The politics of hoodie wearing

Except Zimmerman's testimony starts to fall apart if you believe that. He claimed he was walking back to his vehicle when Martin approached him.

What is interesting is when Zimmerman claims he was trying to get away from Martin. Zimmerman's back would have been to his vehicle according to his testimony. Instead of retreating toward his vehicle, Zimmerman's testimony is that in attempting to get away from Martin he went almost 30 feet in the direction that Martin would have been blocking. Why didn't Zimmerman head toward his vehicle if he was trying to get away from Martin? Zimmerman knew police would be arriving at his vehicle.

Nice. If I were on trial, I would surely like to have the jury be on a first name basis with me, too.

Oh so you would had feel better if she ID Zimmerman as Zimmerman instead of George and how about the fact that she used Trayvon first name not Martin also?
Seems she prefer first names and you are so short of things to try to discredit the jury verdict that you need to focus on her used of both of their first names?

Clearly you haven't looked at the map or the video of Zimmerman's testimony if you make such claims.

Zimmerman was on a sidewalk that was a cut across to the other street. That sidewalk was where he claimed he used to find a street sign on the next street over. That sidewalk was where he claimed Martin confronted him. That sidewalk led directly back to his car.

There was another sidewalk 90 degrees to the sidewalk that went behind the houses. Martin was killed 30 feet down that sidewalk. It was not on the way to the other street. It was not on the way back to Zimmerman's car from looking for a street sign.

But now you are arguing that Zimmerman was tailing Martin.

Do you bother to check your contradictions?

You simply change the story more than Zimmerman.

According to the map, he was nowhere near any such place.

Yes, it is legal in Florida to shoot an unarmed person.

If only Florida kept the same standard for everyone

I think I just did only you can't seem to see it.

More than a year after an FBI report indicated there was no evidence of racial bias in George Zimmerman's history, the Justice Department is trolling for email tips on the former neighborhood watch volunteer as it weighs a possible federal civil rights case against him.
Amid pressure from the NAACP and several Democratic lawmakers to pursue Zimmerman, the department has set up a public email address asking for any tips or information regarding the case. The move appears to mark an expansion of the probe, after Attorney General Eric Holder said in an address Tuesday to the NAACP that his department would "consider all available information" before deciding whether to move forward.
The department also held a conference call with civil rights leaders on Monday.
The conference call included DOJ officials, along with representatives from the FBI and federal prosecutors. They spoke to civil rights leaders from Sanford, Fla., as well as others from around the country.
The call was convened by Tom Perez, assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division.
A Justice official told Fox News that both the conference call and the email address asking for tips and information are fairly standard procedure when dealing with a high-profile investigation such as this one. The department has used such tip lines in the past, including in a probe last year of the Albuquerque, N.M., police department.
Some attorneys and analysts have cautioned that Holder would have a difficult time bringing a civil rights case against Zimmerman, particularly since the investigation so far is thought to have turned up no evidence or claims that Zimmerman exhibited racial bias. Martin was black.
But other lawmakers appear to have already made up their mind.
"We do know that Mr. Martin's civil rights have been violated," Rep. Corrine Brown, D-Fla., said, as other members of the Congressional Black Caucus voiced similar views.
Holder has meanwhile gone beyond pursuing the investigation in the wake of the acquittal. On Tuesday, he also criticized "stand-your-ground" laws, which allow individuals to use lethal force when they believe their lives are in danger -- even if they have the option of fleeing.
The NRA criticized Holder for the comments, saying self-defense is a "fundamental human right."
Holder also, in his address to the NAACP, recounted his own past experiences with racial profiling.

According to Zimmerman's video testimony to police he WAS. Are you telling us Zimmerman lied to the police?

The map shows a T in the sidewalk. Zimmerman walked across the top of that T to the far street, then walked back across it and was accosted by Martin when on that sidewalk. According to Zimmerman he was on that top of the T when the dispatcher told him to stop following Martin. He then somehow ended up 30 feet down the other sidewalk when he shot Martin.

Yes, it is legal in Florida to shoot an unarmed person.

Perhaps you can tell us all why it should not be legal
to used deadly force to stop an unarmed man from killing you.

It's legal to shoot someone and kill them. It's not legal if you don't shoot and kill them.

Yes, or a rapist cawt in flagrante delicto.

You seem to be obsessed with killing something. But I am sure your only obsessed with your second constitution rights. Right?

No. I was complying with a request for speculation. My speculation is in no way a Statement Of Absolute Truth. It is merely speculation. That someone's claims differ with my speculation should not be considered evidence that their statements are untrue.

According to my speculation, he was already in that back yard when he broke off his pursuit.
