Trayvon Martin shooter makes first court appearance

[oldsailor35]

If somebody waved a gun at me , i would probably break his nose if i had half a chance, why would'nt he be pummelling Zimmerman. I would'nt mind guessing that Martin was also fearing for his life especially when he saw the gun.

[oldsailor35]

Its been said before, but i cannot help wondering what the police would have done if it was Zimmerman who was shot and killed and the black kid survived.

[oldsailor35]

Ulysses G........But another witness said that the big guy was on top and the black kid was underneath face down Also some are saying that the video shows no evidence of Zimmerman having facial injury when leaving the police station. But i have not seen this video.

Colin, the public outcry took so long because a racist decision was made i.e. the Black was killed and not the white guy so police were not interested until they were made to be .

I wonder how many of you guys in here on being followed (stalked) at night by a guy with a gun, would have just stood there and said shoot me ! Most would have been scared for their life and fought like <deleted>.

So you think that the Intense pressure applied by the Likes of Al Sharpton and Louis Farrakhan and Co was the reason he was charged then?,otherwise due to racism within the Police force no charge would have been forthcoming !!. if that was the case, a scenario like this would happen everytime a white committed a serious felony against a black which is hardly the case is it.

Any unarmed person who involves himself with physical contact with a guy with a gun, is a fool , the correct course of action to take is to "run like <deleted>" certainly not fight like it!.

They also said there were no injuries at all on that video, but they were just hard to see.

Geriatrickid...............Collins Dictionary......follow or approach stealthy ........pursue persistently and sometimes attack

( a person with whom one is obsessed) Zimmerman was told to back off, but he was obsessed with Martins intentions.

Sounds like a crazy idiot, i am the big gun in town type of a guy. Regardless of the outcome, in my books he is guilty of recklessly killing the kid.

The dispatcher only said "we do not need you to do that", in respect of following the deceased.

It remains to be seen where the confrontation occurred. It seems that Mr. Zimmerman had returned to his vehicle after he "lost" the deceased.If the altercation took place as the accused was returning to his vehicle then there is a different aspect of the story isn't there?

Teenagers do not think like that and there is a strong likelihood that the deceased did not see a firearm.

I have a feeling the deceased was probably thinking to himself, who is this fool and does he need a slap upside his head? It's how adolescent males often see things.

That will be the biggest problem for the jury. Because they will only ever have one side of the story.

If Martin saw the Gun and was fearing for his life why did he not vacate the scene Rapido instead of having physical contact ,and if Zimmerman wanted to gun him down why did'nt he immediately do so instead of fighting with him, it just does not add up!!.

Wouldn't the defense present one side of the story and the prosecution the other side?
