>> *Mr. Zimmerman consistently profiled young black males.[See 911 calls]. While many of the 911 calls seemed unnecessary, perhaps he believed that to be his responsibility in the neighborhood watch program. Relatively few made reference to skin color and most were simple reports of “White older model four-door Buick or Oldsmobile” obstructing road" or Zimmerman reports “trash in roadwy”. >> Mr. Zimmerman pursued Mr. Martin despite the fact 911 and neighborhood watch rules told him to desist and stay back. Nothing, whatsoever, to do with his guilt or innocence. >> made assumptions about Mr. Martin based on his age, and race and not what he was doing. No evidence of this. >> an adult athletic male, outweighed Mr. Martin, a scrawny still developing teen, by at least 40 lbs. Again, irrelevant. >> was armed with a gun and had the advantage. Mr. Martin was unarmed. And that has exactly WHAT to do with whether it was murder or self-defense? >> injuries are minor and not life threatening........they certainly did not warrant using a gun. This is idiotic. If you are engaged in a fight and your head is being slammed into the concrete, you have been punched in the face, any normal person is going to try to defend himself. Because you do not know what's coming next. You could be dead with the next blow. You are so bound up in your racism that you literally don't have good sense.
