The 911 operator tells him not to follow Martin...he does anyway. He shoots and kills the unarmed man he follows against the advice of the 911 operator. Isn't the ballgame all over after that? Are you guys that blinded by race that you just don't wanna see that one simple fact?

If a black guy did this to a white guy I have a feeling many of you would be singing a difft tune.

A reasonable sane person would wait until they hear all the facts before they say some one is guilty of anything. What you posted is not all the facts. No one knows all the facts yet.

Im sorta sane, not sure about reasonable. I have no idea if he is guilty. I dont know all the facts and doubt if we ever will. Although defying a 911 dispatcher is a dumb move, i dont think that or following someone is crime. Comes down to was it self defense or not? We dont know.

I think Martin may have assaulted Zimmerman cause Martin thought Zimmerman was a white dude! If true, this not be good at all!

I don't think he should get murder 2 but at least a manslaughter conviction and spend couple years in jail.

You just can't stalk people like that and then shoot an unarmed person when they react. Following someone in a vehicle and then leaving that vehicle to pursue them is an act of aggression and Trayvon had just as much of a right to self defense as Zimmerman says he did. But one had a gun and the other just manned up.

He could be guilty, but I personally don't know all the facts and I would think nobody here does either. If he had reasonable cause that Martin was a threat, who cares what the operator says? There was a case here in North GA about 6 years ago that a man was shot be someone in his front yard. He called 911 and told the operator someone was on his property and he was going to shoot him if he didn't leave. The operator told him that the call was dispatched and help was on the way. That guy on the property ending up storming the older man and killing him. The family tried to sue the sheriff dept for negligence. I assume they settled because there was not much more on it. Maybe because this went down in the foothills and is really rural. Point being though, the guy felt threatened and followed the advice of the operator which just is told to follow protocol. Not saying this is what went down in the Martin case, but how someone could cast blame without knowing facts is what is insane!

I have no opinion on the innocence or guilt of Zimmerman. But I do know Sharpton and Obama are race baiting losers, who need racial divide to prop themselves up

furthermore, what would the OP know about reasonable and sane people?

Once he was charged this becomes a lame issue. It is now up to our judicial system for which Vtard is evidentally showing desrespect, much in the tradition to the way Obama verbally attempted to usurp the SCOTUS. If we were all libs we could save a shit load on trials, who would need them. Time to move on Vtard. How about the remarks made about Ann Romney by your fellow lib. You can't make an apology once you have shot and killed someone but even decent upstanding female Republican are fair game for sharp shooting Dem political advisors. How do you apoligize when you meant every word you said. If you haven't noticed the shadow Obama casts is shrinking daily and we are daylight savings time.

He will get something, or it will be Rodney King II. Then, there will be hell to pay. Zimmerman could ask for a speedy trial, but probably won't. If he does, and is acquitted, it will be a very long summer in the inner-cities of the US.

Vit, you have the facts wrong. I'm not saying intentionally but you have something very important wrong. The dispatcher did not tell Zimmerman "not to follow Martin". When Zimmerman told the dispatcher that he was following Martin, the dispatcher said "we don't need you to do that". So to say that was an order from the police is wrong and inaccurate. The next question that comes to my mind is if that dispatcher was even authorized to tell Zimmerman to retreat from his pursuit.

The next point I would like to make is one that has been overlooked at best and twisted into something bad at worst. Zimmerman was providing a community service. He was putting himself in harm's way as soon as he signed up for that job, whether it was paid or volunteer. He wasn't pursuing Martin to rob him or injure him. He was following him because that was his job. He was looking out for the greater good of his community. If he was a cop and this happened you can be sure that the community would do all it could to protect the cop. In my mind they should give Zimmerman like benefit of the doubt. And I don't care about anyone's color or origin. The guy was doing the same job he did for his community for nine years if what I read was accurate. Why were there no previous incidents like this? I'll let you ponder that answer.

Ummmm zit....I'm not sure what alan dershowitz has to do with anything. I don't think he is reasonable or very sane. Then again...I never have any idea what you're talking about.

I love this "get all the facts" talk. Once you have certain facts I think it's easy to draw your own conclusions. I didn't have have every fact in the OJ Simpson case but didn't have a problem coming to the conclusion he is a murderer...regardless of the verdict....im pretty sure that dershowitz was an Oj is innocent guy....you still think he is sane zit?

Sometimes just use common sense.

Dershowitz was an adviser to the defense team in the OJ case, are you really that fucking stupid?

OMG.

He was the mouthpiece on fox news every night spewing nonsense about Oj being innocent. He was hired by the defense to do just that...what kind of person does that make him! Just another weasel attorney. So certainly his opinion on this matter means nothing. I'm sure somebody is paying him for it.



because he is an attorney that makes him reasonable and sane? You must not know many attorney's.

It's a damn shame that OJ walked. I thought the prosecution team led by Johnny Cochrane had a hell of a lot of evidence. Robert Shapiro and Kardashian together with Cochrane had OJ nailed. It's too bad OJ hired Marcia Clark and Chris Darden, they are the best defense team money can buy. Darden wowed the jury, blatantly bringing race into equation...leading to the acquittal. Like Darden said "if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit".

The trial according to Vit

Actually Fox news didn't exist until 1996, about a year after OJ was acquitted. Are you thinking of Roger Cosack, a legal analyst on CNN?

My God, this has to be an act......the trial of the century, and he screws it up

He was hired as the mouthpiece. Guy is a pretty disgusting human being all the way around. He would sell his mother for a dollar.

His opinion on this case means nothing. His opinion goes to the highest bidder....so zits argument citing him just doesn't mean a thing.
