Since when is a 9-11 dispatcher a cop?
They have no legal authority over you
and can only suggest what to do from a script..

Zim engaged the individual, and ended up shooting him.
I don't see how that's self defense.

I'm sorry but It's crap.
The kid had some sweets and a drink.
If Zimmerman was so threatened then shoot his legs, shoot to maim... not to kill.
The guy was wondering around thinking he was a bad--ass, neighbourhood watch tool, with a gun.
He's sees a black kid (must be up to no good right?) and goes to tackle him... even AFTER police told him not to.
Now kid is dead.
And this dick head is wandering around a free man.
What a load of BS

I feel this thread kinda backpedaled with people bringing back the race issue....Zimmerman being half hispanic and having black family members and friends rules out the hate crime. People making it a race discussion are just fueling unecessary fire.
Well the POTUS is the one pouring gas on this fire my friend... agitator-in-chief you can take the boy out of Chicago but you cannot take Chicago out of the boy. Way to stir-up racial tensions to push an agenda - Thanks Barry.

I've given the picture issue a thought, there's no agenda behind the younger picture of Martin. Simply put, it was probably the most recent ''physical'' picture his parents could provide. Everything is digital now...any other recent pictures are probably Face book pictures. Now we all know how young people tend to pose and how those pictures are for the most part goofy.
Wow are you really going to go there -
1. if the Parents don't have a recent school photo for their kid they are not doing it right. I get one (actually two i think) a year. Nice posed shots from a professional. You know the ones that go in the yearbooks and on parental desks at work and on the walls home. Then again - this may say something... Perhaps the parents needed to be more engaged in his life?
2. If your kid's FB page looks and sounds like a thug nation recruiting poster - again you are doing it wrong. Sorry, you walk, talk, act and portray all outward appearances of a "gangster" in dress and manner - people will take you for one. Can't dress and act like a thug then cry foul when people perceive you as one. Again, where are the parents?

It’s called parenting - I have a daughter, she doesn't pose like a thug, in skimpy clothing, a bathing suit, or PJ's for FB posts. She doesn't purse her lips and pretend to be slutty etc.... She knows better - it sends the wrong message.
She has some FB friends who have questionable posts sometimes - won't be at all surprised when they end up 16 and pregnant to be honest. You reap what you sow as far as your image in concerned.
Act a fool, people will treat you like one, act a slut same goes - act a thug...not a hard leap to make either.
Again - this culture that kids have nowadays in which they speak, dress and act like thugs then cry foul when people perceive them as such astonishes me.
