It is foul. It is also stupid teen chatter that a good parent would not approve of. Does that justify Zimmerman stalking him. I think not. I don't think that Zimmerman is a racist, but I do think that he is a fool with a gun. I don't believe that good parents would approve of that either.

The element that will never change are the young gangster types that obviously scare the hell out of everyone and give all people of color a bad name.

I'm just a armchair qb. My opinions means nothing to no one but me. Even the people who are wrong will have forced this situation to be examined openly instead of swept under the rug like it appears the SPD attempted to do.

I am confused. Some assume that the dead kid was up to something (guilty) while giving the benefit of doubt to the shooter just because he is still alive? I guess no one ever lied to stay out of jail.

I agree. Saying that I don't think that you should rob that bank is also a suggestion, but when I tell the jury that I made that suggestion to you...wait and see how things turn out.

I agree, but the whore must be willing to get pimped. They have no following. They show up when people gather because the people believe that they have no voice and then Jackson and Sharpton take credit for organizing.

Jackson and Sharpton are not spokesmen for blacks. They were given that title by the media. There is no such thing s a black leader unless you count all of the U.S. Presidents. Millions of hard working black people go ignored everyday while living productive lives. They are overshadowed by a element that will never change, but they carry the burden of that stereotype for a lifetime.

I agree.

Why does it have to be a black or white thing? Take away the colors of the people involved and just look at what we have been told. Until the case is heard in court I will keep believing that this situation could have been avoided if "the captain" had called the cops, followed the dispatchers advice and kept a reasonable distance while still observing Martin until the cops arrived. In my Golmer Pyle voice...citizens arrest, citizens arrest! You see people like this all of he time. Give them the perception of having just a little authority and they will go over board every time.

That's the dirty little secret that you are not supposed to talk about.

And you know this from being a black person during segregation?

Sort of sounds like the two partys always competing for the white house, but people keep buying it.

Obama is not a good leader, but I think that it would be counter productive for a thieving polititian to destroy the country. He has years of speaking and lobbying fees to look forward to. He can't make that money if he destroys the country.

This is like the front porch of the general store.

In our society sueing is the natural progression of things.

Sharpton and Jackson have no power. They find out where there will be cameras. They show up and take credit for organizing. They get their power/money from the media not the people. That's why MSNBC gave Sharpton a job and you never hear from Jackson until someone makes up a crisis. They have no support.

I had the same thing happen to me. Neither side wanted me because I was a gun owner with a prior law enforcement/corrections background. I guess that it did not matter that it was twenty years ago. I really wanted to be on that jury to hear the facts because the suspect seemed like a real bad boy. Seems like the judge dismissed everyone who stated that they owned guns.

None of it passes the smell test and we are all chosing sides based on our own emotions and experiences.

That was the family attorneys reason for notifying the media. According to the family had the cops notified them in a timely manner and given the appearance that they were going to investigate Zimmerman they would not have called the news and we would all be doing our normal Obama bashing.

The cops had his phone. The parents were calling the phone. I am almost certain that any service provider would have cooperated with law enforcement in a murder investigation to unlock the phone and notify family members.

According to the "doctored" 911 tapes Zimmerman placed himself in the kids space. Had Zimmerman stayed in the Fifemobile this may not had happened.

That's the best reason to make sounds decisions when carrying. I wake up in cold sweats thinking about getting real "justice" in our system. I have always been prepared to take a azz whipping before killing someone. I'm in my mid fortys now, but as I age there will be a time when I won't take that beating before I shoot. After Zimmerman initiated the confrontation. He should have taken his butt kicking from that 120lb boy and gone back on "patrol".

People are pissed because the boy was in the morgue for three days without his parents being notified and the appearance that Zimmerman and local law enforcement are friends. C'mon we are Tennesseeans and you all know how friendly our community is with law enforcement. Most people that carry are law enforcement, shoot with law enforcement or know someone who is and you build a relationship over time. So, in a small place like that town Zimmerman could have told his buddies anything that he wanted. I have no problem with being wrong about this. I am simply being a armchair qb just like everyone else stating their opinion.

I will sit tight this time around. My primary shooting will be with my .22 based weapons until things cool down.
