G.Zimmerman

[Bikenut]

Zimmerman deserves his day in court for stalking and shooting an unarmed black teen.

Nobody questions that.

Its the ones who question whether there needs to be a trial at all that I worry about.

And is their membership in the KKK all paid up as life members yet?

Please provide actual factual verifiable cites and/or links to proof Zimmerman was "stalking" what you called an "unarmed teen".

Show proof or your post is nothing more than an attempt to skew folk's perception of what happened into some sensationalized version of what YOU think happened.

Show us the proof.

Sorry guys I didn't read all the posts. Yes, let him have his day in court.

That said, just another reminder to only pull & use your weapon when necessary, other times call 911. We don't have the protections of the department legal when acting as a private citizen. Even when you do EVERYTHING right, you could still have loose ends to deal with.

I'm in no way 2nd guessing Zimmerman's actions. Just saying it's a position I'd much rather avoid. Yes, the default position is to be tried by 12 instead of carried by 6.

This is my take on all this non-sense, if he called the police like the articles I've read have said. He absolutely no reason to follow the guy, the police said stay put and we'll take care of him. For once let the police do what we pay them for, Martin wasn't even a direct threat to Zimmerman until he went after him.

I hope his ass goes to jail, if Martin came up to Zimmermans' vehicle and got belligerent this would be a whole different story.

Zimmerman didn't "go after him". He was following to see where he went so as to be able to tell the police where Martin went. That was totally legal and reasonable in light of the break ins that the neighborhood had been subject to. Zimmerman was returning to his vehicle after looking for location information when Martin accosted him. If Martin hadn't attacked Zimmerman nothing would have happened other than a discussion at that point. There is no evidence that anything happened any differently than the story Zimmerman told. You seem to want to jail someone for daring to try to stay alive. There is no evidence of Zimmerman doing anything illegal and as such no reason for any trial. What the anti-gun nuts and racists want is a Kangaroo court with a conviction for daring to follow the law.

Those who toss about unsubstantiated racial accusations act with an unjustifiable predjudice and cast themselves as racists by their own actions.

@firefighter,,,,uh we Do know the 911 dispatcher told him not to follow the kid...thats a stand down to me. And let me see here, a grown man is following a kid,and its the kid who picked the fight? You never adressed the fact that zimmerman was wrong in that the kid did nothing worthy of being followed. Jus,,,wow

Not quite true. The 911 dispatcher who has no more authority than you or me told him we don't need you to do that. Zimmerman said wouldn't follow anymore and I believe said he had already lost sight of him. Zimmerman did nothing wrong. He was in a neighborhood that had a number of breakins and he saw a kid slowly walking around in the rain.

Pretty much every Progressive Liberal shill does it too.

Interesting. There is no evidence that Zimmerman did anything wrong, at least none that has been released. Yet you want him drawn and quartered. Thank goodness good people have contributed money to help mitigate the costs of this witch hunt.

Yeah, they are included in that group if they behave in that manner.


Progressives/Liberals operate by an intellectual and moral "double-standard" that renders every argument they make highly suspect.

Remember the old debate guideline- "When you are right, pound the facts; when you are wrong, pound the table."

We have our answer.

If I remember it right, Zimmerman was standing alongside his car minding his own business and Travon came up to him and asked want e was doing there and before Zimmerman could say anything Travon sucked punched him and knocked him down, wherein he jumped on top a Zimmerman and was pounding his head on to the concrete sidewalk, which was proven by the deep cuts in the back of his head. Also at that time Zimmerman was screaming for help which was proven by the witness statements. During this time Zimmerman was trying to scoot backwards away from the sidewalk his coat raised up and Travon stated to reach for his gun saying “you’re going to die MF’er”, at that point Zimmerman tried to keep Travon from obtaining his gun and Travon was trying to cover Zimmerman’s mouth to keep him quite. With all of that going on Zimmerman was quite sure his life was in jeopardy and he pulled his gun and shot Travon. End of story, a justified shooting period. But there going to drag this man through the courts anyway and probably ruin his life just for protecting himself. Zimmerman should have NEVER gone to court, much less arrested, but the political correctness of the prosecuting attorney trying to appease the local Zimmerman haters succumbed to the local Zimmerman hate speech.

i hope he don't go to jail for simply defending his life from some young punk ass thug clearly the story was falsified on the news and for more sinister agenda imo

Gee,I do not know who is right or wrong in this but would you man up and tell Trayvons parents that he was a young ass punk thug that deserved to die to there face.

