It doesn't matter as far as determining if a crime was or was not committed that night, but if Zimmerman's past is fair game in the press for attack then so is Martins. I just posted the article. I didn't post an editorial comment.
It very well might not be....I was trying to construct a scenario where it was. It's probable that scenario doesn't exist.![]()

i think we can all agree that zimmerman has prevented future criminal acts or at least eliminated the possibility of another unqualified black surgeon.
Concern for the privacy and reputation of the unarmed minor who got shot should be equal to that for the shooter, in your opinion?
So the press should only trash the reputation of the winner of the fight and not the loser?
they should trash that kid for bringing skittles to a gun fight.
I asked for your opinion.
The privacy of minor victims of gun play deserves some consideration, even if the victim dies. Trashing the kid who got shot is pretty pathetic.
If it's true that Zimmerman wanted to be a cop but failed at it and has called 911 like 46 times in the last few years, that's totally relevant to someone who was acting as a vigilante.
Putting Zimmerman on trial in the press without the facts is pretty pathetic too.
If anonymous police leaking to the press can be believed, Trayvon Martin won the fight. Then he got shot.So the press should only trash the reputation of the winner of the fight and not the loser?
yes, but you don't defend that
Go chew on someone else's ankle. You don't even know what you are trying to argue about.
Maybe this is just personal opinion, but that 911 call where Zimmerman continued to pursue Martin after being told not to is all the "facts" I need to see Zimmerman get sabotaged in the press for killing Martin.
If you were dealing in facts you would know that the dispatcher did NOT specifically tell Zimmerman not to follow Martin.
And for the record I think Zimmerman is a de able head.
While it may be relevant. If I were arguing the case for Zimmerman, I would argue that even if he was a race hating bigot, at the time he shot Martin, he was being being beaten and his life was in danger as evidenced by the broken nose and lacerations to the back of the head. But for shooting Martin, Zimmerman might have been beaten to death. And I have a witness who saw the beating. The prosecution has nothing but cir stantial evidence and public outrage. They want to focus on the past instead of the facts that not only my client has stated, but that have been supported by the only eye witness.
The outrage is over why Zimmerman has not been arrested. His personal background really isn't revelevant to the Florida Stand Your Ground Law, under the facts that have been reported by the local police investigation. IMHO, the personal background information on Zimmerman is to try to justify and incite public outrage. Usually this tactic is used by the prosecutor to garnish support at the local level and to increase outrage against an alleged criminal.
they should arrest the dispatcher now. lol
OK "Mr John Wayne". Not surprised at all that someone with that user le is defending the actions of a gun toting lunatic.
If there was ANY way the police or prosecutor thought they could make a case Zimmerman would already have been arrested. Apparently the facts as known by the Police simply don't support an arrest.
Actually, Kori gave me that user le years ago after meeting me in person and I have not changed it.
Fair points by both of you, but that's not the world we live in. We want as much information as possible, the media wants to give us what we're demanding.
Sure I do. You denounced the attempt to try Zimmerman in the press, while defending the unprincipled disclosure of Martin's school records as equal treatment.
He said "You don't have to do that." You're arguing semantics. It was obvious the dispatcher was suggesting he stop follow Martin.
Republicans sympathizing with Zimmerman
neighborhood watch hero
great in American hero
he might have been following Martin but it was self defense
