But then, I've heard so many things, hard to sort out the real story.
Also, I think a few posts ago you ( I think it was you) mentioned there were no witnesses. I would think the person the kid was talking to on the phone as well as others that heard the screams would be considered witnesses, no?

You're a sweet lady.
To start with, you admit that you don't really know. And that makes two of us.
I wasn't the one to mention that there were no witnesses. But I have mentioned several times that I wasn't there and I don't know what actually happened.
Now I do object to Zimmerman being painted a racist, a "Dirty Harry Wannabee", etc, whenever it's just as possible that he was no more than a concerned citizen trying to do the right thing when things went south, and used lethal force in defense of his life.
All I'm saying is let's give the guy a fair shake. After all, he's not living in nirvana.

BTW, I was opening a checking account in Houston TX whenever there was a bank robbery. Sure glad the perp stopped when the cops told him that they were "going to blow him away" as I was sitting in a chair in the direct line of fire.
Ain't like opening a checking account in Bugtussell.
