Damn you sound like a thug. Where's zimmerman when we need him to shoot this guy?

So anyone who speaks softly and carries a big stick and refuses to be a victim is a thug now?

I thought thug status required some level of malicious provocation.

You seem to have a problem with empowered people who aren't easy to victimize.

Well if it was 893 I would have had to wonder why one of the mags wasn't full

But I think you missed my real point...not that it bothers me in the least you have them, wish I could just find some FDE pmags myself right now, I only have 4:'(

I have 5 brand new sealed window FDE mags I don't need, PM me.

I'm just trolling you dude. These threads are a fucking joke and so is every internet tough guy. You get your jollies imagining yourself cutting down hordes of bad guys and I get mine messing with people that take themselves too seriously.

For this incident I doubt it, too much baggage for anyone except an actual racist to find any increased value in it

Of course, that doesn't mean there would be any shortage of buyers. I would be stunned if he couldn't get a couple of thousand bucks for it.

Sadly you're right...there are more than a few sick people left in this country, it would piss me off if he tried that though.

Alan Dershowitz is anything but a right wing nut yet he thinks the special prosecutor should have some legal problems with her conduct in this case:

“What she did is she filed a false affidavit before the judge in order to get a second degree murder charge,” Dershowitz said, “failed to tell the judge that there were photographs and failed to show the photographs that demonstrated that Zimmerman’s nose had been broken, that he had wounds in the back of his head. She misled the judge into giving her an overcharge second degree murder charge against Zimmerman. That is a true violation of civil rights.”

There're a few interesting facts that I don't hear the media mention it anywhere (or maybe I missed it).

- Treyvon Martin was talking to his friend about a creepy man following him, his friend told him to go home and he made it home (or close to). However, he hasn't though of for a single second to call the cops. Neither his friend. Instead he decides to take it by himself.

This is a big failure from his part and I won't blame him as much as his parents. At 17 and you decide to handle issue by fist fight instead of calling the cops.

By saying that, I am not big GZ fan even I do think the jury made the right decision. That guy shouldn't even carry gun if he uses deadly force as soon as he had a chance. He was fighting a 17 years old.

In my view, Trayvon Martin parents are as much guilty of theirs son death than GZ.

Agree.

Personally I place more blame on sbarronyna than tracy martin. Tracy just seemed 'along for the ride' while that racist mother gobbled up every microphone swung in her face spewing the lies about trayvon being an all A student, about to go into the air force, "had never been in trouble"....

I thought he was white

Or was that just the bullshit fed to everyone by the media in order to drum up outrage?

As long as he, GZ, and the encounter needs to be cut down and presented in a specific light, then GZ is still being referred to as white. That gamecard is still on in full force and quite valuable. They are not injecting race though, because they said so,... never mind the actions and other words they use.

One thing about all this smoke about Federal charges is to make some idiots feel better. In order for the Federal Government to fie charges, there has to be a clear indication of a broken Federal Law. The only one that would come close would be labeling the acts of what GZ did as a "hate crime" but the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) already ruled that out.

The Federal government can't charge GZ with any form of murder 2 or lesser umbrella charges AT ALL. That would be Double Jeopardy.

So the whole thing is a bunch of media and NAACP smoke.

I don't know. With all the craps people paid for such as a piece of cereal/candy that looked kinda like Jesus/a US President, some hair or teeth from someone famous and so on. I would not count out the sheer stupidity of the general population.

The parents are just that, nothing more nothing less. TM was his own man. The other important part of TM's character is that he was big into street fighting, as proven by his numerous txts dicussing his wins/losses and desires to see oppenents bleed more. Doesn't mean anything more than that TM had a propensity for fighting, but it does play an important role in what he considered regarding GZ as a threat and or victim and his ability to handle it. Whether he saw GZ as a victim or threat, unlikely he would have called cops regardless.

Imagine if the verdict had gone the other way. It very easily could have. Difficult as it is over an internet forum, try putting the shoe on the other foot. Please show some respect.

This man has lost what he feels is right. What I suggest we do is argue logically, and morally, to educate and/or impress upon him our thoughts and feelings on the matter. To honestly explain why we feel this verdict is the right thing.

To me it's a question of Self Defense. Of not having the evidence to refute that claim, and to ask ourselves if that's reasonable, is that okay? Perhaps to examine and outline cases where it is or isn't Self Defense.

Perhaps we can reassure folks on the other side that we aren't out roaming the streets hoping to gun down 17 year old black kids.

The smiley wasn't mine, the rest was.

People need to come to the realization that assaulting someone is not ok. Then proceeding to bash someone's head into concrete is even worse.

Getting out if your vehicle is not illegal.

Following someone is not illegal.

Walking back to your vehicle is not illegal.

Answering a question with a question when confronted by someone is not illegal.

Being assaulted (The sucker punch, head bashing into concrete and then throwing punches.) by someone is an illegal act by the other party.

Shooting someone in self defense due to fear of losing your life is not illegal.

Do these people have any evidence beyond a reasonable doubt with anything at all?

This whole thing was a farce to make people feel better. If Obama wants to invite brining civil rights charges against a hispanic that was acquitted of murder in an obvious self defense case during an election year? Go for it! Republicans will enjoy taking seats from Democrats.

Actually it was "creepy ass cracka" which is a racial slur, or just normal language according to them for some reason...and TM's decision to insert himself back into a situation he had gotten out of is exactly why this is such a clear case of self defense, he wasn't "chased down", he ran away but decided to return on his own and start a fight. And I think you nailed it that his parents are as much to blame as GZ, doesn't appear like he had much oversight considering his other activities and the possibility of his dad helping him get an illegal handgun is just icing on the cake of bad parenting

It would have to be pretty public to garner any real big offers and mental defectives are barred from buying guns so the normal morons buying that crap would not be eligible
