Yeah...great police work.

Trayvon Martin - 6'3" 140
George Zimmerman - 5'9" 250

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Trayvon_Martin

Are you aware the FBI, Federal Justice Department (Holder's) Civil Rights Division, an army of lawyers, and a pile of politicians are involved because.... yeah that's it... media PR, no facts, PR. You called it, bunkster. Did you notice the NBC reporter covering BO's news conference was told by a staffer to ask BO the Trayvon question when the confrerence ended? Do you know why? Guess. Guess some more.
And why do you suggest the Tray was a 150 pounds when you haven't a clue, no clue the Tray was trouble in the neighborhood before, no concern the 'help' cries were from the Zim, couldn't care less that on site statements and evidence the Zim had been hit more than once said no charge to be filed.
Will a Grand Jury investigation return no indictment allowing Big Al to call out the riot ready citizenry? Can you see BO calling for calm or issuing Marshal Law for truth and Justice? This is the escalation of unintended consequences when the not letting a good crisis go to waste happens.

We can allow some time on Wiki for adjustments in facts to occur.

Now, I don't necessarily agree with everything written in this article but it does shed a little more light on the situation, add a little perspective.

*this was on a friend of mine's Facebook, I didn't actively look for an article bashing the kid.

They are making Trayvon out like he was the student council president
and that Zimmerman was a "white" member of the K KK..
>>>>>>>>>>>>

I've not once heard Zimmerman even referred to as "white", what are you watching?

I think that even most liberals would agree Al Sharpton is a Charlatan and a media wh*#&. Doesn't mean he's on the wrong side of every issue. Typically when you have an Al Sharpton, a Mark Klass or someone like that getting involved in a situation like this it is because they know it gets them more media attention; that doesn't mean the cause is bad. I've actually been shocked at how little race has been mentioned in this case; I think people expect it to be more at the forefront but it really isn't, the controversial law is. It reads like a big racial tension type scenario but look at this again in six months or a year when Zimmerman is on trial and you'll see how right I am about this being more about the second amendment (because that is what the left really wants it to be about) and the controversial law. I really don't see a big racial element down the road, Zimmerman is mentally unstable and any racism existing here is secondary to his shaky grasp on reality.

"I've actually been shocked at how little race has been mentioned in this case; I think people expect it to be more at the forefront but it really isn't, the controversial law is"

Really ?

The Rev. Jesse Jackson said Friday that Martin's killing reflects "the classic struggle of our time" and said it echoes the slaying of Emmitt Till, a 14-year-old from Chicago who was murdered in 1954 while visiting Mississippi by a group of white men. No one was ever convicted, but Till's killing galvanized the civil rights movement.

It would have been all about race had Zimmerman been white and the same
thing happened, but now it is a gun issue.....and this law....
I feel Zimmerman was in the wrong, but Trayvon should not have called his
girl friend, he should have called the police....

My eyes rolled to the back of my head when you said "jesse jackson". Again, not discounting the racial element but you remember what I said and look at this again in six months to a year, the anti gun lobby is gonna make this about them and the second amendment.

I feel Zimmerman was in the wrong, but Trayvon should not have called his
girl friend, he should have called the police....
>>>>>>>>>>>

Good point, he probably didn't feel as threatened as he should have. From the way things sound so far though, I don't think a gun had been pulled at that point.

I understood that he told his girl friend that he was being followed
and that he was scared.....so many lessons to be learned from this
very sad out come....

It's 2:30 in the morning and you're getting the heck beat out of you by one of the Beautiful People? What time of night was it by the way?

I'm just glad that Mr. Zimmerman had the unfortunate results to take a few punches from the perp and yell for help before he filled him full of holes.

If you aren't a racist, and you hear Sharpton speak, ....you are in danger of becoming one.

In this instance though, we know who the shooter was, where he is & know the circumstance.

<39 People were shot in Chicago over the last few weeks>

Good lord that's insane.

Last few weeks? That happened over ONE WEEKEND. That's the Democratic voting block for you.

Did a white guy shoot this kid? That's what the MSM is making it out to sound like since this guy looks "white". Nevermind the fact that he is hispanic.

I'm still waiting for Obama to tell the South Side of Chicago to do some soul searching since they've got no problem shooting themselves year round. I guess if blacks shoot themselves, it's fine, but as soon as a black is shot by a "non-black", it's a news story. I see the New Black Panther Party is mobilizing. I wonder how Bucky is directing his local chapter during these times.

I've read that Trayvon attacked Zimmerman from behind. Apparently an eye witness saw Trayvon on top of Zimmerman wailing on him.

Personally I think people need to wait for the facts to come out before passing judgement and making it a race issue. Also, Trayvon wasn't this clean cut all american boy the media has made him out to be, showing his picture when he was 14 instead of his more recent pictures.

An arrest without a case definately means nothing. Not sure in Florida, but in Illinois.....

Once an offender is ARRESTED, you only have a certain number of hours to charge or release-usually 72 hours max. However, if the suspect comes in to be INTERVIEWED, which Zimmerman was, there is no time limit.

If the suspect gives an alibi, the police MUST break it, and that takes time. one way it can be done through locating witnesses, and having them come in to be intereviewed.

Evidence that was collected has to be worked up before any charges. That can take days, weeks or yes, even months.

THEN a State's Attorney (or District Attorney in C.S.I. speak) is brought in to review the case. It is the State's Attorney who then approves or rejects the charge for murder, not the arresting officer.

Once a person is arrested for murder, the suspect must go before a judge the following day for a bond hearing where the facts are presented to the judge. If there are still cracks in the investigation, the judge can release the suspect right then and there, so naturally the state wants the strongest case possible BEFORE that happens.

Everyone needs to take a deep breath with this case. I say bring in some assistance for the investigating department in case they do not have much experience with homicides.

Zimmerman will be charged with something, it's going to just take time.

Everything you said was not only common knowledge, but it sounded like you're working in media relations for the Sanford PD. The arrest should have been made by the cops on the scene, don't take my word for it, ask a cop his opinion. Detain, arrest, arraign, bail, trial. This is standard procedure throughout the country; the Sanford PD is at best, bad at their jobs and at worst, corrupt.

A agree with what you say to a point.....the point being that Trayvon had
a cell phone, he could and should have used it to call the police, had he
done that, I think the it would have turned out different....but what is the
difference, OJ was not even charged when they got him out of the car,
this happens often.... I know of a bar room fight where it was three weeks
before the man was charged and than he served six years for manslaughter.
In fact, I feel that this was not murder but manslaughter.....
