Fact: No where is there evidence or even hinted that Zimmerman "chased" nor "cornered" Martin as some of you are erroneously reporting.
Fact: his girlfriend told Martin to run and he replied that he would not which seems to insinuate that he was deciding to instead confront Zimmerman.
The reason we are winning this argument is because the evidence is on our side. You guys who are defending Martin continually resort to fabrication and twisting/stretching of the truth to make your biased claims.
Zimmerman himself told 911 that he was following Trayvon after Trayvon tried to run away from him.
Zimmerman himself told 911 that Trayvon was running away.
Don't worry guys...just a dead black kid...no need to investigate further.
NO ONE on here knows what happened

Your doing it again....you have no idea of how the system works do you? The Police do not judge innocence or guilt. When they have facts that a crime has been committed, they charge and arrest the "accused". The Police, at the time of this incident, had witness statements and DID NOT have facts that a crime was committed.
If facts arise later, the prosecutor will issue an arrest warrant for the accused and have the police arrest them. If the family wants an inquiry, they can request it. Even a Grand Jury Investigation, which is the direction this case has gone.
Got it....hope you understand it now????

If it was Zimmerman, what was the aggressive act? An attempt to communicate with a person that was being evasive?
we all know who the aggressor was in the overall situation.
Is there an eyewitness that observed Zimmerman being aggressive with Martin?
And it better be physical, because I can get in your face and talk nasty to you and you don't have any reason to get physical with me.
Let's look at your logic.
Someone who is being chased by someone else has no right to "defend" themselves if they feel like they are in danger.
But someone who is actively chasing someone down has the right to shoot and kill that person if the tables get turned on them.
Great logic.
But the black kid was wearing a hoodie...and he was black...and a thug....no great loss right...Zimmerman probably did us all a favor
Plenty of people have posted these eyewitness accounts such as the fact that Martin attacked Zimmerman first, yet ofcourse conveniently you have selectively left that out and pretended it's not even in the equation which just shows your bias and proves why you are wrong and justice does not agree with you (which is why Zimmerman is free)
And Trayvon himself told his girlfriend that he would NOT run and he is only walking. So you're saying you rather believe the guy you think is a murderer over the guy you are trying to defend? So you're basically calling the guy whom you are defending a liar. Interesting

We know an adult was following a "coon", Zimmerman's own words, because he was walking while black.
We know that an unarmed kid was shot dead by an adult male who made it his job to chase down this dangerous criminal who was armed with skittles.
And we know that a lot of racism still exist in America....we knwo a lot actually.

The kid got killed and that is sad, regardless of the stuff we don't know about yet.
My question is why does Obama take it upon himself to conveniently interject himself into this story by claiming this kid could pass for an Obama Jr?
If that doesn't tell even his hard core fans that Barack is an egotistica/opportunistic aye-hole I don't know what will.
Obama is trying to politicize this story because it has Race War written all over it.

So if its not "fair" why hasn't Obama played his hand in any of THESE CASES ?
Obama is not directly asked about every other case.
Again,for a President to get "personal" in this PARTICULAR one,speaks volumes.
No one was being "chased" so it throws your entire premise straight out the window and only proves you are using outright lies and disinformation to make your biased point and continue your agenda.

Zimmerman is free because of lazy police work and using Floridas Stand Your Ground law which did not even apply in this case.
Perhaps you missed the part where I said who threw the first punch is irrelevant.
I have no problem admitting, according to the witness account, that Martin may have physically attacked Zimmerman first.
Just as I would have no problem admitting to police that I thew the first punch at someone who followed me after I ran (which Zimmerman told 911 he did and which was confirmed on the recording) in the dead of the night.
I'd let the court decide who was right or wrong. But I guarantee you one thing, if the 911 call was presented as evidence where my pursuer was told to back off, and he didn't, I'd be walking out of court a free man.

NO ONE has posted any evidence of Martin attacking Zimmerman first.
Several people posted the evidence, I guess you haven't been reading the thread.
There was an eyewitness account that said Martin jumped out and attacked Zimmerman as he was walking back to his car.

By Zimmerman's own admission...Trayvon ran away...Zimmerman followed.
That is being chased in my book.
One dead black kid though...no biggie...did you see that photo of him giving the camera the finger??? What a little thug...he's better off dead...you know those coons never amount to anything.
There you go again,,,chased? Where in the statements does it say he was being chased? Also, can you please quit tossing the race card around. It only adds to the ignorance of your posts!
