    I never said that GZ said out loud on the 9/11 call that TM was black. What I said was that he didn't give any good reason (what behavior?) for his suspicion of TM. That leaves the sole facts being that TM was a young black male he didn't recognize who was wearing a hoodie was walking alone in Zimmerman's neighborhood. What evidence can you show me that came out at trial that Zimmerman had about TM's "behavior"?

    Really Margot?

    You can't even give him credit for this and have to make it seem like anyone would have done what George did?

    Really?

    I guess the argument that todays society is at all apathetic has zero basis.

    Margot has declared that anyone, anyone at all would have done what George did.

    Hey Trayvon supporters, is he still a coward?

    Hey Margot, is he still really stupid?

    Sure he did and it is recorded. BTW: when you see someone lurking in the rain when most everyone else with any sense is inside in a neighborhood plagued by theft and break ins, don't you think that would be a good reason to suspect someone?

    As you look around, say at Nature, do you find evidence of nothingness? Do you see a system that functions by pure chance or can you see a Creator's touch in any of this? Do you see the Big Bang coming forth from nothingness? Light/Heat/Energy/Matter from nothingness? Who do you think started the Big Bang? Whereas science teaches us that matter is neither created nor destroyed how was that Big Bang from nothingness created?

    I see the State flag is Florida...do you have a personal stake in all of this, do you personally know the Martin or Zimmerman families?

    Where did the word "lurking" come from? GZ himself admitted that TM was basically just walking in the rain, although he was suggesting TM was walking "slowly". Just how is this suspicious behavior?

    "lurking" ???? George didn't say that TM was lurking.

    I pulled someone out of a flipped car that ended up upside down at the bottom of a ravine.. Its what people do to help others.

    Biiiinnnngoooooo!!!!!!

    The TrayvonDeservedIt religion pops it's ugly head.!!!!!

    And, the more we know, the more we understand, the less obvious "god" becomes.

    AND

    There are 17 million people in Florida plus tourists. The odds of my knowing the families is remote at best and, if I do? How does that make right or wrong your willingness to support the continuing assassination of the character of a dead kid? I need no personal stake to recognize wrong when I see it.

    The Retreat had many teens who walked and teens sometimes get caught in the rain.. To make the leap that a teen walking in the rain was suspicious shows a lack of judgment and restraint.

    George should have followed NW protocol and waited for the police.

    NW volunteers don't shoot people.

    It is called suspicious behavior, which is not a crime and the reason Zimmerman called the non emergency number.

    That is why Zimmerman called the non emergency number and it did happen that most of the theft/burgleries were caused by young men so to ignore the obvious is to push an agenda.

    Because it was not about race and never was and that is according to the FBI.

    There were no witnesses to most of the daytime, week day burglaries.. The assumption was they were all done by young black males.

    No, the fact is that the ones reported were reported as black males but that hardly makes a difference when it is your property that is being vandalized and stolen.

    You are speaking of George's neighbor, Emmanuel Burgess, who George also didn't know..

    No, I am talking about the police record of recorded instances from witnesses around that time.

    We don't know who the aggressor was when the confrontation ocurred.

    But we do know that Zimmerman, in violation of NW rules and police admonishments, left his truck and went after Martin, unnecessarily creating a situation were violence was more likely.

    Zimmerman went after Martin, not the other way around.

    He didn't break any law and wasn't ordered to stay in his truck.

    Only if the "suspicious" person were violent.
