Zimmerman never referred to any specific race in all the interviews
I've
heard or read so far. I took the "those guys" term as referencing
the
group of people he claims have conducted burglaries and/or home
invasions in the area in the past.

The Rev. Al is capable of causing social unrest .... and *will*.


I heard that, too, and I assumed Zimmerman meant blacks by his "those
guys" comment. I still have not heard evidence as to why Zimmerman was
chasing down Martin. If Martin actually punched Zimmerman, perhaps
Martin was simply standing his ground after being stalked by a white
guy
brandishing a firearm, and Zimmerman said to himself, "Screw this,"
and
shot the kid.

------------------------------------------

One thing that came out today in the recorded police interviews is
that Zimmerman has a desire to be a cop.
He claims to have an Associate's in Criminal Justice and is pursuing a
Bachelor's degree in same.

I had a hunch that this is what contributed to his creation of the
"Crime Watch" thing. It may also point to an underlying desire to
involve himself in events or possibly *imagine* events to be more than
what they are. I am not sure it's a racial thing. If he has a
vigilante mentality, it would likely apply to everyone he suspects as
being a "bad guy". With that in mind, I am not so sure the jury will
acquit. Tough call.
