He's an innocent man who's will be persecuted greatly in the short-term, and there's a good chance in the long-term as well. He's not a rich man like OJ who can just avoid the plebes.
The Prosecution wasn't incompetent at all. My understanding is that they brought in heavy hitters for this. They just didn't have a case, and it was still a pretty close call.
The extent of injuries don't matter one itsy-bitsy bit. He was in fear for his life. I would be too, only I'd probably be in the hospital or dead as I don't own a gun, let alone carry one.
At least you aren't shitting it up (if in fact you are) about race like everyone in the media. Newest excuse? 5 white women on the jury is why he was found not guilty. Obvious racism.
The media stories this morning are really, really disgusting. I can easily see why so many people are outrage by this verdict. They need to actually look into the case and not trust their favorite (and probably only) "news" source.
The blacks and Mexicans in this nudie bar seem to be handling the news very well. Exploitation of naked women solves racism.
Amazing how people who haven't followed the thread pop up now with the stupid shit we've debunked 100 times.
Outside of us laughing at the prosecution and Numbers trolling (which I didn't mind too muh since it kept things moving) thus and previous thread did a good job of following the trial and going over what is crap and what isn't.
Edited cuz Doing this in phone
I think the prosecution did a good job of making it really convoluted in that courtroom. For us outside looking in, it seems obvious. For them, though, especially after getting the lesser charge instructions, I am thinking it's not clear cut anymore.
Edit: And they're women.
About the skinhead comment? Ya, it was sarcasm. Sorry - I thought it was obvious.
Still don't get why everyone says he called 911 when his lawyers are saying it was 311. Minor detail, maybe.
This guy a Kiwi? I like him.
You want me to believe anything a skinhead says?
I don't get the constant 911 calls? The defense kept saying GZ called 311, a non-emergency number...was there more than one call?
If convicted, I would love to see the guy who made the 4th of July youtube video try to pull a Trayvon on people following him - "Am I being detained, Cracka?!?!?!?!?"
What's funny is we've bought into the whole following thing and concentrating on it, because the obvious answer is, So? That's not illegal and he was in his right, which is true. But didn't Martin kind of blindside him in the first place? Zimmerman didn't even know where Martin was, so I...
So any educated, well-spoken person is gonna be right about things? Do you really believe that? That sounds like a very lemmingish thing to say. I love Lithose's posts, which is why I'm even more critical of them.
Mental disorders have to be judged against a norm. A lot of successful...
Car accident. Road-rage dude comes at you. Come one step closer and I will shoot you. Again, alternative would be to shoot first and talk later.
Let me clarify a bit before we start arguing over nothing. The threat of deadly force can deescalate a situation as well as escalate it. It...
Not really. I can think of a bunch of situations were this is completely correct. Take people trespassing on your farm, ranch, or homestead. Hey, I have a gun, and am fully within my right to use it...Or someone trying to break in your door. I will shoot if you come through that door. The...
I've been unable to find any stats on the trial and how many objections were brought forth by each side, and whether or not they were overruled or sustained by the judge. Those numbers obviously need to be taken with a grain of salt, but I'm still curious.
So if Zimmerman is found guilty, it sets precedent for celebrities to turn around and beat the life out of paparazzi or fans that follow them? Almost makes me want to see GZ fry.
I think Numbers actually thinks that GZ did something illegal, based on "he should have let TM do whatever he wanted and not get involved". If everyone did this, I think I may become a criminal.
Edit: Or move to Canada to become a criminal.
Every time I hear the prosecutor bring up Hate (He's really pushing it a lot) I think of the post of him doing pull-ups with HATE and FEAR tattooed on his knuckles.
Having an excess of opportunities or advantages.
I suppose since I don't know that, I should just say douches being douches. That work for ya? White being optional.
