Many on this site will say that if Mr. Zimmerman goes to jail that it will impose on our rights for self protection. Again that is not the focus. Police are limited in approaching stranger unless there is probable cause. Mr. Zimmerman is not trained to be a policeman. He was carrying a gun. Mr. Martin was a young black man in the wrong neighborhood. He did not deserve to die. For Mr. Martin’s life to have any meaning, a message has to be sent. Neighborhood watch is not for confronting. It is there to observe and report it to the police who are trained in confrontation. If you want to confront then don't carry a gun around. Nobody has the right to shoot an unarmed person even if the shooter is afraid.

As far as people saying that Mr. Zimmerman's injuries support his defense that he had to defend himself, that correlation cannot be made. His victim was most likely the one trying to defend himself. If someone chased me down with a gun you better believe I would fight for my life, and there is a strong likelihood based on what we know and the fact that Mr. Martin was aggressively pursued (against police instructions), that might be exactly what happened. Mr. Zimmerman being beat up may only confirm the threat that Mr. Martin felt, having no idea this guy was a neighborhood watchman but only knowing he was pursuing him with a gun. I can't imagine any of us would feel otherwise if we were in his situation.

Justice, whatever that may be in this case, might never come though because the police from the moment they arrived, didn't take this murder investigation seriously enough. Just my opinion!

Eddie, everything in your "opinion" is totally conjecture. Everything! The only thing I will agree with you on is that Martin did not have to die. Had he continued home (if that really is where he was going, we don't know that for a fact) and not approached and beat Zimmerman to the ground he would never have been shot. That is my opinion based on the real evidence that is known. You are sounding more and more like Gary (Superman) Z24. The majority of the talking points of the circus that invaded and stirred the local black population up in Sanford (not Stanford) has been proven false by the actual facts that are slowly coming out and will continue to come out. Of course I have no doubt you and most of the pro-Trayvonists will just close their eyes and ears and continue spout conjecture.
