We don't know who started the physical conflict with any certainty. Testimony differs. The fact that it looks like Trayvon was winning the physical skirmish toward the end (before the gunshot) doesn't mean he is naturally violent or started it.

I mean, as long as we're at it...

Trayvon Martin was a violent, racist sociopath, eh? Sounds like you're the one constructing a narrative separate from the facts.

I agree that the legal ruling in this case was the right one. There was no evidence to convict Mr. Zimmerman. But claiming that you know exactly what happened that night, or that you know anything about Trayvon Martin's personality is absolutely ludicrous.

In a few years? That shit happens all the time.
Like this one example out of thousands:

That's all good. I've tried https://startpage.com/ but I'm not smart enough to know how effective it is at keeping my anonymous.

It seems to keep Google from upskirting my private info, and maybe that's enough.

I was starting to think I was on the wrong website, I had to read down this far before someone finally understands the threat is more than a just a mess of power line knocked down in a storm. Sure humans were built to survive without electricity, but not in the vast numbers created by our invention of civilization. The numbers supported by a civilization are directly related to its technology level. Without electricity we will be metaphorically back in the 1920's with 7X the number of people on our little rock requiring food and shelter.

If the damage takes too long to fix civil war and mass migration is a likely outcome, which will be hard to believe for people who think that drought has nothing to do with the Syrian war.

It's worth knowing that the "evidence" is comprised of the personal photographs of the victim of the crime:

described some contents of his report such as a photo of an African-American hand holding a gun, a photo of a plant resembling marijuana and a text message referring to a gun transaction.

Are you saying that someone holding a gun is "evidence" even though there was no gun belonging to Trayvon Martin found at the scene? Or is the fact that he's a young black man holding a gun prima facie evidence that Trayvon must have really been a thug so he deserved to be killed for walking down the street with an iced tea and pack of Skittles? And, "a text message referring to a gun transaction"? Again, what would any of this have to do with the fact that George Zimmerman shot an unarmed person?

What exactly is any of this "evidence" of? What are you trying to say, son?

Your Rick Scott comment is irrelevant and, I suspect, bepeaks of a particular political bias

In fact, considering Rick Scott's approval rating among the citizens of Florida, negative comments about the governor do not really "bepeaks" of any particular political bias.

It appears that he's pretty much hated across the political spectrum.

Like I said elsewhere, other countries have learned to do more with less. It's called observing and learning from observation.

Hey, thanks. I misunderstood what the Cherry Red switches were for.

I'll give my Brown keyboard to my wife to use for work, and I'll order a Red keyboard right away.

Seriously, thank you very much, friend.

Here's something similar that you can tweak:
