OP gets hidden simply for reciting one of those facts. OP title read:
"f***** coons" or "f*****" punks? Controversy about George Zimmerman's words is put to rest today
Even the
prosecutor was quoting Zimmerman as saying "punks".
This is what the OP looks like now:

2. Stereotyping. It's why human memory is not a good standard
for conviction or acquittal. Too many innocent people get sent to prison (or worse) because the superficially resemble the real criminal.
It's still irrelevant. The only relevant item in this case is Zimmerman's disobedience of the police dispatcher. Once he exited that truck, he became a vigilante.
That's illegal, folks.
Anything Martin might have said or done in his defense is irrelevant. Anything Zimmerman claims to have felt as he approached Martin is irrelevant.
This trial is about vigilantism.

4. "Zimmerman's disobedience of the police dispatcher. Once he exited that truck, he became a vigilante
bad news, the dispatcher has just testified that they can not give orders to people, only suggestions or else they could be held liable if something happened as a result of their orders.
The dispatcher also testified that he could understand how Zimmerman might have misunderstood him.
Ouch. DUmbasses for months have been harping about the dispatcher "ordering Zimmerman not to follow Martin", even though the exact words were, "We don't need you to do that".

9. It still holds. Zimmerman was not a cop, he was a wannabe
and the second he exited that truck, he turned into an armed vigilante.
I don't care what that dispatcher has to say. Zimmerman was told to follow procedure and let the cops handle any problem.
You can tell the difference between left and right in this case. The left focuses on Martin's right to be where he was and to be alive today. The right focuses on Zimmerman's right to shoot an unarmed kid who sassed him.
No, you can tell the difference between the right and the left because the right still holds to the quaint old notion of considering evidence, while left kneejerks toward the "a white (Hispanic) killed a black so it has to be murder, now and forever, amen" school of thought.
Oh, and what is the obsession with the "iced tea and Skittles" meme regarding what Martin chose to snack on that night? DUmmies intone the words as if it's some kind of magic chant that confers automatic innocence and blessings on the subject. It's like Muslims repeating "peace be upon him" every time the name Muhammad is spoken.
"Well, I believe Trayvon (iced tea and Skittles) was murdered because it's obvious Zimmerman's racist tendencies came out as soon as he saw Trayvon (iced tea and Skittles). Trayvon (iced tea and Skittles) was just an innocent kid who wanted some iced tea and Skittles. Anyone who consumes iced tea and Skittles like Trayvon (iced tea and Skittles) did is obviously pure as the driven snow! Justice for Trayvon (iced tea and Skittles)!"
