Under the new law, a person is allowed to use deadly force if he is in a place he has a right to be and feels reasonably threatened with serious harm.

This law is messed up and needs to change.

I encounter many creepy weird people everyday, but that doesn't give me the right to shoot them. Self-defense means where you're threatened by FORCE, not by LOOKS. Or should I say "by the color of their skin."

This pisses me off.

If this law was passed everywhere in the world, millions would die everyday. You don't even know how many people I see that look suspicious and/or just weird/creepy, but they probably are just that way.

Not the trash man not being able to pick up trash in trash day.

This is too stupid. Not bothering the police because you spotted a black trash man. And the police still use this guy.

Shameless racist mess.

Sanford, Fla., Police Chief Bill Lee is "temporarily" resigning amid widespread criticism of his department's handling of the Trayvon Martin case, he announced moments ago.
"My role as the leader of this agency has become a distraction for this organization," Lee said at a press conference Thursday afternoon. "It is apparent that my involvement in this matter is overshadowing the process. I have come to the decision that I must temporarily remove myself from the position of police chief of the city of Sanford."
Sanford City Manager Norton Bonaparte Jr. said in a letter released Wednesday evening that police were "prohibited" from arresting George Zimmerman, who had confessed to shooting Martin, "based on the facts and circumstances they had at the time." Zimmerman told local police he acted in self-defense.
Sanford police have been criticized for not conducting an alcohol or drug test on Zimmerman, as is standard practice in a homicide probe, among other alleged missteps. And a witness has said that a law enforcement officer "corrected" her when she said she heard Martin screaming for help. Lee had emerged as a focal point of the criticism.
Zimmerman, a white Hispanic, was patrolling the streets of a gated community in Sanford on Feb. 26, when he spotted Martin and told a police dispatcher that a "black male" was acting "suspicious." Zimmerman, 28, ignored a warning from the dispatcher not to pursue Martin, and a violent confrontation ensued, leaving Martin dead.

Give him the pink slip.

This case reminds me of Oscar Grant who was another unarmed black male shot by the police in Oakland, California in 2009.


I'm watching the justice rally of Trayvon Martin.

"14. The officer in charge of the crime scene also received criticism in 2010 when he initially failed to arrest a lieutenant’s son who was videotaped attacking a homeless black man. "

the trash needs to get sentenced FOR LIFE and the officer needs to get fired.

Fox’s Geraldo Rivera Blames Hoodie For Trayvon Martin’s Death

This morning on Fox and Frends, Fox contributor Geraldo Rivera remarked, “I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin’s death as George Zimmerman (his killer).” While he agreed that Zimmerman “should be prosecuted,” Rivera also blamed Trayvon’s parents for letting him go outside wearing a hooded sweatshirt.

WTF!
Blaming the victim & his parents...really? What a disgusting person.

[Cap10Planet]

Yeah, because wearing a hoodie is such a crime...

A hoodie probably gives off a stupid stereotype, but that doesn't excuse the man from killing a kid. Period. And the parents shouldn't be blamed for this. What a sad case.

[Igrt]

I'm so glad I DON'T live anywhere NEAR this fool tbh.Everything just gets sadder and sadder.

George Zimmerman (to me) is trash! Never have I seen such stalker-ish,racist,just plain awful behavior.

[InLoveWithKaty]

****ing racist?

[FAME.]

Apparently this police cheif and department has been involved in racial predjudice within cases before.

The police chief in 2011, Brian Tooley, was forced from office after the son of a lieutenant was caught on camera beating up an unsuspecting homeless black man, but whom the department declined to prosecute. After the footage went viral on YouTube, the perpetrator, Justin Collison, was arrested.[53][54][55] The officer in charge of that case was also the one in charge of the Trayvon Martin shooting scene.[14] In 2005, two parking lot security guards, one the son of a Sanford police department veteran and the other a volunteer for the department, shot a black teen, Travares McGill, in the back, killing him. They claimed self-defense, and the case was dismissed in court.
