you have only Zimmerman's word that he was attacked and his account of the incident is not credible for the reason's already described. As to Zimmerman's so -called injuries, I have been hurt worse getting scratched by my cat.

P.S. Michael, I didn't address the *most people who think like you* issue. To me, Trayvon was a *hot headed* kid that made a real big mistake. Kind of stupid to attack people these days, especially with so many *right to carry* permits granted in so many states. That is what those permits are intended for, to protect yourself against assault with intent to kill or do great bodily harm. One more slam of Zimmerman's head against concrete could have killed or caused brain damage. He had every moral right to draw his weapon and use it at that point.As I believe Judy mentioned earlier, nobody is a winner here, but Zimmerman did walk away with his life on Feb 26, 2012 and his freedom last night. His life will be affected till he dies and Trayvon's parents will have to live with burying their child, something no parent should have to do.

What makes you think Zimmerman didn't have the knowledge of how to use his weapon? He obviously kept it holstered until the last possible moment,drawing it only after multiple slams of his head against cement and according to his account, only after Trayvon noticed it and reached for it.Nothing wrong with wanting to be a cop or pursuing that as a career. Both Zimmerman and Trayvon had every right to what they were doing up to the point of assault. Trayvon had every right to walk in the neighborhood in which he was a guest and Zimmerman had every right to be on a neighborhood watch team. Zimmerman had every right to report to police a person he had never seen before in his neighborhood due to the numerous burglaries in the past and his position in a neighborhood watch program. <BTW, I do know how to use guns , have had several since I was a kid. Currently, I don't have any. Would love to have a Bushmaster AR15 though but that would just be a thousand dollars just sitting in a closet and I don't feel threatened. The only hunting I do is with Peregrine falcons and a Spinoni. It's kind of fun orchestrating the keen sense of smell of the dog and the eye site and speed of the falcon. More ranchers and farms are willing to let you hunt on their land under those circumstances.

Most of the people who think like you do don't give a sit about Martin because they think of him as a nigger, plain and simple. If anyone distorted the "facts" it was Zimmerman and his defense team, Martin was breaking no laws and had every right to be where he was, harming no one. Zimmerman had a history of looking for trouble, constantly calling the cops, real cops mind you, about "suspicious characters" in his area - he went looking for trouble and he created the trouble.

Yes, Trayvon might be alive today..... and Zimmerman might be dead. Zimmerman was found not guilty by reason of *self defense*. Zimmerman never broke any law. Trayvon broke the law the moment he assaulted Zimmerman. For you to say Zimmerman didn't know how or when to use a firearm is irresponsible. I would assume in Florida, as in Texas, he had a permit to carry, which is given only after receiving training, which would include use and legality of when it could be used. The Sanford police department chose not to prosecute Zimmerman because of the circumstances and the law. Political pressure was applied until charges were brought and a million dollars thrown down the drain. The media lied about the facts, building false hopes of *justice*. MSNBC would have you think Zimmerman tracked, hunted down and shot, in cold blood, a poor innocent teenager simply because he was black and looked out of place. The young man that is dead is dead because of his own poor decisions. If Trayvon had to confront Zimmerman, all he needed to do is ask "Why are you following me"? He could have explained that he was a guest visiting his father and future step- mother and he was staying at the specific address he was at. That would have defused the whole situation. Simple communications. Instead, Trayvon attacked Zimmerman, who took a lot before using deadly force to stop it. I think Trayvon may have had marijuana induced paranoia.

As someone who has used .22's, .38's, .357 Magnums and has fired my brothers SKS and his model 1894 Winchester (and others) I say that ownership of firearms here in the US is an unfortunate necessity for many, but one should know when and how to use them. I do. Zimmerman doesn't and a young man is dead because of Zimmerman's stupidity. He should be in jail tonight.

Bhairitu, you are a victim of what the media has been trying to convince everyone of, that Zimmerman followed Trayvon AFTER he was told not to. He followed him and THEN was told not to when 911 heard him out of breath. They said "we don't need you to do that". He stopped and said OK and lost sight of Trayvon. He then walked down a walk way to get an address to give dispatch so police would know the exact location. On his way back to his car, Trayvon jumped out and asked Zimmerman if he had a problem. Zimmerman said "no, I don't have a problem" and Trayvon said "now you do" and sucker punched him in the nose, knocking him to the ground, jumping on him and pinning him down, pounding Zimmerman with his fists and banging his head on concrete. The evidence is in Zimmerman's injuries to his face, back of his head, grass and water on his back and eyewitnesses who saw Trayvon on top of him. The media has been less than honest with this case and has tried to deceive people early on. NBC was even caught editing 911 calls to make Zimmerman look as if he were racially profiling. "He looks black" was only said AFTER 911 dispatch had asked for the race of the suspect. Before that, Zimmerman had not mentioned race in his call to 911.< As I've said earlier, this was meant to start the *great race dialog* the nation was supposed to have, the one that was intended with Louis Gates. Remember when the President said "I don't know the facts, but the police acted stupidly". "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon". God, I hope not. The media keeps trying to set- up the racial dialog but it keeps backfiring in their faces.

He needs to get to a TM check. Fact is even some conservatives don't feel that Zimmerman should have followed Martin and should have followed what the police dispatcher told him to do. Zimmerman is too much like the "cowboy cops" that many conservatives disdain.
