As I recall it took them a long time to report Zimmerman's side of events.
Ah, but according to the article, the shotgun hasn’t been found. This doesn’t mean it wasn’t tossed, but we’ll see.
Dispute over loud music? = Stupid.
Leave the scene? = Really stupid.
Then, to be tracked down by the police? They charged him with second degree murder. Duh!
Ah, but according to the article, the shotgun hasn’t been found. This doesn’t mean it wasn’t tossed, but we’ll see.
There are probably pictures of it on the SUV occupants’ Facebook accounts or cell phones.
What is significant about it? Everyone has been reporting the story the same way, as soon as his attorney put out a claim of a shot-gun, everyone reported it, so what is the big deal?
Who has been holding anything back? Heck you have been on a long thread that had all kinds of reporting of it, so why pretend that they weren't?
We all need to be wary of any story like this that makes Blacks “innocent” during these types of crimes....we know from the George Zimmerman case that the media will lie to cover for Blacks...even at the expense of other minorities
Sad part is that Jack Booted Nazi Thug Angela Corey is the State Atty in Jacksonville (Duval County) and she has another Stand Your Ground victim to prosecute. This one will be a little easier for her as the victim is White
Maybe the weakest spot in the case for applying SYG even if the shotgun, or evidence of it, were found. It's unclear at best if SYG should apply to shooting a fleeing assailant. I'm also surprised with that little bitty 9 mm gun someone was badly wounded, let alone killed.
But the NYT wasn’t able to complete the story without one bogus comparison of “no weapon found.” Well in the Traytable case, it is also “no weapon alleged,” and there has not been a formal filing asking for SYG in the Traytable case, which there has to be in order to use it.
I suspect he was really drunk, which was probably one of the reasons he left the scene. Actually, it was probably one of the reasons the whole thing happened.
Yep. Sure they do. I would go around looking for perps to blow away if my state had that law. / bitter sarc
Mr. Dunn will probably die in prison. We’ll see what all comes out in the courtroom.
But one lesson might, “might,” just be learned by some of our yutes:
Crazy Old White Guys might just pull out a blaster and shoot your ass if you blast your music too loud in the parking lot.
9mm's have killed a lot of people.
“There is no racial motivation here whatsoever,” Ms. Lemonidis said. “He would have never, ever, in a million years pulled a gun if his life was not threatened. He saw a shotgun, and four inches of the barrel, and the guy said to him, ‘This is going down now’ and popped the door open.”
There is absolutely no racial motivation in the Trayvon Martin case, as well. To say there is - is a blatant lie.
His story is evolving -- the "threatened to kill him" is new. If the music was so loud how would he hear any threats. And "began to open the door" is also new but the back doors were locked and lock controlled from the front.
His story is evolving -- but his problems are many.
Everyone involved in this story is stupid and lying.
Of course it can and has. It’s just it’s such a piddly weapon from the viewpoint of having to use it for self defense in a chaotic situation.
Somebody points a shot gun at you and it ain’t a threat to kill?
Sorry but that is a pathetic excuse. If you are afraid go in the store and lock the door. The clerk was already on the phone to the police and if not he should have been.
Was he in any way concerned that the shots that he fired at the vehicle might have gone awry and hit some innocent person in the line of fire???.
I do not see how you can say his "story is evolving" when this is in the first account that was put out by his attorney. The only other accounts that I recall were saying that he claimed self defense, so I do not see any "evolution".
