"....they must be “retarded” (yes, I used the “r” word)."

Rachel what's-her-name set the precedent!

Don't forget the musical and everything is up for merchandising, including the "creepy ass cracker" t-shirt...

MAn when your just a Sgt you haven’t got time to worry about the uppre echelon! You see it on the sleeve or lapel and you know it and and respect it! I doubt but a few service members have seen this patch on The Command Sgt MGR’s sleeve let alone know the rank! The the average soldier he is a partner of the mission and you just walk by and thats that!
Service people have lives and kids and bills to pay and could care less about Rank! But if in close quaryers of yes it is known! Service members just do the job they have to do.
Commanders ask no more or less than what that job requires.
The Military is not about tyrants asking for accolades for status but a job well done by all! That is the Goal!

I'm unclear why this was directed to me. I'm not getting involved in that pissing match.

If ANYTHING happens in Detroit, there will be a-burning.

Some cities get a warm, fuzzy feeling rioting.

looks like Cosby's wife on his TV show behind the mother and to the left.

Can't remember her first name but I think Rashad (sic?) was her last name.

Not saying it is her, just looks like her. There were celebrated separated at birth photos earlier that was pretty funny, but, like the ME, I saw it yesterday and have no real memory of it.

I'll have to check my notes.

I’m truly curious why you keep stating that GZ ‘followed’ TM into the dark? Do you not realize that he wasn’t following him but rather, he was attempting to get an address for the police? C’mon, at least get the FACTS straight here when you continue to beat your drum that GZ had ‘intent’.
You’re embarassing yourself.

Arghhhhhh...a ZOMBIE with no eyes!

Run away!

Seriously, the guy is annoying. His talents lie elsewhere.

With all due respect...

He shot Martin, got out from underneath Martin, Martin said “You got me” and Z started holding his arms. Martin at that time was saying stuff Z can’t remember, and things like “Ow”.

Then one of the witnesses came with a flashlight, and Z thought it was a cop (he had been waiting for several minutes for the cops to come). So he got up off of Martin. IIRC he then asked the witness to help hold Martin down, but then a real cop came.

That is when Z (who had holstered his gun prior to holding Martin’s arms) put his hands on his head and told the cop where his gun was located. So I imagine Z was focused on the cop’s instructions.

At some point in those few seconds/minutes Martin probably clutched his chest wound and died.

The paramedics/cops? came and started CPR on Martin (probably already dead as no pulse). But the last thing Z saw was probably the guys doing CPR.

I think Martin’s awareness of the serious nature of the situation was when he said “You got me.” Prior to that it was just a beat-down of a “cracker” - worthy of a video post to share on the internet.

Zimmerman’s awareness probably came when the cop told him Martin was dead, with his “killing is wrong” statement. Before that it was just another checking out some suspicious punk. Something that I have done several times in our neighborhood.

"I thought it was tragic am ambulance couldn’t find a person in need and I fixed that."

Excellent idea!

We should do this in my community. Street signs and street numbers are so unavailable its difficult to find where you are and difficult to find what you seek.

Fortunately, the fire station is just a corner around from our street - they know where they can find us. Others, maybe not so much.

I’m thinking the “Creepy Ass-Cracker” moniker belongs more appropriately on the idiots that wear their pants so low their crack shows....AKD Plumbers crack!

I’ve only said that Zimmerman was following the kid because Zimmerman told the dispatcher that he was following him. All of the witnesses have said it was dark at the time.

But when the dispatcher told Zimmerman they didn’t need him to follow —he stopped. He headed to the other side of that sidewalk (Treyvon took a right at the T)...and GZ kept walking passed that point to try to find street name/number. He headed back to his truck, again walking past the T where Treyvon went... and that is when Treyvon confronted him from behind from that T.

My grandparents lived on a dead end street with horse fields and a pond beyond them. Alligators were around, as well as horses. They had a pet monkey with a huge outdoor cage in the yard. All very exotic to a little girl coming to visit at Christmas.
