With her every written word, Susan’s raspy, wheezing voice resonates at a deafening level tweaking the tinnitus I try to ignore.
Yeah, she can be sane at times.
That’s a pretty funny satire. Ironically, it did cross my mind when the story broke that maybe Trayvon did steal the Skittles.
Is that wrong? Am I a bad person?
(sniff)
“If you elect George Bush, black churches will burn!”
Yeah, for the shameless, scumbag Democrats there is no bottom of the sewer.
Thank you! I never put 2 and 2 together, but your comment makes sense. The “Stand your ground” law has NO application here. It’s just a liberal way of trying to get rid of a law that they don’t like. Not relevant in this case. Self-defense is more appropriate.
I understand the presidents identification with Trayvon Martin. I understand his concerns that deaths such as this have, historically, been too easily ignored on racial grounds. But it is essential that our leaders have the courage to say that, ultimately, the issue here should not be race. The issue is the rule of law, applied without regard to race.
So in other words, Hillary will be running as a centrist.
As if black churches "explode" all the time, and nobody reports on it.
Not to mention if black churches BURNED DOWN "all the time", like Bill Clinton remembers from his childhood.
Ridiculous. But there are cretins that believe it.
“.. interrogated for five hours..”
Would that length of time be unusual for a someone who had a broken nose, a head injury, and the truamatic experience of taking a life and almost losing your life? I know I would not have said more than I want an attorney and a ride to the hospital.
I don't believe that is true. SYG law is not relevant to this case though IMO.
The law does not require that the individual who resorts to deadly force be right.
No, Susan, I am certain that that is not the case. One is still required to believe, by the 'reasonable man' standard, that one's life or another person's life is in imminent danger. As a Constitutional scholar you should know better than to characterize a law without knowing it.
No, Zimmerman was not arrested. He was detained and questioned but not arrested.
This article is a hit piece on SYG laws disguised as reasonableness about the Martin/Zimmerman incident. Her apparent honesty about the law is cover for a political agenda.
Skittles is street slang for the drug dextromethorphan, or DXM found in some cough syrups.
What happened to Gloria?
Did she fall down and bump her head?
Re: Skittles
Is there actual documentation that Martin made any kind of purchase at a store before he was shot?
Right!
Re: Handcuffs
Handcuffing, searching, and physically examining the survivor is standard police procedure until the details are sorted out.
Zimmerman always had the option to say nothing - which is always the best plan when you find yourself at the center of an intensely emotional, intensely dangerous legal situation.
It appears that Zimmerman thought that “voluntarily cooperating” with the police might bolster his credibility.
Horrendous mistake.
Zimmerman could also have politely and persistently requested that he be released or arrested.
Based on just the physical evidence, it’s hard to see what grounds existed for an arrest.
Lesson learned.....
Unless you’re terrified of spending a couple nights in jail, NEVER talk about what happened, even if you’re completely innocent.
“Re: Skittles
Is there actual documentation that Martin made any kind of purchase at a store before he was shot?”
I think that is an important question. Now that FReepers have schooled me on drug language, I’d be interested in seeing an autopsy result. Since “skittles” is street code for Ritalin, maybe someone was scoping the neighborhood for easy cash. One other question: If Martin, while on top of Zimmerman, had somehow managed to pull the gun out of Zimmerman’s waistband and shoot him, would that have been acceptable to the Black community?
I can't recall a single instance where, in a discussion of a crime, she did not take the most extreme liberal and PC view possible.
Not once
Until tonight.
Maybe it's just too dark at 3:00 am to see pigs flying, but I am looking out the window anyway.
Ca alors!
PC is rotting your brain, Dude, Something I would expect Susan to say, but to her credit, she refrained.
"Being right" in this context, is NOT the after the fact definition of "right." It is the personal honest belief of the victim of an attack, at the moment, right or wrong.
The alternative interpretation is absurd. If we were to entertain the claims of the brainless mob with blood in their eyes, we would have to postulate that after shooting the "child" dead, Zimmerman then continued to break his own nose and give himself a concussion.
African Science and logic.
