    Then his girlfriend should have kicked George out after the first alleged assault. I'm glad she finally called the cops on him. He is better off in jail.

    Well it's equally divided between cause and effect in his case. Sans the media's plastering of his every fart and sneeze on news blurbs he would still be a somewhat troubled man regarding the nature of his personal life . . . just as millions of men and women are in this nation with failed relationships and economic stresses preying on their minds, seemingly robbing them of palatable options. But couple such high stress issues WITH the media watching his every move with baited breath and you have a recipe for a looming disaster.

    This is a fellow who could do with an extended bout in a contemplative retreat, but that's rather difficult to pull off sans finances (who the heck really knows if he's comparatively rolling in dough at this point or on the brink of going to jail for failure to pay his debts?) and while one's legal hassles have again grown significant enough to lead to a possibility of either heavy fines or jail time or both -- but most certainly attorney fees -- and those folk want paying for their time and services.

    Looking at Zimmerman as he is today I think of a ticking clock and a boiler with the trapped water getting hotter and the pressure building and with the release valve stuck shut. Not a pretty picture.

    Ah so you are just going off of what you heard. Would you believe that white women benefit more from it than anyone.

    Get out of town with that weak crap. Everyone with alittle bit of common sense knows that this coward is responsible for that kid's death that is why his coward a is running around scared.

    Regardless of who benefits from Affirmative Action there are invariably the victims of this form of discrimination. Considering that there is no way to avoid discrimination, it makes sense that qualifications should be the motivation behind discrimination instead of quotas on gender and race.

    So when white people are discriminated due to their race they are just suppose to suck it up? But when blacks claim they are being discriminated that is not whining?

    Those were gang members.

    Ask law abiding black Floridians like Marisa Alexander or Trevor Dooley how SYG worked for them.

    There's a good bit more about the use of SYG.. Drug lords killing other drug lords have been acquitted under SYG.

    Marisa Alexander had a horrible case for SYG.

    Which had absolutely nothing to do with her being black.

    But i guess we can always count on libs for some race baiting.

    It depends on the race of the victim also.

    No one cares if a black person kills another black person.

    But ask Trevor Dooley what happens if you kill a white person and even the dead man's daughter testified that Dooley had turned away to go back to his home when James attacked him eventually ending up on top of him choking him out.

    If George Zimmerman could claim self defense after leaving his truck and following Trayvon and got off scott free I am sure that Marisa Alexander should have been able to use SYG against a man against whom she had an active restraining order and who admitted that he had abused every woman in his life.

    SYG seems to only apply when you kill the other person and there are no witnesses to contradict you. Sad

    LOL! Then neither can blacks. Can't have it go just one way and expect equality.

    Maybe the Alexander did have to do with racist Angela Corey. She hates blacks and white/hispanics.

    who cares about equality man? This is about what is right, some black guy is out there right now abandoning his children, smoking crack and robbing liquor stores because his great great great grand daddy was a slave and we owe it to him to give him an artificial advantage over whites.

    Who says we owe them anything? I don't suffer from white guilt so I don't get that. Things do need to get bad though. It is the only way some people will see the truth. I am sure many white settlers felt bad about the way the Native Americans were treated until they started seeing them turn violent. History will repeat.

    Really?

    That weak pablum is your best?

    Maybe Zimmermans self defense case should have involved what he had for breakfast that morning or that probably before that he was safe in bed and he should have not gotten up that day and left the house in fear of being attacked.

    Marisa claimed SYG.

    The judge i believe rejected it.

    Oh, and the jury took a whole 12 minutes to decide she was guilty.

    The two cases could not be further apart.

    Only the delusional or liberal would not see that.

    Nice sarcasm but it won't change the fact that George had already contacted the police before he left his truck to follow Trayvon.

    He still never gave a logical reason for following Trayvon.

    He admitted that he saw Trayvon committing no crime, but George had already decided to follow Trayvon before he made the call to the police which was his way of creating a record just in case something went wrong when he attempted to apprehend Trayvon.

    The problem with the laws in FL is that they are effed up.

    When someone can fire a warning shot into the ceiling and get 20 years while someone can followed an unarmed teenager just because and the teenager ends of up dead and the laws in FL make proving that the person didn't act in self defense nearly impossible then there is something very wrong.

    Why? Was there someone threatening Alexander with imminent death or serious bodily harm. Just because someone is under a restraining order and may have abuse someone else does not give you license to use deadly force against them.

    It didn't apply in the Zimmerman case that was simple self-defense.

    Can you answer the question?

    So when white people are discriminated due to their race they are just suppose to suck it up? But when blacks claim they are being discriminated that is not whining?

    His actions were perfectly reasonable as was demonstrated in court.

    He never claimed otherwise so there was no "admitting" to be done. He was quite clear in what he said to the NEN dispatcher, the person was ACTING SUSPICIOUS, he never claimed or intimated that the person HAD committed a crime.

    He was watching him as neighborhood WATCH people are supposed to do when they see a person acting suspicious. His actions were perfectly reasonable that night and the prosecution could not show otherwise.

    Not a shred of evidence to support your bogus claim.

    There was no problem with FL self-defense law which mirrors the same laws in most states. If you have a reasonable fear for your life or of serious bodily harm you can defend yourself and if necessary use deadly force. When Martin assaulted him and beat him he had such a fear.

    I believe the case you are referring to the shot was fired at the person and a child standing next to them when there was no imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm.

    You left out the felony assault Martin committed and the threat of death or serious bodily harm he was engaged in against Zimmerman as was proven in court. Something would have been very wrong had Zimmerman served a day in jail for it.

    There was NO FELONY assault committed by Martin. . .if there were, why don't you show the "guilty verdict" for Martin?

    Even after the trial, there is still no definite answer to whom attacked first. Zimmerman ONLY got off because of the "reasonable doubt" clause.

    NOTHING was proven during trial. Get real!

    No one should be discriminated against and when it happens to anyone it should be pointed out. When whites are discriminated against who is usually the one discriminating against them? Also whites have never been discriminated against in this country on the level that black folks have, it is basically something that rarely ever happens.
