I continue to admit freely that none of us have all the facts.
Going simply from Zimmerman's account, though, I maintain that he was the victim in the incident. If what he says is true, he was the victim of an unjustified deadly assault, and acted appropriately.

I'm just curious how much of your opinion was spoon fed to you by the crap the media gave us in the beginning. If they had posted TM's switter pictures and GZ's current ones would there have been any outcry beyond the black community. Which for right or wrong legitimized this whole case to most of America? If we had been presented with the reason TM was suspended from school with as much regularity in the beginning as we were presented with the fact that GZ "assaulted a cop" years earlier in the beginning would there be the same outrcry?
Polls suggest that most americans do not believe GM is guilty of murder, but when you look at the actual numbers a different picture emerges. Most blacks believe GZ is guilty of murder. 33% of all americans believe GZ is guilty. But only 15% think he is innocent. That means the rest think like many of us do. We don't know what happened and are reserving judgement until the facts are presented. That disturbs me as that means only about 50% of people are willing to let due process run its course.

That was my post and once again you've misrepresented it. Do you distort the truth intentionally, or do you have reading comprehension challenges?

Fine. Here are two of your posts in their entirety. Feel free to clarify them for us. I'll let your clarifications go without comment.

"What would he need to be casing the neighborhood? "

Honestly, none.
Whether he was suspended from school is irrelevant. Especially since it appears that it was for a small amount of pot in his backpack.
"That means the rest think like many of us do. We don't know what happened and are reserving judgement until the facts are presented. That disturbs me as that means only about 50% of people are willing to let due process run its course"
And what have I done in this thread other than say it should be in front of a jury?
I don't think Zimmerman acted out of racism, I don't even know if he knew Martin's race before it all went down.
My gut is that Zimmerman is a dumb-ass cop wannabe that got himself in way over his head and now a kid that was doing nothing wrong is dead.

Posting them completely out of the context in which they were written further confirms that you are purposefully distorting the truth.

But Martin DID confront him. And THEN he (according to Zimmerman, and I think witnesses) curbed him.
Not sure what you're getting at here. It doesn't contradict anything vitus said, as far as I can tell.

I have nothing against you whatsoever other than I think at least two of your posts on this topic are way over the top and disturbing. Especially this one, "
Given Martin's history, it is within reason to suspect that his actions were less than an innocent candy run. "
There is nothing in Martin's history that I have seen that would lead me to believe he was doing anything other than going to the convenience store.
Your second post was taken in the context of the first.
If I have misinterpreted them I would love to hear why I should think differently.
