Here's a hint;
Repetition of stupidity does not make the stupidity any smarter, not even the speaker of such repetitive stupidity.
Here's a hint for you: repeated posting of "evidence" that isn't really evidence when you weren't there doesn't mean you know any better than any other poster does. You're guessing plain and simple. And what's worse, you're guessing based on prejudice. He's guilty in your eyes so you suggest and you speculate all toward proving he's guilty...yet you weren't there.
Here is an even better hint for you: Take your own advice!
There does indeed to be alot of evidence that shows the chain of events are at best, questionable. Before the police arrive and the moment Mr. Zimmerman contacts them, a series of events are only fortold from one person's perspective. However, we are not living in 1912 with the limited ability to understand evidence. In 2012 there are many more ways to aquire evidence. After the police become involved, things take an even shader turn down the unknown. There are alot of questions not being answered. There is only one witness at the scene of the crime, holding the gun that fired the bullet that killed Mr. Martin. And his story is flimsy at best. What is worst, is that Mr. Zimmerman holds no remorse for killing Mr. Martin, as if the whole thing was justified. If you killed someone that turned out to be innocent and minding their business, wouldnt you feel just a tad bit sad, if not, begging forgiveness from the kid's parents?
When it comes to the police, things turn even more murky. The evidence is less forth coming, the police behaving less open to the public's outcry, and they have a history of corruption in the past. This doesnt help the police's credibility factor. And now they are being investigaged by both state and federal law enforcement. Even if the police were vindicated, and frankly, at present I dont see how they could be, the road back to being 'credible' to the public will be a long one.
Back to Mr. Zimmerman himself. After factoring out all the information that is bias 'for' or 'against', one is left with very little in the way of evidence that shows Mr. Zimmerman acted in the right manner, given the situation. We do not have information on his frame of mind that night, or in general. Likewise, if he was a neighborhood watch captian, wouldn't that imply there are people reporting to him? You cant be the commander of an army if you dont have an army. From what I've read of typical neighborhood watchs, one does not keep following/chasing/pursuing (did this just for DM....) after the police have been contacted and told not to follow/chase/pursue (again, for DM's benefit folks). Likewise, the carrying of firearms is frown upon as it could lead to vigilante justice rather than the rule of law. More so, a neighborhood watch would have several members whom could be contacted and verify information.
