Innocent teen shoot and killed;police do nothing

[diffangle]

I see people all the time who do things while smoking pot that put them in danger of death.

As well with cigarettes and alcohol.

Does Zimmerman have any arrests? Any brushes with the law? Any skeletons in his closet?

Guy has a propensity to use violence, huh?

Apparently. There's reports that his neighbors had made complaints about Zimmerman's aggressive tactics prior to the shooting.

[Fenris]

Well that'll show up at trial...

It will not show up at trial.
Unless Zimmerman tries to make his Character an element of his defense, the prosecution is not allowed to delve into his criminal past.
You are well aware that the character of the "victim" is fair game and it is going to come out that Martin is a gang banger.

Zimm called 911 over 40 times since the beginning of the year, one call was a suspicious 7 year old black kid... it would be interesting to know how many of those 40+ calls were suspicious black kids/men.

I'd heard that Zimmerman has black family members.

His best friend is black as well, but lets not be objective and interject facts into the discussion that do not fit the Sharpton/Jacson talking points.

I don't think race is a factor here. Zimmerman is just a violent person. And a police buff. And an idiot.

He has no influence on who his relatives marry.

If race isn't a factor then why did Zimm say "f-ing coons" on the 911 call?

[Jeanne D]

I don't think it's a race issue either, however Sharpton and Jackson (as Reynolds stated) are trying to make it one
It's a terrible shame that this young man lost his life, but the opportunists are trying to use this to their advantage and that really bugs me.

What arises suspicion in the eye of a good observer? Something out of the ordinary.
Is the neighborhood all white? All Hispanic? All white and Hispanic? It is not racist to say it is odd for this 95 year old white woman to be in the middle of the projects that are all black projects. I Stopped her and asked her what she was doing. She said "walking home." I asked her where she lived. She said "Alabama." I got her to get in the car with me and we rode up to the police dept. I was in the process of trying to figure out who she really was when we got a call from the Alzheimers home that a person fitting her description had walked off. Why did I stop her? Because it was extremely unusual for a 90+ year old white woman to be where she was. Just so you know, there are NO (not even 1) white people who live in the area of town she was in.
