Zimmerman to be charged

  • VTSmitty said...

    I think the dumbest argument is that someone saw Martin on top of Zimmerman beating his ass. Knowing how they got that way is pretty important. If Zimmerman instigated the fight, got his ass whooped and then shot Martin, not exactly a stand your ground situation.

    I guess now we'll find out a lot of the details.

    It is a stand your ground situation if Martin was trying to beat Zimmerman to death. If he was crying for help, etc. and Martin didn't stop, he crossed a line in which he became the assailant and it IS a stand your ground situation.

    It wasn't, it was self-defense. Especially with the stand your ground law in effect, which like it or not, it was. The ignorant mobs don't get to decide to arbitrarily decide which laws get to be enforced and when based on the color of a kid's skin...and let's make no mistake, COLOR is what the mobs are mad about, nothing more.

    Self defense? He follows the kid with a gun after being told not to, and its self defense? From what, the bag of skittles?

    Perhaps you missed the fight in which Martin was seen on top of Zimmerman swinging away. At a certain point, it becomes self-defense regardless of how it started. Had Zimmerman walked up on him with the gun out, the story might be different, but apparently he didn't pull it until just before he shot. Libs like you like to block out pertinent facts that don't back up your delusion though, so not surprising.

    It wasn't a lawful order.

    This is all hypothetical, but if Zimmerman started the fight, stand your ground went out the window. If someone attacks me in a situatlion like that, I know to beat them until they are completely incapacitated. Conscious people can still pull guns or knives.

    One thing that is perplexing to me is that by Zimmerman's account, he walked back to his car and was nearly there when Martin jumped him. By the account of Martin's girlfriend, Martin was walking hurriedly away, but Zimmerman caught up with him. Seems if Zimmerman is telling the truth, Martin's body should have been close to his car. If Martin's girlfriend's account is true, Martin's body should have been a considerable distance from the car. I don't know what the proximity of the body to the car was. But one of those stories is completely a lie.

    She doesn't have motive to lie unlike Zimmerman, so I'd argue that assessment.

    I don't really have an OPINION yet, but it is a fact(we have been told) that Martin's body was found quite a distance from the car. One of the inconsistencies that continues to be brought up.

    She told her story very early. Really wouldn't have made any sense to lie at the time. Also, if I remember correctly, they did verify Martin and the girlfried were talking at the time she said.

    Still, never heard so many conflicting accounts and versions. One witness even reported the guy in the white shirt was on top of the other guy beating his ass, though neither of them had on a white shirt.

    Thank goodness Al Sharpton and Jesse are involved and will sort it out and see that justice prevails.

  • Can't believe anybody actually thinks Sharpton and Jesse are respectable people. They are class A racists.

    Of course they are applauded by the liberals. Liberals not only condone black racism, they applaud and encourage it.

  • The thing I don't get is if this was an open and shut case then Zimmerman would have been charged already. Now you have media pressure and public outcry and their going to charge Zimmerman. I'm pretty sure DA's charge people based on their belief that they can get a conviction. If you weren't going to charge someone... you probably weren't to confident that you were going to convict and now we have a trial that wasn't supposed to occur but is now. All the parents/Trayvon supporters want is a trial... but what is the point of a trial if there wasn't a chance for conviction in the first place? If Zimmerman walks what a royal waste of money and then your going to have all the backlash.

    How many other people are murdered daily... but we let the media whip us up into a frenzy over this one... cuz he only had some skittles. We sure do like a good dose of controversy.

    If that was in reference to my comment, I assure you it was completely sarcastic.

    Lulz, I hope you are kidding.

    Yes all liberals condone black racism, and applaud Jesse and Sharpton. Way to paint every person with the same brush.

  • This isn't about killing an innocent kid as that happens everyday in this country. It is about race. If this was a white kid or an hispanic kid, this wouldn't even be news. If zimmerman was black, this wouldn't be news. I don't know what happened that night, but if he isn't found guilty it will be chaos.

  • Listen, everyone, let's just hope this turns out for the best for the greatest majority of people. At this point, it doesn't really matter what happened or what didn't happen on the night that this 9 year old child lost his life.

    What matters is that we, as a nation, don't want race riots. I know that Caucasian people don't want African-Americans coming after them and killing them in the streets. This has gotten way out of control and even Obama, our President, is saying that this killer should be brought to justice.

    Do you want to worry about the Black Panthers and the Justice Department coming after you? I don't. This idiot Hispanic, this Zimmerman clown, killed a small child who was eating some freaking Skittles and walking home to his grandmothers house minding his own business.

    Why he is being described as white, I don't know. Obama isn't described as white. On the behalf of all white people, I want to apologize to all black people for what has happened and beg forgiveness and just tell all of you that Zimmerman isn't one of us, he is one of those "Hispanic" types.

    I don't want black people coming into my neighborhood and killing my family and my relatives because of what some Latino did. Let's just, as a country, find this clown wherever he is hiding and just execute him so that there will be peace and so that Eric Holder and the Black Panthers won't turn against us.

    Who really cares what happened at this point? Just catch this guy and award the money the DOJ and the Black Panthers are offering to whomever catches him, and have a public execution of some sort so that everyone won't be mad at each other and all the tension will go away.
