For those unable to understand what he was saying: Apparently RFremont and I rarely agree (I never noticed); yet this is a topic we do agree on. And I agree 100% with his second paragraph.

No... its legal to shoot a guy who starts pummeling you in the face while you are down.

When hiring for a position and getting money's worth being a smart guy counts, not being a good guy. :2 cents:

i dont know what crack you have been smoking if you think travon was some innocent kid.

funny how many people give a fuck about this trial

So if your seventeen year old child was waking home from the store, saw a man watching him, tried to run away and ended up shot and dead by that same man... You would just accept that?

Do you not understand?

• Man notices child
• Man follows child
• Child gets scared.
• Child runs.
• Man shoots child

Don't give me any bullshit Zimmerman was defending himself.

If my son decides he is going to try and prove a point by assaulting someone, that is something we will have to deal with. I may not be happy about the result but I have to stay based in reality.

You should try it sometime. :2 cents:

You realize, no matter how many times you attempt to skew the facts, that does not change things, right?

Jees, you should have shut up while you were ahead. Every time you open your mouth it gets worse!

More like:

• Man notices thug
• Man follows thug
• Thug takes offense that he's being watched
• Thug confronts man, is itching for a fight
• Thug gets shot when he goes for mans gun and man gets gun first
  

He was never ahead.

Can you please point me to where he was ahead, I must have missed that. TIA.

obanawinning

so now its skittles instead of grape soda and watermelon? dont be surprised by the future events :2 cents:

he brought a gun to a fist fight! you dont understand that???

Keep twisting the truth as much as you want; it does not change facts.

so they both had guns? twisting what? doesn't matter he was a thug so the parents should just let it go.

Nothing anyone says here will be able to change my mind.

This was a wannabe cop who had been rejected, who wanted to play police officer. He was armed with a handgun and TWO FLASHLIGHTS. Who goes to the store carrying two flashlights on their person? He pursued this kid even after the kid RAN from him. A confrontation took place, and the only side we have is Zimmerman's. It's not like he doesn't have a long history of spinning bullshit.

Zimmerman's wounds weren't life threatening. Not even close. He shot a kid over a fist fight.

He was ahead before he started the thread or even before he offered his opinion.

And Trayvon was a wannabe thug who got his ass handed to him.

Based on his posts on this message board (and I don't mean this thread alone btw), I'm gonna wager that he's been behind for a long, LONG time.

i hope his death is slow and painful. :2 cents: op thank you for protecting my family

Why couldn't the kid be a normal person and use his words? "Why are you following me? Oh i see. Im staying over at so and so's house. You can call them if you want. I was just coming from the variety store. See my candy? Oh, thats not a problem. I understand how you might be suspicious of a stranger walking down your street at night after you telling me about your robbery problems. Have a nice evening."

In fairness, if someone was following me under those circumstances I probably wouldn't stop to find out what they wanted either.

But MY question would be why didn't HE phone the police to tell them he was being followed?

He has already said that does not matter. I am trying to figure the relevance of him having two flashlights; TBH, I don't recall the testimony saying he had two flashlights (unless Rochard means the one on the pistol), however, I do recall GZ saying the one he had did not work and I recall a witness saying the one GZ used was too light to be an effective weapon (he admitted that he thought it was going to be a heavier one, like cops used. He pretty much laughed at the idea of it being a weapon).

That would have been the logical response to GZ AFTER TM's father had a conversation with TM about being careful out there. Neither happened. I wonder why? :1orglaugh

He was so terrified and in fear for his life that he talked to some chick he'd only met 3 times, on the phone almost the entire time, instead of calling the police or just continuing to walk home.

Meanwhile, just weeks before....

"Trayvon’s backpack contained 12 pieces of jewelry, in addition to a watch and a large flathead screwdriver, according to the report, which described silver wedding bands and earrings with diamonds.

Trayvon was asked if the jewelry belonged to his family or a girlfriend.

Martin replied “it’s not mine. A friend gave it to me,” .... Trayvon declined to name the friend."

Very good question.

Being the only adult involved, and the only member of the neighborhood watch, why didn't Zimmerman identify himself as a member of the neighborhood watch? He couldn't roll down the window and say "My name is George Zimmerman, and I am a member of the neighborhood watch. Can you help you?" Maybe if Zimmerman was more interested in being an adult and less interested in playing police officer, that seventeen year old kid would be alive today.

This is a huge part of the problem with what happened. Zimmerman handled this like an idiot from the beginning. He profiled a seventeen year old child, he failed to identify himself, he followed a suspect in the dark, and he failed to follow the advice of the 911 operator. Everything he could have done wrong, he did.

He was too busy running away.

And?

While everyone knows exactly what happened a week prior, that night he was nothing more than a seventeen year old kid waking back from the store. He didn't have a screw driver, he had a bag of skittles and an ice tea.

Imagine if your wife / girlfriend / sister / daughter goes out to the store wearing a hoodie in the rain and gets shot dead on the way home for no reason.

I can't imagine my girlfriend running around in a gated community, in the night, in the rain, in a place she didn't live in and wasn't known by anyone, darting in and out of other peoples private property, in the dark, in an area plagued by burglaries... then ultimately walking up to someone and punching them in the face and jumping on top of them and continuing to beat the shit out of them, breaking their nose, banging their head on the sidewalk, punching their face as they scream for help for nearly a minute with witnesses.

And i would submit that its relevant that a dude who got busted with a backpack full of womens jewelry just weeks prior might have very well been looking at acting like who would steal womens jewelry. Do your kids do that too?

.... who just weeks before got busted with backpack containing a large screw driver and womens jewelry, refusing to say where it came from and who was wandering around in the dark in a gated community he did not live in, which was plagued by breakins/burgleries.

Maybe Zimmerman was dead on in his assumptions THAT LED HIM TO CALL THE POLICE BEFORE HE DID ANYTHING AT ALL.

He wasn't to busy to be on the phone with a girlfriend telling her that he would not run when she told him to run...now was he?

why are you still trying to work it out? you protest if that doesn't work you try something else. this country is headed towards when the talking is over. we now are picking sides for what may be the second civil war. this time there will be all kinds of colors on both sides. :2 cents:

Pigshit.

Yet he did run didn't he?

I did not create the US legal system, nor do I support the concept that if found innocent at a criminal court you get to sue to them in civil court. I haven't given this much thought, but you shouldn't be able to take someone to civil court if they've already been found innocent in criminal court. I understand the differences, but if you think about it this just doesn't make sense.

We are not about to have a civil war over this.

Korean store owners will make it a very short war. Will fuck you up again and again just like they did during LA riots. That taught you vauable lesson really fast. :2 cents:

Not that the girlfriend was aware of...not that I am aware of.

we are going to be seeing violence like we have never seen b4 :2 cents: on top of that there are terrorist waiting for the right moment. :2 cents:

Is that a threat?
