    I think its worse than Watergate, a burglary to dig up dirt on a political opponent cannot compare with "the media" taking off after a private citizen like a swarm of killer bees to right the wrongs of slavery and Jim Crow. I know which one scares me more...

    This is the kind of yellow journalism responsible for various wars, both foreign and domestic (drugs?), that has ruined the lives of millions. Albeit they're only sacrificing one person this time (and those harmed in riots, etc), but its the same beast rearing its ugly head.

    Yes, but not in the way you seem to think. They asked him if he was following Martin shortly after he opened his car door, so why exactly was he out of his vehicle and wandering about after that point (especially considering he patrolled the area constantly so certainly knew where he was)?
    The dispatcher asked Zimmerman to let them know if Martin did anything and followed that up with "where is he running". Only after Z tried to find out where he was running did the dispatcher issue a repeal and the tape shows Z agreed and stopped following. Martin headed south of the T in the sidewalk and Zimmerman went east to get an address from the next street over. When he returned to his truck following the top of the T, Martin "ambushed" him when he passed by again.

      • Zimmerman also counter-filed for a restraining order and received it. So it may have fights between him and his partner.

            changing the subject is not a rebuttal, but I'd be scared if that kid was bouncing my head on concrete and went for my gun

              • If they had proved that, he wouldn't have gotten off.

                  did they manage to prove someone got killed?

                    • I find the whole thing silly how they couldn't prove murderous intent or whatever. In my mind, running around outside with a gun is murderous intent! Sane, law abiding people don't carry guns. They don't own guns. Anyone who has a gun automatically has murderous intent. That's what guns are for. Killing people.

                      • I guess I have murderous intent whenever I go to the skeet range.

                        Your perspective on guns is ludicrous.

                          No. It's called being sane.

                          Skeet shooting is stupid. Get a hobby that doesn't involve murdering people.

                          Do you get a giant teddy bear like at the carnival if you win?

                            Holy fvck! Then don't carry a gun! Have none of you ever smoked pot? You have a teenager with marijuana in his system... pot does not make you aggressive. It is not a performance enhancing drug. If anything it makes you slower and more paranoid. If you were smoking pot, you might even think the weird person following you might be trying to kill you... and you might be right. The nice thing is, I'm sure American wild west justice will prevail and Zimmerman, who has set himself up as the fastest gun in Florida, will be shot. Dead. I'm sure his killer will get a fair trail.
                            There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.
