If you look, dress, and act like a crook, people are gonna assume you're a crook. Now, Zimmerman probably had it in his head that he was gonna scare this kid off, the kid said fuck you and started beating him up, and Zimmerman shot him. Self-Defense...maybe. He did put himself in the situation. I'm gonna go with more bad parenting on this though. If the parents raised Treyvon properly and didn't let him look like a damn gangbanger, he probably wouldn't have ever been in that situation.

To me, what ever happened before that punk ass thug attacked Zimmerman is irrelevant.

Once the first punch was thrown, anything Zimmerman did afterwords was in an effort to defend himself, including the use of deadly force.

I'd say the State of Florida better get ready for some riots when this one goes to trial.

Yeah and it's all been covered before, but a majority of the people you support Trayvon use that same argument...that Zimmerman started it all.

Honestly, over this one a lot of people out there just skip the "ignorant" category and go straight to stupid. Because either you so blind with hatred/whatever that you can't see both sides OR you're just stupid.

I'm still waiting for something to prove that Zimmerman did something incorrectly.

A lot of people on the other side of this issue adopt the "If you started it, I'm not responsible for anything I do after that" policy.

ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - A color photograph of George Zimmerman with a bloody, swollen nose taken on the night he shot and killed unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin last February was posted on the Internet on Monday by Zimmerman's legal defense team.

As the photo began to be circulated widely by the news media, lawyers on both sides disagreed about its significance to the second-degree murder case against Zimmerman.

"It's not a game changer," Zimmerman lawyer Mark O'Mara told Reuters. But O'Mara said the photo was significant in that it shows vividly the injuries Zimmerman incurred during his confrontation with Martin at a condominium in the central Florida town on Sanford.

On February 26, Zimmerman, who was a neighborhood watch volunteer, shot and killed 17-year-old Martin who was walking to the home in Sanford where he was staying with his father.

Zimmerman's murder trial is set for June 2013.

Zimmerman claims he shot Martin in self defense during a struggle.

"Does it really show what happened that night to George? Yes," O'Mara said.

Attorney Ben Crump, who represents Martin's family, however said the photo adds nothing new to the case. Previously released evidence has indicated Zimmerman was hit in the nose during the fight with Martin.

"Trayvon Martin was defending himself. He had every right to stand his ground to defend himself," Crump said.

O'Mara told Reuters that prosecutors in May had given him a grainy black-and-white photocopy of the image which was taken in the back seat of a Sanford police cruiser. O'Mara said he received the digital image from prosecutors after repeated demands by his office and he posted it Monday on Zimmerman's defense website.

Getting caught prowling homes.

The big scary guy with the gun!

I love how the darkies from the gang culture want to play victim when they get their asses whipped. Like the dude in that other thread who punched the clerk.

Apparently everyone is a hard ass until they get sent home with a new asshole.

[naynay]

lol @ "gang culture"

[Broncojohnny]

lol @ "gang culture"

Lol all you want, doesn't change the fact that Trayvon Martin is a loser. Maybe that is what we should call it, the loser culture.

[Trip McNeely]

Fuck that piece of shit. 1 less.

Dude got blasted, and deserved it. Hopefully people will learn from this.
