    Did he stick around and wait for the press?

    No he didn't, he talked to the police then left. They asked him if he had seen the accident. He told them he had not. The asked him his name. He told them.

    Did he blow out the flames with his Zuperbreath, and lift the truck with one hand, while wearing his caped skintight suit with the "Z" on the chest?

    Nothing makes up for taking a life. Everyone only has one to lose and Americans should not be so blase over the loss of them as is oh! so evident in the Martin/Zimmerman episode.

    Thousands of Americans.. maybe more ... have pulled people out of flipped cars. Its what people do.

    No.. the car/truck was not on fire. But George, being cautious, grabbed his fire extinguisher just in case.

    Whether or not you would "hope" or "expect that sort of behavior to be considered "typical," in no way indicates that it actually is typical. Some have excused inaction by the masses on the scene of an atrocity or otherwise circumventable tragedy as the "bystander effect," if it has been given such a name and considered to be prevalent enough to "categorize" by the mental health community, that indicates that while admirable, such behavior is not necessarily inherently "typical" and is actually somewhat uncommon.

    Courage is action in the face of fear. It was 4 days after his release. He was probably dealing with retrieving his property from somewhere.

    You guys seem to confuse hero with superhero.

    I do agree with margot, I have pulled 3 or 4 people out of car wrecks ( 2 burning and 100 percent serious ). It is just what we do as people.

    When you were doing that, how many cars just drove by without stopping?

    Every time I've stopped to help people, I've seen numerous cars go by without stopping. Based on what I saw, I'd say that stopping to help is not what most people actually do.

    Cool story, unfortunately all Trayvon did was "Stand his Ground" against a random dude who chased him around the neighborhood at night without identifying himself.

    And you continue the absolute lie. The challenge for you is to post the evidence he did just that. The clock has started, let's see your evidence, I'm sure the prosecution in this case will feel so inadequate for not having this evidence when the trial was going on, and here you have been sitting on it all this time.

    You act like the evidence is hard to find... here it is, straight from the horse's mouth:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC_0cgsmCfQ
    Zimmerman admits to following Treyvon in his vehicle, admits to then following him on foot, and admits that he didn't identify himself when Treyvon asked him what his problem was.

    If I'm continuing a lie, it's one that Zimmerman told first. :)

    Wow, a reenactment, now that is hard evidence. He followed him for a brief moment while on the phone with 911, then was asked "we don't need you to do that"

    Do you actually have any contribution to this thread topic, or are you still trying this case in your head even though you lost in a court of law?

    Zimmerman's first-hand recreation of the event illusrates that Treyvon was followed at night (by vehicle and on foot) by a stranger who never identified himself. If Treyvon had killed Zimmerman, the SYG law would have protected him too.

    I didn't realize I had tried a case in a court of law. :roflol:

    Think of it this way...

    Imagine your daughter is walking home from the store, and a man in a car starts following her.
    She tries to take a route that his car can't follow, and he gets out to chase her on foot.
    She stops running and defends herself (knees him in the groin, pepper sprays him, whatever).
    He doesn't even try to defend himself with hand-to-hand, he just pulls out a gun and shoots her.
    Suddenly, she is called the aggressor and he gets off on self-defense.

    Would you still be celebrating? Would it make a difference if your daughter had ever smoked pot?

    Zimmerman was found not guilty by reason of self defense, so no matter what you want to be true, no matter how many times you try to recreate the scene, it won't change anything. If you continue trying this case in your head over and over you will come to the same conclusion because the committee between your ears keeps telling you that you are right.

    His "self-defense" defense was only possible because of a moronic law that makes it possible for every argument to result in death.
    The fact is that he is responsible for instigating situation that night.

    The fact that you can't respond to the scenario I highlighted proves that you know this - no matter how much you attempt to be insulting by saying I have "a committee between my ears".

    My daughter would not be suspended, she would not be at her moms girlfriends house. She would be dressed like a lady, and would not be hanging out in the rain at night to avoid going home. She would not have been kicked out of her mothers house, and she would be armed... not forgotten and kicked from place to place.

    The fact that Treyvon was suspended means he deserved to be stalked and killed?
    The fact that he wore a hoodie means he deserved to be stalked and killed?
    The fact that he went to the corner to get some skittles and ice tea (not "hanging out to avoid going home") means he deserved to be stalked and killed?
    The perception that Treyvon was forgotten and kicked from place to place was his fault, and means he deserved to be stalked and killed?

    Your daughter would be armed... so she would be able to shoot anyone stalking her at night, and would be justified in doing so, right?
    Yet Treyvon was not justified in defending himself, and doing so means he deserved to be stalked and killed?

    Think of it this way. Once your daughter ran and lost sight of him and had plenty of time to get away or call 911, why would she confront him again?
