Time has a laughable over the top article in regards to this.

"...the fatal condition of being black."

Give me a fuckin break

I seriously don't think it's a matter of IF he gets off, but WHEN he gets off. There is no way he will ever be charged because that would mean the Sanford cops blatantly let a murderer go and they will do everything and say anything necessary to cover up their mistake in letting him go. In case you haven't seen them, several "news" outlets are already smearing Martin and blaming him for instigating the attack. The NRA propaganda machine is in high gear defending Zimmerman.

If you believe the justice system is perfect, then yes, that would be the case.

"Stand your ground" isn't sound law and there is a reason other states haven't rushed to pass similar legislation.

Numerous defense attorneys have stated it gave them a line defense they never had and even admit they think the law has been exploited.

If nothing else I'm betting Florida law makers revisit the law and create some limits as to were it can be used.

There was another case where a 14 year old shot a 19-20 year oldthief attempting to steal a jet sky from its mooring at a canal. The victim was not in the home, not attempting to get into the home, not attacking the shooter. He was trying to get the jet ski from its mooring. Plus he was deaf.

I don't know how over the top it is. I mean I was drawn down on by the cops twice by the time I was 19. First time, too young & dumb to realize the danger I was in until I, against instructions, turned to see the officers down on one knee aiming at me and the other when I was too terrified to properly comply with the officers when I already saw them drawing on me. I was HS/college freshman nerd from the burbs, wasn't prepared to handle either situation. Could've easily made the wrong dumb/nervous move and been put down. The reason for the stops, I fit the description.

Well according to this new mysteriously unidentified witness Martin attacked him after Zimmerman approached him, so that's where they're claiming the Stand Your Ground defense.

Will the Southern Poverty Law Center be adding the New Black Panther Party to their list of dangerous militias seeing as how the NBPP has form one to track down Zimmerman?

A good first step would be to, you know, CHARGE THE FUCKER. The kid was unarmed and apparently did not accost the guy that shot him before he was confronted by the guy. Why the fuck has he not been charged? Something stinks here, seriously.

So to you, thats a clear sign of mental illness? LOL

Look, I am not defending this guy. He seems to have some severe issues. Whenever someone is told by dispatch to not pursue someone, and then they do, and the person ends up dead, it is a very bad situation for the guy who did the following.

On the outside, it looks like Zimmerman acted outside the law. But, I was not there, and am not privy to all the facts.

Before I say he's guilty, he needs his due process. But if the prelim reports are true, doesn't look good for ole Zimmy.

But the law apparently applies to the facts of the case, and not the urban myths being spread by hate groups.

Guess having the 911 people tell Zimmerman to cease following the victim and then Zimmerman stopping his vehicle, getting out of his vehicle to cause an altercation went right past you.

You are a bright one.

This story is nothing more than the cops concocting a story to explain why they screwed up and didn't arrest Zimmerman. Martin was walking fast to get away from Zimmerman who was chasing him, then we are supposed to believe that Zimmerman stopped the chase, turned around and then Martin turned around to confront him? Yeah, if you swallow that line of crap, I have a bridge in northern Michigan I would like to sell you.
