kill him before they even started a fight.Â

Lol what the **** is the ****? So rappers are the bane of society right now? :lol: GTFO
Yes, exactly. I agree fully, the ones that glorify violence are one of the banes of society, they are not real hip hop artists either. Despite what some think, rap wasn't always violent and was better when it wasn't.[QUOTE="Shottayouth13-"][QUOTE="lo_Pine"]People who advocate and glorify the act of being violently deviant toward the rest of society.TheWalkingGhost

There is no law against watching someone you find suspicious.......and cops have the "probable cause" reason FYI. Sure it can't be on mere looks but you'd be surprised at what can be caused okay.I've honestly avoided this story like the plague. I sort of have a habbit of doing this with murder trials.
I don't think he'll be convicted of murder, but he put himself in a situation when he was told not to follow (from the transcripts of one of the phone calls he made to police, I believe). He aggravated the situation. He shouldn't get off scott free
Following isn't against the law though......I don't think he'll be convicted of murder, but he put himself in a situation when he was told not to follow (from the transcripts of one of the phone calls he made to police, I believe). He aggravated the situation. He shouldn't get off scott free

Despite what some think, rap wasn't always violent and was better when it wasn't. 2Pac and Biggie are not real hip hop artists? :lol: GTFOAnybody who thinks Zimmerman is going to be found guilty after this trial needs to get their head examined. Trayvon described Zimmerman as a "Creepy ass white cracker" which his girlfriend confirmed on the stand. Therefore we know the conflict was at least partially racially motivated, but not by Zimmerman (unless there is some new evidence) yet so far the prosecution has been getting annihilated to the point of embarrassment.Â
I think the most hilarious thing so far is her stating "creepy ass white cracker" isn't racist on the stand because it shows the mindset. In her mind it's okay for her and Tray Tray to spew out racial comments, but if Zimmerman were to do it, it would somehow confirm the crime was racially motivated on his part meaning he is guilty. (They have to look at Trayvons part as well) Why she cant see this from the other side I will never know.Â
I'm calling it right now, Zimmerman is going to be acquitted. I know it's a bit early but I can't see how they are going to be able to come back from this when their star witness is getting annihilated like this. I personally don't think he is guilty, so far the evidence shown proves (in my opinion) his story of the event true, which means it was self defense. Also the media likes to label Trayvon as some "small teenage kid" by using old photo's of him, when in reality he was bigger than Zimmerman (Trayvon was 6"0-6"1 Zimmerman 5"8) and Trayvon looked to be more muscular as well from his current photo's. Zimmerman was the smaller dog in that fight, so why people are so surprised at his injuries and need to defend himself is beyond me, must be media brainwashing.Â
Also unless they can prove beyond reasonable doubt that Zimmerman is guilty (which they wont be able to) nothing is going to happen to Zimmerman beyond maybe a tiny slap on the wrists. Another thing that amazes is me is how they are labelling him as caucasian when he is half latino, so by their logic if Obama was put in Zimmerman's position he should then be considered "white" too, but we know they only pull the race card when it serves to benefit them and their story.Â

[QUOTE="LLYNCES"]ok all that is nice. Now what gave him the right to shoot the kid? Getting his face punched in and head smashed against the concrete? Of course that is if Martin started the fight, which we don't know for sure, but there is absolutely plausible scenarios where Zimmerman had the right to defend himself. Nobody knows for sure since no one witnessed the actual start of the fight, but acting as if there is no way Zimmerman can be innocent is ridiculous. There's a lot of physical evidence that at least partially supports his testimony.Anybody who thinks Zimmerman is going to be found guilty after this trial needs to get their head examined. Trayvon described Zimmerman as a "Creepy ass white cracker" which his girlfriend confirmed on the stand.

Okay, but Zimmerman was told not to pursue Martin. Police were on the way. Martin knew he was being followed by a man he didnt know. Couldn't he have been acting in self defense? Only difference was Zimmerman had a gun and the kid didnt. If it had been the other way around it wouldn't even be in the news. ninjastarIt's not illegal to approach somebody and ask them what they are doing, or even follow them, especially if you think they are up to something illegal. The dispatcher has no real authority on the matter, the best they can do is offer advice. The police are not allowed to tell you where you can and cannot go unless it's a military base or something to do with government or private property, or if you are under arrest.Â

Some of you have no sense of reality... if a person is following you either confront them or run. Martin wasnt wrong in either scenario. Some of you sound like the type of people that would have supported that man that killed that teenager for having loud music in florida...

Idiotic reasoning. Zimmerman had every right to watch Martin as well. What this case really boils down to is who started the physical confrontation. You nor I know that, but the simple reality is there are plausible scenarios where Zimmerman is an innocent man.

That's not a double standard lol... Again, it's possible Zimmerman started the fight too but the idea that if Martin did he had the right to assault Zimmerman is absolutely asinine. Difference of opinions. All I can say is as a minority I certainly feel what that boy was thinking. Leave it at that.

If someone came up to me while I'm just walking in an aggressive manner, and lets be real Zimmerman didnt casually stroll up to Martin, I would get defensive. I'm sure words were said and a fight ensued. When I say kid, I don't mean size, I mean in the fact that one was an adult with the midset(hopefully) of one and the other of a kid. He had injuries yes but had he not got out of his vehicle none of this would have happened. That is my point. He was trying to be tough or a t like a hero and all that happened was a person is dead and it's by his hands. He has to take responsibility for his actions. ninjastarIf someone came up to me and asked what I was doing I would have probably just said I was living with my Dad at his girlfriends house and that would have most likely been the end of it.

He was simply walking. I doubt that would have been the end as Zimmerman was all bent out of shape about him just walking around.
