Now the other side of the story is being told but only after the lynch mobs have been formed. It appears the photo of the kid is 4 years old, when he was thirteen. Martin was much bigger at the time of the shooting. Zimmerman apparently did stop following but Martin decided to escalate the issue and assaulted the shooter, breaking his nose and slamming his head into the ground. Apparently there are witnesses. The media played the public again.
Here's one of the articles. Stephanopolous is an ass.

you'd best believe there's a big civil suit coming manslaught at the least
Not taking sides or thinking I have all the facts its just the media has a poor track record separating gossip, opinions and facts. Cut and dried racially motivated shooting, right? ... but no arrest? ... very fishy. The story reeked of the Duke Lacrosse team rape accusation and the attempted media lynching that followed it. ...and the Richard Jewel media lynching, Tawanna Brawley gang rape ... and so on. That's my take on this.
While all the ins & outs of this case have yet to be brought to light, here is one solid fact to remember that this case reinforces: If you carry a firearm, either personally or professionally, you need to have training in judgement shooting, legal aspects of armed self defense and an attorney (competent in self defense law) on retainer.
^--- Times 10. I believe in being able to be armed, but it is a hell of a responsibility and not everyone is "right" for it. I would really like to know more about the shooter's "fitness" for being an armed security guard. I also don't have a problem with making it tougher to be an armed security guard, neighborhood watch dude, etc.
I Hope Justice also investigates Spike Lee. Stupid fvck tweeted out what he thought was George Zimmermanns home address so he could be harrassed. Instead he gave out and elderly couples address who have to leave their home due to the Hoody brigades vigilantism

He will get a pass LD, watch and see.^^
I am leery to mention anything that I heard or read on this case. There is so much spin going around. In regards to this, it was mentioned that the neighborhood watch had to be unarmed. Seems Zimmerman was on the way to the store when someone called him or he was informed of the presents on Martin in the neighborhood. The article stated that absolved Zimmerman form carrying that night. He was not a security guard. Neighborhood watch are very common through out the states. They are volunteers who live in that neighborhood.
Video of Zimmerman being taken into custody following the shooting has been leaked. It blows apart his entire 'i was fighting for my life' angle because he has no injuries and his clothes arent in disarray. His case is looking as solid as a swiss cheese
The video is low res.

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57406183/video-shows-zimmerman-without-obvious-injuries/The Orlando Sentinel, citing anonymous sources, has reported that Zimmerman told police that Martin grabbed his head and banged it several times against the sidewalk. A statement from Sanford police said the newspaper's story was "consistent" with evidence turned over to prosecutors.
