    I saw the interview with the eyewitnesses (there were two) who saw him straddling the victim.

    1. I would not sign a petition based on what the MSM says about it. Haven't we learned that yet?

    2. But let's supposed that the reports are true, and this is a ruthless murder of an innocent young man. Okay, now explain the double standard - why no outcry when whites are targeted?

    3. Regarless of the facts, race mongers will cash in, both politically and dollarly. And the beat goes on while America continues to be dismantled a little more every day.

    What happened to "innocent until proven guilty by a jury of our peers"?

    Where are the mobs in the street, as this link pictures, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...d-killer-George-Zimmerman-fatal-shooting.html demanding justice in this case? http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/03/2...oxnews/national+(Internal+-+US+Latest+-+Text)

    Once again, I don't know the truth about what happened. Don't bother to wait to hear the evidence the police department hasn't released yet. Don't bother to wait for voice analysis of the voices heard on the cell phone. Don't bother to wait to see if there's any DNA evidence forthcoming.

    What was that saying just prior to the last election.... "never let a good crisis go to waste"? Those with an agenda sure aren't doing that in this case. They are milking every drop of blood shed by this young man for everything they can get from it. Driving deeper and deeper wedges into the fabric of our society for their own motives. While they can. Before all the facts come to light.

    I don't know. Maybe Zimmerman will end up in prison for the rest of his life. Maybe Zimmerman will have concrete evidence to prove he did, indeed, act in self defense.

    No, I will not jump on the political bandwagon by listening to the "instruments" being played by the media and others to extract as much mob (herd) mentality as it can from people, while it can.

    I pray that more people won't be hurt and/or killed as a result of this individual and specific case. Again, where is the outrage for all the other people who have been murdered since this story broke on the news? If the two individuals had been the same race, I doubt this shooting would have done more than maybe a 5 second comment on the local 6:00 pm news. Had the races been reversed, the same applies.

    Why can't people (of all races) see that they are being played like a fiddle on that bandwagon? -- Never let a good crisis go to waste -- strike while the iron is hot, nevermind what the truth may turn out to be as facts (TRUTH) emerges.

    In closing, if Zimmerman is indeed guilty, sentence him in accordance to the maximum penalty of the law of the land. In the meantime, don't fall prey to those who want to see a lynch mob mentality take control of this nation.

    Isn't that what happened to Christ?

    Mark 15 KJB
    6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
    7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
    8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
    9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
    10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
    11 But the chief priests moved the people,
    that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
    12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
    13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
    14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
    15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified.

    Beware of how race-baiters and guilty whites distort tales of blacks with skittles.

    Sorry, anytime I see Al Sharpton on a story, I know the whole story is the furthest thing from his mind.

    It is coming to light that young Mr. Trayvon was not so innocent as portrayed.

    Once again the racial reactionaries, Jackson, Sharpton, and Obama, are guilty of inciting racial tensions before all the facts are in.

    It's a real pity that the POTUS puts himself in such shoddy company.

    Read today the one screaming help was Zimmerman, NOT Trayvon...and the only eyewitness to this confirmed it. The back of Zimmermans head was split open and he also had a broken nose, quite interesrting if these "facts" you support are true. Without knowing all of the facts in this investigation, signing any petition demanding his arrest is pure ignorance.

    If someone attacks you, do you fight back?

    That begs the question, who did the attacking? Zimmerman and the witness said a man in a red sweater was on the bottom calling for help.

    Yes, and I can see in a scuffle that the boy would not always be on the ground but instead would be actively working to protect himself. I heard the scream - it certainly didn't sound like the scream of an almost 30 year old man. It sounded much younger.

    The back of his head was split open? Really? Usually when one's head is split open, it requires medical care. The split open head wound? It was so minor that it was already healing by the time it was looked at and required no stitches.

