There is no evidence that I am aware of that Martin was carrying skittles...just a comment from the family lawyer.
IIRC, Zimmerman was in fact arrested, just not charged.
A “box” of skittles?
Sorry.
Susan Estrogen is still out to lunch.
At least she didn’t say “box of skillets”
And she evidently changed her mind. Which, for most liberals, is an impossible accomplishment.
Estrich is annoying. But she is one of those rare honest liberals.
Actually, he was hauled downtown in handcuffs, interrogated for five hours, just not arrested. Because there was manifestly no proof he did anything illegal.
She's very partisan but can smell BS, even liberal BS. I've seen her wrestle with her bad inner self during interviews and usually end up on the side of the Angels. She'll never be a conservative but she's intellectually honest, which is far more than can be said of Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and the rest of Comrade Obama's wild-eyed sycophants.
1. Facing death or serious bodily injury.
2. Unable to retreat unless you can throw of your attacker.
What does Florida's “Stand Your Ground“ law have to do in a situation where your attacker is on top of you breaking your
head open on the concrete under you?
If the accounts of George Zimmerman and the eyewitness
are correct this is a case of self defense and nothing
more, nothing less.
George Zimmerman had a constitutional right to defend himself no matter what state he was in and Florida's “Stand Your Ground“ law has nothing to do with it. And that is the rule of law.
This is turning out to be another case of lying media FAIL
just as it was with the Duke lacrosse team case.
Time will tell.
Was not aware you could handcuffed, taken in, held for 5hrs and yet not officially “arrested”. Interesting.
Police and prosecutors have been reluctant to arrest African-American men for killing white men? I was not aware of this.
I think she got confused in the middle of writing this and got it turned around. Isn’t that what it looks like to you?
Good for Susan. She was very good during the Duke lacrosse case, as well.
As the old timers used to say “Maybe she got her tongue over her eye teeth and couldn’t see what she was saying.”
I’m confused. Where is it that Zimmerman is shown to disobey the dispatcher’s statement about following the perp, saying “we don’t need you to do that.” In the transcript, Zimmerman says “OK.”
Anyone know where that is resolved?
First off, Zimmerman has no obligation to a suggestion from a dispatcher
Estrich is a liberal, but more the old-fashioned Democrat kind of liberal as opposed to the race-baiting looney communist scum that currently runs the Democrat party. From seeing her guest appearances on TV many times over the years, her comments here do not surprise me.
“I understand the president’s identification with Trayvon Martin. I understand his concerns that deaths such as this have, historically, been too easily ignored on racial grounds.”
She is naive or lying. Zero’s comments have nothing to do with “identification” and everything to do with pumping up the black vote before the election.
This is the tried and true tactic of the left to enhance black voter turnout. It happens every election. Remember the ads blaming George Bush for dragging that black kid behind the car on a rope?
