i for one say the dude has issues and is probably guilty of murder, and im sure a court will decide this? already i have seen things on the web about racism and a civil war coming etc etc,
we know he was told to back off, we do know he had called cops like 40 times in just a few weeks so was way overzealous of his neighborhood watch b.s. and an innocent kid is gone!
It is my sincere belief that the problem is that there are people who have no faith that the case has been or will be prosecuted on the basis of the facts. Yep, many of those people are Black people; but, they're certainly not alone, especially in this case. The first people to speak out against Zimmerman were the (White) neighbors who were witnesses. I don't think that this case is one, like OJ, where there will be racial "sides" taken. But, the fact that Zimmerman wasn't arrested at first almost guaranteed that the Black community would see "racism" at work. Nope, not Zimmerman's, it was the police department that accepted his story that illustrates "racism." Like I said, if Z had been arrested, it would have been only about him.
was the case dropped and closed or did they just didnt have enough to arrest him "yet", and they were still investigating and gathering witnesses and testimony?
i havent seen the coverage lately so maybe this was covered but heres my question--
if the victim was white do you think the sheriff would have acted different and the guy would have been arrested? or is it possible the shooter had some sort of relationship with police based on his neighborhood watch activity that maybe favoritism is present but not racism?
Beegs ... It's ok ... It's a free country... And we keep moving forward... Don't be afraid we'll get there.
everytime i got stopped in flatbush in ny after midnight was because i was white, i guess all the cops were racist? When they ask me whats a white person doing here other than scoring drugs i guess those white cops are racist against me? im not so quick to call people a racist. The guy here wasnt a cop but im just not quick to jump to "racism" as the cause, especially since he called cops over 40 times in last few weeks, if all those people he called on were a certain"race" then yes we got something, if not, maybe racism is not the issue and a pyschotic paranoid dude with a gun was the problem
If you wonder why people don't take you seriously, weeks from now what all this blows over to this thread in mind.
i dont wonder anything about people here lol, but if im wrong for not jumping to the conclusion someone is racist before knowing this is a fact, then what can i tell you, id rather gather info than lynch mob it.
I never said the guy wasnt wrong for what he did, and i hope justice is served. If he was a racist i hope it comes out and if he wasnt i hope that comes out as well.
heres latest articles i found oin the shooter
A woman accused the man who fatally shot Trayvon Martin of domestic violence, it emerged Wednesday, as a fuller picture of George Zimmerman began to take shape.
In 2005, a woman filed a petition for an injunction against Zimmerman, claiming that he came to her house and became violent when she told him to leave, the Orlando Sentinel reports. Zimmerman, 21 at the time, filed a petition of his own in response.
Just a month before that, the paper reports, Zimmerman was at a bar near the University of Central Florida when a friend was arrested on suspicion of serving minors. Zimmerman became profane and pushed a law enforcement agent who tried to escort him away. He was arrested after a short struggle. That arrest had been reported previously.
In both cases, injunctions have kept the cases' outcomes sealed.
Zimmerman, 28, was born in Virginia, aspired to be a law enforcement officer, and moved with his family to Florida about a decade ago. Though he appears not to have been an official member of the national Neighborhood Watch program, he was zealous -- perhaps over-zealous -- about patrolling his Sanford community, neighbors say.
"He once caught a thief and an arrest was made," Cynthia Wibker, secretary of the homeowners association in the gated community where Zimmerman lives, told the Miami Herald. "He helped solve a lot of crimes."
In 2007, Zimmerman married Shellie Nicole Dean, a licensed cosmetologist. The following year, he was pursued by a credit-card company for unpaid debts, court records show.
The city manager of Sanford, Fla., says George Zimmerman wasn't arrested despite his confession that he fatally shot Trayvon Martin because police were legally barred from doing so.
"Zimmerman provided a statement claiming he acted in self defense, which at the time was supported by physical evidence and testimony," Sanford City Manager Norton Bonaparte Jr. wrote in a letter released publicly Wednesday evening. "By Florida Statute, law enforcement was PROHIBITED from making an arrest based on the facts and circumstances they had at the time."
The Sanford Police Department has received widespread criticism for its handling of the investigation. Among other issues, it didn't conduct a drug or alcohol test on Zimmerman, although that's standard practice in homicide probes, and a witness has said a police officer "corrected" her claim that she heard Martin yelling for help.
The letter goes on to address several other issues related to the case. Bonaparte writes that Zimmerman's failure to obey a 911 dispatcher's request that he not follow Martin can be taken into account in the ongoing investigation, but adds that the request "is not a lawful order that Mr. Zimmerman would be required to follow."
Bonaparte appears to be saying that disobeying the order wasn't in itself a violation of law.
Bonaparte also addresses a claim made by Martin's father, Tracey Martin: that a law enforcement official told Tracey Martin that Zimmerman wasn't initially arrested because he had a squeaky clean image (in fact, Zimmerman had been charged in connection with assaulting a cop, though the charge was dropped).
Bonaparte writes that the official was merely telling the elder Martin how Zimmerman had portrayed himself. "We believe Mr. Martin may have misconstrued this information," he adds.
Either way he should be locked up so our streets are safer. I don't see calling 9-11 a hundred times as anything heroic. In fact if anything he was probably tying up the line from real emergency calls getting through.
