(cheechee) and for this he will go to JAIL.

Grow up.... Zimmerman is the one who is guilty here. He started following Tayvon and Tayvon had no clue who it was so he began to run, then they got into an altercation. Tayvon was defending himself. If Zimmerman was "scared for his life" then why would he chase after who is allegedly scared of?!

Police investigated the shooting and found zimmerman to be at no fault. They said he was within his full legal rights to shoot.

Also, do you know for a fact that zimmerman chased the teen down? and if so, where did you get that information?

To me its just another typical case of some black that thinks they got wronged and they are gonna try to bring the whole damn country into it...never hear of this shit when its some black that attacks or kills a white do you?

nope...he was found at no fault after the police investigation

Well if you listen to the 911 calls you will get the information. LEave the whole race bit out of it.

Trayvon was talking to his girlfriend on the phone eating skittles and drinking tea. He told her he was being followed and she told him to run so he did. He was scared it was dark.

Zimmerman (with a loaded gun) called 911 and told them he was "looking about" "and appeared to be on drugs" and TOLD THEM HE WAS FOLLOWING TRAYVON. The 911 operator told him to no do that but he did it.

So what would you do if you were walking home one night and someone started following you, not saying who they were. It's all on the 911 calls but if you want to be another person to sweep it under the rug or play reverse racism go ahead.

AND he was not just "some black" Trayvon was a hero for saving his father's life at age 9. He was a good student and a typical 17 year old KID.

Police did a short investigation at the scene, witnesses have come forward and said the police have their testimonys WRONG. They did not even check his phone to find a contact, they tagged him as a JOhn Doe and placed him in the morgue.

They are going by only what Zimmerman said. They have learned new facts and have heard the 911 calls and still nothing has been done.

He just got his before he became a full fledged thug,One less the taxpayer will have to feed.

Those arent the facts I heard...I heard different facts that state that the teen hit him one time that knocked him to the ground, he then proceeded to climb on top of him and started beating him until he was bleeding...this story has also been collaborated by witnesses, and the police have investigated the matter and found zimmerman to be at no fault...and now thanks to the racist ass black panthers and Obama zimmerman has to be in Protective Custody because of all of it.

What needs to happen is the FBI needs to be going after the black panthers and Obama for enciting racism and anger in the american people.

I agree with the Black Panthers being in the full wrong and inciting racism hate, but Zimmerman persued Trayvon, BEFORE Trayvon took up for himself. All he knew was that there was a man following him with a gun on his belt. Zimmerman never identified himself, so Trayvon had no clue who was behind him.

Zimmerman has told different stories that do not collaborate with the 911 calls and witnesses are claiming the police did their statements WRONG.

I think the RACISM part comes from the police more so than anyone else. They found a young black man dead in a gated community and didn't even try to find out if he lived there (which his step mom and dad does). They didn't use his cell phone to try and find a contact, they just tagged him as a John Doe and put him in the morgue where he sat for threee days.

I think the outrage is that Zimmerman has not been arrested, which is the police's fault. I think it's rediculous that people are threatening his life, if they want something done they have to go out it the legal way. He deserves a trial with a jury of his peers.

I think it's rediculous to call names or say horrible things about a child whos life was taken.

Both you and Pissed Citizen are posting without knowledge. How does Pissed know that Martin was a "little thug"? How do you know who ran and why there was an altercation. Can't the two of you understand that the media is spinning this story. Until the case is presented to a grand jury we don't know what the facts actually are. You are both in Arkansas. How could you know what you claim? I'll ask both of you this question. IF THE SHOOTER HAD BEEN BLACK WOULD EITHER OF YOU KNOW OR CARE ABOUT THIS CASE? Teens are dying across the country every day and many of them are African Americans being killed by African Americans. Those kids deserve the grief and attention just as much as Mr. Martin. Why don't we care about these kids?

I don't just care about Trayvon, but it hits close to home. I'm a child advocate and see these things daily.. the thing I want to know is why no one cared enough to try to find out who he was instead of treating him like another "dead black kid who didn't belong there" I honestly believe if it were a white kid (in that gated community) that was found dead they would have went door to door looking for his parents. Trayvon was tagged and sent to a morgue for THREE DAYS before his parents were informed. They could have CHECK HIS CELL PHONE FOR A CONTACT!
There are EIGHT 911 calls that you can listen to and hear that Zimmerman was the one who persued Trayvon, anything after that would be self defense for Trayvon. How in the WORLD can you claim self defense when YOU are the one stalking someone at nighttime with a gun??

Lets all wait till the States Attorney finishes the Investigation. Besides that where were Jackson, Sharpton and the Black panthers over the St Patrick Day weekend in Chicago area where all the shootings took place and 10-14 people including a small girl was shot due to gang violence.?

Who cares about this shit anyway. Another wanna be gangsta dead. End of story!!!!!
