He is partly responsible for his predicament. Also, blame the police department and the DA for some of this too. If it wasn't for the media coverage the case would have never gotten a second look.
I'm not saying its right but I will say this had they let the detective arrest him file charges and put him though the justice system that we would have if we had shot someone, we would not be talking about this today and he'd be out on bail until he got his day in court.
Look at it not from the media or the talking head politicians or even Zimmerman's point of view. Look at it from Treyvon parents point of view. If it was your child that was killed and nobody is giving you the answers of why your child had to die. You ask for questions and nobody is giving you answers how would you feel.
I'm going re-emphasize this again, without the media coverage that this is getting nothing would have gotten done. It would not have gotten the scrutiny that it needed to get. The FBI needed to get involved. I honestly believe that he would have been arrested that night if it hadn't been for his father being a retire judge. I'm sure that he has connections and influence that he could use to help his son out of his screwup.
I have to disagree. First reason is that the Officer on the scene had to determine for himself "if" there was reasonable cause for him to make an arrest under the laws of the State as he knows them.
When he filed his report, his supervisor had to review it and at that point, if it were determined that the DA had to be involved, then we can only hope that it would have gotten elevated to that level.
But what did happen?
The officer did not see reasonable suspicion or reasonable cause for a violation on the part of Zimmerman to exists. He did not make an arrest.
Now, Can you show more incidents of this same nature that have been continuing on for years or is this one sole example of what you feel is an injustice?
I ask, because here in Seattle Washington we have endured years of dealing with a corrupt system and have finally gotten FBI intervention.
So, if this is more than just an isolated incident, I can feel for you.
But from what I am seeing, it boils down to, before things could really get sorted out in the legal system over this isolated case, there instantly was mass hysteria and Media involvement.
Everything beyond that has simply been unnecessary hype and emotional inflation of what may in reality be nothing.
Again, I will state that we should all calm down, allow the system to do its job, watch for the outcome and then if we do not like the outcome, work within the system to correct it, just as was done in the example of Seattle above.
