No comments on the surveillance video of Mr Martin buying his candy.
What is this supposed to show?

I'm pretty sure I read he died from a single gunshot wound to the chest.

That's a silly law if it's true. Shoot someone in the thigh and they can bleed out in a couple minutes. And in the case of someone mounted on you, aiming for the leg isn't very realistic
Chances are slim if the police and an ambulance arrive.
Chances are slim if the police and an ambulance arrive. I still think it's better to at least try and avoid a kill-shot wound. Shooting someone in the leg is still a lot less deadly than shooting them right over their heart or in the face. I think gun laws need to be stricter in the training requirements to own a gun--for both the safety of the people using it, and the safety of those that don't. People who do own guns should have to show that they can think clearly in situations where they might need to use it, and that practice will be invaluable to them (in terms of self defense). The people who don't would probably feel a lot more comfortable.
Whether or not guns are legal, some people will always own them. It's better to make sure the people who do things legally are properly prepared so they are safer. Because if to get a gun legally, you're getting a lot of training, and it gives you a massive safety advantage.
And to add on to that, self defense (not with guns, just in general) should be taught in high school gym. I think it's silly that parents have to pay to teach a kid how to disarm an attacker (especially where I grew up--where mugging was pretty common).
It was a tough week for racial witch hunters. In fact, it’s been a tough quarter-century for them. Reality keeps knocking the liberal media off its high horse. When they picked up the Trayvon Martin case, hordes of TV dupes donned hoods and said they, too, were all young black kids being murdered by racist vigilantes. Then we find out Zimmerman is some kind of Peruvian Jew and may have had his ass kicked by Trayvon before the shooting, so they drop it. They wanted Dharun Ravi to go jail for ten years for the hate crime of pranking his roommate, but the evidence left him serving 30 days for “colossal insensitivity.” When blacks are randomly assassinated in Oklahoma, the left quickly goes mute when they discover one of the shooters is Cherokee.
When a white couple is raped and dismembered in Knoxville, the media is suddenly deaf, dumb, and blind. When children get gang-raped but the bad guys are Muslim, even the police won’t touch it.
I’ve only listed ten examples but there are dozens and dozens more. This is a great compilation of hate-crime hoaxes from 1993.
So when did we become such complete faggots about everything? The old America had men who built the Empire State Building in under two years—during the Depression—to spite a rival who built the Chrysler Building. Today we are so eager to capitulate, the Twin Towers collapse and we ask, “Why do they hate us?”
When you create a victim culture, you also create a vacuum where opportunistic parasites volunteer to fill the role and reap the rewards.
Leftists want America to be a racist hellhole so badly, they make it so. If we’re going to stampede anyone in the name of racial equality and justice for all, how about we start with them?

I've ignored this thread up to now because I instinctively knew all along that the way the story was being presented was not what actually happened - and so it has turned out.
Now for a dose of reality:

You're doing such a fab job with all this investigative journalism I'm so glad to be on your informed team.

Christ, what an asshole.
In your lifelong attempt to prove that white males are the real victims in life I've seen you embrace and fall for some incredibly shady sources.

omg, i have read bits & pieces of fg's posts over the years... economics themed.
BUT I had no idea tho that he leaned much more to bigotry..
if you fg only did some wider ranged research/ read more stories told by African-Americans that would show you that individual white racists and institutional racism still very much exists in the USA. Living/driving while black is still, often a dicey situation.
i will cite one example...
a study done no more than about 4 years ago cited that black men with a college degree and NO criminal record , are STILL less likely to be hired than HS Grad white men WITH criminal records.
one of the saving graces is that younger ,oh 30 and under white people are at times are more in contact with black people and some of the racism is beginning to diminish because of more acquaintances & friendships etc formed.
As for white men being victims....well, yeah, they can be...BUT
esp in the case of poorer & working class/blue collar white men- they can be victims of waaay richer white men who have been sending good paying jobs- closing all manner of factories overseas for years andyears now!

And to be honest, given that you're not a regular here, if you're clapping your hands at BVS, you're clapping hands at FYM's most consistent troll, someone whose posting style and approach to the forum has embarassed even some of the liberals on here.
If you find BVS to be a troll, report the offending posts - enough with the personal jabs and public insults.

"The defendant's wife lied to this court," prosecutor Bernardo de la Rionda told the judge.
Zimmerman has received about $200,000 from anonymous donors to fund his defense, even though his defense lawyer had previously described him as penniless.
The motion to revoke Zimmerman's bond cited transcripts of phone calls he made to his wife from jail. In the calls, which were recorded by the facility, the couple spoke in code about the donated money and Zimmerman instructed his wife to transfer money into her personal account, according to the motion.
"He (Zimmerman) understands the court's concern now we've had a chance to look at it," O'Mara said on Sunday, though he would not speculate about whether Zimmerman's wife might be charged with perjury. "I believe she'll have counsel."
Zimmerman solicited money for his defense through a website, TheRealGeorgeZimmerman.com, that has since been taken down. It has been replaced by a new online site for contributions to Zimmerman's defense called gzdefensefund.com.
De La Rionda also told the court that when Zimmerman surrendered his passport to the court at his April 20 bond hearing, he did so knowing that he had a second unexpired passport.
The motion said Zimmerman obtained a passport in 2002. That passport, which expired in May 2012, was the one he turned in to the court during his April bond hearing and his lawyer told the judge it was his only passport.
But prosecutors said Zimmerman in 2004 reported that passport lost or stolen and obtained a new one, which is valid until 2014. Zimmerman also discussed the passport with his wife in one of the recorded calls from jail, the motion said.
He told his wife he thought the passport was in a bag and she replied, "I have one for you in a safety deposit box," the prosecutors said. "OK, you hold onto that," Zimmerman allegedly told her.
