Anything to say about the first hand account of a witness
who saw treyvon attack zimmerman, and zimmerman shoot
in self defense?
Who are you? A no body
Keep going on with hearsay i'll present truth
and facts, witnesses and the actual evidence
thanks. =)
Chris Tutko, director of Neighborhood Watch for the National Sheriffs' Association, said Zimmerman broke some cardinal rules.
First, he approached a stranger he suspected of wrongdoing. "If you see something suspicious, you report it, you step aside and you let law enforcement do their job," Tutko said. "This guy went way beyond the call of duty. At the least, he's overzealous."
Second, Zimmerman carried a handgun. Police departments and sheriff's offices that train volunteers advise them never to carry weapons — though Zimmerman broke no laws by doing so because he has a concealed-weapons permit. "There's no reason to carry a gun," Tutko said.
Police said Zimmerman was running an errand in his SUV — with his gun — when he first spotted Trayvon walking back from 7-Eleven about 7:15 p.m. Zimmerman called police to report Trayvon as suspicious, and although a dispatcher said he didn't need to follow the teen, the two got into a scuffle.

who is the one that is dead?
Treyvon is only dead because he attacked
the wrong guy this time..
He attacked an armed man, and that
will be the last man he ever tries to ruff up.

Fact: Someone with more knowledge of Neighborhood Watch programs and more knowledge of the Law than you has just stated that Zimmerman had no business making any contact with Martin.
That sir, is a fact you can not get away from.
if it was that easy why after a month is Zimmerman walking free, I me that guy could get lost if he wanted to, free
