no doubt that if TM was white and GZ black a lot of you would be singing a different tune.

I disagree, it would have not made it past the local news. Racism only runs one way, don't you know that?

Who cares. The truth is clouded so much by opinion that we will never know what actually happened. I think that GZ should not have got out of his vehicle. I bet he wishes he had not as well. Pulling the trigger is the absolute last resort period. It can and will cost you everything you have even your life.

You mean Rodney King trial.

No, I mean OJ. Found not gulity because otherwise LA would have been burned to the ground.

Lol, man you're crazy as hell! This man was told not to give chase, and he did. He got his a$$ whooped, and played the punk card (He pulled his gun and shot an unarmed man). Here is the transcript. It is in black and white.

Here is the actual recording where you can hear GZ get out of his car or truck and give chase!

...and as soon as the operator said "We don't need you to do that." George said "OK" and you can hear the wind noise stop. If you listen to the next sequence of Q&A, George is obviously not running or even walking fast as his voice and breathing are steady.

911 dispatcher:
Are you following him? [2:24]
Zimmerman:
Yeah. [2:25]
911 dispatcher:
OK.
We don’t need you to do that. [2:26]
Zimmerman:
OK. [2:28]
911 dispatcher:
Alright, sir, what is your name? [2:34]
Zimmerman:
George. He ran.
911 dispatcher:
Alright, George, what’s your last name?

He tried to find out where TM was going. If you look at the drawings of the complex, where the truck was, where TM was first spotted, the direction he started running and where the altercation took place, it's OBVIOUS TM circled back to where GZ was.

Besides, GZ did absolutely nothing illegal up until the shot was fired. Ill advised? Maybe.

The question is simply: Did GZ shoot and kill TM because he believed his life was in imminent danger? Personally, if my head was being pounded into concrete, I would probably assume my life was in imminent danger... but apparently, that's just me.

Why? I'm half Puerto Rican and half Russian. I hate all you capitalist dicks!

So you shoot somebody because you started a fight after disobeying a police order and got your ass kicked. Sounds like a punk move to me.

The police cannot "ORDER" you to stay in the car. It would have been a good idea but he in NO WAY broke the LAW by getting out. It was stupid to get out but it was NOT illegal.

Where did I say it was illegal?
