He may own others, but right now he is in jail so clearly he does not have one in his possession

He said he thought Trayvon was close to his age, yet in the 911 tape he calls Trayvon a teen.

15. He's trying to make it sound like he didn't fight with a kid but fought with an adult.

Yet he identified Trayvon as a teen when he first saw him. Busted on this one. Now, I'm suspicious of every word coming out of his mouth as a lie.

16. he also says he didn't know if he was armed or not

so shouldn't he have waited for the police to come?

FTR, his apology is so weak and convoluted. He can't even remember if he said he was sorry or not.

4. he does have a history of helping a homeless man

who also was black. That is being used to prove he is not racist.

There will be facts that come out that do not support the Zimmy is a racist meme. That does not mean that he didn't murder Trayvon, it just says racism is not the motive.

5. He could have done all these things but so what.

On that night he was just a racist vigilante, armed with a gun who hunted down a young black kid, simply because the kid was back and he killed him.

Does the fact that he may have done some decent things in his life have any bearing on the fact that he took an innocent life. Does that bring any comfort to the victim's family. I sincerely doubt it.

7. Listening to this bond hearing and as much as I want Zimmerman to go to jail for what he did

It sounds like the prosecutor has done a piss poor job of putting together a case against Zimmerman. Have they seriously just taken the word of others and put them down in the indictment as their primary case for 2nd degree murder? "The mother said it was the voice of her son" and so that's all the proof they needed? They need to get it together or this case will be over quickly and a murderer will walk free.

Zimmy was trying to track him down, in order to offer tutoring services to Trayvon.

Just after shooting Trayvon, Zimmy was heard saying to him, "Are you sure you don't need a mentor?"
