I don't know who everyone is. From my POV I just hate to see another Richard Jewel, Duke Lacrosse, Tawanna Brawley media trial so pointed out the agenda driven spin LC was shilling has major flaws. Let's wait until all the facts are known.

And your use of stalked is telling. We know GZ followed TM. Sometimes looking out for our for neighbors is good, in this case it seems unwise, creepy and potentially immoral. But it was unlikely illegal and I don't think it would justify being attacked

Zimmerman told them he lost sight of Trayvon and was walking back to his SUV when Trayvon approached him from the left rear, and they exchanged words.

Trayvon asked Zimmerman if he had a problem. Zimmerman said no and reached for his cell phone, he told police. Trayvon then said, "Well, you do now" or something similar and punched Zimmerman in the nose, according to the account he gave police.

Zimmerman fell to the ground and Trayvon got on top of him and began slamming his head into the sidewalk, he told police.
All we know for sure is at least one verision of events doesn't look good for TM and and why you are now hearing about TM being suspended for drugs and vandalism, being caught with potentially stolen goods, and sporting his gold teeth and attacking a bus driver. To some people it adds credence to GZ's version, which is probably wrong too and why this shouldn't be a media trial.
