Zimmerman trial starts

[dontworrybehappy]

Well, tell him to read my source that he asked for. He calls me stupid, which of course just makes him look like an idiot, after asking for something, getting it, and whining like a baby that I didn't do everything for him. I'm only trying to cite my source for my opinion. I did, and was called stupid. I do not take shit from anyone, at any time.

Yes I have. Prove them wrong.

The fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman took place on the night of February 26, 2012, in Sanford, Florida, United States. Martin was an unarmed 17-year-old African American. George Zimmerman, a 28-year-old multi-racial Hispanic American,[Note 1] was the appointed neighborhood watch coordinator for the gated community where Martin was temporarily staying and where the shooting took place.[3][4][5]
While in his vehicle on a personal errand, Zimmerman noticed Martin walking inside the community. Zimmerman called the Sanford Police Department to report Martin's behavior as suspicious, stating "This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something. It's raining and he's just walking around, looking about" and "looking at all the houses".[6][7] According to a police report, "there is no indication that Trayvon Martin was involved in any criminal activity at the time of the encounter".[8][9][10] While still on the phone with the police dispatcher, Zimmerman left his vehicle. After the phone call concluded, there was a violent encounter between Martin and Zimmerman. The encounter ended with Zimmerman fatally shooting Martin once in the chest at close range.[11][12][13][14][15][16]
When police arrived on the scene, Zimmerman told them that Martin had attacked him and that he had shot Martin in self-defense.[3] Zimmerman was bleeding from the nose and from two vertical lacerations on the back of his head. EMTs treated Zimmerman at the scene, after which he was taken to the Sanford Police Department. Zimmerman was detained and questioned for approximately five hours.[17][18][19] He was then released without being charged; at the time, police said they found no evidence to contradict Zimmerman's claim of self-defense.[18][20][21]

The bolded areas back up everything I said. If you want the sources, YOU go find them. They're all there.

Well, that's pretty easy. You stated as one of the facts a claim made by Zimmerman ("Zimmerman claims that the kid ran, doubled back, and attacked him after a short confrontation."). Clearly a claim made by the defendant is not an established fact. Clearly you are biased. Clearly you cannot with calm reason have a rational discussion of this subject.

Yes, what I stated are the facts of the case. It is a FACT that Zimmerman stated all the stuff I said. Those are the only known FACTS. You can have opinions, but that's all the are. And you extrapolated part of what I said, the next sentence is where I said that opinions can't be proven true or false, but since I said my opinion is that these are the FACTS as we know them as there is nothing to dispute it, I stand by those words, as nobody has proven them wrong.
