Right. Except I was questioning your punching-a-cop-in-the-nose-from-behind story.

It is from 2005 when he was arrested for domestic violence.

Right- so a bit out of date and unfair perhaps to use it?

Also the pic of the sweet little kid on the left- might be also a bit out of date?

I did not interject a cop into it.

Happy to straighten you out on that.

In order to reach your conclusion you did exactly that-the kid had no history (that we know of) of hitting Hispanics either,yet he allegedly did.
News reports also allude to corroborating witnesses.

Latest news reports about his past and his on line conduct are starting to reveal Martin as not exactly an alter boy image.

It's beginning to look like wrong met wrong and wrong won.

The actual eye witnesses that have gone on record stated they saw zimmerman strattling martin holding him face down. Perhaps the boy turned it around and got the upper hand in thr scuffle. "WHILE DEFENDING HIMSELF" Zimmerman instigated the conflict and the scuffle that took place. He can,t then claim self defence because he was loosing.

That very well could be the case but use of deadly force by a person that picks a fight is murder.

Your problem here, Uno, is that you are being far too logical.

How do you know. There are plenty of cases in which a cop shoots. Someone for carrying a water pistol or having a knife.

In the case a cop shots an unarmed boy, you bet he is put under a lot more investigation than Zimmerman has been.

More often than not they're found justified in their actions.

Zimmerman does have a witness.

A 17 year old whi just got suspended from school fir having a joint in his back pack. He was probably looking for acfighy. Most juveniles event if they have a record. The record are usually sealed vv

Not saying it does. Just pointing out the media would have you believe otherwise. Note where I said Wrong met Wrong.

It is very difficult to follow your thinking here.

The kid was killed by the dude, in cold blood, after the dude was told by a representative of the authorities not to follow the kid.
