George Zimmerman's criminal records revealed

An empty bag of marijuana?
I think that those who suspended him for a week due to an empty bag of marijuana should be suspended definitely in all education matter.
I think it is a shame to continue to harass people for marijuana when we know, actually since the beginning, that marijuana is just an healthy and non violent substitute for alcohol, which injure and kill so much people every week!

I feel as though this article, and most of the articles posted by All Voices on the Trayvon "Tragedy", is not neutral. You are clearly taking the side of Trayvon. I'm not saying Zimmerman is innocent, because I can't make that claim yet- and as journalists neither should you.

TM weight is 140 lbs GZ weights 240 lbs. So you expect me to believe that 140 lbs, 17 year old kid bashed a 240 lbs, 28 year old man head for over 1 minute, crying for help and that this kid was so forceful GZ couldn't use his hands to fight off the kid but could grab a gun and shoot this kid in the chest.............yeah right. Dead people don't testify. While ZM's family and friends are making as many appearances as they can to claim him the victim.

Samantha86,
I very much object to you describing George Zimmerman as a "white" male in your article. He is a Hispanic male. The white race has had it with you people in the media throwing all the blame when a black person is hurt or killed at white people. We never hear that it was a "black" person who hurt or killed a white person, just white people hurting or killing blacks. The fact of the matter is, if you would take the time to investigate FBI statistics, Blacks are 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against whites then vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit a robbery. Stop playing up the race card against whites. It is obvious, via FBI statistics, that the true racists are in the black community. Not to disclose this fact is irresponsible reporting.

Shut up fieldmarshall. White people have lynched black people for centuries and you have you panties in a bunch because they got GZ confused with being white? Why come you aren't claiming the hispanic race now? O, it is only done when it benefits your race. So where are your statistics on white people hanging black people for running to a better life or looking at a white woman or fighting a white man because she (black woman) would not allow him (white man) to rip her virtue from her? Where are you statistics on that?

How long are we going to hear about something that happened well over 100 yrs. ago. Good Lord, look what was done to the indians, and you don't hear them whining about it. We are not responsible for the idiocy that took place in the 19th century. No longer are african americans victims. Some just choose to be. I never consider race in dealing/meeting people. It makes no difference to me. Crimes like these happen daily, the jackson and sharpton's duo make this an issue for there own greed. can't the a.a. see that? they are an embarassment to your race. m. mother has a patton on two of the most used phrases surrounding her son. how does she sleep at night? she's getting monetarily rewarded over the death of her son. i wonder how much of a percentage of profits will go to jackson and sharpton.

fieldmarshall,

"The white race has had it with you people in the media throwing all the blame..." What do you mean by "you people"? And I'm sorry but everytime I turn on the news to see a black suspect, it is very evident. I hear of "black" people killing white people far too much. And as far as the FBI statistics go, check those again. Black people only make up 12 percent of the population. Those numbers represent the percent of people committing those crime within the black population, not the US population. Why? To make black people look bad, like we just wake up and decide to shoot a white person today. How about you take the time to look at those statistics again, maybe "you people" wouldn't have so much to say about "our species."

to say we are our own species is seperating us for being human. that is the only part of your reply to fieldmarshall I disagree with, because we are all human. I agree with nnichole15, 'don't feed the monster.' Peace my friend.

By saying you are your own "species" your kind of segregating yourself, no? Sarcasm or not, don't feed the monster.

By saying you are your own "species" your kind of segregating yourself, no? Sarcasm or not, don't feed the monster. Doing that makes you your own enemy.

As much as you'd like to say Zimmerman should have just stayed in the car. You can also say Martin should have just went back to his girlfriends house. In my opinion, if Martin initiated the physical attack on Zimmerman, than the Florida rule of law should be upheld.

In this unfortunate situation I think a young black mans pride might have gotten him killed.

As usual, this article is not factual. martin was 6 ft. 4 1/2 inches. Zimmerman is 5 ft. 9 in. and weighed 10 lbs more then martin. in session, a program on court tv, done a side by side comparison of the two. as far as the residual marajuana in the 'baggie' only means that there was mj in that baggie. who carries a baggie for one joint? they need to ask his friends how much was in there at the beginning of that particular school day. this was martins THIRD suspension from school. he was caught with a large amount of jewelry in his back pack, also a flat head, large screwdriver. what cops call burglary tools. he refused to say where the large amount of diamond and gold jewelry came from. just that at friend had given it to him. b.s. he was also called on the carpet for defacing lockers at the school. two days before the shooting ha and his brother were laughing/bragging about the fact that martin was swinging his fist at a bus driver, an authority figure. where in the hell did it come from that z had to go to alcahol classes. the cops were plain clothes and had aggressivley pushed one of z friends into a wall. z. had no idea they were cops. one charge was dismissed, other plead down to a charge that automatically included anger management classes. the domestic violence case led to no charges. good thing, because z was the one with the injuries. martin was much larger then z. was in excellent shape, and in my opinion was trying to impress his girlfriend. in his own words he stated to dispatch that he wasn't sure what color m was. and bringing up speeding charges.. give me a break. it wasn't illegal for z to get out of his car. i would have done the same thing. he states that m. is string at thim, then coming towards him with his hand inside of his waistband. this was investigated, even the states ada was involved. state said there was no charges because there was no evidence to convict z. not until the idiots, sharpton and jackson got involved was this case getting undue publicity. race baiting is there specialty. why african americans can't see that these two are using a families tragedy to fatten there wallets is beyond me. Z's injuries are apparent in the bloody pics. the prosecution not once asked to see z. medical records. they had there minds made up, AND had to charge z because of public opinion. where is the justice in that? an eye witness, that came upon the fight, will clearly testify that z was hollering at him, asking him for help. just once, i would like to see the media criminally charged for reporting false info. when they know it's false. z. will probably go to prison to appease the uproar that jackson, sharpton and the stupid black panthers, who should also be charged. i think it's time for the white ppl to have a march of there own.

One more point, although I could make many, is the fact that when zi was asked by dispatch what color the suspicious person was, he was not even sure, he said, he might be black. so how can you possibly make this an issue of race.

rvsbaby1959 sounds like you're a part of the institutional racist problem in America?
