@Langoliers, I think you're right about Zimmerman. If he hadn't had a gun, I don't think he would have been so bold as to get out of his vehicle. Nor would he have been confident enough to tell the 911 operator,'No, just have them (the responding officers) call me'.
Now this is something that hasn't sat well with me since I heard the 911 call. I understand that as a visitor to the gated comunity, Martin may not have been familiar to Zimmerman. But what kind of Neighborhood watch 'Captain' has to get out of his vehicle and search around for a street sign so he could give the police his location? That was Zimmerman's reason provided to police as to why he was out of his vehicle. He wasn't following Martin on foot, he was looking for a street sign? Really?

The real story here will be how much political considerations will continue to unduly influence the attainment of justice.

I admit that neither Sharpton, nor Jackson did nothing but gravitate this to a race issue, which of course is never helpful. They are sensationalists,/ that being said, this issue regarding the "Stand Your Ground" law is at least now being addressed - I know you're for this, but this law makes it easier for an individual, with a lawful weapon, to kill with virtual impunity. Who draws the line as to an individuals interpretation of feeling "threatened"?
All sides of the media have skewed the stories to bolster their personal viewpoints - most of us have predisposed opinions regardless of how much we may debate the issue.
As to Blacks attacking Hispanics, whomever is involved, one side or the other, should be arrested and prosecuted.
I also agree the NBP party should be arrested and prosecuted for putting a dead or alive bounty on Zimmerman.
If it were my son/brother/nephew being attacked, I would feel the same - prosecute those responsible directly for their actions. I don't believe painting a broad stereotypical brush is correct. I would alienate many of my friends, who are all different races - and religions also.
Are YOU saying you do NOT want a "self-defense" law?
Some people have "deadly hands and FEET.....

Just because they do, should they be "outlawed?"

All he had to do was listen to the 911 operator, which is what most adults would do.
Instead he felt empowered by his gun. He's a wannabe cop and a failure as a man.

Its sole purpose was to get idiots such as yourself on board.
It worked.

But your desired race war will not have the outcome you desire.

Either way chump, Look for George to be acquitted.

<quoted text>Are you white ?? Ever see a bruise on a Black ??
I'm white, but a scrape, a cut, an abrasion is easily visible on any kind of skin. Something I didn't see on the back of Zimmermans head 30 minutes after the alleged attack nor any evidence of Healed Cuts or abrasions on the back of his head in the Courtroom.
Ever see someone who has a healed cut on their head? Clearly visible line. White Scar line, no matter what color they are.
We, as in you or I may not like certain people; we may have a low tolerance for certain types of people, but we can't just go around shooting or killing someone we don't care for.

It is clear the Florida Law needs to be modified, otherwise we will have folks inviting people to go to FL for some fun so we can Legally kill them. Law is too vague and requires no Proof from the killer that he/she was in danger.

That is stupid. This eight year old tried to kill me with his bicycle, tried to run me into oncoming car. I was afraid for my life so I had to kill him.
Okay carry on then!!!
Author of Stand Your Ground, FL says it does NOT apply to Zimmerman case.

Ok so here is another take. In this scenario I will accept everything you say about Zimmerman(with the exception of being a murdered).He is a wannbe cop who felt empowered by his gun. What of Martin? He was a 17yr homie feeling his oats.He could have simply said who he was and been on his way.Instead checked out the short chubby guy and went ghetto on him.He initiated the physical contact and bears the majority of the responsibility for his own death. He could eaily have just gone home.

Don't know why that posted twice like that.
I agree that the media has helped fuel the flames in making this a race issue (was it? I don't know), but didn't the media report that Zimmerman was a white male, based on what was written on the police report?

4 Indiana Dems charged with election fraud in 2008 presidential race

By Eric Shawn

Published April 03, 2012

----------Felony charges related to election fraud have touched the 2008 race for the "highest office" in the land.---------

Prosecutors in South Bend, Ind., filed charges Monday against four St. Joseph County Democratic officials and deputies as part of a multiple-felony case involving the alleged forging of Democratic presidential primary petitions in the 2008 election, which put then-candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the Indiana ballot.

The officials are accused of taking part in a scheme to fake signatures and names on the primary petitions needed to run for president. Court papers say the plan was hatched by local Democratic Party officials inside the local party headquarters.

Come on, the guy lied to the parents in his "apology" in court. He told them "I didn't know how old he was, I thought he was a few years younger than me"
He told 911 Dispatch that Martin was "Late Teens" so he just lied.
Late teens is more than ten years younger and 17 is younger still.
Point is he lied. Late teens is NOT a few years younger than Zimmerman.
Anyone know where his Mother is? I know she is from Peru, but haven't heard if she has contact with the family.

Sounds like in the Indictment that State Alleges, Zimmerman was Profiling Martin, not based on skin color, but based on Zimmermans' assumption that Martin was a Thug and/or Criminal because of his appearance, location, etc. This is based on statements he made to 911, such as "these assholes always get away" and "he's running" and "F**^in Punks",(I heard something else)
Seems the 2nd Degree charge is based on Depravity, Indifference to human life and the tracking of Martin, resulting in, An Intentional Act that can reasonably cause Great Bodily Harm and/or Death, ie, the shooting.
There will likely be another hearing where Zimmermans Atty, will file a Motion To Dismiss Order, based on Stand Your Ground, Judge will likely Deny the Motion due to States Evidence and both sides will prepare for Trial or Enter a Plea Agreement.
Till then, Party on.

Daily Horoscope for May 23

Libra

You're in an idealistic mood today and only want to see the best in other people. This is typical Libran behaviour, because you aren't good at facing up to harsh reality at the best of times. Today, you're ready to believe that someone is a candidate for sainthood or that they're the best thing that's ever happened to you, regardless of whether it's true or not.
