It's a tragedy that a young man died but GZ was victim of an assault. Anyone in GZ shoe at that moment would have some same to survive. We have let the justice do it’s job and it found GZ not guilty. It’s time to move on.

What’s really sad is the status of race relations in this country. I felt that our race relations had improved greatly in the 1970’s-1990’s but since the new century it seems to have gotten worse and continuing to go down. I had hoped that by now we would be able to look beyond the color of people’s skin but evidently we are still stuck on the color thing.

I know you must have fell down and hit your head real hard. #1 the cops never told him not to follow him. #2 TM should have kept walking and went home instead of coming back and and putting his hands on anybody. #3 have been in plenty of fights, now to old and crippled up for that crap and there is no such thing as a fair fight you fight to win so if you come to a gun fight wanting to fist fight. #4 any strange person walking around my place I will ask them who they are and what there doing. and if they want to attack me over it they will get the same thing TM did. #5 its my right to protect myself by any means. #6 this is the Gunshine state and before you go attacking people you need to remember that there is over 1 million people in Fla with cwp. #7 Please go to the nearest hospital and get your head injury taken care of

imo it's a he said vs he said but ones now dead and the real truth died with him. plenty of blame to go around for both TM and GZ. George was a cop wannabe, maybe not. Travon WAS a Gangsta wannabe, if not an actual one & a drug dealer and thug. he was definitely no Angel. he had plenty of time to walk or run home if he was scared by the "white azz cracker. GM should been careful what he said, did he not know the 911 call was being recorded? really. he should have listened to the dispatcher and not gotten out of the car. when it escalated to getting his head pounded on the sidewalk he had no other options. was he supposed to let this continue and "take it like a man" and hope the next blow didn't kill or maim him and think TM would stop when he passed out? the only thing GM did right was survive. a few things don't make sense to me but I doubt they really matter or will ever be proven. if GM did have mma training or not, how many of us have ever been in a fight, win or lose where both didn't have some marks on them. if GM was following a suspicious character in the dark and had a gun why wasn't it in his hand (even if just at his side) I know mine would have been. also if GM was in full blown flight or fight mode with adrenalin rushing why only one shot? it just doesn't make sense, a normal reaction to me would be to empty the mag. as for riots and violence, I wouldn't give the all clear just yet. hatred is smoldering just waiting for a spark.

Before you tell a bunch of people they lack in common sense. Please provide a link to evidence where GZ followed TM. That's just a common knee jerk reaction from people that didn't follow the case. Had you followed, you would know TM was already home and doubled back to confront GZ. And don't know if you saw the 7-11 video of TM buying his purple drank ingredients, but he was a big dude, not a little kid like the media made him out to be.
I have been in enough fights in my life. I have beat the shart out of folks and had my azz whipped too. I can tell you right now if I was in GZ shoes and had someone sucker punch me in the dark, and pound my head in the concrete, whether he is black, white, purple, or high yellow, I am putting a 357 in him

The forensic pathologist said the autopsy was screwed up. They should have cut the skin on his fingers to look for bruising.


. if GM was following a suspicious character in the dark and had a gun why wasn't it in his hand (even if just at his side) I know mine would have been.
You never pull your gun until you are ready to use it. Had he been walking around with it unholstered that could be constituted as murder 1

also if GM was in full blown flight or fight mode with adrenalin rushing why only one shot? it just doesn't make sense, a normal reaction to me would be to empty the mag.
He said he shot once and TM sat up and clutched his chest, and mumbled "you got me". Plus he was shooting a kel tec. it would have probably jammed :clap

as for riots and violence, I wouldn't give the all clear just yet. hatred is smoldering just waiting for a spark
There are small riots all over the place and crimes against whites in retaliation to this trial. Funny, this trial was never about race until the knot heads in Washington made it so. Plus there is a 100 city march this Saturday headed up by the good reverend AL

its true that Zimmerman probably profiled Martin as a thug, however martin proved him right by coming back and attacking Zimmerman. so where's the real wrong here?

now many know how we felt when OJ walked. not so funny when the shoe is on the other foot. I do sympathize for the people of Sanford, many will now have to find a new weed dealer. Travons "LEGACY" what a joke.

Alot of people still talking about the shoulda woulda coulda....its over...but now the bigger and more important picture for us is the fact that our self proclaimed black president and his cronies dont want to let it be. Why? Is this to continue the race card or the gun restrictions or both? The worse part is Zimmerman is not even a caucasian.WTF? Again why? Seems there is more than the eye can see. It is my belief that it is to continue that divide and cause strife,and its working look at the small pockets of rioting that are going on now and continue to grow. We should know by now that blacks dont forget easily.

what would you do in zimmermans shoes,not profile a blackman in a hoodie as a theart ,right,watch the news and wake up ,who does most of the robbing ,shootings,and other assorted crimes,not to say white people dont do it too,but it is a fact of life that a certain race does commit more crimes!

Are you for real?

Come in our neighborhood after dark and start lerking around; be prepared to see what happens. Go ahead confront one of us, I can assure you it won't take a broken nose, wrestling around on the ground, bashing heads or any physical contact before you get double tapped in the chest. Not sure what world you live in...

In response to your answer to #4 "Walking isn't illegal", you are correct, and asking a punk WTF are you doing in my neighborhood after dark isn't either. It is crystal clear he (Zimmerman) felt his life was in danger and he defended himself while in a physical confrontation.

I have yelled at a few punks after dark in our neighborhood, and you know what, not one of them DECIDED to respond or make physical contact with me. Come on through our neighborhood looking for a fight and I will assure you a trip to the coronors office if you wanna be billy bad azz.

Wake up!
