Well, don't bother finding it for me.

Wonderful. So I can start a bar fight and then shoot the other guy and claim I was afraid for my life.
If everything Zimmerman says is true, he is guilty of murder.
you mean cold blooded killer looking for a chance to kill someone and then try and get away with it. Someone should go up and shoot him in the face, they have a better self defense claim than he ever did.

Many of the 911 tapes have the witnesses making comments about "it's so dark, I can't see what's going on" or something to that effect. It happened around 7:15PM on Feb 26th. Daylight savings time started on March 11th, so, being a resident of Orlando, probably 20-30 miles away from the location this happened, I can tell you that it was probably quite dark at 7:15PM, especially considering it was rainy out as well.
A teenage boy 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.
And it's not common to see anyone walking a little after 7?
Edit: Looks like Spidey and Alkemyst have been procreating again.. The Zimmerman supporters are growing.
Who gives a shit what condition Zimmerman is in? He's a "self" appointed not registered neighborhood watch guy, just a shade above "busybody".
He's a nobody with no authority or even registered with Neighborhood watch.
How about a cliffs notes version of why Zimmerman is guilty of murder, please. Based on "everything Zimmerman says."
The police ARE fucking complicit, YOU need to grow up. Zimmerman basically has the sanford police in his back pocket:

In an interview this week with the Miami Herald, Police Chief Bill Lee said the 911 calls would prove the incident was not a case of racial profiling, because when asked whether the suspect was white or black, Zimmerman did not know. However the recording clearly shows that when asked, Zimmerman said, He looks black. And then a few moments later, Hes a black male.

But after the shooting, a source inside the police department told ABC News that a narcotics detective and not a homicide detective first approached Zimmerman. The detective pepppered Zimmerman with questions, the source said, rather than allow Zimmerman to tell his story. Questions can lead a witness, the source said.
...
Another officer corrected a witness after she told him that she heard the teen cry for help.
The officer told the witness, a long-time teacher, it was Zimmerman who cried for help, said the witness. ABC News has spoken to the teacher and she confirmed that the officer corrected her when she said she heard the teenager shout for help.
...
Lee publically admitted that officers accepted Zimmerman's word at the scene that he had no police record.
If I was a criminal casing a neighborhood, I wouldn't do it in broad daylight. I was mainly mentioning the fact that it was raining outside, and Trayvon had a hoodie on, which somewhat masked his identity; again, something a criminal would probably do. I'm just saying I can understand why Zimmerman, when taking into account all the facts of the situation he was in at that time, felt that Trayvon was worth keeping an eye on.
'Zimmerman said he had stepped out of his truck
...and fired the semiautomatic handgun'
Murder.
You believe Chief Bill Lee, the guy who has lied in the case? Amazing.
He didn't just keep an eye on him. He got out of his car and chased him through the neighborhood. Too bad Trayvon did not have a gun. I guess he could have shot Z fearing for his life. I doubt you would have been here defending his actions.
I explained how they weren't lies, didn't I?
Zimmerman pursued Trayvon after Trayvon took off running. I imagine Zimmerman felt that by running away, it made Trayvon look like he actually was up to no good, and trying to escape. I don't understand why Trayvon would just start running away when Zimmerman was just sitting in his truck? I can understand why this made Zimmerman even more certain that Trayvon was up to something.
Nope. He (Lee) said the kid's race wasn't mentioned in the 911 call. It WAS, that's called a lie.
I'd figure if he was beat and bloodied enough they would have been flaunting the photos immediately. What are they waiting for, for him to 'heal' so they can claim it was worse but has healed up?

I believe based on actual evidence and testimony no charges will ever filed against Mr Zimmerman. No civil rights violations will be found. No lawsuits will filed as the plaintiffs will not want to pay their legal fees but Mr Zimmerman's legal fees, court costs, and lost wages as well.
he said the tapes would prove that it was not a case of racial profiling and in that he was correct. Just acknowledging someone's race midway through the call doesn't make it profiling.
I imagine, like most police investigations, they will release those photos when the investigation is complete, and they deem it necessary for the public to see them (which they likely will in this case). That is also assuming there are such pictures, and let's hope there are.
no he didn't, link for that please, he claimed zimmerman didn't know the race of the subject, he did.
