17 year old kid shot dead by Neighborhood Watch "Captain"

[Bunnykid68]

That's you, me, I'm too old to fight but I'm not too old to kill someone trying to do me harm by whatever means necessary.

Im with you. Do you really want to fight me? Well, if you do I am going to shoot you or bludgeon you to death, still want to fight?

Were they dribbling your head off the concrete like a basketball?

I can't remember if my head was being dribbled like a basketball but I have come away from fights with the back of my head bleeding. I can tell you that boot leather doesn't taste all that good.

Here's the rumor from WTHR's FaceBook page:

Official tells Associated Press: Trayvon Martin's killer to be charged with 2nd-degree murder; is in custody.

I have taken a beating like a man before without grabbing a weapon. It wouldn't be the first time and it probably won't be the last time. If asking them WTF they were doing on private property from 30 feet (had them lit up with a pretty powerful flashlight) is aggressive, I guess I was more aggressive than Zimmerman. I didn't step foot off the porch and wasn't using an overly aggressive tone. As already mentioned, I've taken beatings quite a few times. I wouldn't say that I'd be smiling while taking the beating because I thought I deserved it but I'm not pulling a weapon on someone that is simply throwing fists. If they have more skill than I do, I take a beating like a man. I've done that in 2 on 1 and 3 on 1 situations before. I've also came out in a bit better condition during a 2 on 1 situation. Once again, you throw fists and that is it...I'm not pulling a knife, club, baseball bat, gun, rocket launcher, or anything else. If I win, I win. If I lose, I lose. It isn't a big deal.

I'm sorry, I was taught differently. If you've gotten cornered to the point of a fight, there is no "fairness". If that means I grab a chucnk of wood and beat you with it, so be it. i'm in it to win, period. I will not "take a beating like a man".... that's complete bull****. No one should be cornered into a fight and just "take it like a man". Only a moronic bleeding heart liberal would suggest laying down for your attacker. you corner me and start laying in, I will find a way to end it or die trying.

But then again I don't go looking for trouble and do everyting in my power to avoid it in life.

Here's the rumor from WTHR's FaceBook page:

Just popped up on wrtv 6 and on comcast site too.


Now we get into another chapter of this 'saga'

 

[bobzilla]

I wonder if we;re goingto get any more actual information yet or not?

Im with you. Do you really want to fight me? Well, if you do I am going to shoot you or bludgeon you to death, still want to fight?

If I've given a reason to defend myself with lethal force, I have no problems doing so. If I'm confronting a kid, my first thoughts aren't going to be focused on pulling my gun. I don't fight for no reason so if I truly believe that I NEED to fight, my thoughts aren't on whether you're going to bludgeon me to death or shoot me. If you're following me and confronting me in an aggressive manner while I'm not doing anything illegal, I may protect myself depending on how you're coming at me. If it is a regular old fist fight that ends up with a weapon drawn, been there done that. I've had knives come out and people try to stab me. I've got no scars from it. If you've got no fighting skills or are too old, better have some weapons retention training or keep yourself a fairly safe distance because some people aren't really afraid of taking the fight to the death once they see a weapon come out and it doesn't always end with the "good guy" walking away.

WOW! I can't really comment without appearing racist but I must say he certainly has no qualms about speaking his mind, even with big ole cigar hanging out his mouth. lol

News conf. set for 6pm. to announce charge.


This is from the Florida code as pertaining Second Degree Murder Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes : Online Sunshine
923.03 
(b) As to second degree murder:
Unlawfully by an act imminently dangerous to another, and evincing a depraved mind, regardless of human life; that is to say, by firing her or his shotgun into the store of (or by striking with an adz, as the case may be) but without a premeditated design to effect the death of any particular person, did kill in said county.


I think under there code that there should have been a lesser charge but hey who knows.

 

[Kutnupe14]

It's part of the story. And remember, Eric Holder holds people like this in high regard.

As evidenced by?

 

[Kutnupe14]

They have bearing on what happens now, though. Thus, it's part of the Trayvon-Zimmerman story.

Only to those that pay attention to media whores.

Who Is Special Prosecutor Angela Corey? « CBS Miami

I was curious and did some research. If you're wondering why this special prosecutor is bringing charges in a case that screams for none, when the local prosecutor refused to bring charges based on the available evidence, read the linked article. It's an attention-seeking ego trip. Nothing more.

Taking a beating like a man doesn't mean laying down for your attacker. Taking a beating like a man, to me, means that you're not going to end up shooting/stabbing/throwing a brick at the person you were in a FIST FIGHT with. Do I see things differently if there is a weapon involved? Yep, sure do. If it stays fists, if I win...I win. If I lose, I lose. If that makes me a bleeding heart liberal, fine...I'll accept your ignorant labeling but no where in any of my posts have I mentioned laying down for anyone.

A man I know and respect has warned not to pick a fight with a man too old to fight, because he'll just kill you.

All I can say is "Wow, I forgot what it's like to be young and stupid with that feeling of invincibility" . I guess the older and wiser you get the more you realize you don't need to brag about your prowess as a tough guy, you just know what you are capable of doing and find no need to boast.

I see your point, but I do not intend to get in a fist fight ever again. If you want to fight me I will win the fight by all means necessary, but I do see your point about just a good ole fist fight, I just do not do that anymore.

It hard to argue with him. Race was needlessly injected into this whole situation by black people, and now white people feel a need to "keep up." No one wins when we end up there.

Gee...

You can get everything you want.

Lesson Learned!!!!!!

Can't wait for the next installment of "justice".
