Dr. Phil The Zimmerman Episode Self Defense Poll

[youngda9]

...Nobody really knows for sure how the initial confrontation went down...

Agreed...he should be acquitted due to not having evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.

Agreed...he should be acquitted due to not having evidence beyond a reasonable doubt.

Good chance it will turn out that way.

The key word in my post is bolded above.

IMO, The local law didn't find enough evidence to hold him untill everyone from the Commander in Chief down got involved. TM was said to be a model for all youth untill the press got to digging into his past and wouldn't you know it turns out he was an up and comming drug user, kicked out of school. I do believe Zimmerman told the story just the way it went down, again IMO.

Well said!

I don't have evidence one way or another to make an informed opinion on the case. That is what courts should be for. However I think that George Zimmerman is going to be attacked, bankrupted, and forced to take a plea deal. That is generally how it works in this age. Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent does a very good job of showing how the criminal justice system is out of control and need to be fixed so that people like George are not destroyed defending their rights and freedom. There are many cases in the that book that mirror what George (and now his wife) are going though.

I simply stated that he made a bad decision. That is not to infer that he deserved anything. My opinion is that once dispatch told him not to pursue he probably was unwise to do so. I still believe he is not guilty.

This dispatcher also said not to do something.

Henderson teen tells 911 dispatcher: 'I just shot the man' :: WRAL.com

4 people versus a 17yo girl and a 14yo boy and the dispatcher says do nothing. I don't care what a dispatcher says.

If you like voting, head on back and hit it again.

That's apples and oranges. Someone breaking into your home is not the same as you pursuing someone outside the home.

Dispachers have no authority over anything. They don't have police training and know the laws. It is best to give your name, status, location, BRIEF info on what is going on and then either hang up or set the phone down so as to not be distracted by their babbling.

Martin had commited NO crime.

Actually that's not true. Walking between houses on personal property is trespassing. Then there's the little thing about assault on Z.... but you can be like one of our fine upstanding LEO's here that thinks he needs to pay guilty or not.

 

[bobzilla]

Like I have said in MANY previous posts..I would confront anyone following me!

That was the same philosophy Martin had too. Look where that got him. A wise man once told me (ok, he told me this several times because I was young and stupid at the time) sometimes the fight you never have to make is the best one. IE, it's better to walk away/run away than to start something you may not see a good ending to.

I said a couple of times I would not confront him in the manner Martin did.

My point about him not commiting a crime referred to Zimmerman initially targeting Martin.
That should have been kinda obvious.

Maybe in der fatherland, but in America, it certainly ins't epecially when there's a sidewalk present (ie community property).

They do. My mom has tried to get me to watch him. I give him as much credit and I do Opera. NONE!. I don't dirty my tv or my DVR system with that channel. The few times I 1/2 watched him, my mom was over visiting. He's a loon!

To be fair, he's making millions off of loons, but doubtful he's one of them.
