Zimmerman is not innocent. He confessed to shooting Martin. NOW the burden of proof is in Zimmerman to prove self defense justified lethal force.
He didn't turn his back to 'someone'. He turned his back to a 'criminal'. If Zimmerman was genuinely worried that the suspect was a criminal,...
Absolutely he should ...and in the meantime, Zimmerman should be behind bars. You don't leave a killer walk if there is ample proof he killed...
That is where you are wrong. If you willingly put yourself into a confrontation then you no longer are justified to use deadly force. Rather,...
...but he wasn't standing, was he? He was walking towards.
Huh? The contact has already been made. We have no evidence to suggest Zimmerman was walking back to his car. Even if her was, you don't know...
If you want to get technical, the statute is called "stand" your ground ...which is not what he did. He pursued. It has already been stated it...
Zimmerman was in his car when he called. The only reasonable way for the contact to have been made was if Zimmerman got out of his car. So...
It's true that the wording of the Florida law is poor and Jeb Bush himself has stated publicly as such. I suspect the law will be rewritten soon...

So if deadly force was not justified in this situation ...and we have a dead person ...then Zimmerman should have been arrested on the spot....
You guys keep getting hung up on this point. It is irrelevant who threw the first punch. Zimmerman would NOT be justified for using deadly...
I take it that you will not accuse others for race baiting any more. Note: still ignoring my question, huh?
C'mon texxx, we covered this already and you didn't refute. This was only like 2 pages ago. Zimmerman willfully put himself into a potentially...
If that makes you feel better. Noted: Still not answering my question.
Zimmerman was the aggressor. He initiated the entire incident. Therefore he can no longer claim self defense. You can't pick a fight and the...
Think of it this way, 200 years ago Obama would have been picking cotton. He wouldn't be, say, a banker. The man is black. There is probably...
