A person is more likely to take additional risks that a person who is not carrying or only has pepper spray. The goal of every watch program is to observe and report, not to get involved. that's why every watch program will tell you to never leave a car. its just not needed. Again it's not illegal, but certainly a poor decision on his part.



I see. So the suspicious person can once again be gone by the time the cops arrive. Which I'm sure Zimmerman and his community were getting tired of.

All this stuff is a lot easier to sit back an critique in hindsight than it was at the time it happened.

that's a good point d day. that night Zimmerman didnt go out of his way not to take additional risks that night. if he had, he never would have gotten out of his car.


So your assumption is he did this because he was armed? I can just as easily assumed he would have done it armed or not. He was trying to protect his neighborhood. Had he not been armed, he may be the one who is dead.

According to Zimmerman he saw a suspicious person wandering around the neighborhood. It was dark, raining, the person appeared to be on drugs, and may have had "something" (presumably a weapon) tucked into his waist band.

Zimmerman decided to follow him to see where he went. 911 told him that wasnt necessary so he started to head back to his vehicle. At this point he was on the inner sidewalk where the confrontation occurred and martin was shot and killed.

Should he be able to walk around his neighborhood with out the threat of being jumped? Of course he should. Was he breaking any laws? Not that I could see.

That doesnt mean his actions were risky and somewhat irresponsible on his part. Things are not always black and white and just because something is legal, doesnt mean its a good idea.

Similarly, if I wanted to walk through the fith ward at night wearing a Klan Hood and carrying a confederate battle flag, I would have every legal right to do so. But that doesnt mean its a good idea..


Sorry, but I read this and really don't see it as taking a big risk nor being irresponsible. What he did was no different than if he lived in that area and was walking from his apartment to his house.

And I think that last paragraph is a bit of a stretch.

Stevie Wonder proves justice isn't blind.

On another note, Dr. Carol Swain of Vanderbilt Law School calls out the Zimmerman racebaiters for what they are.

I'm not surprised PBS didn't evenly weight their panel ... but who would be?

"I don't think you can say when a child is walking down the street, doing nothing wrong and buying candy and ice tea, and gets shot and killed in the street largely because he is African-American and there no one accountable for that death is justice. I think it's quite clear that, no, justice wasn't done in this case."


Who knew that breaking a man's nose isn't wrong.

from the article linked above

quote:
The niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. says she is not a fan of the viral image of her uncle wearing a hoodie in support of Trayvon Martin. The image, created by artist Nikkolas Smith and spread widely by activist Van Jones on Twitter, shows a contemplative King wearing the garment, which has become a symbol of support for the slain 17-year-old.

โ€œI can almost promise you Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would not wear a hoodie,โ€ said Alveda King on the Andrea Tantaros radio show Tuesday when asked about the image. Alveda King is a former state representative in Georgia and a right-wing anti-abortion activist and minister.

King said she and two of her cousins are calling on Americans not to โ€œfight or debateโ€ about the case, which she thinks did not raise any significant racial issues. The 29-year-old neighborhood watchman who shot the unarmed Martin, George Zimmerman, was acquitted of all charges against him on Saturday. Zimmerman is half Hispanic, Martin was black. โ€œYou've got two grieving and hurting families,โ€ King said, before quoting her uncle. โ€œWe all need to live together as brothers.โ€

Tantaros asked King if she had seen the hoodie photo. โ€œWhat do you think of this image? And what would your uncle think?โ€ she asked.

โ€œDr. Martin Luther King Jr. would very likely not wear a hoodie,โ€ she said. โ€œI can assure you he would not wear sagging pants. I don't even think Iโ€™ve ever even seen his sons with sagging pants.โ€ King then said the verdict had been reached and that Americans must accept it, before adding again, seemingly agitated, โ€œI can almost promise you Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would not wear a hoodie.โ€œ

Dunno. Don't do the purple drank thang.

Maybe we can ask Jeantel. She educated. She got 3.0.

Is anyone else absolutely disgusted at Juror B37's grasp for fame?

First she wants to write a book, then decides against it, then gives an anonymous interview that pisses off the other jurors so much they respond to the media.

She probably had an "oh s*** I'm probably one of the most hated white woman right now" moment.

Not nearly as disgusted as I am with all the race baiters not familiar with the facts of the case, including our moron for a President.

Lean = Sprite, Jolly Rancher, and Codine syrup


my pain mgmt dr ripped me a new one when I requested 'liquid condine' after having my back surgery. Then he gave me a month worth of pills with a refill amd I was done needing them by the 3rd day


Back to my crazy pill point. How far does the average roof overhang? 2-3 feet max. Not to memtion in a house without gutters you are likely to get even wetter. Anyone who thinks this kid was just trying to stay dry is a damn fool

They speak as if they are not aware of the facts, but I think most actually are, which just makes it more despicable. Not sure about the President, he was probably just briefed by folks telling him the selected facts they thought he'd want to hear.
