Unfortunately the situation has been completely blown out of context due to media and racial pressure. Back to the beginning, how does a neighborhood watch volunteer get the right to pursue and confront someone for walking down the street. It is my understanding as a neighborhood watch volunteer myself my job is to WATCH my neighborhood and report suspicious activity, not carry a gun and pass judgment on others for their actions.

Question still remains, why didn’t he listen when instructed to stay in his vehicle and monitor the subject, instead he made the decision to pursue and confront!

Interesting. We are all judging this young man because of the idiotic comments by talking heads on the news like Al (NotSo)Sharpton and the Black Panthers. The truth is none of us know this kid. None of us can rightfully make the claim that he was up to no good and none of us are willing to simply recognize that regardless of what course the legal battle takes, a young life is a young life. And the Martin family is understandably hurting. Some of you folks' remarks are not only lacking substantial evidence to back them up, they're incredibly cruel and unwarranted.

Interesting how Corey was smiling and said quote "sweet parents" and "justice for trayvon martin". Sounds like she is biased. She made a political decision, to prevent rioting and looting. When the jury sees/hears the evidence and facts, he will be acquitted. Unless they are afraid for their lives too. The riots, looting and burning will still come later. And why isn't she and AG Holder going after the black panther party? A $10,000 DEAD or alive reward, and inciting? Truth and justice is the real victim.

Wow, scary. I sure hope I'm not in a position to have to defend myself in my own neighborhood. I guess in that situation you either allow someone to hurt you or go to jail?

Goodfighter, I guess you'd be visible and easily accessable if the Panthers had a $10,000 reward on your head, condoned by Sharpton, Jackson and Obama since none of them have criticized the bounty.

The special prosecuter Angela Corey didn't go to the grand jury because she knows there's no case. Corey is a puppet whose strings are being pulled by Sharpton & Jackson. No telling what drummed up charges the three of them agreed to charge him with. They will push for guilty, maybe even have the jury rigged to achieve that goal, otherwise the blacks will riot if Zimmerman is found innocent. .

goodfighter- the reason he is in hiding is because the BPP has offered a reward for him (which is a crime that will go un-charged because of all the liberals that bow down to the thugs). i hope he is well armed when they come to try and collect.

rcraig- that sounds good on the surface, however, the charges are only being pursued due to the biased media (MSNBC, NBC, ABC) doing everything possible to make this a race issue. then we have the racists involved (sharpton, jackson and the black panther party) who keep stirring it up even more. murph is right-they will riot no matter what the outcome is. from all the evidence provided so far it looks like a clear cut case of self defense and the only way he will be found guilty of any crime would be if it is an all black jury. we are definately heading towards a race war with the black panther party leading the charge--also, why has holder not charged them with inciting a riot? offering a reward for zimmerman? oh, thats right, he is also black and refuses to do his job because he knows our half white president will back him all the way.

Good luck finding the rat, if he wasnt guilty he wouldnt be hiding
