    Personally: my piecing together of the testimony and facts makes me go the opposite direction and think Zimmerman instigated it. Everything I've seen makes me think he did in fact follow him for at least a little while after the phone call. If he doesn't do that, this doesn't have a chance to happen. He "feels" somewhat culpable to me.

    However: innocent until proven guilty, and feelings don't make a case. The evidence against Zimmerman is circumstantial at best and we shouldn't be sending people to prison on flimsy cases like this.

    The bigger question to me during this whole thing: Why the fuck does the neighborhood watch have a gun?! Their job is to call the cops if something goes down and not shoot people.

    "being high would have a pretty significant effect on his mental state"

    I disagree. I've been in tons of fuct up situations while high, and I NEVER once acted in a violent way. I've had the shit scared out of me, and I still acted like ME. If you do something violent while high, it's because you're a violent person, not because you were high. If it were coke, meth, acid, boos, or just about anything else, then sure, that can prompt a person to act out of character. But pot? No effin way, it's a non-factor.

    "infact he was using marijuana, talked like a thug, dressed like one, and had tools in his backpack..."

    Drop the first part and you have ' talked like a thug, dressed like one, and had tools in his backpack...' THAT is the issue.


    "confirmation of marijuana in his system plays an important role"

    Say I dont smoke any for 2 weeks, and I get into a car crash. They will test me, find pot in my system, and try to say I crashed because I was high.


    All I know of the case is what I've seen in this thread. But things like this happen all over the country. Why is this case getting coverage? I'd have to assume it will be used to help bring about strict gun control. If that's the case, he'll be found guilty regardless of facts. But to hear that "marijuana in his system plays an important role" burns my ass. It's misconceptions like this that will keep the safest drug known to man from ever being legal.

    Zimmerman was well within the wrong, Martin was in the wrong but with Florida law and the people in Florida you have to always be careful.

    When I was growing up I was harassed by neighborhood watch down here. They always had flashlights and announced themselves from distance.

    If I was walking home with someone stalking me unannounced and through my shortcuts my ass is gone, as I have been jumped and know of it happening quite frequently. They both made terrible decisions which lead to the outcome. With what evidence has been presented there is not enough to put him away for manslaughter.

    Good points. It's getting media attention because Zimmerman was originally believed to be white. So it was a white on black racist / hate crime right out of the gate. That's how all the outlet's portrayed it. They later came to find that he is Hispanic. That's why it's so big. Also the known ambulance chasers and racial instigators Jesse Jackson and Don King worked their asses off to make this case even more of a big deal. Bringing media attention, holding rallies, and all other kinds of shit.

    I think the primary reason that marijuana was highlighted is because he's underage. His side of the story and his advocates wanted you to believe he was a young, baby faced little kid, who simply went to buy an Arizona ice tea and some skittles on dark, rainy night. That was not the case though.

    I wonder if the jury will come to a decision today.

    Well, we are talking about SOUTHERN women. Below i have introduced as exhibit A a photo of said female. and why he may have a chance with the jury. On a serious note how many of these women have husbands who could have been Zimmerman?

    You also have to understand that THC affects people differently. And THC alters motor functions and state of mind. Had he not been high he may of just ran or said he was going home. Very possible.

    Also, no drug is safe anything in large doses can be lethal or serious health issues An example the blood thinner Coumadin is Warfarin( rat poison), in the wrong dose or higher does it can cause the blood to leak threw blood vessel walls.
    Smoking weed is one of the worse things a healthy person could do to themselves, smoking cigarettes and drinking are terrible too. I am a Bio-Major/Immunology, these drugs can cause a mutation of "p53" and several other co-factors at the very least. Your body has amazing things to combat these Toxins, however, faulty interphase/mitosis, even a viral infection can tax the immune system.

    I would like you to argue that THC does not change your state of mind or motor functions.



    And Zimmerman had a GUN because he has a CWP, which is our second amendment right to bear arms.
