I don't think that's terribly likely, since I don't make a habit of following people around while carrying a gun just because they look like they shouldn't be in my neighborhood.

Bullshit. The purpose of a trial is to expose evidence that can then be examined in a careful way. If the world worked the way you think it does, every prosecutor would have a 100% conviction rate. As far as "a tremendous burden", boo fucking hoo. You know who has a bigger burden? Trayvon...

Uhh, what in the fuck do you think a trial is for?

I think he absolutely deserved to go on trial. I think he probably shouldn't be found guilty based on the evidence I've seen so far. But that's more about the high standard of proof required for a criminal conviction in this country (which I am 100% in favor of) than any sense that Zimmerman...

If you want an echo chamber where no one challenges your opinions, The Blaze is that way. ------->

Oh, please. Look at how many of you have been beating the drum that Zimmerman is an angel who is being wronged by whatever liberal boogeyman. Is it really a stretch to think that those attitudes might be present in the prosecutorial ranks of the national asshole that is Florida?

It's entirely possible that they went for 2nd degree murder to increase the chances that he gets off.

I knew I was in trouble as soon as I saw the kitten.

Maybe he used to be darker and he poured bleach on himself, so he could look more white!

Alright, groovy. That blues clip sounded good, too. Funny to see how guitars often defy what you'd think they would sound like based on what they look like.

Yeah, someone living in Florida having a tan sure is a stretch.

He actually looks pretty white in some pictures I've seen, depending on the lighting. I'm sure it's just a conspiracy of the liberal media though. Someone should go to jail for overlighting him.

I could easily get a SM57 at the same time. Would that be a better idea? The rest of the package looks pretty solid.

Gahahaha. Irony...crushing...brain...

You guys are absolutely right. NBC should publically abase themselves for doing a far smaller scale version of what Fox News does 24/7/365. I particularly liked the one guy who wanted CRIMINAL charges. Nice touch.

Would it be sensible to just start with that package, and then add more mics and such later? I'd rather start small, and while I'm figuring it out my noobishness will be a bigger factor than mic quality and quantity anyway I think.

If you're a story guy, I'd go with TSW.

Oh, man. You guys really doubled down while I was asleep.

Blackstar amps seem to be pretty well regarded, and if you want something you can get some distortion out of in a small space, you should be in good shape.

Also, for all the talk of Trayvon being a thug, guess which of the two had prior convictions? DING DING DING

If your "linear factual issue" is that Zimmerman holds no responsibility for what happened (note: this is distinct from there being enough evidence for him to be convicted) then you are bad at facting. Also, there's been an absolute fuckton of racism in this thread. Go look at the discussion...

Oh, please. The majority of people in this thread have been white knighting the fuck out of Zimmerman, trying to paint him as some sort of an angel who has absolutely no culpability (in either a legal or moral sense) for what happened, andI'mthe troll? Go fuck yourself.

I know you guys desperately want an uninterrupted circlejerk over the fact that Zimmerman is going to get away with killing a black kid like you all always wanted to do, but the rest of us are under no obligation to let that happen.

Hush. It's more fun to just watch the veins pop out in Khalid's forehead.

Khalid and others have maintained throughout the entire thread that he was simply passively following Martin and did absolutely nothing to escalate the situation.

So you guys don't even slightly get how you're assigning the worst possible motives to Martin's unexplained actions, and the best possible motives to Zimmerman's? Do you really lack self-awareness to even that basic degree?

When screwdrivers are outlawed, only outlaws will have screwdrivers.

Just like Zimmerman was a guy who was just carrying around a gun while totally innocently following black people around his neighborhood.

Oh, for fuck's sake. From the VERY FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THE BLAZE ARTICLE: "SANFORD, Fla. (AP/The Blaze) - Women's jewelry and a watch found in Trayvon Martin's school backpack last fall could not be tied to any reported thefts, the Miami-Dade Police Department said Tuesday."

What do you guys think of this bundle for a basic home recording setup to start off with? http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ScarlettStu/

Wait, Astrocreep wasn't sure if The Blaze is a nutjob site? Gahahahaha. It is basically THE nutjob site.

Come at me, bro.

I agree completely.

Because it's entirely impossible that Zimmerman provoked the fight and then realized he'd bit off more than he could chew and ended up screaming like a little girl for help until he remembered he had a gun.

Spend the entire thread stressing how important due process is, think it's awesome that someone got killed just for being a "hoodlum". Maybe.

What thread did I start?

Like half the thread?

Anyway, I'm getting off track here. Let's go back to talking about how awesome of a guy Zimmerman was, and how he just wanted to offer to buy Martin a pony.
