It was Zimmerman's neighborhood; Martin was visiting his dad at his dad's girlfriend's house. This was Martin's 3rd suspension from school so it wasn't like he was this stellar kid on he way to greatness like he's being painted. No college could have gave him a scholarship with that kind of school trouble. The media keeps showing pics from when he was 11 and younger when he reality he was about to be 18.

He was not followed because of wearing a hoodie; per his girlfriend "He said this man was watching him, so he put his hoodie on. He said he lost the man."In other words, an over zealous media has fueled the hoodie issue. At most this is manslaughter but this case is in no way a solid murder case. When you live in a private, gated community you probably are suspicious of people you don't know walking around when its nearly dark and it's wet out.

And for he record, I did my research before posting my opinion. I'm not just conjecturing up ideas here. I'm a person that loves facts. I can't stand one-sided media. This is a terrible situation but it's a lopsided story playing in the media. Too bad because of the recent burglaries nobody had the balls to even look out the window to see what was going on.

And more for the record, the first time my son gets suspended, between the ass beating, the groundment, which will include the loss of ALL privileges including cell phones, visiting friends, and outings of any sort without parental supervision, if he is stupid enough to be suspended again I can ASSURE that there will NOT be a third!

This kid had a privilege life looking at some of his childhood pics (which again is the only pics we are seeing) but he chose repeated bad decisions which included vandalism.

Read the transcript from his girlfriend, when asked what he was doing, and he was NOT from the neighborhood, instead of just answering he questioned as to why he was be watched. We don't know the whole story but this story hasn't gotten ridiculous!

Murder for hire?!? This is crazy! Its like everyone has lost their mind. The entire "justice for Trayvon" camp seems to forgotten that Mr. Zimmerman is entitled, should he be charged, to a trial by jury. At this insane point, there is not an untainted jury pool in the world. Way to go! Its sad someone died but its even worse that We allowed someone to be tried and basically convicted in the media. Everyone can say what they want... I expect nobody will like this post but I am not ignorant, I'm not racist, I'm not liberal or conservative. But the media, the politicians, the NAACP... EVERYONE WHO HAS INTERVENED influentially on this case has prevented any so called justice ever taking place. Maybe somewhere someone will realize Mr. Zimmerman will never enjoy life again either. He can't just walk around freely without some other nut vigilantly attacking him. Without a trial, he will be in his own prison for the remainder of his life. Anyone who looks like him will be tormented. His family will be tormented. BTW, does anyone realize you can't get help by yelling for help?!? Maybe in school we should teach kids to yell fire. How many people listened and did nothing??? Just think if one person stepped outside maybe we wouldn't be hearing about this case. Why is everyone proactive after the fact? Why is never anyone's problem or responsibility until someone gets hurt? Anybody pissed off really want to make a difference, how about the next time you hear someone yell help or you see someone in trouble, step up!
