When "Neighborhood Watch" Gets Out of Hand

Now there are stories in various sources about three witnesses. Two that saw Zimmerman kneeling over an immobile Treyvon. And one that says Trayvon (100 pounds lighter than Zimmerman) was on top of Zimmerman, holding him down, while Zimmerman was screaming for help.

The police department dismissed the first two witnesses, and released Zimmerman based upon the third is the way the story is being told.

This is seriously crazy. Why isn't the guy simply arrested for manslaughter and booked, so the case will stop being tried in public, and associates of the case have to stop talking about it in public? What is wrong with this police department?

Where is Zimmerman, by the way? Is he in Casey Anthony land? Is anyone speaking for him yet? If he's smart, he's long gone.

Some lawyer, who only said he was a "representative", showed up and said Zimmerman is hiding in fear of his life.
