The poor judgment I am referring to is Zimmerman legally tailing Martin, then approaching him and questioning him in an assertive way. It is legal to do that but Zimmerman should have shown good judgment and not instigated a confrontation that he knew he could only settle with his gun. It’s like staring at a pair of big breasts, saying to her “nice rack” and she slaps you. Is she guilty of battery? No, not a chance, because you used poor judgment. It’s not legal for Martin to punch Zimmerman, but a reasonable person would have expected that.
I wonder how many of the “Not Guilty” crowd voted that way because they want to believe the lying, aggressive, wanna-be cop Zimmerman’s story. Or did they vote that way because they feel its payback time for the thugs of society?

Not to punch a bunch of holes in your theory but.
Zimmerman had no way of knowing that he would have to use his gun, his neighborhood had been overrun by zero's breaking into many houses, how was he to know crayon was going to bash his head against the road and break his nose.
Its nothing like looking at cleavage , see its only sexual harassment if they DONT think your cute, otherwise they should cover up if they dont want to be stared at, i promise, if i yank the tip of my boxers out of my fly everyones eyes will be drawn there to.
Your last question is kinda weak as well, im sure there are many reasons why people voted the way they did.
Myself, i voted that way because someone has to stand up to the wicked hyperbole of the liberal media, the only times they state facts is by accident, who knows how much we dont know , and never will.You sure are cocky for a starving pilgrim.

I cast my vote for manslaughter. Didnt know whether to choose involuntary or not.
I dont believe zimmerman set out to waste another human being that night but I believe he was very careless and reckless in his actions and that led to lamonts death.
I also wish Zimmerman could be charged with being a coward....because that is what he truly is....
Hes the coward of whatever county he lives in..........

logic does not hold
Following that logic, Zimm would have drawn his weapon to protect himself from ambush or hold the suspect for the cops. Since there is no evidence of his pursuing with his weapon drawn, one could conclude he did not anticipate encountering the suspect but was curious where the kid went and what he was up to. I have been in many tense situations where violence was anticipated and I can assure you that when I was off duty, I had a weapon at the ready and while on duty as a paramedic, the cops had their weapons drawn or a hand on the grips. You don't go into the Valley Of Death with your weapon in its case unless you are a moronic sheep looking to get slaughtered.
Most people who carry do not go hunting trouble. They carry for 'defense'--not 'offense'. Generally, when people go on the offense, they have their weapon at the ready whether hunting deer or people.
You also ASSume Zimm 'approached' Martin, which implies again hunting. How do you know he didn't 'stumble' onto him or get ambushed? You don't.Keep the fire inside the fireplace.

And you base your opinion on what Somedude....... You cant trust zimmerman because he has no way to back up his story.....he killed a man and he is going to say anything he has to in order to keep from going to jail.
I dont care if zims neighborhood was overrun by hoodlums.... he still should have called the police....like he had done before and waited for them to respond.
There is no reason in this world that trayvon should be dead... I know he is a black kid that smoked pot and to many americans that is a good reason.....but in the real world it was just another wrongfull death.
He saw a lone vulnerable kid walking thru his hood......he fiqured it would make a nice story to tell at his criminal whatever school..... he did something stupid and ended up killing an innocent person....
He needs to be punished for it just because he wont learn his lesson from his stupid mistakes unless he is punished in some form.
If he gets away with it he will probably be out here standing outside 7-11s popping every black kid he sees.
Anyhow.... none of us know the true facts of this case because we are never going to have two sides of the story to judge the facts from.
Zimmermans fate is in the hands of the legal system and that means if his lawyers are better than the prosecution...he will walk...... If his lawyers are a couple of dumbasses then he is going to jail.
Thats what justice is in america..... good lawyers set you free....bad lawyers get you put away.
Evidence and facts mean nothing in a court of law when it all comes down to it.
We saw that with OJ.....

I can see that you like good lawyers corny because you must need them with all those fights you start. I'm also surprised that you are still breathing since in right to carry states you can get blown away for that just like your buddy Trayvon there.
It's unfortunate that Trayvon had to learn his lesson the hard way. Right now it is Zimmerman that we should be concerned about here. Don't want to see him hung out to dry on the alter of PC and mob rule.
You should ask your good neighbors what they think about it. My relatives in Tennessee see it Zimmerman's way. Thank you, thank you very much"I could have ended the war in a month. I could have made North Vietnam look like a mud puddle."
