Hi guys, I don't live in America but i'm trying to keep up with the case (slightly more difficult for me though) so sorry if anything i post is out-tated or whatever, feel free to let me know!
But, here's my opinion, from what iv'e heard/seen about the case.

First of all, Trayvon's past doesn't really matter to much if we are trying to figure out the event's that happened that night, he got kicked out of school for a few days, so what? could be really bad timing, i know plently of people who have been sent home from school (myself included) for the most silly things, nothing threatening or voilent and it certainly doesn't have to stand for his character. And let's not get to personal, he had 'Grillz', and people may not like that, but it doesn't mean he was agressive or deserved to get shot etc, let's stick to the point at hand please?

Now, just because Zimmerman is proven to be Hispanic and 'non white' he is automatically not a rascist? I don't think so. His neighbours have said about him he took his duty on neighbourhood watch 'too seriously' and often went out 'on the look for young black men' as he saw these men as a threat.

Martin phoned his girlfriend telling her he was scared of the man who kept following him and it was intimidating, he never mentioned wanting to confront or hurt him, his girlfriend told him to run away and he agreed he would, because he feared he was going to get hurt.
I beleive there is also racism on the part of the police offers who arrived at the scene and just seemed to accept this fact and not want to question any further.
On the police calls (you can hear them for yourselfs) there is voice identified as Martin's shouting for help, many neighbours and witinesses say that it was Treyvon who was being attacked and shouting for help. A few hours after being released from the police station Zimmerman had no blood/cuts/bruises on his head? he claimed he was ''cleaned up'' by police, this wouldn't cover up cuts he would have recieved had his ''head been smashed of the ground'' like others have claimed, also, if that had been the case, he would have needed to have been hospitalised. So if Martin did ever hit Zimmerman, it was not with that kind of force people have claimed.
Also, many witnesses have claimed the police tried to change there stories and a few people who said they SAW Zimmerman attack Treyvon have not been allowed to release a statement. why?

So, Even if Martin did hit Zimmerman first, Zimmerman was also a pretty large guy, and Martin was not a 'thug', i feel Zimmerman might have been able to struggle free and resolve this without shooting someone who was un-armed.
Also, Zimmerman said to police he was going to stop following Martin and claims to have returned to his car (only he can back this claim up, no witnesses etc) and the time he said this, compared to the time Martin was on the phone to his girlfriend, he still claimed to have been followed even after the recorded time Zimmerman told police he wouldn't continue following him.

This is my opinion on what iv'e seen or read so far, i'm not saying who i think is guilty or not, and i'm certainly not trying to sensationalise or make this a 'race' issue if it is not. Just my obesrvations so far.
