It’s a RAT county.

I hope they tear the place apart, regardless of the verdict.

I saw the video where GZ walked police through what happened, before he had attorneys. And I hear there was a video prepared that the judge would not allow defense to use.

advice for Holder’s people:

go to the store, write your name and obamaphone number on a piece of tape and place it on the back of the TV. That should reserve it for you when you return on Friday.

Well, here we are. What next?

It was a rhetorical question actually but you have given the correct answer. How many times and how badly does the law have to be broken for a response to be just?

“The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants.” - Thomas Jefferson

Know where we can find any Patriots? I know where there are a bunch of Tyrants.

Good point.

As I’ve always said, when these people riot, they usually tear up their own neighborhoods,

causing HUNDREDS of dollars in damages.

Zimmerman was absolutely wrong in following him for any length of time longer than to place the call to the dispatcher. His role as a Neighborhood Watch patroller was over at the point of conclusion of that phone call.

Why?

On what grounds?

Spot on!

One of the operative issues in this case is the ultimate imperative. It doesn’t matter if there was following, or not. It doesn’t matter if GZ was given instructions (he wasn’t) that he disobeyed. There is one most significant issue, which if true, prevents all further discussion. That is: Did GZ at the time he fired his Kel-Tec reasonably believe his lifewas endangered, or serious bodily harm was going to occur. If it did, he could defend himself. All else is window dressing.

Another FReeper posted this morning on another thread the following logical argument that I believe you will hear urged in closing argument. Assume there are two men. One has a gun, and the other doesn’t. One is a soft, formerly pudgy man afraid of personal confrontation. Who starts the fight? I would posit that the one without the gun would begin fisticuffs. A man with a gun, wanting to dissuade another, at most, would brandish (not advised) to warn the other.

But, regardless who started the physical exchange, did GZ have a reasonable belief that his life was endangered to the point of death or serious bodily injury. The test is subjective - not objective. It is not what any other person (jury, lawyer, judge) thinks. It is what GZ was thinking “in the moment”.

That is the Florida law that the jury will be instructed upon.From reading the two stautes it seems that there is good reason for law enforcement to anticipate riots.

Might be a good idea for folks in that area to hide their Dogs.

A 911 operator is not a deputized officer of the law, and his or her requests are not binding.

I’d send any HDTV’s, X-Boxes, Blu-Ray DVD players( If you loot a HDTV,
you got to have a matching Blu-Ray player to go with it), etc to Fort Knox
to protect them.

That was written years ago. The end of the “awkward stage” is approaching rapidly.

I understand the video the judge would not allow the defense to be used is a animated video

Sequoyah101 ~:” How long ago was that?”

Sometime between 2003 - 2005
