Are We Just Going to Lynch Mr. Zimmerman?

You can't articulate your questions; what else am I to do in response?

 

Wow, "Not the Guardian" is still stalking me? Even on ignore...

 

I figure the media will ignore the eyewitness, keep saying Zimmerman was told to stop stalking the child, keep saying the one screaming for help was the boy, and Zimmerman shot him while he had the upper hand. All the pressure should shut up the eyewitness and then the lynching will be easy.

The liberal rules have changed (page-2):

I just got questioned by the guy who responded right after that, which was in his own topic, as to being able to "handle the eyewitness to Martin's violent attack" (page 22), which is kind of ironic:

So I figure a lot of people have itchy lynch trigger fingers.

 

There is an incredible amount of ignorance about this case in this thread. No surprise since the news media has been the primary instigator of the misinformation. I was cringing all last week while watching Morning Joe. As is typical on these talking head shows, they all sit around and and feed off each other's speculation until they are reporting their own speculation as fact. That's why I wrote this: There’s a Lynch Mob Down South…

But there is a legitimate source of facts, the Sanford Police Department, which put out a web page to hopefully educate the clueless media that's been covering and pontificating on this story: Trayvon Martin Investigation

There is a FAQ there that answers the very basic questions, for example...


Why was George Zimmerman not arrested the night of the shooting?


When the Sanford Police Department arrived at the scene of the incident, Mr. Zimmerman provided a statement claiming he acted in self defense which at the time was supported by physical evidence and testimony. By Florida Statute, law enforcement was PROHIBITED from making an arrest based on the facts and circumstances they had at the time. Additionally, when any police officer makes an arrest for any reason, the officer MUST swear and affirm that he/she is making the arrest in good faith and with probable cause. If the arrest is done maliciously and in bad faith, the officer and the City may be held liable.


So some of you might want to check this out before displaying your proud ignorance over and over.

 

Dave1mo, you are puking out gibberish.

If, according to YOU: "He has yet to prove, in a court of law, that he acted in self-defense " ..........THEN HOW THE F (F for Fig) can you conclude, in the very next sentence that: "Until then, it's safe to say that Zimmerman is a murderer" ?????

The upcoming TRIAL will show if Zimmerman acted in self-defense .......UNTIL THEN, according to U.S.Law: ZIMMERMAN IS INNOOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY !!!

What you are exhibiting is LIEberrhoidal Logic !!!

Now, if you said that: "Until Zimmerman proves in a Trial that he acted in self-defense. IN YOUR OPINION he's guilty" .......that's another story. I might even go along with that statement.

 

He shot the guy......That is clear. If it was not self defense, it was murder......That is how it works......And even if he did act in self defense, the "Stand your ground" law, only allows for "reasonable" defense.....If the kid punched him, shooting him is not a reasonable defense. So, He would still be guilty of manslaughter, even if it's not murder.

 

You and Will have it dead wrong.

It was a prosecutor falsifying and withholding evidence that led to the dismissal of the Duke Lacrosse team.

The press reported the allegations made by the woman and the prosecutor but it was the press that investigated the woman and the allegations and reported the falsified evidence and those reports finally made NC's governor and Attorney General take action.

If you want to place blame for over-reacting put it squarely where it belongs. On the woman, the prosecutor who went to prison, and DUKE's regents.

 

From what I understand, the police did very little, if any, investigating.

The fact that they let him go home that night WITH his gun screams volumes about sloppy police work.... the gun should have been taken from him and the tests made in determining the distance b/t the victim & shooter when Martin was shot..... I tho't that was standard procedure in a shooting - not just taking the shooters word for it........

No one knows exactly what happened except Zimmerman and he's not talking...

And NO. He shouldn't be lynched - he should be given a fair trial, like anyone else......

 

Your posts indicate a mental challenge of some sort.

My posts didn't assert that Martin attacked Zimmerman. My posts clearly posed a hypothetical. Yours didn't.

Let's have you start being more than a post vandal, please.

 

Again for those not paying attention, Stand your Ground does not apply but what does apply is self defense, which has been around for ages. A witness says he was being beaten, another witness says it was Zimmerman calling for help but no one came. He has a right to defend himself from violent attack.

 

This goes for you too. My post clearly haven't concluded that the witness is credible. I only went so far as to say that IF the witness is credible, their story better explains the actions of the police on that day.

You need to start being more than a post vandal as well.

Liberals: need brain power. Please give generously to these poor afflicted people.

 

Are you.

I was playing golf during the time you had your finger plunged in your anus.

 

He is cooperating with the police but in hiding because of all the death threats.

 

Subdermal is thrashing around, knowing he's lost.

 

There were no eye witnesses....the only direct witness is the 9/11 dispatcher who heard what happened over the phone. Others came out when they heard the gunshot. No one actually saw him get attacked to back up his claim of self defense.

 

And the friend who was speaking to Martin as Zimmerman stalked him.

 

does anyone know if at the very least the police got a signed written statement from zimmerman

 

I had not heard that Martin was on the phone as well.

 

Please Dave: let's have you back your assertions. Where have I passed judgement on the guilt or innocence of any party in this incident?

It's a shame that you have been given the opportunity to teach America's youth. You obviously need to have reading comprehension lessons; I suggest you return to the 5th grade, as you clearly left off at about that point.

This is a direct challenge, liberal. Post evidence that I have passed judgement on the guilt or innocence of any party involved.

Thanks for your cowardly inability to back your accusation that I lost anything in this or any other thread, Dave.

You couldn't win a debate with me on your best day.

 

I'm not sure, but proper protocol would be to take him in for questioning to determine what happened. The officers who let him go did not do their jobs.

 

Possibly - or, the police simply saw the circumstance as very cut-and-dried.

We simply do not know as yet.

Are we sure that 'taking in for questioning' is the protocol in every single last circumstance? That on scene questioning and judgement cannot suffice in certain circumstances?

I'm not sure. I do know that we STILL do not have enough information.

 

You lost it right here, when you choose to take a witness statement provided a month after the incident as support for the police inaction because it supports your belief that Zimmerman acted appropriately.

In other words...you lost.

 

Read it again, Dave. I have done nothing of the sort. My challenge is directed at the poster who took the statement, and flatly called it a lie and a concoction.

But you're not interested in actually being accurate; you're not interested in reading words on the page and properly acknowledging their meaning; you're not interested in truth.

You're interested in spin.

Where in that statement did I do anything near what you claim?

You are truly an excellent example of a liberal teacher.

 

I'm a literate individual, which is more than you can say for yourself.

 

Good question ....... who knows?

And ... from what I heard on Fox (you know, that horribly conservative Faux Noise) they said the body was taken to the morgue and left laying there for 3 days - no one tried to locate his parents. Martin's cell phone was in his pocket w/his mother & dad's phone #'s........
