    Do what you do and get what you get. How dare a black teenager walk around his fathers neighborhood. Probably looking for some white woman to rape and rob. If only he had dreadlocks to seal the deal that he was a bad apple. Mr. Mallninja is in a **** load of trouble if this guy really was a gangbanger as I am sure with his name and general location out there, a drive-by may be in order.

    I myself have been suspended from middle school for a week at a time that doesn't mean that I should have been shot no matter what my parents thought, no matter where in public I was walking. I cann't see how this guy will not be charged eventually with something.

    Unless someone is in danger a neighborhood watch captain should do exactly that just watch and report.

    Made 10 percent of the 911calls for an entire subdivision,that sounds a little gung ho and over the top by itself.

    If Florida doesn't prosecute, look for pressure on the US Attorney to file a civil rights suit.

    Just sayin'...

    It's become a media lynching like the Tawana Brawley and Duke lacrosse episodes, totally driven by racial politics.

    Yep, game over for this guy. What is scarey is that now the liberal media is calling into question Castle Doctrine.

    Five years after Florida's Stand Your Ground law was enacted, a 2010 review by the St. Petersburg Times found that reports of justifiable homicides had tripled, and a majority of cases were excused by prosecutors or the courts.

    U.S. News - Justice Department, FBI to probe shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin


    Notice that they used the term "Justifiable Homicides." While technically accurate (Homicide = killing another human being) it no doubt was worded intentially to paint as killers those who refuse to retreat and instead defend themselves, rather than someone that refuses to be a victim and uses deadly force to defend themselves. Semantics, yes...but there is a clear difference between self defence and murder.

    This guy most likely crossed that line. Hopefully the courts will find the issue was not with the law in this case, but with the one that broke the law.

    Says Zimmerman's father:
    George Zimmerman is Hispanic and grew up in a multiracial family, the statement says.

    "He would be the last to discriminate for any reason whatsoever ...," the letter says. "The media portrayal of George as a racist could not be further from the truth."
    Sorry Pop, the media and politically correct bobbing heads have already painted him lily white and motivated solely by racial animus. Reality is now irrelevant. Get the rope.

    The scary thing is if the shooters were reversed, if Martin has shot Zimmerman, it would have been a completely clean shoot. Confronted and attacked by an unknown stranger while you're walking home. THAT is self defense.

    Interesting that only now, after the activists are frustrated that they cannot manufacture charges against this guy, a "witness" emerges after all this time. This case is taking on all the aura of Democrats manufacturing votes on election day when they find out they're 700 short......

    All of you posting above who seem to think you know what happened that night.....all you really know is what the liberal media, who desperately needs this case to be sensationalized for their ratings (read $$$), want you to know.

    "Confronted and attacked by an unknown stranger while you're walking home...." Take the media rings out of your noses, guys. You don't know squat about what happened. There were only 2 people on Earth who do and only 1 of them is now alive. If you can't evaluate and parse what you are fed by the liberal, sensationalist media, you're better off not listening to them at all.

    Very good point ... but how much you wanna bet the young man would have been immediately arrested.
