Not Guilty -- Beyond Reasonable Doubt

Comments over at the DU indicate that approximately half this counrty are completely convinced that GZ is guilty despite the evidence... If justice is served, things are going to get real ugly.

Here’s where I disagree with Pat Buchanan. If St. Martin was, indeed, the aspiring gangsta which all the evidence seems to suggest, curtailing such a career is not necessarily a tragedy.

Innocent lives may have been saved.”””’

AMEN

A revolver doesn’t leave brass at the scene.

[Windcatcher]

It’s a lot less likely to jam, too, which is why it’s my carry pistol of choice.

[Sopater]

To bad he was shot but it was his fault I would have done the same as GZ if I had a druggie on me..

I would have done the same thing if I had the church lady beating on me and I couldn't stop her and was in fear for my life.

[EQAndyBuzz]

I am of the opinion the reason this is happening is because we let it.

Next time the race baiters come out of the woodwork, call them on it to a point of embarrassment. Anyone backing them, go after them also.

I learned a long time ago that if someone is going hate you regardless of your position, if you go on the attack you have nothing to lose.

[Gandalf_The_Gray]

Zimmerman was right. Martin was wrong, and started the attack in which he died.

Finally, someone who understands the truth of it! Your clarity is to be welcomed.

What you said made me laugh. I know I would do the same as you even if it was a church lady..

[Sopater]

... with the expecation that I was fully justified in my actions, no less. :-)

[Gandalf_The_Gray]

It’s time to change the system and have some type of professional juries.

Bad, very bad idea! Even worse than the current "jury of his peers". "Professional jurists" would further advance the corruption of our current judicial system.

Why not put the burden of proof on the defense and make it "guilty until you prove yourself innocent"?

The road to hell is paved with good intentions!

[PLD]

Of course..

[absalom01]

While GZ is so clearly not guilty of any crime he shouldn’t have even been prosecuted, I think he’s still toast.

Very least is the jury comes back with manslaughter. No way does he walk.

[patriotsblood]

Very simple. If you do have to shoot, and wish to walk away and not get railroaded like GZ is getting railroaded by the professional race baiters, you don’t have to waste time looking for brass in the grass.

[GladesGuru]

Walking away is a bad idea in an age of security cams in every quadrant.

Just my opinion. YMMV.

Appreciate your feedback. Just thought I’d run it up the pole and see if anyone salutes it.
