LOL, after reading the first sentance why bother? Or the last for thast matter.
Then your opinion on that post is irrelevant also as you didn't even bother to read it. But I guess that is expected.

Because the police lie most of the time and abuse power. They are there only for themselves, and will screw over anyone and say anything to get there way. Then since they are police they will get away with it. Yeah I am privy to being able to see the situation how it is, not how I want it to be, and not caring what stupid law they decided to pass to allow killing.
Ok, according to all of you, Z is a crazy person. Now tell me how he had been doing this neighborhood watch thing for at least a year, and had not assaulted or killed anyone before?
If he was the type to just approach any male black youths and shove them around or whatever, why were there no assaults reported by him before this?
98 must be the year you were born.

Show me anything that would lead you to believe Trayvon deserved to approached, chased, and questioned by a complete stranger?
Classy...
I think I have shown the thinking of most of you.
I am done here

To be honest I would not mind if someone was looking out for me and my apt, and if someone is walking around, head covered by a hoodie, and appears to be casing apts, I don't see why a neighborhood watch person should not be able to approach him and ask him if he lives there.
I understand that it was a misunderstanding, but it seems that Tray had the opportunity to explain himself and possibly chose another option.
No one has the right to play police officer and they are not one. A misunderstanding huh? Let someone blow away your family member and they have done nothing wrong, then lets see you casually call it a misunderstanding.
He said initially he thought he was black and then he confirmed he was black. He stalked that kid for several minutes.
But he who lives by the sword, hopefully will die by that same sword.
It was a dark, rainy night, so it was probably rather odd to see someone out walking about in the neighborhood. That's worthy of attention right there. There had been a number (I have no clue how many) of break-ins or attempted break-ins in the neighborhood in recent times, and I imagine that had Zimmerman on heightened alert, and more likely to find suspicion in someone that seemed to be randomly walking about, looking at houses, especially in such conditions.
Given those 2 facts combined, and probably a little racial bias on Zimmerman's part (I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case anyway), I could easily see why Zimmerman would want to investigate what exactly this kid was up to.
The misunderstanding (how I see it) is that Zimmerman likely felt Trayvon had something to do with the recent break-ins in the neighborhood, or felt that Trayvon was acting in a peculiar manner given the weather, and how he appeared to be looking at different houses (he may have been lost in the rain/dark).
Wow, so all I have to do is go out for a stroll on a drizzly night and I'm automatically assumed to be up to no good? Or is there a certain number of "break in's or attempted break in's" that have to occur before I should be wary of going for a walk?
Zimmerman lacked both the cause and authority to "investigate" anything. He was a neighborhood *watch*, not a neighborhood *investigate and question people I think are suspicious*.
It amazes me that some here are convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that Zimmerman casually murdered this kid AND that the police are complicit. There is evidence that Zimmerman acted irresponsibly; there is no evidence to support an assumption of intentional murder, nor of a police cover-up.
It also amazes me that some here are convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that Zimmerman did a completely justified and even good thing. A 17 year old kid harming no one had his life brutally snuffed out. Whether or not Zimmerman was legally or even morally justified in shooting him, Zimmerman also had the ability to make this not happen, period. This shooting was NOT a good thing. The absolute best it could be is a horrible thing.
People need to grow the fuck up. This is more than our own prejudices and biases.

Going out for a stroll on a drizzly night doesn't seem a little atypical to you?
Are you dismissing the fact that there were break-ins in the neighborhood, and that may have been why Zimmerman was in a state of heightened alert?
In the 911 tape, when Zimmerman said "these a**holes always get away", he's probably (in my opinion) referring to the fact that nobody had been caught (afaik) in connection with the break-ins.
I imagine this was frustrating to him, and perhaps why he became neighborhood watch captain to begin with, and felt he needed to do something about it.
From what I understand, this was a private, gated community, and there is nothing illegal about approaching someone and asking them a question on private property you partially own.

That is not why Zimmerman shot him, at least according to any of the evidence that you or I have available. There was a physical altercation, which left Zimmerman with injuries, and indicated Zimmerman was on his back at least at some point, and that is why Zimmerman shot him. Whether it was "wrong" or not isn't clear at this point, as it's not known (to us anyway) who initiated the physical altercation.

I definitely won't say that there are no bad cops, because I'm sure there are plenty of them, but I think your assertions border on paranoia, without likely reason. I hope you're just speaking emotionally and not expressing how you truly feel.
No, I think they've said it was a little after dusk so... Not that late at all.
