    Correct on the first point and I'll take your word on the second.

    What Actions were committed by Martin? Walking home in the rain, wearing a hoodie and taking on the phone is perfectly NORMAL behavior in neighborhoods all over the US.

    Nonetheless, he'd been beaten. If someone is attacking you, even if the initial injuries are "minor", are you going to just let them continue to do so without knowing how far they'll go or will you defend yourself?

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...-zimmerman-trayvon-martin--marijuana/2501293/
    Evidence supports George Zimmerman's claim that Trayvon Martin was on top of him when Zimmerman fired the shot that claimed Trayvon's life, a forensic pathologist testified Tuesday at Zimmerman's murder trial.

    "The medical evidence is consistent with Mr. Zimmerman's statement," said Vincent Di Maio, an expert witness for the defense. The pathologist also found that Trayvon lived no more than three minutes after the shooting and probably was conscious for at least 10 to15 seconds.

    Di Maio also testified that Zimmerman's head injuries could have been caused by coming into contact with concrete and that such injuries can be very dangerous. That testimony supported Zimmerman's claim that Trayvon was slamming his head into a sidewalk.

    Di Maio said Zimmerman had at least six injuries from the struggle: two head lacerations, two wounds to his temples and wounds on his nose and forehead. Those injuries were consistent with having his head banged into a sidewalk, Di Maio said.

    What injuries did the doctor report?

    I'll help you out since everyone knows you will ignore the question.

    A medical report compiled by the family physician of Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman and obtained exclusively by ABC News found that Zimmerman was diagnosed with a "closed fracture" of his nose, a pair of black eyes, two lacerations to the back of his head and a minor back injury the day after he fatally shot Martin during an alleged altercation.

    I agree but kids are stupid and don't always make good decisions, as this case clearly demonstrated. But GZ should have told TM who he was and what he was doing...period! What is so difficult about saying..."I'm the NW guy and you don't look familiar"...and that would have been it.

    Again, what does florida's laws says that you can do when someone is assaulting you? Have you checked florida's laws in such situation.

    Gunning another and the follow up legal hassles and fame,
    certainly could change a person. Si?
    Do we have a "before" picture?

    Agreed. Since we only have one side of the conversation, it's difficult to judge what either said. Still, clearly a fight started and just as clearly Martin had to blindside Zimmerman due to their size differences in order for Martin to literally gain the upper hand for a "ground and pound". Also, if Zimmerman was the aggressor, wouldn't this idiot have pulled his gun first?

    Florida is full of rednecks and people like George.. I'm not impressed. George pursued Trayvon in the dark in the rain in his car and on foot. He wasn't "standing his ground"..

    Travon could have outrun fatboy George by twice his speed. Travon could have just run for home.

    I think that was part of the problem; once Martin got a good look at Zimmerman walking back under the lights, he thought he could take that "creepy ass-cracker".

    Just a week or so ago in Florida.. A man verbally assaulted a woman over parking.. Her boyfriend came out and pushed him down. He killed the boyfriend.

    How's that suit you? Castle doctrine is good law.. Stand your ground is bad law... for idiots like Zimmerman.

    Yeah he could have run home, but he didn't know whether or NOT George would follow him there.. There were no adults at home and Trayvon wasn't carrying a house key.

    Well that is simple, do not suddenly physically VIOLENTLY assault another older, weaker individual, and it is likely you will not get shot. That put all these violent thug bullies on notice, don't assault other people and you probably will not get shot. It is a no brainer. However, I assume then you think it is ok to assault a weaker individual, pound them to the ground? Looks like it from here.

    He could have outrun Zimmerman quickly and disappeared. Where did you hear the kid was locked out of the house??? Or is that a "fake news" fact.

    Nobody was home except the younger boy and Trayvon had no house key. Those are just the facts.

    I lived in a gated community and walked all hours of the day and night wearing a hoodie.. even in the rain.. Lots of teens Asians, Blacks, Whites.. mostly students.. They caught the city bus just out side the gates.. so they also walked in all kind of weather.. and lots of them wore hoodies.

    Because he's Latino, right?

    The Democratic Party is the party of violence. Has been from the start. Is to this day. War. Genocide. Slavery. Torture. Endlessly causing and demanding racial, ethnic and every other social division to the most murderous and violent degrees.

    Yes there is and it is easily found on the internet.

    Here I'll help you out with one.

    "He had a temper and he became a liability," the man said. "One time this woman was acting a little out of control. She was drunk. George lost his cool and totally overreacted," he said. "It was weird, because he was such a cool guy, but he got all nuts. He picked her up and threw her. It was pure rage. She twisted her ankle. Everyone was flipping out."

    Why is he expected to run? Why doesn't stand your ground pertain to him?

    Then, i guess, you don't use push people to the ground in florida I guess... The only idiot that I see here are those who don't even try to know the laws in their state and try to use violence to prove that they're the "man" to their retarded girlfriend. Don't like how it's done in florida? Then get out of florida!

    Martin did not seek anyone out. Obviously Zimmerman posed a threat to him or a potential threat. Martin was minding his own business between the store and his father's house. The encounter was initiated by Zimmerman who started the chain of events that led to that confrontation and led to Martin's death.