One thing to remember about this story is the incident happened a month before it was plastered on the front of every mainstream media outlet in the US. No one had charged Zimmerman with any crime and apparently did not have any intent to do so.

Then, someone, gosh I wonder who would use this to stir up trouble in an election year over guns, pointed out to the media that they had missed a great anti gun story, as well as a great story against Stand Your Ground laws.

The media was really disappointed that Zimmerman, in spite of his Caucasian sounding name, was not Caucasian. The New York Times referred to him as a White Hispanic, whatever that is, to try to make it a white on black shooting.

After many days of media blasting, the state of Florida was pressured into filing charges against Zimmerman. And we move on from there.

Remember Rodney King. Remember that the officers accused went to trial and were acquitted. Remember LA burning and folks being killed. Wonder what will happen when Zimmerman is acquitted.

 

[mmckee1952]

You have to wonder of the stupid mentality of these people, they get pissed about something and what do they do first, they go out and riot, burn down the stores they shop in, loot, and burn neighborhoods, attack the people who live in their neighborhoods, sometimes kill people. The asinine mentality is so irresponsible and senseless; it gets them nothing but slums afterwards and an area not worth living in. I also think they use this as an excuse to steal items from the stores.

Didn't see this comment till now since the post you are referring to is getting "likes"....you know...those things your posts don't get?

That's a stand down to you because you really have no idea what you are talking about. 911 dispatcher is not an authority figure. After they suggested he didn't need to "do that" what did GZ say?!?!?! Ding ding ding..."OKAY." So after they suggested he didn't need to watch where TM ran off to, he says he started to look for a street sign. So, where is your proof he did anything different?

So, grown man #1 was not following grown man #2 (a 6'2" 160 lb man is not a kid but nice try), when grown man #2 attacked grown man #1.

I don't have to address a moot point. Following someone isn't illegal, so Zimmerman did nothing wrong by following TM. TM did do something illegal and wrong by attacking GZ.

Is it really that hard to comprehend a 6'2" 160lb football athlete attacking a 5'9" 180lb man? Then again..."Jus,,,wow"...I don't see anyone holding your posts in high regards cause it's quite apparent you can't think on your own...i gotta ask now though, since you are stuck on calling TM a kid...do you still think he is a 12 year old grade school student? Cause those pictures are misrepresenting...you do know that right?

Everything will be burned that wasn't already burned the night of Nov. 6, 2012...

I would have no problem with that. The chances are good that he wouldn't have been a punk thug if his parents had faced up to it and dealt with it when he was younger.

 

[Hoganbeg]

The question is, "If George Zimmerman walks a free man after all of this, will Trayvon's parents be honest enough to admit their son was is the wrong? I suspect most people would have big problems with that.

Certainly wouldn't expect Martin's parents to admit anything about their son being in the wrong. Right or wrong, most every parent will stand in defense of their child no matter what the circumstance is. It's just human nature for any parent to take that position. Especially when the so called "facts" are by circumstance, or in this case, so purposely muddied and distorted by those with an agenda. His parents are being exploited. Pawns of race baiting progressive hypocrites taking advantage of a bad situation to further their own misguided anti-gun agenda.

Nope. Certainly wouldn't blame Martin's parents. They have every right to defend their son, just like Zimmerman had every right to protect himself from their son.

What makes you think he was a punk or a thug?He had no weapon and had every right to be where he was Other than that it is up in the air.


Zimmerman has been arrested several times would that make him a punk also?

So, if you have a weapon, you're a thug? You MIGHT be on the wrong forum...

Oh, I dunno know. Maybe it was his choice of gang-banger dress... Maybe it was the pictures of him flashing gang signs on his twitter page... Maybe it was his vulgar, nasty tweets... The 12 year old choir-boy that the lame stream media displayed was not the 17 year old that Zimmerman encountered that night.

Zimmerman's legal problems were a decade or so behind him. Not even the lame stream media could find any recent dirt on him.
