I believe I also questioned if Martin saw the gun - was it just "in Zimmerman's waistband" or was it covered by a jacket (It was raining).

    You seem focused on this and I'm not sure why; It doesn't matter. If Martin saw the gun or not is pointless; Martin felt threatened enough to run from a man who was obviously following him. Martin felt threatened enough to run all the way back to the only point of safety he knew in the area. Zimmerman followed him all the way.

    Zimmerman says he was walking back to his truck, but I haven't heard or seen or read any witness that supports this. Zimmerman claims his head was being bashed into the concrete pavement (yet only has two minor cuts on the back of his head), and again i haven't heard or seen or read any witness statement that supports this.

    I think Martin punched him in the face, and then Zimmerman panicked and shot him. If you think otherwise, great - tell me what you think.

      You mean the witnesses that did not come out until they heard a gunshot? Right.

            No, the main witness that testified that Zimmerman was getting beat up - he went outside, yelled at them to stop and ran back in to call the police. There was other witnesses as well. No one made any attempt to stop it.... as they shouldn't.

              No... i never said anyone deserved to be shot. The facts of the actual confrontation are not clear enough to make the determination that someone deserved to be shot. Thats just one more example of the baseless, emotional blather that is not supported by fact that plagues this case.

                    Did you have any special training for this?
                    The only special training that was provided if you choose to call it training...was about an hour...if that...instruction on what the SOP was. It did not require any special training per se as you were simply to watch for strangers and/or suspicious activity and if there was suspicious activity...to call it in to the police. You were told to avoid a confrontation if at all possible. I never had a confrontation and I am not aware that anyone else did. Our patrol car was identified as being a neighbor hood watch car and we wore a T-Shirt or a jacket that identified us as being a neighbor hood watch. I was asked if I had working knowledge with a pump shotgun and it was explained to me that the shotgun in the patrol car was to remain in the car and was only there to protect ourselves if we came under fire. I was asked if I had a permit to carry and when I answered yes...I was asked about my experience with side arms and fire arms in general...which was/is extensive. I was then provided with a two page list of instructions.

                      Zimmerman has already lost.

                      1) Out of fear and stress he's gained over 100 lbs.
                      2) If he gets jail time he will be instantly targeted, and his time will be hellish.
                      3) If he doesn't get jail time, then he will spend all of his miserable, cop-wannabe time, looking over his shoulder and hoping no one is around the corner looking to even the score.

                      Maybe if he minded his own business he would have a happy future, but instead he decided to play tough-guy vigilante, and now his life will never be happy again.

                      Game over - Zimmerman loses, no matter how it turns out. Congrats!

                              yeah there are way more guns now enough to out gun the police. there are military grade weapons on the streets as well. also think there are terrorist living here in the shadows. it could get ugly.

                                  ...and unfortunately blacks in large numbers can be an unruly bunch when they get a mob mentality.

                                    The more I read about the case the more I think he will not be found guilty of Murder Two, however, my understanding is that they jury could still sentence him to Manslaughter.

                                    like you say, even if he walks away free, there will be a civil case that will bankrupt him either through legal fees or by losing the case and having Martin's family collecting on him for the rest of his life.

                                    Not to mention he will be one of those guy walking around that many people will assume got away with murder.

                                    His only hope is that he beats all the charges, wins his civil case and then is offered big money for a book deal and the right to his story for a TV movie. He could take that cash and disappear.

                                              If I was on the jury suffering thru a half year's testimony with week after week of DNA explanations I would have had reasonable doubt about my own name.

                                                I think he did it.

                                                However, if I was sitting on the jury, based on how that case went down, I likely would have had enough reasonable doubt to vote not guilty.

                                                        The segment of the population that would consider Zimmerman a "hero" may be even smaller than the group who believes Michele Bachmann's husband is heterosexual.

                                                          If you look at zimmermans past he isnt a hero but a piece of shit.

There was a line of people who were waiting in front of a shoe store to get some 175 dollar sneakers. this guy comes up armed to rob people in the the line. a guy in the line also has a gun, he kills the theft and then gets back in line. That's a hero.

It did not require any special training per se as you were simply to watch for strangers and/or suspicious activity and if there was suspicious activity...to call it in to the police. You were told to avoid a confrontation if at all possible. I never had a confrontation and I am not aware that anyone else did. Our patrol car was identified as being a neighbor hood watch car and we wore a T-Shirt or a jacket that identified us as being a neighbor hood watch. I was asked if I had working knowledge with a pump shotgun and it was explained to me that the shotgun in the patrol car was to remain in the car and was only there to protect ourselves if we came under fire. I was asked if I had a permit to carry and when I answered yes...I was asked about my experience with side arms and fire arms in general...which was/is extensive. I was then provided with a two page list of instructions.
                                                                        It just blows me away that any civilian with a firearm can join an armed police force with only two pages of instructions and an hour long class.

There was other witnesses as well. No one made any attempt to stop it.... as they shouldn't.

Simpson went free?? were they racist?? i want to hear your answer.

The jury said not guilty and I sure was not convinced otherwise based on the obvious lies and other evidence presented that was viewable to us on Court TV.

The jury said not guilty and I sure was not convinced otherwise based on the obvious lies and other evidence presented that was viewable to us on Court TV.

I for one do not view having a shotgun in the patrol car as really being armed. I was armed because I have a permit to carry just as tens of millions of people carry. Any where you or any one else goes there are people carrying...even little old grandma's carry. I don't understand why you think one needs some kind of extensive training to ride around in a car to watch what is going on in the neighbor hood.

The investigative report in the medical examiner's autopsy report states that the 8 year old daughter awoke to screaming at about 5:30 a.m. May 14, but she went back to sleep, thinking the noise was from an adjacent apartment. When the girl got up about two hours later, she found her mother in bed covered with blood, and she sought help from some construction workers nearby.

In affluent enclaves across the country, from Beverly Hills, Calif., to Scarsdale, N.Y., these high-profile cases and others -- many of them unsolved -- have set nerves on edge amid what law-enforcement officials and security experts say is becoming an alarming trend. One particularly gruesome case in July underscored the dangers for many, when a home invasion in Cheshire, Conn., ended in the deaths of a doctor's wife and his two daughters. Two men have been arrested and charged in the case.

                                                                                            Why does it matter to you if people are wealthy, middle class or poor. Or weather they live in high crime areas or not?

                                                                                            Shouldn't we all have the same expectation of safety?

(We had a murder recently in my town here too, which stunned all of us.) But I am guessing they didn't arm their neighborhood watch with shotguns.

                                                                                                      Out of all of the towns mentioned, do they have neighborhood watch groups, and are any of them armed?

                                                                                                      It's stunning that we have cities with armed neighborhood watches with zero instruction, no rules, no authority, and then have them patrolling at night and shooting kids because they are wearing a hoodie in the rain...
