There is so much misinformation about this case that it is difficult to know if anything is true or not.

so when the girlfriend on the cellphone heard shouts for help before the gunshots they weren't Trayvor's shouts, they were Zimmerman's?....

One article stated that the father listened to the tapes when they were investigating and said the shouts of help were not from Trayvon.
I hate stuff like this. We don't have all the information, we wind up with guesses. Is Zimmerman being sacrificed on the alter of politically correct? I don't know.
I do know that if Zimmerman had followed the rules and training of the neighborhood watch organization, both of them would be alive now.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

What if he really was defending himself but is destined for arrest due to the political environment? Would it be justice or sacrifice?
Again, I don't know. I hope, if he is arrested, he gets a fair jury. And I hope that some day we might actually know the truth.

So it's just P.C. nonsense for a guy who stalked, shot and killed a 17 year old kid armed with Skittles and an Arizona Iced Tea to be arrested? In any sane world, that's what would happen, but under the dumbass Florida law he'll probably skate.
We know enough of the truth to know that Zimmerman ought to be in fucking jail.
All of which I think I've covered previously. Other than the "you shouldn't be able to shoot someone dead for hitting you" thing, because you absolutely can use hands to "bless" somebody with lethal force. Both of them have a right to defend themselves, and I have repeatedly stated that had Zimmerman followed the rules and training of the neighborhood watch program Trayvon would be alive, but I do not believe that it is against the law not to follow their rules, just a bit stupid. Hence, I think negligent homicide would be the likely charge.

I don't think he'll skate, I just don't think he'll be facing charges that he may face in other states.
Not really, we know enough of what one side has said to think it is an "outrage" that he isn't in jail, but we haven't heard the cops' side of things and may be surprised by information that isn't being provided at this time. I don't know what information it could be, as I am with you. I've wondered several times how he wasn't arrested that night, even if he was released later after investigation. People shouldn't die without some thorough investigation. People count.We know enough of the truth to know that Zimmerman ought to be in fucking jail.
