Prosecutor: Zimmerman 'Profiled' Trayvon
Breitbart ^ | 11 Jul 2013 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 07/11/2013 1:23:20 PM PDT by Hotlanta Mike

“This defendant decided that the victim was up to no good,” said prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda. The prosecutor said, “In the defendant’s mind, this was a criminal, and he was tired of criminals out there. That’s not a bad thing…but he went over the line.” de la Rionda claimed that Zimmerman wanted to make sure that Trayvon Martin didn’t get out of the neighborhood. “This defendant was sick and tired of it, and so he decided he was going to be what he wanted to be: a police officer,” said the prosecutor. “He assumed Trayvon Martin was a criminal. That’s why we’re here.”

QED, well said.
It’s something like the scene in the movie ‘Goodfellas’ where the restaurant owner gives Joe Pesci’s character his overdue tab, and gets a wine bottle broken over his head for disrespecting him in front of his buddies.
Anything anyone does that a gangsta doesn’t like is dissing him:
“Why won’t you give me your wallet/wife/life? Why you dissin’ me?”
George simply decided he wasn’t going to let this thug beat him to death so he could burnished his street cred. One less punk to make Jesse Jackson nervous ...

There were around ten robberies in the complex. Witnesses said they were African-Americans. So maybe Zimmerman should have kept an eye out for the Quakers?

By the by, how many robberies has the complex suffered since old Traydmark bit the big one? I've got my money on zero.

Vinny Gambini (referring to the prosecution's opening statement): "Uh... Everything that guy just said is bull$h!t. Thank you."

Appropriate here.

Two things are intended to be gleaned from this trial
1) If you see a Black person engaging in suspicious activity mind your own business or you are racist and a profiler
2) If you do something to annoy him and he beats you as a result, take the beating and count your losses. Don’t defend yourself or you will be sorry. I only wish someone could be Bernie like George was beaten so he could see how minor it was.

One more:

3) Do not carry or use a gun. Ever. Even to defend your life.

The prosecutor profiled Zimmerman.

He didn’t mention any race until he was asked.

Re: Lesson's learned

1) ALWAYS BE ARMED, esp around "Holder's People"
2) Always aim center of mass or head. Dead men don't speak.
3) Carry a revolver and become proficient. This negates the "he was carrying an automatic firearm at full capacity" Bullshit. Either that, or carry EXACTLY the same firearm and ammo as per your local PD policy. (Mine is LRPD=Glock 22 with Remington Golden Saber .155 gr)
4) NEVER EVER make any statement to the police. All you should say is this:

"Officer, I was violently attacked by this criminal. I don't know this person that just tried to kill me. I am injured (cant breathe, chest hurts, bleeding etc) and demand immediate medical attention. I will fully cooperate with your investigation officer, but only after my injuries are treated and I have my attorney present, especially after what I just say with the Zimmerman trial. Again officer, I was in fear for my life, and I need medical attention. The next time we speak will be with my attorney present".

5) Consider moving away from Obama voters. Seriously.
Only give quick pertinent details to 911. In fact, the less you say, the better. "I'm calling to report a suspicious person at (location). CLICK".

Zimmerman is the one who was profiled. They thought they had their angry gun toting racist white guy.

I feel Geo made a major mistake and should have went ot the ER and prob had a CT Scan. I know he was doing the Guy thing by not doing that.
I do have a question about that with the time he has had for healing will a CT Scan still show any fracture!

I haven’t heard anyone else describe it this way, but that’s part of what is going on here.

Not only that, but IMHO, some people perceive that it's far worse to shoot someone who is enforcing the law of the street (by pummeling a person who dissed him) than would be shooting some random guy simply for being black.
