Dr. Laurence Miller, a Palm Beach County clinical psychologist who works with local police agencies, said he believes Zimmerman likely was acting out the “whole TV cop role in his head” when he confronted Trayvon.

So now we have a Vulcan Mind Meld thing going on.

Bilge.

"The use of deadly force to repel a non-deadly attack violates the due process clause of the constitution. Time for all strong statesmen to stand up and say so fearlessly and without intent to score political points."

Black guy has brown guy on the ground, is sitting on top of him, and beating him in the face. Brown guy suffers broken nose, severe lacerations (needing stitches) to the back of his head among other injuries. Sounds like a "deadly attack" to me. And NOT by the brown guy. Eyewitness testimony and physical evidence both support the brown guy.

Jacknhoo, get a life. No reason for that outburst, and jwalsh07’s post wasn’t even directed at you....it was directed at the news media.

“However the dispatcher still speaks with the Voice of Authority.

Most people, when told by a 911 dispatcher not to do something, won’t do it.

What’s so hard to understand?”

LOL. Not all of us are sheep. Some of us with Mensa level IQs too often know we’re dealing with mental midgets. When I was about 5, my sister and the almost 12 year old son of my dad’s friend were out in a motor boat on a small lake where they had a cottage. A ranger got irate and said they had to come back immediately. My father and the other farther said they weren’t doing anything wrong. The ranger got irate. They asked him to state the statute. The ranger said they had to be in hailing distance. It was pointed out that they were both in seeing and hearing distance. They made him look a complete fool. The ranger was totally out of his league. It was a good life lesson.

I’m not sure of anything....especially with all of the agendas behind the various stories out there.

I read what you posted.

Not a very cohesive article.

I can’t tell if it is b/c of poor writing or b/c of your excerpting. And I have no desire to find out which it is.

Not compelling.

see post 280... then tell me that you would want this guy patrolling your neighborhood with a gun. A loose cannon to say the least.

why didn't these "witnesses" go give cpr?.....honestly, they're coming out at this time, a month later?...

the only reliable statements are statements immediately after the incident....on the record...no prepping or fixing it to fit your attitude...

where was the victim shot?...face, chest? ...at what angle?....

why is basic info not available.....and doesn't anybody have accurate height and weigth ofn these two...

“The charge was later dropped when Zimmerman entered a “pre-trial diversion” program, which is not unusual for first-time offenders. The program usually entails paying fines and taking classes for anger management.”

He had classes for anger management. A neighbor described him as polite. We don’t know if he was overzealous at the time. People actually have been known to change. I’m no longer a juvenile delinquent. I managed to learn to change my ways without getting into trouble with the police, go to college and have a career. Zimmerman went to community college and had a job. It’s quite possible that when he went to anger management classes he got a clue that if he continued with that kind of behavior he’d end up in jail. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, rather than make a characterization, and consider known facts related to the current issue.

Must have been a juicy post to have been deleted so quickly. So jacknhoo, what exactly did you find offensive in my post to you besides the typos of course?

And exactly when do you know the PERSON THREATING YOUR LIFE has been subdued?

My best answer is when he is no longer living.
