We all have opinions, and some are more vocal than others, to which I plead guilty. |

The retouched photograph is too much to take, BTW. As far as I am concerned, THC is a material that most consider a mind-altering drug, if you do not.

Look, I've never voted for a Democrat in my life, but Zimmerman still overstepped. He wasn't a cop, it wasn't his job to accost people on the street and start interrogating them, he was being an officious busybody and he almost got what he deserved for doing so. If you think that being a pothead should be a capital crime, you are the one with the problem. |

Why would Martin have waived his right to self defense, or under Florida Law, to stand his ground, marijuana or not? Any normal individual would seriously consider their self defense options if he believed he was being stalked by a creep who had not made any statement of his authority to accost him. Which if Zimmerman had, might have resulted in a reasonable explanation being delivered and no shots fired. The incident was entirely of Zimmerman's making. ....but Martin isn't around to tell his side of the story. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Hell, Zimmerman is a Democrat. However, that has NOTHING to do with a trial and verdict. My issue here is with what the damned media has done to turn the collective view of the average American against a guy who wanted to help the neighborhood. True, that he was not a law enforcement officer and should have NOT been doing more than observation. However, that does NOT make it OK for a street punk to beat him to death because Zimmerman approached him. He did what ANYONE would do when overcome by a drug-influenced athlete who was pounding his head into the concrete. He was found NOT GUILTY and it should rest as that. PERIOD!!! If you think that being a pothead should be a capital crime, you are the one with the problem. |

It doesn't make any difference what Travon may or may not have done in the past or what he intended to do the in future. He was not, as you said, "drug-filled" at the time Zimmerman shot him. Nice strawman. As I figured. |
