Based on the fact you don't live there, have no interaction with it, and highly doubt you have any legal training or experience with the US legal system. Reading a couple articles online does not make you even remotely knowledgeable of it.

You know as much as I do: fuck all.

Let me correct myself a bit: You know fuck all about Florida's legal system.

The point is you're arguing about a case of which the facts are murky at best, the investigation was shoddy at best and the trial saturated with media hysteria, and claiming you actually know definitely whether or not Zimmerman is innocent.

Ah fuck it.

I live in the same state. Xant's facts are correct. Zimmerman was assaulted on his way back to his car, and Trayvon's cell phone logs are recorded as him stating he's going to get the guy following him.

Of course, no one's mentioned the 2 previous break ins that  neighborhood had. That's why all of this went down the way it did. Several robberies had happened already, thus the local watch was on a much higher alert for less than savory suspects. Zimmerman happened to see one and called police like he should.

But, like all punks/teenagers, Trayvon wasn't going to let some dude follow him and confronted Zimmerman. Fight results, Trayvon dies. Then the media and bullshit takes hold and it goes from simple court case to "CIVIL RIGHTS ABUSE! KILL THE KKK BASTARD!" For Example:

Quote
Between March 19 and 27, 2012, the NBC Nightly News, NBC's Today show, and NBC's network-owned Miami affiliate WTVJ[368] ran segments which misleadingly merged parts of Zimmerman's call

SO, yea. I'm embittered about the whole thing. I've watched all the news that you shits DON"T get cause it's local news and not covered by national media sources and what I saw there was far better coverage than that biased shit you get on national media. Trust me, that case was spun all the way to hell to make everyone believe he was guilty from the start and to try and influence whatever it could.

Oh and just a FYI: 12 BLACK WOMEN, found him innocent. Sure race shouldn't matter, but that shows that an IMPARTIAL decision was reached.

"Is Zimmerman really innocent?"

Dunno, but why should I care in the first place? Discussing some random topics can be entertaining from time to time, but this? Meh, I'm dissapointed.

PS Funny thing, article in wikipedia about this Zimmerman case is bigger than article about attack on Pear Harbor...  :wink:

Zimmerman seems like he's in full control of his emotions.

Yeah, but he just felt like immediately calling 911 to "clarify".

Escalation of force is still a thing, right? I'm not disagreeing with anything you said, but it still seems unreasonable to shoot anyone who's unarmed.

But seriously, this is pretty weird/freaky.  Zimmerman never struck me as the type to use a firearm inappropriately.
