How many people have actually considered that Zimmerman is not guilty?
I'll admit that I don't think he's guilty. As soon as I saw the pictures of Zimmerman's injuries, I thought he had a valid case for self defense. It's not like Trayvon Martin was a small kid, and he had no injuries besides the gunshot wound. Zimmerman certainly wasn't beating on Martin.
Why do so many people not care about the circumstances of what happened that night? As far as a lot of people are concerned, Zimmerman was tried and convicted before he was even arrested. It was like the Duke Lacrosse rape case all over again. Look how that turned out.
Zimmerman has been proven to be a douchebag wannabe cop. That doesn't make him a murderer.

1. "...no injuries besides the gunshot wound"
Which means, if Z was getting beaten up, he DID NOT EVEN TRY non lethal force as self defense. Think about that.
I believe it's called "the direct approach."

7. I don't think he is required to.
How much of an ass kicking was he required to take? What if Martin had beaten Zimmerman to death? Would that have been justified because Zimmerman was following him?

49. According to my logic...
someone who is being beaten is justified in using deadly force to defend himself. Incidentally, the law agrees with me.
You're the one who brought up race.

56. Just being beaten does not legally allow you to shoot someone.
To use deadly force a reasonable person must have the reasonable belief that he is in danger of death or great bodily harm.
Zimmerman needed a bandaid so I have trouble believing he reasonably needed to take a life.
Just how much does one have to get the hell beat out of them before there is reasonable concern of great bodily harm, and/or death? Depends. Obama's son wasn't a small guy.
On another note, Just Saying, even though I'm a smaller guy, I doubt it would take me very much to cause YOU great bodily harm. One of my "soup bones" (undertaker reference...look it up) to your jaw, and you'd have to get sugery. Ohhhh, it would feel so good to do it, too.

239. Because he's a wimp?
Just because he trained MMA-style (I don't even really know what that means), doesn't mean he actually knows how to fight when it gets real.
As you pointed out, Martin obviously got in some good shots on Zimmerman. Zimmerman apparently never got in a punch. That, to me, makes it seem that it was Martin who initiated physical contact.

250. Something tells me
you know an awful lot about wimps.
Do you think it's ok to shoot paper for giving paper cuts?
99% of you DUmmies (coincidence?) know about wimps. All you have to do is look in the mirror. And speaking of paper, it's shot all the time at ranges. They're called "targets," you moran.
