The article does not say that George Zimmerman was instructed to stand down by an officer. However, he was told that he did not need to follow Martin. And guess what he did? He decided to play Superman - or trigger-happy vigilante - and pursue the 17-year-old. Try reading the article again.

Someoene has clearly not remembered well at all. George Zimmerman wasn't told to stand down by any officer. There is no evidence that proves that Martin was simply trying to get home with candy. Zimmerman was not patrolling that night, but was going to the grocery store himself. Try again.

no one deserves death, no matter what sins they have committed.

It's amazing that these morons are "remembering" someone they never met. I met Trayvon Martin, and he assaulted me. I'm glad he's dead.

So someone being labeled as a "fight seeker" deserves to get shot by a strange man in his own neighborhood? I'm confused.. If we are going to remember accurately, wasn't George Zimmerman ordered by an officer to stand down and let the police handle it? Who exactly was seeking a fight in this instance? Surely not 17-year-old Trayvon -- he was simply trying to get home, eat candy and enjoy his family. On the other hand, Zimmerman was watching his neighborhood for suspicious characters armed and ready. I think he was the one seeking a fight, correct? What are you trying to get at with your comment? All of these cases have to do with unarmed African-Americans who were killed by excessive force; therefore, all of these cases are similar.
