So, you are simply going to blindly support a man who killed a minor child regardless of why?
Truly sad.

Even if you did provide sources,
none of that is
"relevant to the case"

So the facts that he was advised by the 911 operators not to follow, was carrying a gun and killed a minor are not relevant to this case? And if you need proof, listen to the initial 911 call and read the police report. All of which have been posted over and over and over and over and over.
I can't comment on the lying part or history of domestic violence. I haven't seen or read anything about those, so I would need to see some kind of proof about them.

Minor is a legal term denoting the difference between a child and an adult. In the eyes of the law, he was child.
Zimmerman shot and killed a child, and you support him.
If that is what I was saying, then I would have said it. I did not say that.

So in your opinion, screw justice, screw it all. Zimmerman had and has no right to self defense.
Is that what you are saying?

What happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? Does that only work for Zimmerman? Oh, it does, actually, because the deceased cannot stand trial for any crimes.. so technically he will remain innocent, since he cannot go to trial.. thanks to Zimmerman.
I wonder where your support would go if a jury finds him guilty.edit on 27-3-2012 by Furbs because: (no reason given)
So *snipping* what?

And Trayvon's lying family initiallysaid that his suspension was for tardiness.
Does it make them easy to believe?
You brought up marijuana, which has absolutely no relevance in regards to this specific case. Yet I'm the one who is trying to "steer the conversation away"?

If you remember Trayvon has been presented as a slightly built boy that had a great record in school and a bright future before him.
That he was suspended from school was initially denied, then it was denied that he had been suspended for possessing marijuana on school grounds. Now it turns out that his family is admitting that he was indeed suspended for marijuana possession on school grounds.
At no point did I say that marijuana possession is a crime punishable by death.
You are simply trying to steer this away from the fact that the squeaky clean Trayvon doesn't exist anymore.
[color=B5FF55]Neither is Zimmerman.

Google " 911 operator errors" then you can see how great they are. [color=B5FF55]They are not cops, they are not EMT's and they are not firemen.

That's not a picture of Trayvon Martin. A bunch of pictures of young black males were put out by members of Stormfront stating they were recent pictures of him, along with a whole lot of other nonsense trying to smear the kid.
The February 2012 HOA newsletter requested that crime victims "call our captain, George Zimmerman" after calling the police.[8] Wendy Dorival, who organizes Neighborhood Watch for the Sanford Police Department, told the Sentinel in a recent interview that Zimmerman was chosen as a watch coordinator by his neighbors.[42]
The Retreat at Twin Lakes is a recently built private community in Sanford, Florida consisting of townhouses and condominiums. Vehicular access is by gates to the north and east, which are unguarded but electronically controlled.

Lies....no domestic abuse...
His friend was getting arrested once when he was 21and drunk in a bar, he pushed the cop. charges dropped.
In August 2005, Zimmerman’s ex-fiancee, Veronica Zuazo, filed a civil motion for a restraining order alleging domestic violence. Zimmerman counterfiled for a restraining order against Zuazo. The competing claims were resolved with both restraining orders’ being granted.
Answered 2 years ago. Criminal Defense Attorney in Jacksonville, FL. I'm sorry to hear about your circumstances. Raising teenagers can be devilishly difficult. Any juvenile can be charged as an adult, in theory. The decision is made by the State Attorney and they should take a number of factors into consideration. How a child behaves at home is generally not one of them, however. A child's criminal behavior is examined closely, meaning history, type of crimes, treatment in the past, if there is a past, and the crime that brought the child to the State's attention. Violent crimes (gun crimes, assaults, robbery, etc.) seem to be the ones that get the most direct, or adult, filing decisions. Once a child is prosecuted as an adult, he remains an adult in the criminal justice system forever after. Here in Duval county, our new State Attorney has strongly stepped up juvenile direct file cases, even for children with no prior record.
