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

I think it has. I think he's out of money and not paying them.

People are getting restless.

Police Car Shot Up in Trayvon Martin's Neighborhood

That is the ABC headline. Actually the police car shooting was in Sanford, Zimmerman's neighborhood.

Good to see the media is finally getting the story right!

What? Another boo-boo? Tsk.

Well, here's your chance to help a fine upstanding citizen. Maybe Zimmerman will donate a little cash to help clean up the graffiti.

They are very good at spreading inaccurate and incomplete info as loudly as possible.

The corrections come later and in the footnotes... after the damage has been done.

Witness how many here in this thread have taken the bait!

One article I read said something about Zimmerman calling Sean Hannity and talking to him off the record. Is this guy really that stupid?

Exhibits great judgement doesn't he?

This makes me ill.

Apparently Zimmerman is going off the reservation. He should just STFU until this is over. He tried to contact Angela Corey, but she wouldn't talk to him without his attorneys.

What the heck is he thinking?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

They call it the puppy brain for a reason.

Speaking of Angela Corey it looks like within the next couple of days she's gonna have some kind of news conference. Stay tuned.....

What the heck is he thinking?

he's not thinking, he's scared he's going to get gunned down in retaliation or charged and sent to prison and if he has any kind of a soul he should be struggling with the fact that it happened regardless of if it was justified.

he's reacting to the crap storm he's in not thinking......... and really its understandable its cool to be the tough guy on the internet like WE ALL DO and second guess every little thing etc. but how many of us know we wouldnt react and do stupid things too? of course this is the internet and we are all better than that............

Griffin this is not pointed at you, you just asked the right question

Interesting look at the case:

» Zimmerman will not be arrested, nor prosecuted for homicide

This is what many of us have thought from the beginning. He's a nut job. A self-appointed mall cop patrolling the neighborhood with his pocket 9.

be that as it may, if a kid is bashing your head on the sidewalk, you're going to stop the threat.

And in this case, that is all that should matter.

Why? Because he's broke and scared after receiving a myriad of death threats? Why do you think you'd handle it any better? There but for the grace of God go us all.

I still have some pretty serious doubts about the guy myself. Kind of like the Ron Paul supporters, though, the anti-Zimmerman folks makes me harden my position.

If I lived in an area that had seen a recent crime increase, why wouldn't I patrol around, looking for buttholes out trying to steal from good people? Why wouldn't I have a weapon on me when I did so?

I have no idea what kind of person Zimmerman is.

I don't see, however, why trying to protect his neighborhood is somehow evidence against him.

Fact: Martin's death was either justified or not.
Fact: It's likely we'll never know objectively whether it was or wasn't.
Fact: If you have a strong opinion right now about what actually happened, it says a lot more about you than it does about what happened.

Well said.

The fact that some gun owners are willing to crucify this guy over how the MEDIA has portrayed him and the events boggles my mind. Do people not realize how easy it would be for this to be one of us? How easy it would be for the media to completely twist even a totally justified self defense situation?

Half of what people have repeated on this thread bashing Zimmerman has been debunked(or proven to be edited, like the 911 calls), yet they STILL want his head..

CarmelHP summed it up for me..

Scares me some of the posts on this thread- the lack of logic or legal concepts.

Guess anybody can buy a gun.

I can name at least one that concerns me more.
