Zimmerman trial: Potential jurors polled on guns, crime

[SMOKE 1,426]

I thought the innocent guy is the dead one.

not always

[Penny Lane 8,159]

because i'm going to lmao at all the people that have already convicted him.

Nobody's "convicted" him of anything. People have stated their opinions on what they think happened.

But I guess if you're really excited to "lmao" at people on the internet, then ... I hope it goes well for you? I dunno what to say to that.

I do you one better, find me six women who wouldn't feel threatned if some 28 year old man decided on a whim to start following a 17 year old boy walking home from the store, not once identifying himself. But thought it was the best of ideas to get out of his car and chase him on foot through a neighborhood.

And while you are at it, why is it justifiable that George Zimmerman can kill Trayvon Martin when he was in fear of his life, yet Trayvon Martin couldn't attack George Zimmerman because he felt threatned?

Well if someone was following me and I got away from him because i felt threatened, I would not double back and attack him. Find me one woman who would disappear then come attack the person ?

GZ was in fear of his life because he had a violent attacker on top of him trying to kill him.

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

You tell it as Trayvon Martin jumped George Zimmerman without provocation, which we know isn't true.

You have info no one else in this country has ?

Poor GZ. He should have assumed TM was a thug, and was armed, and never should have followed him.

That is the pepetrator's testimony, but it is not supported by the evidence, which is why he is being prosecuted for second degree murder.

Dispatcher

Are you following him?

Zimmerman

Yeah.

Dispatcher

Ok, we don't need you to do that.

Zimmerman

Ok.

If George Zimmerman was within his rights to get out of his car and chase him because he assumed he was up to no good, why can't Trayvon Martin attack him because he assumed he was in danger?

Last time I checked, walking home from the store wasn't a crime either. Also, how can it be surveilance if Travyon Martin was already aware of his presense?

Watching someone in a public place, becuse you suspect they may be about to commit a crime is not illegal. GZ has the perfect right to follow TM on public land. So not against the law.

Smashing in someones face becuse they are watching you. That is a crime. You are confused.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Not against the law, but very stupid.

"Hm, this person looks suspicious. I think I am going to follow them and ask them questions even though I'm not any kind of authority over this person. I demand to know what they're doing! What could go wrong? I know the Neighborhood Watch that I belong to tells me to NEVER EVER DO this but I'm pretty badass, so I'm gonna try it."

I know if I see someone acting bizarrely (not that TM was, that we know of) ... I make sure to get myself involved in the situation.

No.

A rational person calls the cops and waits for them to arrive. The end.

good gosh, I am so tired of seeing the line "his head was being smashed on the pavement" If that were true he would have required a trip to the hospital to check for a concussion and most likely stitches...

Total fabrication. GZ obviosly made up the part about having his head punded into the pavment.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

Zimmerman's defense team will try to portray him as a physically impaired concerned citizen that was ambushed by a ruthless gangbanger high on a cocktail of illicit substances prowling the neighborhood looking for easy prey. Many here seem to have bought that tripe. I doubt you will get all six members of the jury to do so as well.

What makes you think he asked TM anything.. He did call the cops.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Witness testimony says that he did ask TM what he was doing. And TM asked GZ why he was following him.

And yes. He did call the cops.

If that was ALL he did, we'd never have heard about this story. Because nobody would have died.

Dispatcher

Yeah we've got someone on the way, just let me know if this guy does anything else.

Dispatcher asked George to watch Travon.
