Uhh.. Zimmerman also had violent crimes in his past, as well as being sent to anger management for assault of a police officer. Plz do homework b4 racism.

Also, Zimmerman never identified himself as a "neighborhood watch captain." He just approached Martin (who was walking in his own neighborhood), began verbally harassing him, more than likely flashed his gun at Martin who reacted the way that he did.

Please, everyone trying to character assassinate Martin, put yourself in this situation: You're a black youth, approached by a large white guy who's calling at you, not identifying himself in any way whatsoever, you see his gun or he tries to grab you, and you defend yourself.

In this whole situation, Martin was defending himself so much more than Zimmerman was acting in self-defense. Zimmerman was reacting to the self-defense that Martin was enacting. Simply not lawful.

List the violent crimes and do your home work on a 17 year old kid with counts of burglary and theft and assaults. Given the age of Zimmerman 28 now more mature. Given his position and hell even employment. I can profoundly say his rational thought would be more creditable than a 17 year old future convict with no employment. Or any signs of aspirations of than crime and smoking. Think about it here Zimmerman is employed with wife etc. Signs of responsibility. He may had issues in his past , but has time to reconcile them and grow the fuck up. This kid had NONE> Who is to say this kid would've turned out great. Quite frankly your looking at a relevant facts , versus past history. This kids had these crimes recently... So recent you can even put it in comparison to Zimmerman. Get out of town with your care bear logic of self defense. I'm sure this punk ass kid claims self defense every time he stole and started a fight. This is only counting the ones on his own personal record. Lord only knows how much else this kid got into. Kids getting shot is a terrible thing. However, actions and recent and relevant facts show the character of the individual. Show me one positive thing this kid was doing at his age other than going to the store for his mom. I guarantee you the crime will out weight anything of sheer thought of responsibility or rational thinking. This kid was lost , unfortunately was found and called in for the idiot lost boy he was.
