Not that I'm a fan, but while shopping at the Springfield Wal-Mart today, I walked down the junk food isle to see if they were out yet. Didn't see any Hostess snacks at all.

Our subdivision has a neighborhood watch program. Haven't seen any thugs roaming around, so he'd probably get bored. Seriously though, I'd let him stay in my spare bedroom. I'm not scared.

Unless I misunderstood during his news conference last night, O'mara mentioned that the State will be responsible for a good portion of Zimmerman's legal expenses. I'll have to look into that a bit more.

You're right, he isn't. If he were I'd have no problem explaining to him where he went wrong and would love for him to fill in the knowledge gaps that were not cleared up in the trial. But he isn't here. I am here though and so are you. You just made an accusation on how I raise my kids simply because I believe Zimmerman went looking for trouble. That is a personal attack from you to me for no other reason than having a different opinion to you. It is so incredibly transparent to anyone reading your statement. I can tell you that you are wrong on how I raise my children and I am disgusted that you would stoop to such a low. Absolutely disgusted. It wasn't a personal attack at all. I was attempting to prove just how ridiculous one's opinion can sometimes be. I guess it worked. I'm sure you're a fine parent.

There may be outliers, but I gathered the impression that most folks here who don't consider Z a saint of self-defense who can do no wrong, believe there were two dumbasses out in the rain that night. Now me, I'm a coward and I figger the odds of trouble coming my way are high enough that I don't need to go looking for it. :) Right. Would I have gotten out of my vehicle to see which direction Trayvon was headed? Probably not. With that being said, there was nothing against the law about his decision to do so. And there certainly is no evidence to indicate that Zimmerman had any intention of harming Trayvon. My issue is not that some think he was stupid for getting out of his vehicle. My issue is with those who think he deserved to spend even a single day of his life in prison for getting out of his vehicle that night.

So to say that Zimmerman acted irresponsibly automatically qualifies me as teaching my son to confront and assault someone? Why take this so personal to hurl unfounded accusations on how I raise my kids? Hey, we're all assuming around here. If someone has a difficult time basing their opinions on the law, common sense and logic, I can't help but question their ability to raise children and own guns. My opinion is no more or less personal than your opinion is of Zimmerman. He just happens to not be here to read what some of you are assuming about him.

No, my son would not have run. And when Zimmerman confronted him I think it would have ended with Zimmerman putting his candy azz back in the truck and waiting on the cops. Yeah, that's probably the same mindset that Trayvon had that night. We see how well that worked out for him.

What evidence led you to that conclusion? Since we are throwing out assumptions, if they feel Trayvon had no duty to retreat, it's safe to assume this is the same advice they'd give their own children. Yes, it is as ridiculous as it sounds.

Obviously we have some members who teach their children that it's acceptable to physically assault someone for doing something they don't like. And to think these people own guns.

Yes he got out of vehicle but who knows who actually assaulted who? Were you there? No. Neither was any other member of this forum. All we know is one person was obviously beaten and bloody, while the other person was uninjured until he was shot. As had been mentioned countless times by the State's own witnesses, Zimmerman's account of what happened that night is consistent with the evidence. There is ZERO evidence to suggest Zimmerman physically assaulted Trayvon first. ZERO! Creating a fairytale in your mind is hardly evidence.

That would involve me jumping out of my vehicle and coming after you simply because I don’t know you. That’s not happening with me; it’s reckless. So, in your opinion, it's now acceptable to physically assault someone for lawfully getting out of their vehicle to make sure everything is kosher in their neighborhood?

It's interesting how some of you continually insist that Trayvon Martin was completely innocent. Are any of you willing to let me blast you in the nose and beat your head into the ground? It doesn't even need to be a sidewalk, grass will work just fine.

That's part of the problem; stupid parents giving birth to stupid children. Sadly, too many children won't learn from Trayvon's mistakes.

Did anyone else watch the O'mara / Don West interview after the verdict? When West began to talk, you could hear O'mara saying "easy, easy......easy, easy".  :rofl:

Yeah, that's pretty much what O'mara said after the verdict. Plus, the State has to pay a large chunk of Zimmerman's legal fees.

There is none.

That's what I'm talking about!

Here we go...

I just received word from inside source that the jury just notified of a verdict. Guilty.

He'll be found guilty. I'll bet a brick of .22 on it.

This isn't a good sign.   Jury weighing Zimmerman's fate asks question about manslaughter option   http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/13/justice/zimmerman-trial/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

If you watched the trial, the actual details surrounding both events were kinda BS. He has since been able to obtain his carry permit and firearm, so I don't think either was as bad as many would like us to believe.

The IT guy who notified the defense team that the State lied about Trayvon's cell phone records was just fired.   http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/13/justice/zimmerman-it-firing/index.html?hpt=hp_t1
