I'm not saying I was right for felling that way, just being honest about it.

Rodney King aside, you know it's wrong to wish someone to get off when you know he did it. Everyone knew he did it. It was bad work on the prosecutor's part and a race card thing.

I don't mean to piss you off, but when my brother went to the academy, they showed the Rodney King beating and informed or schooled maybe is a better word the cadets why it was justifiable. Sickening. Absolutely, sickening the the cops and LAPD got off for what they did. That said, it still doesn't justify rioting, vandalizing and looting.

That just isn't true. I want the Stand Your Ground laws to be repealed wherever they are the law. And if he killed him justifiably, according to the stupid law, I want him to get off, and then fuck up again so he can burn.

Bottom line, Zimmerman isn't white, but the race card is still being played. It's bad legislation, and he was stupid. Period. Why race needs to be brought into an already messy situation. If Zimmerman was in fear of his life, then he should get off. If Zimmerman was in fear of his life because he created a stupid situation where he had to Stand His Ground, then the law needs to be looked at even more quickly and carefully than it otherwise would be looked at.

Zimmerman was "hunting". You can hear it in his conversation with the 911 Operator. He was a "nobody" wanting to be a "somebody".

Remember the times..... tell that to Paula Deen

Just so we are clear, you are equating King getting a severe beating, with the premeditated murder of two people. Is this correct? Your sense of values are seriously fucked up.

OH,

This is not a "stand your ground" case. This is self defense.

adi · 06-25-2013, 05:02 PM

Last time i check Zimmerman was not a latin name .Why are they hiding the fact that he is jewish ? And just cause he shoots a finger curses or sells dope does not mean he should be killed . We do illegal things everyday is it justifiable to follow shoot and kill you for speeding drinking and driving p4p
? (coming from a white man.)

lostincypress · 06-25-2013, 05:13 PM

Zimmerman needs to convince the jury it was self defense. Things get a little blurred when one initiates a confrontation and the other person ends up dead. Let's see...........if Zimmerman had NEVER exited his vehicle what would have been the outcome of TM's trip to the store for Tea and Skittles.....TM's status was exactly the same as GZ's..........living with a parent in a multi-racial community.

I thought that was the whole controversy aside from the race carding thing.

Edit: I just went and looked it up. So they are saying he was fleeing after confronting Martin and therefore self defense. Interesting concept. So was it in fact Martin that was standing his ground when Zimmerman confronted him? And it is the defenses' claim that Martin should have stopped when Zimmerman began to flee? Is this interesting legal concept why we're hearing about this, a local State's Right issue, in detail across the national news ad nausium so that even someone like me, a person with no TV, hears about it. Or is this just another PC mess where the press is making it about race when it's about bad judgments by both parties and some guy acting as a wanna be cop?

Clap clap clap! You've summed it up perfectly. Its sad that media and al sharpton have made this about race.

Sweeeeet

I hope they hang this muthafucka!

Once he got out of his car to confront TM, it was on. If he stayed his ass in the car, TM would still be alive now! But unfortunately he thought TM was a thug because of the hoodie he was wearing.

The bottom line to me is this. Zimmerman had a gun. Martin didn't.

HANG THIS MUTHAFUCKA!!!!!!!
