Yes.He was instructed to stand down!He did not.It was at that point that he "took the law into his own hands!"A public outrage!

George Zimmerman was arrested and brought to the police station that night, but let go. What I think happenend is, they failed to collect all the evidence, because it was raining that night and had to let him go.He certainly schould be charged.

The cops blew it!!!  It was def. manslaughter or murder 2- unplanned but still happened.  Now, they are in a pickle- because if it goes to a jury the jury will know that if he goes to jail he'll probably be killed and if they aquit he will probably be killed.  The entire thing is insain!!!  Who the bleep carries a gun on a neighborhood watch??????

Of course he should. He DID stalk the kid. As far as I know, he wasn't approached by the victim. What was his justification for firing away ?  

America, get that archaic "right to bear arms" clause out of your constitution. Amendment,please !

yes he should. Anybody that commits murder should get life or cap punishment.

Not only should he be arrested, he should have been arrested that night and charge with murder. If George Zimmerman was injured, then he brought that upon himself. Trayvon didn't follow (stalk) Zimmerman and picked a fight. Zimmerman started a fight he couldn't finish. So, his solution was to "shoot to kill" and claim self defense.  I bet this "stand your ground"  or  "right to bear arms" law has gotten many people killed all in the named of "self defense'.  How do the police investigate these cases. Do they just take the shooter word for what happen and called it justified? That's what the police did in this case.  

What if the only difference that night is, Trayvon Martin had a gun, not George Zimmerman, and Martin killed Zimmerman. Martin would say "I was being followed by a suspicious person in a car. Then a man who I don't know gets out of the car and continues to follow me. Then the man confronts me about who I am and why I'm here. We had a fight and he was on top of me, pounding my head into the concrete. I pull out my gun and shot him because I was in fear of my life". What do you think would have happen?

Killing is always wrong, no two ways about it but, I don't know all the facts. I can't imagine it being justified but I DON'T KNOW ALL OF THE FACTS.......

I don't understand why it's taking over two months for this, and still not to be resolved. As far as his guilt goes, things don't look good for him. The courts will decide what is appropriate. As far as the gun control comment, never will honest people give up their firearms regardless of the law. I want the right to kill anyone who presents a life or death situation towards me or mine.

All humans regardless of race and political ideology should be held accountable for homocide.

Special prosecutor Angela Corey gave a news conference yesterday evening at 6 pm ET in which she stated, that George Zimmernman has turned himself in and was charged with second degree murder.At the news conference she was asked by a reporter where he was beeing held and she replied she could not divulge that. About 1/2 hour later I saw on CNN, where reporters were waiting at the jail for him to arrive. So in other words, someone was leaking the information to the reporters and put his life in jeopardy! I am so sick of the media and all the stories and speculation. Zimmermann wont be able to have a fair trial,  because of all the media coverage, the worst were CNN, MSNBC and HSN.

Yes, premeditated murder considering the facts other have listed. He disobeyed the police, stalked the young man, while carrying a loaded, concealed (?) gun with intent to confront and threaten. Zimmerman set the scene for murder and planned for it by setting the stage by his own history of intentional personal involvement in police business. As a citizen, we should report suspicious activity to the police for them to do their job. That legal distinction makes Zimmerman.s activity a crime. It may also be a racial hate crime also since young blacks were clearly his intended victim.

He is under arrest now but the media finished his trial already...

What's the delay? He commited a crime and should be punished end of story.

Zimmerman's head just minutes after he killed Trayvon. This seems to prove his claim that Trayvon was slamming his head into the concrete.

New picture?  What happened to the Newman/Wayne Knight look alike pictures?  We all love them!

There needs to be concrete evidence to where there is no underlying doubts that this man is guilty. So many times the government andjury. We the people, have tried and hung the wrong person.
