how could the school forward pics of the jewelry to the police yet not inform the parents of the results of the bag search?
is that part even true?

anyways.

or maybe the parents are sharing what THEY want you to know.....

And the media continues to manipulate...

I'm not naive so I never assumed he was a model citizen/student. I also knew that the pic of him that's mostly shown is not a current one. Nor did I think Zimmerman's mugshot pic was current since he wouldn't have a mugshot pic, not being arrested in here.

However, petty teenage misbehavior is not enough to paint Martin as a dangerous criminal. Since the beginning, the story from witnesses is that there was a struggle. I don't doubt that Martin struck and fought against Zimmerman, but what was he to do? What's most important is what lead to the struggle. All signs point to Zimmerman causing the situation and that's a huge part of the case.

Even if burglary was Martin's favorite hobby, Zimmerman didn't know that so it's irrelevant.

All simply attempting to distract people from looking at the facts of the case. I really can't be bothered with all of the nonsense surrounding this case.

You missed the bigger implication of what this article is saying. "Burglary tools," "looking suspiscious," "the report, which described silver wedding bands and earrings with diamonds." They are basically implying that the young man could in fact be a burglar/thief and could very well have been acting as Zimmerman described. A screwdriver can also be used as a weapon so he is not against walking around with weapons/ tools of the trade. Now if you follow the path they leading us to, then Zimmerman may indeed have simply been "trying to protect" the neighbourhood from a suspicious looking individual who when approached, went on the offensive. I knew it was coming. So now what do we have? A troubled youth, potentially a home invader, who might have actually been observing the homes with bad intentions.

Here's an idea...if he was so close to home...walk away...simple. Sometimes people don't know when to retreat. Not everything has to be a fight.

Agreed. With that being said, what if someone is blocking your path? We've all been in situations where your goal is to walk away, but the other person is hell bent on something going down.

Keep your cool and if you don't have too much pride and an ego to match, dial 911. At minimum if anything happens records will show you initiated a call to the authorities. We have to (despite black people's general distrust) teach the youngsters to call 911. Imagine if while TM noticed Zimmerman and told his gf she said "call the cops and report what is going on." Even if things ended the exact same, there would be a record of TM feeling threathened that this man was following him. As it stands Zimmerman's version of events coupled with the call we heard might actually get him off scott free.

Yes there are situations where someone is hell bent on something going down. Been there, done that. But I've always had a way to get myself out of the situation whether running or trickery or even if I had to fight it was gain the advantage and get away. But then again I try my best to avoid places and situations where I would be put in that situation. (NOTE: I do not think that was the case here.)

In agreement with you both. But at this point; we are all Monday Morning QB'ing....I'm of the belief that if Trayvon, called the cops, or ran...this guy (Zimmerman) would've pulled the trigger. From all reports, dude wanted to be a cop bad. The end result is none of this would've happened if he would've STAYED IN HIS CAR.

The issue is that I see a lot of double-standards during the discussion. I feel this is the first time that this has turned into a real discussion rather than media say or my "truth" versus "your truth". So the gf told TM to run...but he didn't. But people focus on ZM not following dispatch instructions. The bring up ZM's run ins with the law but TM's school issues must remain off limits.

In any situation, you have to do what is best for YOU and to keep yourself alive. Both could have avoided it. Now two people's lives are gone because what kind of life would ZM possibly have now even after this blows over? Sometimes egos need to be checked for the best outcome...and both egos should have been checked at the door here.

Why would he shoot him when the cops were on their way??? Let's reason this out. People assumed that he had his gun in his had chasing the guy. That is not the case and couldn't be. Because I don't think TM is that stupid to see a gun in someones hand and go confront him without having a gun himself.
