There is a dead 17 year old kid who was walking home from a convenience store.
Don't forget he was carrying skittles and iced-tea and was skipping along singing the Smurfs song..."la la lalalala la lala la la"
It's just not true that he attacked George and was beating the tar out of him.

It revolves around his website where people wwere donating funds to assist him. In my opinion the judge is making an incorrect call on this one, and I can only imagine there is political pressure behind it. I make this comment on the fact that this issue has been known for sometime now and only after evidence comes out that seems to support Zimmermans account does the judge act?
This comes on the heels of the DOJ preppeing a hate crimes charge against Zimmerman.
Get him back in custody....
Charges get dismissed / dropped with prejudice.....
DOJ steps in.....
Just my 2 cents...

GZ has a "fatal accident" while in custody...
Embarrassment during an election year avoided.
Adding my non-cents

Why isn't a cop charged with manslaughter even with a 'Justified Shooting?'

There are the Geneva Conventions, but that is the only rule to war. War vs. Civil Obediance is different.

Newsflash.... You don't even got to be on a watch program. It is not, nor was it ever illegal to follow a suspicious person around your neighborhood. It is not illegal to even ask them some questions. They can respond with piss off if they want. They cannot respond by punching you however. They cannot then mount you and beat the piss out of you.

Agreed, But that 17 year old kid was recently kicked out of school for beating up his bus driver.
A 17 year old kid was walking home from a convenient store and is now dead. He was innocent in his actions at that time.
GZ's actions created and escalated as situation that never needed to happen.
Jeez.. Are you that naive? This neighborhood had had break ins, The police had been called many times. This kid was walking in the dark, alone at night and took off when the neighborhood watch tried to talk to him. You dont see how this could be suspicious? Really? I would, I would want to know about someone I didnt recognize roaming my neighborhood at night. Wouldnt you? Or are you ok with break ins and vandalism? You cannot be that naive. Seriously.. All he had to do was say, "Sir" and yes that word is important. He should "Sir, I live here and I am heading home and this is my address". Or something along those lines and I bet you money he would have been fine. Instead My guess is he got an attitude and they got into it. And yes I am basing this on the fact that his pictures make him look like he is trying to be "Gangsta" and he obviously has some anger issues because he has been in trouble for those issues. But bottom line, It was a bad situation, yes he got shot, yes its a tragedy, but should GZ go to jail for it? I say Hell No. He was within his rights to ask the kid what he was doing there, and if attacked which it looks like he was, he had every right under the law to defend himself with the gun he purchased and had permits for and was trained to use. He was defending his neighborhood just like people have done for Generations. Ask yourself this. If it had been a white kid would we even have heard about it? But stop being so naive to think this is the nice little kid that plays in the yard on a swing set.
