**Official** Trayvon Martin thread

Any reasonable jury would find Zimmerman negligent for the 13 y/o death in such a scenario. Just because Zimmerman may have had pure motives does not excuse him from needlessly creating a dangerous situation. That's why you can get sued for a "rescue" that ends up paralyzing someone. I agree with you that Trayvon was stupid. He should have been packing.

Can you charge a minor who is dead with a felony ? LOL
 
Wow standing up.

Zimmerman did that, so did Travon, one won, one lost.

Get the riot gear ... It's gonna get rough.
 
"Once u been convicted of a crime & let out on bail u can't be charged 2x for the same thing so that means sum1 gonna have to kill Zimmerman" -Ms.Lovely.



hah...
 
Meh, considering the amount of emotion behind this I project that Zimmerman will be acquitted, not guilty, or granted a mistrial. Why? Becuase, given the frantic emotion behind this case it will likely cause riots. Extensive and expensive riots are a good excuse for suspending civil liberties and sending in the troops. The question is: Once the troops are sent in and the situation quelled... will they leave.

(troops meaning militarized cops aswell, although one might make the argument that they are already there... or here)

You mean the stranger stalking them right? That real creepy guy following them really slow in his car? If I had any kids I hope they would defend themselves when being attacked.
 
Sanford Police Chief to resign at midnight.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/apr/23/trayvon-martin-sanford-bill-lee?newsfeed=true

News of Lee's resignation came just hours after Zimmerman, who was charged with second-degree murder earlier this month, was released from jail on a $150,000 bond.

According to a press release from the city, the chief's resignation would take effect at midnight if commissioners, in a special meeting at 4pm, approve a separation agreement tendered by the chief.

"The city has experienced great turmoil in the past two months and we are hoping to stabilise the department and continue with this time of healing," City manager Norton Bonaparte said, in a statement.

Captain Darren Scott, who has been serving as acting police chief, will continue in that role while the city continues its search for a replacement, the release said.

If a 13 year old kid got shot because Trayvon Martin attacked an armed man, that would be on Trayvon Martin, not Zimmerman. Zimmerman risked his life trying to protect his neighborhood. Trayvon likely lost his while trying to prove how "thug" he was. In terms of relative stupidity, Trayvon has this thing one by a mile.

Shooting your neighbor's son does not equate to protecting your neighborhood.

"Real" neighborhood watch patrols don't allow their participants to carry guns, and they are never supposed to get out of their cars when patrolling in vehicles. If Zimmerman wanted to protect his neighborhood, he wouldn't have done things the way he did.

Yes, innocent until proven guilty BOTH WAYS. But of course, one of the witnesses, the teenager carrying nothing but Skittles and an Iced Tea, is dead.

Trayvon would be alive if Zimmerman wouldn't have disregarded the dispatchers advice to not follow.

THAT is a HUGE assumption. How do you know Zimmerman disregarded the advice fo the dispatchers? IN the recording of the 911 call after the dispatchers said "we don't need you to follow him" Zimmerman said "OK" implying at least by that that he was going to comply. There is NO evidence to the contrary that he did keep following Martin. ALL of it is based upon assumption.
What we do have is an eye witness on the scene where the event happened. It was right outside the guys window. He was on the phone with the police dispatcher when the altercation was happeneing and the gun shot went off. HE was in the process of describing Martin on top of Zimmerman smashing his head intot he sidewalk and Zimmerman crying out for help. The gash on the back of Zimmerman's head, the paramedic treatment for his wounds and the police report fo the wounds confirm Zimmerman's and the eye witness's story. There were no phsyical wounds to Martin (beside the gun shot wound) as the under taker who prepared his body confirmed.

Stay in your car and let the "professionals" handle it? Hate to break it to ya, but whatever crime you may believe was committed here, the "professionals" commit far worse atrocities with regularity.

Following a suspicious person is not stalking. It is most certainly not "attacking".

I would hope my kids would not attack an innocent person patrolling or otherwise peacefully moving about their neighborhood.

I just hope if you have a kid he's not out walking his dog while people like George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin are making the neighborhood unsafe for everyone.
