Trayvon Martin's Killer Still Free Tl;Dr: In certain American states, such as Florida, gun "rights" laws make it simple for District Attorney to choose not to file charges. Side notes, my thoughts: It's fascinating to hear the bizarre responses to this on American forums, as well as a bit disheartening, to many in the American South this is very justifiable. I have no interest in owning a hand gun for self-defense purposes living in Canada. Although I would never live in America, hypothetically, if I did, I wouldn't leave the house unless I was armed to the teeth to protect myself from overzealous fellow citizens. 911 tapes: GRAPHIC: Trayvon Martin 911 calls released | News - Home Quote:

This whole situation is bullshit, but that seems to be what's expected for news coming out of Florida. There's a reason why this GIF sees a lot of usage: http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/a...gaf/kckrc0.gif |
What's scary is that there's people up here that think the same way as those redneck hicks down there. |
Ya, that's bullshit. There's a video of a civillian dressed cop pulling a gun on a biker after he pulled a wheelie on the highway, lemme find it. Gotta watch the whole video for context. |
^ I was expecting something a lot worse based on the title. Sure the officer over-reacted, but I don't find it that over-the-top. Quote:

Saying you'd like to punk someone who vandalized your property is a bit different then having a gun and a history of being a racist prick. The saddest part is this exact situation, unarmed young black male gunned down by an officer happens all the time Posted via RS Mobile |

Wow at the youtube description: 3/5/2010: Pulled over for speeding 4/7/2010: 6 Cops show up at my house with a search and seizure warrant for all of my computers, cameras and electronics.. They also bring an arrest warrant for "wiretapping" and 2 additional traffic violations. I could not go to jail due to health issues (surgery). 4/14/2010: I turned myself in and spent the night in jail. I was charged with "wiretapping." Felony- 5years $10k max fine. Bail set at $15k? 4/15/2010: Bail review - Released on my own recognizance. ^bullshit warrants Thank goodness the judge has some sense and threw out the criminal offense charge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Graber Only traffic violation remained. Sorry to get off topic. |
"CNN Senior Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin said it’s extremely significant because the federal government is not able to prosecute your every day, typical murder. “People fighting on the street is not a federal crime,” Toobin said. “However, if one person shoots another based on racial hostility, racial animus, that does become a federal crime and if, very shortly before the murder, Zimmerman used this racial epithet to refer to the person he ultimately shot, that very much puts it within the FBI and the Justice Department’s ambit of a case that they could prosecute.”" Anderson Cooper: Did George Zimmerman use a racial slur?

Someone should kill Zimmerman in the exact scenario as he killed the black teen Call 911, and repeat the paragraph before shooting "There's a real suspicious guy. ... This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something. It's raining, and he's just walking around, looking about. ... Now he's coming towards me. He's got his hand in his waistband. ... Something's wrong with him. He's coming to check me out. He's got something in his hands. I don't know what he's doing. ... These assholes, they always get away." :rukidding: |
"looks like he's up to no good" he quoted the theme song to the fresh prince of bel-air? that's his excuse???....:seriously: |
Skittles. Fucking dangerous. |

Zimmerman is guilty of first-degree murder IMO. The whole race thing can be a grey issue as it always is. But Zimmerman wanted to kill a black man that entered his neighbourhood, Trayvon eating skittles was the target that day. Atleast in the USA, his trial should start soon and he'll go to jail soon. None of the delays that you see in Canada. If he gets off scot free. Well then... See Presto's gif. |
There is a place where it can all be argued,by people, in front of peers that can make a decision on what has happened. A courtroom. A kid is dead, and a man had a gun to do it. There is no immediate proof of self-defense for law enforcement to say, "not worth the charge". When you arm yourself, I think you take responsibility that if you use it, there will be consequences. Either, you were clearly in harm's way, and that is evident to all, or you get a case like this. He made that decision when he decided to carry. He made that decision AGAIN when he decided to use it. If you don't want to ever be put in a situation where you feel justified in a gun's use, but the law does not-then don't carry. Is there a racial aspect to this case? I believe so. BUT, my primary concern is that above, and it doesn't matter what color everyone is. |
you can hear him scream for help :heckno: that would be scaryy |

Hey! I got failed by MindBomber again! What a surprise! If there is any member of RS that consistently abuses the fail button. It is this guy. He seems like the person that cannot accept another persons opinion. I can see him being the type of old man that yells at you if you don't rake your leaves, or calls the city to complain if you park infront of his house. Seems like a control freak too (see quote). I don't know MindBomber except for his posts on RS, but i'm willing to bet he wishes he was an RS mod, has applied to be a mod, or is a mod on some other forum. Kind of like those heros in a strata council. The same elitest attitude that killer George Zimmerman may have had. But now that's reaching too far. Just a guess. :hay: Quote:
He's probably working right now, But i'm sure he'll be back to give his two cents. He always does. |

Second Degree Murder is a murder that is not premeditated or planned in advance. I would think this is more of a second degree as there may not have been much planning involved, unless hypothetically speaking, Zimmerman has seen Trayvon walk past before and got so angered that Trayvon did something such as spitting on the grass of the complex that he decided that next time he saw him he would call the police and pretend that he felt threatened as an excuse to shoot Trayvon. |
