the dirt on Trayvon wassn't so good also but I'm sure there will be things in court that come out that will not be very good for T. or Z, my thought is just wait till we get the straight scoop from the ......media , :mrgreen:

He could be the worst kid ever. He was still unarmed, persued and then killed.

+1. Seems to me from everything I know that Trayvon's past makes no difference in this case, while Zimmerman's does.

absolutely.

and being black on a saturday night is no cause to be shot.

i think to get a conviction it is going to take a sympathetic jury to acknowledge and consider what you just said CTT.

i can't wait to see what comes out at trial. the more i learn about this zimmerman clown the more of a loose cannon he is in my eyes.

If he gets off it's because of stand your ground. How law makers didn't see this possibility is shameful. Maybe they did and didn't give a damn.

quote from pj.soul. +1. Seems to me from everything I know that Trayvon's past makes no difference in this case, while Zimmerman's does."

it's called a pattern and any wrong doing in his past is or could have led to actions (his dicissions) and his actions in his criminal activitys so really think about that one a little bit....jeffry dohmer was killed by another inmate for what he did(no biggie to me as I think he had it coming) point is dumb decissions in life can end in a bad way and that goes for both T and Z, people need to stop being so nieve thinking just because Trayvon was only 17 years old that he was innocent of any wrong doing and stop making judgement without all the facts...half the facts leed to half-assed judgments.

At the same time you're assuming he has some bad stuff in his past for some reason. A few twitter comments and some traces of weed are his known mistakes. What makes you think there is more?

On the other hand Zimmerman has a history of arrests, violence and racist comments. Why are you convinced these two aren't what they seem from what we know already?

nope...I'm saying what little bit we have heard on the news(fact or fiction) is not enough for any of us to make a fair judgment on either side, this story was a media circus right from the start so really how can we really know whats what with T or Z or even what the police report truely says.

The media had nothing to do with writing the police report. The media is actually to thank for making sure Zimmerman has his day in court.

every state attorneys office is against this law ... from the beginning to now ... the only reason its an issue is because of the media coverage ...

Racist, sick motherfuckers. I'm very hard to offend but that's just wrong in every way.