    That's generally called a scrape or a scratch. It initially went from a bloody nose and a scratch to blunt force trauma, broken nose, numerous cuts. It's a wonder the guy was able to get the gun out of his waistband like he said he did, what with all that trauma and him claiming to be on the ground getting pounded to a pulp. (btw, he refused medical treatment that night)

    A domestic violence complaint, resisting arrest with violence, now someone is dead at his hands. AFTER he was advised not to follow, AFTER he did so anyhow. AFTER you can hear him on the tape using a major racial slur.

    Matt, yes, there is supposed to be a 13 year old who ended up going forward as an eye witness and either contracicting what the numerous adults believe they heard or it could just be adding the kid defending himself before he got shot, if it's true. Here is that link: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/report-witness-claims-trayvon-martin-attacked-george-zimmerman/

    That also begs the question, what does a scream of a 30 year old overweight hispanic man sound like? This "kid" was 6'3", Zimmerman was 5'9". From Zimmerman's account he was punched and knocked to the ground. The eyewitness saw him under Trayvon.

    how do you know how major and how minor his injuries were, were you there?
    do you have access to his medical records?

    purely ignorant comments. Do you know what its like to be attacked?

    ahhh...I see, it was the racial slur that seals his guilt. We can stop waiting for the investicating to be complete, we have a slur folks. Call the "reverends" (oh wait...)

    here you see the clear bias. "Numerous adults"?! Contradicting what these numerous adults said?! Just maybe these numerous adults contradicted what this alleged eyewitness (the only one besides Zimmerman) SAW!

    Here's a different eyewitness defending Trayvon. She claims police basically ignored her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08Rf4G0JOOk&feature=related

    The news has reported his injuries, including the fact that the wound was already healing and received no stitches.

    Yes, I know what it is like to be attacked. Even on a hard, dry surface and with quite a bit of violence, I didn't need stitches. Since it was raining the night Trayvon was shot and they were in the grass, that only makes me further suspicious of the need to shoot and kill this kid.

    Yes, the racial slur definitely contributes to the concept that Zimmerman should be arrested and brought to trial to determine if he is guilty. When you take it on yourself to follow someone, against advice, and call them a horrid racial slur while doing so and while having a history that suggest violence and then you shoot the same person dead, then yes, it's a GIANT RED FLAG highly suggesting guilt.

    Why is "numerous adults" considered bias? I watched them all stand there on camera and testify in what appears to either negate what the 13 year old said or fill in a blank, perhaps a part where Trayvon defended himself. What term would you prefer I use? What would make you happy, webdog? What is the correct terminology for that, one that wouldn't suggest prejudice?

    All the witnesses thus far, save one, agree that an injustice appears to have occurred. In addition, 2,066,012 others (and growing) have signed the petition because they agree that Zimmerman should be put in front of a jury of his peers.

    Maybe it's time for you to rethink where you stand. Or, if you're bent on defending Zimmerman, start a petition of your own. If you honestly believe he had the right to do this, then help the guy out because he sure doesn't have much support at the moment.

    Its sickening that over 2 million sheeple want Zimmerman arrested due SOLELY what has been reported by the media, which we know ceased being unbiased decades ago. So much for due process in this country...and for it's demise to be supported by believers! :tear:

    its amazing the care and difficulting that went into the due process in the OJ trial...now when the victims are reversed, who cares! String him up!

    Here is the fifth amendment that talks about due process:

    These two million plus people are BEGGING for due process. Yes, there are some saying string him up now, shoot him now, but the majority are begging for due process of law because a young person was deprived of his right to life and the surrounding circumstances do not support the idea that anyone had the right to take that from him.

    I fully support it. Do you?

    Because the political left wants to use this as an opportunity to say that another white man is racist and we need more laws getting whitey under control.

    The Right wants to politicize this and turn it into a racial issue for their own political gain. The fact is, we don't know whether the shooting was justified. There is a legal process in place, and it needs to be sorted out that way.

    Demanding his arrest is due process? :confused:

    Putting a bounty on his head driving him to seclusion is due process? :confused:

    Innocent UNTIL proven guilty...not arrested and assumed guilty UNTIL proven innocent.
