The Zimmerman police call said Martin was walking slow and looking
INTO cars.

So you automatically believe everything Zimmerman says, regardless of
the audio of the phone call he was on to his girlfriend? Figures.

We only have 2 statements from what the girlfriend said, starting with
MARTIN initiating the confrontation and Zimmerman answering, then the
phone went dead.

We also have an indication that he stole things before. He was found
with a bag of womens jewelry and a burglary tool in school.

Was he charged with anything? Is this just hearsay? The "burglary tool"
in question was a screwdriver. It's a rough neighborhood where he went
to school, it could have been to defend himself. Funny thing, his
parents never heard about the alleged jewelry and "burglary tool"
screwdriver, just the graffiti.

The cops were still investigating when Martin was shot but cops do not
really investigate burglaries. That is why 99% are unsolved.

... and are you saying Martin brought a WEAPON into the school? That
is a felony right there.

So he should have been killed?

Never heard or just aren't saying?

"Never heard". He was never charged and the school has "zero tolerance"
rules. So......

Oh and the pot, another felony. (any drugs within 1000' of a school,
zero tolerance, no lower limit)
This kid was dodging bullets, being a small time thug until he ran
into a bullet he couldn't dodge.
With the path he was on he was going to die face down in a pool of
blood, or go to jail. It was just a question of when

So, Zimmerman was all right in killing him? The school has a zero
tolerance policy and he was never charged, therefore I doubt there is
anything to these FOX allegations.

If this case gets to the point where they can rebut some statement
about what an angel Martin was I bet a lot more will come out about
his past. The defense certainly will have the chance to show any other
violence in Martin's past to reinforce the idea that he attacked
Zimmerman.

No marks on him, nothing.

No marks on Martin? The police report says Zimmerman was injured
(bleeding from the nose and back of the head)

Did you not see the video? And if anyone, even a criminal is injured,
it's standard procedure that they are taken to a hospital to get medical
care.

I also don't buy this "child" thing.
After all Martin was less than a year away from being able to "join
the army, burn women, kids, houses and villages" (as Arlo would say)

And this has what to do with the case? Age has no meaning here.

It certainly makes the "child" thing less relevant. He was almost a
head taller than Zimmerman and at night, could have been pretty
fearsome. Particularly sitting on him banging his head on the ground.
That is the legal test, "fear"

Well, then that settles it. A man can pursue a person, regardless of
whether the cops tell him that's not a good idea or not, then when that
person, in fear tries to walk away (fast, as the phone conversation
went) and that man can kill the other guy. Got it.
