However , once he made that decision , we might examine a little of what might have occurred , with a little logic .
Zimmerman is characterized by some as being a vigilante cowboy , but he didn't enter the potential ambush with gun drawn . This could point to his being(stupidly) blissfully unaware of any danger .

Essentially , he wasn't gunning for Martin .

You would have a very different scenario without the beating .
Had there not been a witness saying a beating occurred , I think I would also have difficulty believing Zimmerman's account , even with the displayed blood .

As it is , though I tend to agree with the jury , especially after all the extra info that has come out .

As I said , convince me .
How do you see it being played out , Spafranco ?

Bagwan, the simplest way I can put this as a human being with the ethical and moral sense to see that in this country as displayed by the previous commentator that the turpitude elicited says much about the value of certain types of people.

The same person can stand on his pedestal and be shocked and in awe at the commentary of some of us but then he has the audacity to tell you me and everyone else that it is none of your business.
Bagwan, that in essence is the why Zimmerman was killed, murdered and his killer no matter how many ways it is told saw a boogeyman and shot him for looking suspicious. The altercation resulted not by the actions of Trayvon Martin, but, by the actions of Zimmerman.
