Since we have few fervent Zimmerman defenders here, it's time for a poll...

Do you or do you not think that Trayvon Martin was an innocent person who should not been chased around the dark by an armed and highly suspicious George Zimmerman?

If you do think that Martin should have been chased by Zimmerman, why should he have been?

Furthermore even if you believe Zimmerman and trayvon attacked him Zimmerman looks like a big guy and able to defend himself without a gun. More over if I was Trayvon I probably would be ready to fight guy follows me around than gets out of his suv sorry that means your looking to start shit.

Zimmerman misjudged the situation because of his overaggressive need to be a hero, he stalked and assassinated a young innocent teenager.
George Zimmerman, I hope you rot in jail!
