You don't have a right to assault and/or try to murder someone for doing nothing more than following you to ask you a question or two.
What people do and say are what matter. I feel threatened by all sorts of things but I don't attack everything that makes me feel threatened or I would be in prison or dead.
I was followed today from the store by someone but I didn't viciously attack them. I asked them what they wanted and they said I dropped a dollar at the counter and handed it to me. I said thank you.
See how this works?
Once I cut some gang member off in a big black truck and he began to chase me riding my bumper with his horn blowing for me to pull over. I calmly drove to the nearest police station and parked right in front of it and got out. He was in the street glaring at me. I opened the door and waved for him to go in to the station. I yelled, "You're almost home." He swore at me and did a great burn out in rage as he raced away. I laughed. Life goes on.

But you DO have a right to grab your gun, get out of your vehicle, and follow someone down the sidewalk because you feel threatened?
Double standard man.
Zimmerman was part of a neighborhood watch.
There had been breakins.
He saw someone he did not recognize and followed him.
Was Zimmerman a little gungho? Probabaly.
Did Martin assault Zimmerman? Yes.
Was there a violent history with Martin? Yes. Was he under the influence of an intoxicant? Quite probably.
Was there a background of racial hatreds in Zimmerman's past? No.
The biggest question is..was there political hay to be made from this story?
YES, and it was.

Not if they don't assault me, verbally threaten me or make a "terrorist threat," or violate harassment/stalking laws which in Florida look like this:
Florida
If you go hard at an individual once, but don't do anything violent or say anything threatening, because you want to ask them a question or clear up a misunderstanding that's fine. And, it should be fine. But do it twice and you can get charged with a crime.

Voting for democrats is the major societal influence upon the african american culture, if such can be said for a very diverse set of human beings who share pigment likenesses.
Psst, thats means not all black people are the same but they sure vote the same. Indoctrination and ideological hatreds makes fools of even the best people.
Look at Detroit and California. Compare that with Texas, Tennessee and Wisconsin, three conservative states.
In 1900 african american families were close knit, God fearing group. Today, 60% of african american pregnancies end in abortion in NYC. 70% of african american births are illegitimate.
Blacks were mostly lynched in the south after the civil war, not for being black, but for voting for republicans.
MLK was a republican.
The Civil Rights bill of 1964 was passed by republicans and with republican support.
Saying you are pro-black community by raising welfare benefits and giving out free phones...is absolutely and without a doubt, racist.
Stop believing the covetness of the left, listen to people like Clarence Thomas and Bill Cosby and live life on your terms, not the governments....
Clarence Thomas: Society is overly sensitive about race

i still think that any and all guards/neighborhood watch/community patrol ect.ect. should be dressed in a hat that says "neighborhood watch",,and a jacket,t shirt,ect. with "neighborhood watch" right on it back and front. this would have changed everything in the martian/Zimmerman situation.
i listened to the 911 tape way back then,in the tape Zimmerman states to the 911 operator "oh,i didn't want to say that out loud because i don't know these kids" George Zimmerman Trayvon Martin 911 Call - YouTube he makes several comments on the order that he does not want anyone to know that he is the neighborhood watchman.
Martians friend who he was on the phone with testified that martian told her there was a "creepy white dude following him" whether or not this is a racial statement or not makes no difference. what does make a difference is the fact that he(martian) did not recognize Zimmerman as a "neighborhood watch" so it would seem self evident that the only real way for something like this not to take place again is to "CLEARLY MARK THE NEIGHBORHOOD PATROLS",,,,

Robert and Gladys Zimmerman filed a suit against comedian Roseanne Barr in March seeking the big payout after she tweeted the address of their Florida home.
"The parents of George Zimmerman want comedian Roseanne Barr to pay up $750,000 for emotional damage and other expenses for posting their address on Twitter.
Robert and Gladys Zimmerman say the tweet by Barr on March 29, 2012, caused $600,000 in emotional distress, according to federal court documents, after they were forced to 'flee their house in the middle of the night.'
Of that amount, about $37,400 will cover additional expenses such as hotel rooms, travel, meals out and laundry, since they couldn't live at their Lake Mary, Fla., property after Barr shared their address."

Did ya ever consider the reason why more african american youths act up in school is because they are the poster children for liberalism?
90% of african americans vote for democrats.
70% are born out of wedlock
unless you are in NYC where 60% of african american pregnancies end in abortion
racial tensions? Reading this article, you get the impression that truth and racial tensions when combined in the liberal mind produces delusion. OF COURSE a higher rate of disciplinary problems in schools by african americans MUST be racism...right?
Could never be the influence of liberal thought upon this segment of society who have embraced this ideology more than any other.
The proof is in the pudding. Its not bad races, its bad ideologies.

Police said they spotted Zimmerman sitting with his dog in the back of the Pompano Pat’s on Woodland Boulevard around 12:30 a.m. Sunday.
Zimmerman said he was helping protect the store for the owner, Pat Johnson, after it was broken into recently.
"Did Pat hire you to watch over? You're just doing it as a friend? Oh, OK," the officer is heard saying on dashcam video.
