I've done read about 5 different versions ofthat call. The word "Punk" is most consistent, so punk it is! Dave S No worries. Zimmerman probably had a mouth full of taco when he made the call, so it wouldn't be difficult to misunderstand the difference between punk and coon.

I guess I found the right one now. Zman says "F****** Coon" and not punk. Damn...just Damn!!! Dave S I'm pretty sure the "coon" myth was debunked as soon as the first race-baiter brought it up. If he had said that, the prosecution would have been all over that right out of the gate.

It looks like they have decided against enforcing the law. Also, based on the explanation I read, this law has nothing to do with regular mixed drinks that are mixed on demand. This law only prevents bars and restaurants from making their own recipes that may sit on the shelf for days or weeks.

Based on your overview, the dispatcher's testimony shed some light into Zimmerman's state of mind during the incident. If, as a trained professional, he didn't get the impression that Zimmerman was overly angry, who am I to argue? I am guilty of using what many would probably consider too much foul language. The "F" word is one of my favorites. While I use it for many different occasions, you can (or should be able to) clearly tell my state of mind. If I am as angry as many would like us to believe Zimmerman was, the "F" word is most likely going to be preceded and/or followed by a few more four letter words. In fairness, my girlfriend of 8 years continues to sometimes have a difficult time noticing the difference. Thanks again for the updates.

When will you cover the witness testimony?

Interesting.

I see what you're saying there. So, if I understand correctly, in the court's eyes, it's okay for him to lie, as long as he doesn't take the stand in his own defense?

I think I've said before that my opinion and the court of law are two separate things. I don't know why we can't get past that. Because some of us are trying to focus on the evidence while discussing this COURT case. Others insist on discussing their feelings and what they would or wouldn't have done in the situation. At this point, I am doing my best to put myself in the shoes of the jury. The jury is told to base their decisions on the law and evidence presented to them. That's exactly what I'd like them to do if I were in Zimmerman's position. As long as you continue to push opinion of guilt based on feelings, I'm going to continue to push my opinion based on evidence and the law.

No sir; but neither you nor I are on trial right now. Not a very good example Sir! Dave S But you never know if or when it could happen. If it were to happen, you can bet they'd dig up and publicize every ounce of dirty laundry we have.

They aren't local, but Whittaker's seems to get more of them than anyone else. They will ship, but the competition to get them is fierce.

I beleive very little he says. He's been caught in too many lies now. I know, I know...prove it.... DiaS All of us have lied more than once. Does that make us guilty of murder?

By allowing Snowden to leave the country, China just sent a strongly worded F You in response to the .govs strongly worded messages demanding Snowden's return. I love seeing Jay Carney act like a tough guy.

You were there? I don't need to be there. Zimmerman said he didn't start the fight, and there is no evidence to prove otherwise. I understand some of you don't believe anything he says, but there have been countless real criminals go free because there isn't enough evidence to prove the State's case. This should be one of them. If anyone is patiently waiting for some bombshell to be dropped during the trial, I'm afraid you're wasting your time. For the most part, we already know the meat and taters ofbthe case.

Negative. If you start a fight and end it with your pistol you will go to jail. Self defense goes out the window if you caused the events. There is so much precedent on this I refuse to believe that you don't know that. True, but Zimmerman didn't start a fight, so such a law shouldnhabe no bearing on this case.

Again ROBERT< you throw my name in....ATTACK ATTACK!!!!! GET OFF MY BACK!!!!! Are you serious? When you voice your opinion, you should probably expect a possible debate. If you aren't up for the debate, you can always choose to leave the thread...for the umteenth time. I'm sure there are other forums that are more pro-Martin friendly, and they'll probably stroke your opinion until you're all warm and fuzzy inside. Many of us have found ourselves on the unpopular side of debate, so you're hardly the only one.

Thanks for the update.

That's not surprising. I suspect being forced to defend your life with deadly force could be traumatic for the average person. It could take some time to regain your ability to think clearly.

How can the "white dudette" judge be a racist when she ruled in favor of the "white dude" by not allowing evidence? Dave S Which means she ruled against the black side.

They weren't allowed to testify because their methods were BS. You're not an "expert" if nobody agrees with your conclusions. Wrong! The judge obviously racist.

Fast forward is your friend.

Me too, but I like living more.  :lol:  I have zero real world experience around bears, so I was surprised a bear would go through all that trouble without at least taking a swipe or bite at the hunter. I would have been scared to death.

I had a feeling it was an analogy some of you could relate to.

  That was priceless.  :rofl:

That is amazing. I'm not sure I could have prevent myself from shooting the bear out of fear. That dude has some balls of steel.

The family got answers, but much like you, they didn't want to hear the facts. They were expecting Zimmerman to say that he intentionally racially profiled their son and killed him because he hates blacks.
