    Trayvon had a juvenile record which of course is sealed. One if the reasons he was at his Dad's girlfriend's apartment was because his mother was having such difficulty with him. But that didn't matter what matters is what he did that night. Obama should not have tried to prejudice the case and couch it as a matter of appearances and Martin as victim. I would really like him to explain how if it had beenbhis kid his kid would have committed the assault Martin committed.

    The actual reason was there was lack of evidence of a civil rights violation. There was lack of eveidemnse for a hate crime. Of I do not believe that there is such a thing as a hate crime.

    We can litigate the Zim - Martin crime forever but we will never agree.

    Zimmerman should have been charged and convicted of manslaughter.

    In truth I could go either way with Obama as a racist. On the other hand whether or not he is genuinely a racist I do think after examining what he said and did over the course of eight years that either he was one of the most clueless human beings ever to exist or he was deliberately trying to generate race riots in this nation.

    Sorry but self defense beats all the charges you can think of or in your case, invent.

    No more so than the stalking and assault you claimed he should have been charged with, a totally fallacious claim.

    They for some strange reason believe you have to allow someone to attack you and beat your head against a concrete sidewalk. But then those who defend Martin and attack Zimmerman show little understanding of the law or knowledge of the facts here.
    They still can't admit the only crime committed that night was by Martin.

    Well DUH because there was no violation. That tends to be when there is no evidence and in fact evidence to the contrary.

    DOJ officials said they would have had to have proven that Zimmerman approached Martin "in a threatening manner before the fatal shooting because of Martin's race."
    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/department-of-justice-no-civil-rights-charges-trayvon-martin-case/
    Zimmerman was not "stalking" Martin because if his race and it was Martin who approched Zimmerman and attacked him. It was Martin who according to the girl friend acted in part due to race. Had he lived not only would he have faced criminal charges for the assault but also hate crime charges.

    Trayvon barely knew his mother. He was raised mostly by a stepmother. When interviewed after the shooting, Trayvon's mother didn't even know what sport he played in high school.

    Actually, as proven, he killed a 6'0 male who physically attacked him. Your conspiracy theory doesn't fool anyone here...quite pathetic.

    Nothing supports that.

    There's a reason you don't even attempt to argue your position.

    I don't hold with scaring people into fighting and then killing them.

    There is no conspiracy theory. Zimmerman was on his way to Target when he decided to follow Travon. Zim fancied he was a profiler.. Weak and stupid is not a winning combination for life.

    Scaring? Haha!!! If Trayvon was scared he would have run home and Zimmerman wouldn’t have been able to catch him. And his girlfriend would have corroborated that “story”. But her testimony proved he wasn’t scared at all. And why would he be. He was bigger, faster and far stronger than the little pudgy white guy.

    Where do you get all this crap? Seriously? You still going by that cute little inaccurate photo the media was showing?

    Do you roam your neighborhood at night with a gun profiling kids in hoodies?

    You literally just posted a conspiracy.

    The facts show he was viciously attacked and defended himself from his 6'0 attacker.

    The judge rejected the "stalking" claim as he was observing and reporting to the Police.

    This was cited for you already with the video of the prosecution getting rejected.

    Nice try

    We already know everything. Much like the 2016 election, you just don't want to hear it.

    It's really pathetic.

    Considering there were guys robbing homes in his neighborhood you can profile whoever the **** you want. Completely legal to assume a guy who looks like he is casing homes is actually casing homes.

    And I’ve said previously, if I saw someone walking on my street who looked suspicious I’d call security to come and check the guy out. I don't give a **** if that person is offended. His feelings don’t matter to me. The safety of my neighborhood is more important. And we’ve had people/gangs down in Miami come up to our neighborhood to hit unlocked cars. It comes in waves. There was a rash of robberies. They hit a lot of upper class neighborhoods over a few month period. Everyone having video doorbells now and/or security cams has made things safer. But people still want to feel comfortable and keep doors unlocked, but scum always have to ruin a good thing.

    The Retreat at Twin Lakes is NOT the same as Twin lakes. There was very little crime in this blue collar neighborhood. Zimmerman was living out his fantasy.

    Trayvon was weak and stupid for ambushing a stranger in the dark. Now he is pushing up daisies.
