WTF??? Have you bothered to look at a single fact about this case? Where in the police reports *from that night* does it say a word about 'John Doe'? They knew it was Trayvon Martin immediately, what they didn't know was how to reach his father, who wasn't at his Miami address that weekend.

And the lie that the Sanford PD were anything other than exhaustive in their collection of evidence has been disproven by the amount of it that was used at trial.
Where did all those crime scene photos and evidence bags (again from that night) come from if the police just walked away and didn't do their jobs?

WTF??? are you on about? There are various articles about the failures of the police (read the article, it details some of those failures) and the fact that Martin had no ID so was a "John Doe" for 3 days (even tho his father made a missing person report the next day).. sheesh.. [8|]

"Martin's body was left in the morgue for three days, classified as a "John Doe.""

Yeah really. Unless there is some critical information missing from the story, he should have been acquitted.

My friend I reject this type of thinking... no revolution or war against an established government will be won with Saturday night specials in the hands of the average untrained citizen...and to believe conceal and carry is a deterrent against a democratically elected government is foolishness.

I am not advocating the repeal of any Constitutional amendment...just the wise and responsible regulation of it.

Wow... weird... apparently he was denied the SYG defense...

Happens over 30% of the time, SYG is not the automatic thing many (not naming anyone in particular)  seem to think it is.

You are a white person. Do you realize how messed up it is to make this senseless murder about yourself or petty white person concerns?

Note to others: we can't change this level of self serving misguided thinking. It is as my first sentence suggested. To me it is an ugly glimpse into the soul of the republican base.
