Why was Zimmerman outside of his car? livetohike Apr 2012 #6

Based on the 911 call, it seems likely he followed him because he thought he might be a burglar. Vattel Apr 2012 #16

Zimmerman thinks he's guilty. randome Apr 2012 #7

But, there is definitely enough for an arrest... lame54 Apr 2012 #8

I agree. Vattel Apr 2012 #12

I think Zimmerman initiated the confrontation and tried to detain Trayvon.Which makes him the.... Logical Apr 2012 #10

Why do you think that he tried to detain Martin? Are you guessing? Vattel Apr 2012 #13

Because Zimmerman, based on past things he has done, seems like a.... Logical Apr 2012 #15

That's a pretty thin basis for your conclusion. Vattel Apr 2012 #17

this type of shit reminds me of wingnuts saying about evolution and other things JI7 Apr 2012 #30

How do you know his nose was not broken? Vattel Apr 2012 #39

lack of medical records and the video shortly after the shooting JI7 Apr 2012 #44

I'm honored to have disturbed you from your constant and supercilious usage of "Sir" MNBrewer Apr 2012 #102

the only 'lynching' that actually has gone on, was perpetrated against an innocent kid. got root Apr 2012 #64
