I have only posted my personal opinions and observations, not the political or media hype. I just think that GZ had no right to appoint himself judge, jury, and executioner that night.
Getting out of his car and then not following the advice of the dispatcher was not his big mistake. He could have met them at his car, as he originally said he would, and then taken them up the path indicating where he last saw him.

If both parties were black there would be no trial, if both were white there would be no trial. That's about as political as you can get.
Following the advice of the dispatcher? He didn't even have to call the dispatcher. He lived in those apartments, he paid rent for the apartment, his property was in those apartments. There had been numerous break-ins, home invasions and burglaries, as a tenant what would you do?
Tryavon Martin was a guest in his father's apartment. It was dark, it was raining, and he was strollling along between the apartments without a care in the world. His father was as much to blame as anyone for allowing this behavior. George Zimmerman was doing exactly as what I would do in that exact situation. He was checking his neighborhood. Trayvon was the aggressor, he instigated the fight when he jumped George and had the upper hand, he didn't realize that law biding citizens have the right to carry a concealed weapon and he paid the price.
