Just want to say that after seeing the video of Zimmerman arriving at the police station, and hearing the audio experts say that Trayvon was the one yelling for help, I've abandoned my previous speculations of how this went down. Zimmerman looks to have been careless and overzealous at least, and I'm having a hard time now believing he honestly feared for his life, unless there was a struggle for the gun, which brings us back to careless.

Thanks -QFT and as DRay pointed out Zim was the go to guy for neighborhood watch-
Now all of the angry villagers are going to find out just what their responsibility's are and pay for it. It's already ugly and it's going to get uglier.

HOAs need some heavy oversight due to the fact that what you have here is a bunch of amateurs running a quasi munincipal government without any checks and balances. All of them should be professionally managed with an attorney looking over their shoulders. No exceptions.

Gated communities are all about fear. The land of the brave is turning into the most incredibly fearful and paranoid in the first world.

Fear and seclusion. Don't want the great unwashed seeing that you have no need for a tax cut. They might stop voting for your puppets.

Well, now CNN has gone and enhanced the video......You can see some injury to the back of his head. I still say if he had stopped following when he was told to........

And, still. No public explanation....nothing. I still don't get how you can just kill someone and not, at the very least, explain your actions when the public has questions.
