    Martins main problem was his cheating girlfriend. She is who he was talking to on his cell phone. She pissed him off and he took it out on Zimmerman. READ the Trial records.

    Actually he had been in trouble at school and one reason he was staying at the apartment and the being a sympathetic figure to some does not excuse what he did which got him killed.

    There was no racial profiling in either and Obama should have dispelled that and what does the color of Martin's skin have to do with anything. Would his son ACT like Matin? Did Obama address his behavior of just looks? Did he have the courage to address what causes young black males to act violently and believe they are above the law and and can assault people at will?

    She wasn't a girlfriend she was a girl friend. Martin was trying to show off to her about what a tough guy he was.

    Trayvon was a kid being profiled by an adult in his father's neighborhood, who was killed by a busybody. That didn't sit well with alot of people.

    Both cases looked very much like racial profiling. The President's actions were correct and appropriate. Did Zimmerman have domestic violence in his background? I have read that somewhere. Trayvon had no criminal history of attacking random men.

    This is what you said.........

    Looting and burning businesses that had nothing to do with any of it is now classified as "protest". Seems to me like it's just a good excuse to act like animals to steal and tear up somebody else's property. A protest is organized, has the appropriate permits and carry signs to get media coverage. Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I was 8 years old when Selma happened in 1965. That protest march made people side with the protesters because they were treated unfairly. In Ferguson just the opposite happened.

    Oh my noes! And the media was telling us that Trayvon was a 12 year old kid just skipping home from buying some candy.

    Turns out Trayvon was a druggie who got caught carrying a burglary tool. Looks like George had good instincts on that one.

    This is a case that Democrats enjoy being furious over yet they simply never looked up the facts. They have a major Clue.
    The Jury found Zimmerman innocent. Works for me.

    Now you bring his father into this? He was not living with his father. The man was his uncle.
    Let me number the events.
    1. Trayvon was in trouble where he was living so was sent to live in Fl with his uncle. For the purpose of straightening out the youth.
    2. Said evening of his death, returning from shopping, he saw Zimmerman sitting in his car parked by the curb. He walks up to the car and circles around Zimmerman. This spooked Zimmerman and he got on his phone to contact dispatch. She asks Zimmerman where the black went to. Zimmerman leaves his car to tell her where Martin went to. When he saw Martin, he told her where he was. Martin sees Zimmerman back of him and turns around to go to Zimmerman. Zimmerman tells dispatch and reverses course to go back to his car. Martin catches him and commences punching him and smashing his head into the sidewalk trying it seems to kill Zimmerman. Zimmerman suddenly is uncovered enough by Martin for Zimmerman to get his pistol and he shoots Martin. This is why the Jury found Zimmerman not guilty.
    3. Secondary problem for Martin. Martin learned on his cell phone, his girl cheated on him. He pleads with her to come back to him. And she tells him off. This made Martin angry. I believe it was this angry Martin who returned to fight Zimmerman and lost his life due to being angry.

    Anyway, this is what the Jury believed. And evidence provided made them believe Zimmerman is not guilty. As to Zimmerman suing the family, well some lawyer coached him to do that. Apparently the lawyer thinks Martin Can win his case.

    For technical reasons, I shall correct what I learned this eve.
    1. Martin lived in FL and was suspended from school for having drugs in his possession.
    2. He goes to visit his father. The house in the housing complex was not his fathers, it was his fathers fiancee. She is who lived in the complex where Martin died.
    3. Martin was definitely distracted by being on the phone to his girlfriend. She told him on the call she was having sex with some other guy. This made him angry. But he wanted to keep her anyway. She told him off. I judge his state of mind was pretty darned angry. And he encounters Zimmerman and beats him badly enough Zimmerman has severe head wounds to his back of his head along with a broken nose which is bleeding.

    They still are killed and not put on trial. Do you know the difference between de facto and de jure?

    True, but the fact is that Obama is himself a racist and fully intended to race-agitate as president. He was good at doing so and not only because as president he was in charge of the bully pulpit but because the Left pretty much openly worshiped Barack and essentially the vast bulk of the Media worked for the interests of the DNC. In a way the real reason that today our leftists utterly refute known and established facts in the Trayvon case is that their GOD went on the attack against George. It has now become a religious issue with them.

    It was a simple, and typical, self defense case. I live in the viewing area and saw the TV coverage of it the morning after it happened. It didn't become a national issue until several weeks later when the family got Sharpton involved. And the case ended exactly as it started, a simple self defense case.

    There were a lot of people, including I suppose yourself, who wanted to overturn the justice system because they bought Sharpton's BS. I'm glad the law survived the onslaught that you were cheering on. This is why criminal trials should be based on evidence and not what "didn't sit well with alot of people."

    You have no argument. You are doing nothing but playing the 'what if' game. You absolutely refuse to argue the facts and evidence.

    The evidence suggests martin attacked Zimmerman. That is not disputable. It is the evidence and that's all we have to go on. Based on the evidence, Zimmerman was defending himself which he is allowed to do.

    It doesn't matter that you think zimmerman shouldn't have been following him. It only matters what happened. The trial is only about what happened. It's not about anything else.

    I look forward to you ignoring this or deflecting.....as you've done the entire thread.

    I disagree about Obama. Racist, no but certainly has preconceived prejudices. I think he actually believe that by the power of his personality and his "community organizer" background he could change race relations just by talking and of course blaming white people and police and showing how THEY must change. This of course ignored the core issue of problems inherient in the black community not "existential" causes using the Democrat/MSM woe of the month.
