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.
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.
Police and prosecutors have been reluctant to arrest African-American men for killing white men? I was not aware of this.
Good for Susan. She was very good during the Duke lacrosse case, as well.
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?
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?
>> Comments?
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.
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. 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.
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.
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?
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!
One of the more reasonable opinions I’ve read/heard regarding this matter.
“The most notorious example of this, obviously, was the Duke lacrosse team case, where the prosecutor moved too fast, where his motives were political, where a thorough investigation would have spared not only the young men involved but also, ironically, the young woman, whose reputation was also ruined in the process.”
The young woman whose reputation was also ruined?
Is Susan stupid or what?
The whole thing started because Crystal was a shakedown artist that tried to extort more money out of those stupid boys. She’s now in jail for murdering her last boyfriend.
A little bit about Crystal’s ‘reputation’.
