    Why have no profile from CNN on George Zimmerman.
    Really, all I hear is how he should be in jail – from the speakers. Plus,how the victim did nothing wrong...Tell us what we don't know about the Killer! Come on – it only took you guys a month, after the fact, to get the story. I wonder why!

    Zimmerman didn't stand his ground, he got out the car and went to Travon's ground which Travon could have felt theatenned and defended himself. And even after Zimmerman was on Travon's turf, he couldn't have felt fear of great bodily harm because it was Travon yelling for help.

    Its Sickening, A Coward couldn't even handle a little 17 year old without a gun. Thats how Bullies operate, find a smaller prey and use excessive force. As soon as zimmerman stepped out of his car, especially when authorities told him to stay in it, is ground, probable cause for him to be arrested. He had no reason to mess with Travon, he didn't see any weapon, he didn't see him breaking into anything; if anything he should have watched from the car and seen if any criminal activity was done and then called authorities.

    Senseless murder, period! Corruption in some states are just as bad as Mexico! Maybe that is why America's reputation is so tarnish internationally! Unfortunately, there are millions of unreported incidents as rotten as this one; and, American's have to wake up and get in the now zone.

    I think the shooter did it in cool blood, just liaison to the phone calls you can hear the poor child cry out and firing of the gun, that was intentional by the shooter !

    I am just sick over this shooting. He took away everything the boy will ever have. I think the man should be punished, but I am sure he will punish himself more that anyone could.
