No common ground to build on? Only completely different opinions without the facts...Where is the remorse for the families involved? Why is this a hateful issue instead of a chance to learn from one another and try and help the future..No one is right here..Everyone should spend time reflecting on these conversations and the hard stances many have taken without compassion shown for the victims and our society as a whole..Is it our age? The fact we are set in our ways? I try every day to learn from others..Some is good and some not so much...As of now, No one and I mean No one knows the real facts..There have been a myriad of opinions and speculation as to what happened...I doubt that we will ever know the facts as they truly exist...The only real fact is there are a couple of families really hurting...And a lot of folks showing their bad sides..

some more background
 

The latest George Zimmerman: Prelude to a shooting - Yahoo! News

That's interesting but seems rather irrelevant to the issue of exactly what happened in the fight between Zimmerman and Martin.

It explains why Zimmerman was carrying a gun but not exactly why he felt he needed to use it.

Let's just wait and see what the facts in the case are, or least, what the most likely scenario the facts we can get put forth.

Finally
 

Finally, some objective reporting.

George Zimmerman's attorney, Mark O'Mara said in court today that $200,000 has been collected for his defense on his website. The judge is debating whether to raise or revoke his bond.

Apparently, Zimmerman's family raised the money on the website unbeknownst to George at the time of his bond hearing. http://news.yahoo.com/judge-consider...142526472.html

I found the Reuters background research highly informative. Living in that complex is certainly not for me!

It's really quite strange that, at last Friday's bond hearing, Zimmerman's family, including his wife, said they had no money. His father even testified he'd have to get a second mortgage on his house to post bond, and a week later $200,000 appears. Mark O'Mara just said on the news that he learned about the money on Wed of this week. This just doesn't pass the smell test.

What does not pass the smell test is Zimmerman being arrested on such an inane probable cause affidavit.

Now footnote 190.

Can you imagine who and where this money came from. Nuts,Kooks and KKK.

I guess I should donate something!

If they are still around I seriously doubt it came from the KKK since Zimmerman is part black. His great grandfather was Afro-Peruvian. Zimmerman was raised in part by this man's daughter, one of Zimmerman's grandmothers.

It's beginning to sound somewhat like his lawyer is regretting his decision to represent him and says that his credibility has taken a big hit since Zimmerman did know about the money last week at the time of the bond hearing and said nothing. This is what he told a CBS journalist or so the journalist said on the 6:30 news tonight. O'Meara (sp) already said that they may not go with the SYG defense...just self-defense. From that statement, I think he's not totally buying what Zimmerman's selling, just like the first detective didn't. JMHO

In any event, from what he was saying about his costs, pro-bono is not gonna happen. The lawyer has also taken control of the monies now and shut down the website.

Huh?
 

What basis do you have for that kind of statement?

Yes the KKK is still around.Very bad people.
