next to his vehicle ... where he planned to meet the repsonding police ... yep, it is possible.
You say this so matter of factly in the middle of your rant...I almost missed it. But you do know that the confrontation happened in the backyard where there was a concrete walking path behind a house, right? It wasn't within 50 yards of the street. Look at the police report decription of the two addresses where they found Martin's body. Then google map those two addresses. Their backyards are adjacent to each other.
It was nowhere near Zim's car.
Ugh. The guy wasn't racist. Last year he got on the police about trying to cover up their beating of a homeless black man.

Trial hasn't even started and already the defense is lying to the court.
Zimmerman's defense team stated during an April court hearing that Zimmerman's "family members misinformed the court (the state would use a much stronger and accurate word to describe what occurred -- defendant's wife lied to the court) about defendant and his family's finances," Corey wrote in court papers.

SHOCKED, I am shocked I tell you!
You mean to tell me that the nice young man defending his neighborhood is the type of person to tell a lie!

PORT CANAVERAL --
A termination hearing Friday will decide whether a Port Canaveral police officer will lose his job over allegations he brought targets resembling Trayvon Martin to a gun range.
Sgt. Ron King was terminated by Port Canaveral’s police chief last Friday. He released a videotaped statement on Youtube late Saturday evening.
The incident happened at the Sheriff's Farm gun range near Interstate 95 in Cocoa on April 4.
King was leading a target practice with two other Port Canaveral police officers and another civilian port employee, according to port Canaveral Interim CEO John Walsh.
Walsh said King brought out the targets with a picture resembling Martin and asked the other officers if they wanted to use the picture for target practice.
The officers declined, and told King to put the picture back into his patrol car. They were all on duty that day.
In the YouTube video, King said he and the Trayvon Martin family were being used as pawns to further political agendas in the police department.
"I am being accused of using a Trayvon Martin silhouette target for firearms training in a manner that is less than professional. I take these allegations seriously and I find that others are accusing me of something that I just plain did not do," King said.

There's something really sad about a grown-ass man posing with a gun like a kid playing cops and robbers in the backyard.

Some racist follows an unarmed 17-year-old African American boy. The boy buys candy and iced tea at a convenience store and continues walking home. The neighborhood watch scumbag stalks the boy, murders him with a gun, and then claims he was acting under Florida's stand your ground law, which states that a person can defend himself from an attacker rather without fearing legal prosecution.
The law was intended so that victims of violent crimes like rape, robbery, and attempted murder could fight back without risking prosecution. It was not intended to give a person the right to pro-actively engage someone in battle, and if you win -- which isn't hard when your armed with a gun and the other person is a minor with no weapons -- then you get away with murder. However, the police didn't arrest the murderer. After all, the victim did look suspicious. He had suspicious skin tone.

And that is why I hate social conservatism. A boy with his entire life ahead of him, snuffed out because of some stupid reptilian xenophobia.
