So my mom got diagnosed with congenital heart failure last week. Went to visit her today and was very disappointed to find out that due to my stepfathers urgings, she is essentially refusing to take any medication that she was prescribed. But no worries because my stepfather bought her a...

Where have you seen this stuff? All I have seen so far is some super vague info, would love it if you have more detailed shit.

Thats some unbelievable numbers considering how one-sided the media has been.

I'm still shocked they couldn't find any character witnesses for Trayvon. They couldn't find one other person that knew him enough and was presentable as a witness? Or is there a reason they wouldn't bring up character witnesses for him, even if they were presentable? Maybe that would have...

God, Piers Morgan is a fucking idiot. He really does his best to make Fox News not look that bad.

It seemed like she was trying to badger the defendant into testifying. That seems pretty harmful, to have so little respect for the 5th amendment.

Numbers must be getting paid for everytime he says racist. Might be a rider in his contract with Reuters.

I know you didn't just equate a mistaken phone call to a mistaken swat raid. I mean, no one is that stupid, right?

By differing, you mean that you think that calling the police on someone you think might be suspicious is an aggressive act that is akin to wanting to start a fight. This is so out of whack to how most people view such an act that its hard to think you truly believe it and just aren't trying to...

So while I was at a restaurant earlier today, a father and his teenage daughter were arguing about the Zimmerman case. The daughter (who was maybe 12 or so) kept pointing to all the facts in the case, just like we did in this thread. The dad just kept getting more and more upset, almost shouting...

We have no evidence that Zimmerman went to confront Trayvon. In fact, we have evidence of the reverse.

Citation needed you idiot. No one is cheering the death of Trayvon except for racists. What reasonable people are cheering is that a media railroad of a person who just defended themselves wasn't successful.

So you support Holder yet again implying, like so many people who are misinformed about the case, that SYG laws had something to do with this? Do you support civil rights charges against Zimmerman, even though there is no evidence whatsoever that there was racism involved? Even though pretty...

Huh? That article is saying self-defense laws are stupid. Sorry but Ill take laws that protect my right to defend myself if I am attacked.

http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/16/politi...html?hpt=hp_t2 Sigh, what a fucking piece of shit.

Listening to that shit right now, thanks dawg.

I'm only 6 episodes in, don't want to pay too much attention to this thread because of spoilers, but at this point I sure don't sympathize with L8. The future seems pretty awesome atm, so if its a corporate dictatorship, it sure seems a benevolent one. I would trust it over any government put...

Well, here is hoping that Zimmerman wins his suits against NBC and others. However, even if he wins, it will be nothing compared to the extra money they earned causing this bs in the first place.

Yeah, this show would be vastly better if they played off political storylines instead of trying to follow actual history with 100% hindsight. A "News Night" set up much like Sports Night would be great. I loved Sports Night.

Media narrative vs actual narrative.

If it wasn't gambling someone's life, a hate crime trial of Zimmerman would be a pretty funny circus. After all, in the criminal case the prosecution didn't even approach the subject because they had no evidence of racism or profiling. So making an entire cased based solely on that would be even...

Yeah, the whole point of that much lube is to make the struggling fun. Imagine how much more fun Zimmerman and Trayvon would have had if their fight had also involved 55 gallons of lube. They would probably be best "friends" by now.

I disagree that they caused it. However, there is no doubt that the biased coverage of the case has ended up increasing racial unease afterwards.

If the Newsroom (tv show) wasn't solely about attacking conservative strawmen with 100% hindsight and bad rom-com, I would look forward to the Newsroom episode on this case. So many incidents of abuse, would love to see a "behind the scenes" on how some of the biased shit gets put forward.

Yeah, I love his character. It really makes you wonder what is going on inside his head, what his motivations are, what exactly made him the way he is. He is just so unlike his brothers.

Do you disagree with anything that he said? All he was saying is "This is why people got upset and wanted to see someone punished", he isn't saying he believes the Zimmerman case was an example of black disenfranchisement.

I disagree with you saying the media didn't cause it. The media caused it by presenting the information in a biased way such that people would see this as a case of racism when it clearly wasn't. However, I do agree that many people at that point wanted Zimmerman to be guilty because they...

Um, seems pretty clearly first degree murder. Not sure much to say other than he needs to be locked up.

Hah, yeah, so even though Trayvon had gotten to his home and Zimmerman had backed off, that somehow the jury would still buy that he felt threatened and had to go find Zimmerman and attack him? That is some serious grasping for sure.

Your entire premise is untrue.

Old people, women, yeah, they wouldn't have free speech in your world, but thats great right? As long as we do what we can to protect those that want to physically assault others!

The only way to change it would be to invalidate your right of self-defense if you had said something to 'anger' someone or 'followed' them. Then we would live in a world where someone could physically assault you because you had offended them or 'crowded' them. Now that would be a great...

Cats sink in lube? Man, the things you learn on the internet.

Holy jesus that is alot of lube.

Stand your ground Numbers. We have evidence of Hodj's malicious intent from these posts.

So Duppin and TJ can get any thread they want locked by going in there and just blanket calling everyone a racist and throwing out racial slurs? Nice.

Mainly because just pretty much every shred of evidence pointed to it being a legal case of self-defense. None of the evidence supported the media narrative, which was that Zimmerman profiled Trayvon and continued to stalk him.

Hell, isn't the whole reason they went with the special prosecutor was they figured a grand jury would decide that they had no reason to bring charges?

Yeah, all the pathetic racists. Actually, the people in this thread run the gamut from rightwing to leftwing, from feminists to tea-party, we have people like Chaos, Hodj, Tanoomba, Lithose, myself, Astro, Bold, Triangular, Gavinrad, all who disagree on all kinds of different topics...

This is pretty much the bottom line. Normally a criminal trial won't prove someone is innocent. However, this case was such an utter farce from the prosecution. It was very clear they had zero evidence. Hell, the evidence they did present tended to support Zimmerman's side. The only thing they...
