George Zimmerman sues Pete Buttigieg and Elizabeth Warren over tweets honouring Trayvon Martin

Well, you do live up to your user name.

What if this or that.

There is no evidence Martin was out of breath. He wouldn't have had the energy to jump Zimmerman and get him on the ground to pound his head.

Fear for one's life dumps adrenaline into your system. Basic biology.

You believe what you believe. I do not agree.

It is what it is. Karma will serve.

It always does.
 
What I said was that Obama's comments about Martin were as improper as Trump's remarks about any ongoing case, and that you can't have one set of rules for Obama and another for Trump.

Nobody in the days of the public lynchings could have ever invoked justification of self-defense.
Well that’s your opinion, not mine. And Zimmerman could evoke anything he wanted too since there were no witnesses. At least no live one
 
You have every right to believe him or not.

The forensics supported his story and the jury believed it as well.

That’s right, but character matters and justice is not always just

You're still wrong for many of the aforementioned reasons which you ignored. Additionally, let's be honest: Neither Zimmerman or Martin are rocket scientists. Both were dumbasses with below average IQs. Zimmerman could lie all he wanted but he wasn't smart enough to fabricate the evidence to hide a murder as you want to believe.

Martin’s body was in the police morgue for two days, Zimmerman’s dad is a retired judge with connections. Yes Zimmerman is a dumb ass as his trail of activities before and after the murder shows. You have nothing on Martin. No police record. He smoked pot like millions of 17 year old kids do and he got in trouble in school like millions of 17 year olds do. He was just a kid. To put him on the same level as a grown man is a convenient way to criticize him.
 
With a history of violence and numerous encounters with the law. Furthermore he was not an accredited member of the local Neighbourhood Watch, but had set himself up as a wannabe cop/vigilante.

...and Trayvon Martin was a little racist thug-in-the making. But neither mattered in this cas.

Was he? "In the making". A kid with no criminal record but you have this crystal ball that can predict the future. Can I borrow it for next week's lottery numbers?

Well he had no strong father figure-always a bad sign for young . black men


He was already into breaking homes.In high school.

"In October, 2011, Martin was caught on a school surveillance video defacing lockers with obscenities using a magic marker pen. The police investigator said Martin was “hiding and being suspicious.” When the officer confronted Martin the next day he found Martin’s backpack contained some women’s jewelry — a watch, some silver wedding bands and diamond-encrusted earrings. Martin told the officer, “They’re not mine. A friend gave it to me.” Continuing his search, the officer found a large flat-headed screwdriver which the officer described as a burglar’s tool. The jewelry was turned over to the police and Martin was suspended for defacing school property."

....and a tendency toward violence.

"In a highly redacted 10-page listing of his phone texts, Martin revealed a life of a marijuana smoker (one of his friends called him a “weed head”), and schoolyard bully who had been involved in at least three fistfights and threatened more in order to “get even,” and had shown an interest in obtaining a gun from another friend: “U wanna share a .380?” asked Martin at one point."



Trayvon Martin Was No Innocent

He was seeking a gun....BAD sign

He was suspended from school for drugs, truancy and drugs.

Look ,I know pandering white liberals like you will go to any lengths to not EVER say anything bad about a black person, but sometimes you have to face reality.
HE was going down a path that far too many black teens go.

He had not broken into anything. He had broken no laws and was never charged with anything-but you want to paint a kid who scrawled a little graffiti as a thug? Pathetic.

Yea sure ,those items were 'a friend's'. And he carried that large flat head screwdiver in his book bah, because ,,,,well don't all high school boys?

Give me a break.

No, I won't give you a break. I carry a Swiss army knife with a multitude of 'burglary' tools. If those items he had were not legit you might have a point. The police evidently decided they were. Anything else you want to add?
 
N If those items he had were not legit d?


Of couuuuuuuuuuuurse. What HS *doesn't* have these in his backpack?
watch, some silver wedding bands and diamond-encrusted earrings

You're in in over you pandering head. Give it up

Why was he not charged with a crime if you're so convinced her was up to no good? Answer me that; if your answer is 'because there was no evidence of a crime having been committed', you get today's Gold Star. There's an old saying, 'assumption is the mother of all ****ups'.
 
YEs. Blacks commit way more crime proportionally. Especially violent crimes. Everybody knows that.

Would you mind telling us why it's 'racist' to point that out?

Either you can't read charts or you deny what you read. or you just like LYING!!!

Geez !!! why embarass yourself in such a way, the FBI certainly knows more than you!

Black Crime among young black men is an atrocity... it disgraces the hard work of many black Americans and insults the 100's of years of struggles of black people to build better society and more equality within society... Black people don't deny the crime of the young men who create crimes. Black people address it in their communities and will find a way to contain it, as they work with police and community leaders to call it out exactly for the vile nature of crime that it is.

White Crime is an atrocity, and no volume of white denial can make that vanish.... the hard work of many white people should too, bring many to feel just as disgraced by such high volumes of crimes, especially after 100's of years of being a race violent and general violence leader in the nation its time white people address it without trying to sanitize it away with denial.

Doesn’t matter. You can’t legally punch someone for following you and asking questions. And if you climb on top and bash their head in to the pavement you might just get justifiably shot.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Not many 17 year olds assault someone for asking them questions, then jump on top to keep going.

17 year olds are grown men. More than capable of reasoning, and more than capable of killing someone.

In some contexts maybe some slack is warranted. Not when it comes to deadly force.

Well, that would surely depend on the question and how it was framed. That, we will never know and, frankly, knowing Zimmerman for the serial thug he is, I have little confidence in the veracity of anything he says.
 
Why was he not charged with a crimeps'.

Because that wasn't sufficient evidence to make a criminal charge.
But you have to have pander blinders on to not figure it out

Yeah I said that.

Well there you go. You need evidence to convict. No evidence, no conviction. Just like Trump/Russia, right?

Not that simple. They had plenty of evidence.
But it would have taken a WHOLE lot of effort to figure out where those items came from and find direct evidence that placed him at those houses.
Not worth it.
Cops make those judgments all the time.

Normal people know this.

But hs seniors don't have stuff like that in their backpacks.

Normal people know this too.

Ha! Yeah, right. There was no evidence, hence no conviction. And no, a simple police knock on someone's door asking, 'are these items yours?' isn't exactly going to take a "WHOLE lot of effort". Quit grabbing at straws.
