George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin

[snapthis]

Tree, I suggest you stay away from Arizona because of your paranoia. It's normal to see someone walk into a restaurant with a side-arm in a holster in many of the rural high country towns. I remember being in Payson recently having dinner when a man came with his wife and kids, sidearm clearly visible. I could see some flatlanders nearby were upset. Too bad. People in these rural areas don't have the luxury of a patrol car nearby. They have to defend themselves.

FYI, I'm an NRA life member and support the Second Amendment.

What do his subsequent actions (how ever noble) have to do with his previous actions?

Were his previous actions a crime?

Really?

"George Zimmerman in court on Friday, July 12. The acquitted killer helped rescue a family from a car accident just four days after he was acquitted for murder, his legal team said.

George Zimmerman helped rescue a family from an overturned car after an accident in Florida last week, a spokesman for his lawyer said.

Zimmerman was driving on route 417 in Sanford on Wednesday when he spotted an overturned car and pulled over to help, Sean Vincent, a spokesman for Zimmerman's legal team, told the Daily News."

God help us if the guy he helped was black.

Looking back on those "almost thuggish" days, if you were walking thru a neighborhood, would that background have made it okay for someone to interrupt your walk and kill you? What part of Trayvon Martin did you personally see that allowed you to deem him a thug? My DAUGHTER went thru a phase of flashing gang signs and acting like what they termed a "wigger" - a white guy trying to be ghetto. Martin may well have become the next Biggie Smalls or Tupac Shakur, but all he was doing that night was walking in the rain. And I'm sorry, but I don't think that action deserved the death penalty.

Then he shouldn't have broken the law and assaulted Zimmerman.

I guess better is a relative term. More like spineless wankers who just wanted to shut me up rather than deal with the issues. Worked out for the better. My income is up over 30% from 5 years ago and I did not even need a union to do it. Do think I am embarrassed I was fired from American Airlines? I wanted my job back so I changed my alias. Never made any secret about it. I even still fly AA when their costs are competitive. I even just opened a Platinum Advantage card for additional miles. Planning on going to France and Germany for my wifes 50th birth day. Life is quite good after AA and out of the airline business. No need to deal with all the union/management BS. No OSO, no holiday's to worry about.


I miss the non-reving but from what I have heard that is even more difficult now due to capacity reductions and loads.

That all sounds so sweet but doesn't change the fact that you are a biased hypocrite with a continual negative outlook of everything.

Rev. Al Sharpton’s ‘Rent-a-RabbleRousers Inc.’ fizzling out?

Like the long ago Stella of movie fame, President Barack Obama seems to be losing his groove with his own dissident army of low information voters on the race riot march.
Proof of Obama’s gargantuan groove dive: At Friday’s White House press conference: “Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago.” Obama-style one upmanship after saying: “If I had a son he would look like Trayvon”.
This should have been all that Rev. Al Sharpton needed to take millions of protesters to the streets in the beginning of what originally looked like an America lost to massive racial unrest.

Instead, Sharpton, like Obama, fizzled out.

The reason why Race Riots 101 failed before the horses were even let out of the gate?

One of the progressives’ favourite words: “Sustainability”.

You can’t sustain race riot passion with leaders three times removed from afar. Protesters called to 100 American cities over the weekend know that Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Company rake in money as the CEOs of ‘Rent-a-RabbleRousers Inc.’ Worse, the average hoodie-wearing protester has to go home and face the music sooner than later. Their wives and mothers waiting it out at home will want to know what they have done about coming up with baby’s diapers and the rent money.

Too Much Trayvon and George

I can only speak for myself, but I want to be relieved of having to change the channels in order to get away from too much talk about Trayvon Martin and too much talk about George Zimmerman.
From all that I have read and heard, Trayvon was a wannabe street thug with a taste for drugs, tossed out of school a couple of times, and George was a wannabe police officer who ended up on his back, getting his head pounded into the cement, and concluded Trayvon might just kill him. George should have left after calling the police. Trayvon should have kept going too. But people make bad decisions and it sometimes gets them killed or on trial.
The trial was a self-defense case from start to finish. That’s what the jury found even though Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law wasn’t even introduced by Zimmerman’s attorneys and, even though race was not introduced as a factor during the trial by either the prosecution or defense.

Sharpton has been around much longer than the Tea Party.

Pimpin' has its virtues.

If the roles were reversed and Zimmerman was the Skittle eating, pot smoking perfect little boy and Trayvon the armed guard who was assaulted, the law allows him to stand his ground. I see nothing in the law which excludes blacks.

Do you think Trayvon would have been prosecuted under similar circumstances?

Do you think Trayvon would have been prosecuted under similar circumstances?

Yes.

Trayvon would never have been called an "armed guard" (that is the first time I have heard Zimmerman called that).

And he would have most likely ended up with a public defender who would have encouraged him to plea bargain and go to prison. There would have been minimal media coverage and Sharpton and gang would be nowhere around.

There would have been minimal coverage here too if DOJ and Obama hadn't stoked the fire of hate.

Under the same circumstances, and that's what your suggesting, Martin would not have been arrested or prosecuted. After a detailed investigation by the Sanford PD, Zimmerman wasn't arrested or prosecuted was he? As it turn out, the Sanford PD got it right.

If the roles were reversed, it would have taken a race baiting member of the Latino community or a Latino President to promote rage and order the DOJ to bring charges where no evidence of wrong doing was ever produced.

Lived in Tucson for 7 years.

I am not nor have I ever been a member of the NRA and I also support the 2nd ( as well as the rest of the COTUS).

According to FL state law no.
