Just based on what I saw on video today and the affadavit from the homicide detective whom is on record not buying Zimmerman's story there is about a 99% chance of indictment.

The sound analysis is the only thing up in question at this point.

This one time at the Spider-man 3 premiere this dude tried to steal Dairydead's seat, this is a true story people. They got into an argument, and almost a fight.

I say almost because dairydead shot him before it could that bad.

In the end he might have done him a favor considering the movie.

I think it's scary that you are so completely one-sided in this situation.

Wouldn't the metaphor of being a vigilante who takes the law into his own hands and engages (in the opinion of Spider-man) criminals against the advice of law enforcement apply more to Zimmerman?

Meh, the video simply shows a gash on the guy's head, and a cop stopping to look at it. Which is kind of consistent with what he claimed in the first place, but not conclusive IMO. Essentially, the video proves nothing one way or another. As for a homicide detective...well, they don't make those sorts of calls, that's for the DA. And there appear to be plenty of other cops who thought otherwise.

This whole thing smacks to me of a rush to hang the guy, then convict him, then give him a trial, then hold an investigation to find out if he actually did anything he should be tried for in the first place...in that order.

Reminds me of the Richard Jewell thing. As I recall, he was found guilty in the press and by pundits far and wide with no knowledge of the investigation except what the side out to get him wanted them to have. And yet we wasn't guilty at all. Not that it helped him much after being dragged through the mud by many of the same sources that are doing this to that Zimmerman guy. Instead of say waiting for an indictment followed by a trial, or a dismissal.

As I recall Jewell was acquitted, that means he was actually arrested, because one of his assailants, that means they were trying to mug him, was armed with a screwdriver.

Jewell had actual physical evidence, all this guy has so far is hearsay. Not so similar at all.

So being reactionary caused this whole case to become a tool for people to use for their own purposes.

Here's what it looks like. Zimmerman saw a black guy and got scared. He followed him when he was told not to. Trayvon realized this and confronted him. Zimmerman says he reached for his phone at this point. I'm guessing Trayvon thought he was pulling a weapon and beat up Zimmerman. Zimmerman pulls a gun and kills him.

All this is is an unfortunate series of events that lead to the death of a kid. Do I think Zimmerman should be arrested for murder? No. I do think that he should be arrested for something. Being a dumbass? Calling 911 for being scared of a black man? Not knowing where he was when calling 911? He still deserves some sort of punishment.

I hate that this is a partisan issue. I heard Hannity practically jerking off when the new facts came out. Look at this thread. GOSD and achilles and Snug are in the anti-Trayvon camp. Why is a racial issue an issue to divide down party lines (rhetorical question)?

Our society is a monster of the media's making, and this kind of division plays right into the plans of those in real power. Because when people are conditioned to believe there are always only two choices, two viewpoints, two sides, they'll never seek or find a third. Bleak, but the truth.

All this unrest, all this dissatisfaction, tea parties, occupy wall streets, and where is it directed? Always at each other.
