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.

I know exactly what you were referring to. Following right along with your logic, based on my post you were referring to, the real reason Zimmerman was following Martin was because Zimmerman was going to sexually molest Martin. 

Sadly, as much as I sometimes wish it weren't true, we can't lawfully physically assault someone simply because they set us off. This is especially true when the person who is doing the "setting off" isn't in violation of the law. 

That's the way our system works. In the event there's a lack of evidence, we don't get to simply fabricate evidence to suit our desired outcome.    And your statement is exactly why this case should have never been brought to a jury. No evidence.

If I profile some of you as being as dumb as the day is long, does that make me a racist?

Martin didn't deserve to be shot because of his past. He deserved to be shot because he physically assaulted Zimmerman. There is actual evidence (even if you don't like the source) that Martin physically assaulted Zimmerman. There is ZERO actual evidence that Martin didn't physically assault Zimmerman.

What does being black have anything to do with it?

You're right. None of us know exactly what happened that night. All we have to go on is the evidence presented to us, whether we like where that may lead or not. Or we could start pulling shit out of our ass.

I may have smoked pot several years ago. I may have even tried shrooms and acid a time or two in my younger days. If I just so happen to be on a flight from Nashville to Miami and 10 kilos of cocaine are discovered, does that make me a drug smuggler? Even if the the police can't prove who it belongs to? Everyone else on the plane has a squeaky clean background, so I must be guilty.

I don't blame the pro-Martin crowd for not bring facts to the table...because there are none.    Even if Zimmerman were the Grand Imperial Wizard of the KKK and a convicted child molester, his shady background would hardly mean he is guilty of murdering Martin. These are the type of "facts" the pro-Martin crowd is bringing to the table.

Opinions mean nothing. Facts mean everything.    I'm seeing a whole lot of thoughts and feelings from the pro-Martin side, but little in the way of facts. Unless something has changed, we, here in the United States of America, do not determine one's guilt or innocence based on thoughts and feeling. 

Any trigger group for an AR-15 will work in your lower. The chance of accidentally ordering a Class III trigger group is pretty well zero.

I'm amazed at all the child molesters who've posted in these Martin/Zimmerman threads. Don't ask me for proof, because a feeling is all that's needed to throw such accusations around. If I think it, it must be true.
