When he was told, “you don’t need to do that”, he should have backed off entirely. That said, this has assumed absurd proportions. It also has clearly shown the administration and black community for what they are. This is pure politics now.

no because you have an intervening supervening criminal act.

I look to have more immunity clauses put in place on the stand your ground.

Also prosecutors HATE stand your ground laws because the like discouraging people from defending themselves. When criminals die, prosecutors lose jobs.

Ask why appoint from jacksonville? why not pensacola? or Daytona, or naples? it was a political choice for a “team player” to ensure the human sacrifice goes well.

For all we know, Zimmerman said something totally stupid to the authorities while trying to be “helpful”. That could be all they need to file charges. He hasn’t exactly been exhibiting the behavior of somebody cagily playing the legal game.

If that is the case, it should be enough to let the peasants know where they stand when it comes to the power structure of the Banana Republic of the United States.

First they came for Zimmerman, but I did not speak up because it wasn't me...

“I think you are confusing the law with facts and justice.”

Huh??

I’m just amazed that folks here can make up facts as they go along. As far as Zimmerman getting arrested, I really couldn’t give a crap one way or another.

Come to think of it, you’re part right. I do believe the law should be about Justice. Silly me.

Unless they have something that hasn’t hit the media, then it seems like a Hail Mary charge.

I’m guessing that they have something that they haven’t revealed yet. I think Zimmerman said something between his first interview with the police and today that put him in legal jeopardy.

Time will tell.

This is a “I’m charging him to get these race baiters off my back” once he’s acquitted Corey can say “Hey at least I tried” these race baiters didnt give a damn about this incident for a MONTH, then all of a sudden they gave a damn..its all political, to help Obama..its sickening

Wow, I'd hate for you to be a judge of anything, including raising children.

Facts are hard things to ignore. You don't know what the prosecutor has, neither do I.

Parroting PMSNBC? Sorry, been there, done that. Know the process, seen it at work. Don't like what I say, don't respond. That way we don't see how ignorant you are.

Enjoy life in your cave, maybe you'll evolve enough to think, instead of react.

Latinos aren’t going to take this laying down, they are messing with the wrong ethnic minority.

You're wrong. Latino "leaders" have already thrown Zimmerman under the bus. They will be in full solidarity with the Black "leaders" on this. Just as Black "leaders" have been silent on the ethnic cleansing of Black neighborhoods by Hispanic gangsters.

As I always say on these threads, the heels never feud among themselves.

While I don't believe in the "rapture," I can see why so many white Protestants do. When everyone hates you you just wish you could go away and make it all stop. Besides . . . then the comrades would start fighting amongst themselves, and seeing that would be really fun!

I seriously doubt you’ve been right about anything in your entire life. I’m sure you got this correct, which is not the same as right, because you think along the same lines as these idiots.

I hope smarter people than you actually sit on the jury.

While not technically “Double Jeopardy”, this certainly reeks of it.
DA already made a decision, now reversing under political pressure from socialist and race-baiters.
Siege Hiel under the new KKK order!

Last night our local CBS affiliate was still using the pic of Trayvon as a kid for their coverage.
This morning I called, they claimed that it was the ONLY pic available.
I sent them some newer pics, but do not expect to see them used tonight.

Um, you don’t REALLY expect a fair trial in this coming Show Trial?

The outcome is predetermined.
Mr. Zimmerman is about to be sacrificed on the altar of political correctness resurgence.
This is a toward justifying the next claim of discrimination by anyone who fails to vote for the Oboma-fuer.

This arrest truly dispirits me. Like I said, it’s all been about money. Justice has nothing to with this. I’m wondering if justice matters to anybody in public office anymore.

1. Armed v. unarmed 6'-4" vs 5'-9".
2. Police told him not to follow but he did. Lie, 911 suggested he not do so.
3. Scream was probably Treyvon. Martin's father said otherwise.
4. Pursuing obviates application of “stand your ground”. He can not avail himself of its protection. No indication Zimmerman "pursued" Martin.
5. Zimmerman seen straddling Treyvon’s body. Need a cite as this is never happened.
6. No evident significant injury to Zimmerman despite claim he was so injured. Yes there was per the photos.
7. Girlfriend’s testimony that Treyvon felt he was being followed. Treyvon turning on Martin, esp under FL law, is fine if he felt threatened. Yeah, I trust what this chick said days or weeks later. Especially seeing how "nolimitni@@er tweeted about women.

NO substitute for Prosecutorial investigation.

I pray not because your info is a month old and all of it is wrong.

As soon as Zimmerman left his truck, he became the aggressor, regardless of his retreat.

I left my truck to go into the grocery store so that makes me an aggressor and everyone at the store had the right to beat the crap out of me?

Damn, I'm glad I conceal carry too.

Even that’s not foolproof. The two white British tourists were killed by a black even after they showed him that they had no money. He had every intention of killing them, telling some people near him before he walked over to the the tourists, “Watch these crackers” and laughing. They pleaded for their lives and he killed them like a low IQ, agression-ridden, no-impulse-control-having savage.
