it doesn't matter what the injuries actually are, it matters if at the time HE THOUGHT the injuries were bad. It's about state of mind. Having your head repeatedly bashed against the concrete is going to be justifiable reason to shoot in self defense, even if in hindsight they may not turn out that bad. In the heat of the moment you can't make a rational conclusion about something like that.

George Zimmerman being the Neighborhood watch guy, cop wanna be should have known being in a fist fight isn't cause for lethal action.

I dont mind it, when I am bored, but I realize how fruitless it is. I have been making an effort not just on this but on other topics as well, to not waste too much time posting when I know it's going in one ear and out the other. It's not healthy. I don't know how many times I have had to even talk about basic things like burden of proof. But like all of us I get pulled in sometimes against my better judgment.

I find a great deal if what I say to people goes in one ear and out the other, but it has never stopped me from talking ;), Otherwise, life on Earth would be peace, love and grooviness because I would have convinced them to make love not war, love their neighbor and fuck their brains out, excuse my language, DQ.

I dont believe i have ever specifically said that, but If I did, I was not wrong. He didn't specifically mention to follow him, but he did ask twice where he was going. By continuing to prompt questions asking to follow up where the person is, when the person is clearly walking and on the move, obviously indicates a request to follow. The states own witness even admitted that he could see someone interpret his comments that way.

You want me to find the quote? You were wrong because you said he specifically told Zimmerman to follow him. You are still wrong. He asked in WHAT DIRECTION "he [was] heading towards." He did not ask "where he was going" which is not something Zimmerman could have told him.

Yes, it is absolutely possible, that you and Zimmerman were wrong and misunderstood the request. But that is not your claim here. Your claim is that you were right about everything.

Lol, he admitted to shooting Trayvon, the crime was Trayvon was unarmed, well, except for his fists and there is conflicting evidence he used them.

How can you be so uninformed? What is the conflicting evidence as to whether Trayvon attacked Zimmerman?
 
The Zimmerman-Martin issue has got to be one of the most posted about issues in JPP history (as least since I've been here). There have been thousands of posts on this story. Has another topic topped this one in terms of post numbers people can think of?

While I usually enjoy signalmankenneth's posts, this one is symptomatic of a serious problem in our culture.

For some reason there is a casual acceptance of prison rape in this country.

Otherwise 'liberal' folks think nothing of making a joke about someone they don't like being raped -- and these are usually the same folks who are (rightfully) indignant when governments torture people.

Similarly, libertarians who like to wave the Constitution under everyone's nose have no problem overlooking the prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment when it comes to those behind bars.

The general attitude seems to be that "they have it coming", that "prison justice" is a natural extension of the criminal justice system.

But the fact is, prison rape is epidemic -- and it contributes nothing positive to our society while perpetuating many ills.

And let's not forget, folks, that innocent people get sent to prison too.

These kinds of 'jokes' about prison rape only serve to further desensitize all of us to a very real societal ill, which in turn makes it more difficult for that ill to be addressed as a matter of public policy. No one will be motivated to change the system when the rest of us turn a blind eye or make jokes about it.

Rape is rape -- even when it happens in prison, even when it happens to someone you don't like.

I could not agree with you more. I was going to start a thread about this very topic. I would also add to your thread that there are other prevailing themes to the left wingers that gleefully post about men being raped. The first is that they ALWAYS throw in the name "Tyrone" which is sort of racist if you think about it because it implies that only black guys in prison rape other men. It also seems very homophobic in nature.

The other aspect of this that stands out to me is the stunning silence from our resident feminists. Where is Darla, Rana and the other Pussy Princesses who wax poetic about the "rape culture". Imagine their utter outrage if someone took glee and wished for a woman to be raped in prison? Their collective tampon strings would spontaneously combust.

I am also puzzled by the silence of our resident faggoty faggots. You would think that they would not like their homosexual predilections being portrayed this way.

Lastly is the silence of our board race cops who seek out every racial transgression and scream "WHITE PRIVILEGE". Where is BAC on this? Why is he not offended by the implication that "Tyrone" is always doing the raping? Are the lefties not implying that ONLY black guys are violent rapists? Seems racist to me, yet BAC is silent.

Then there is Poet who is a faggot and black (so he says) who should be wildly offended by this, yet he cheers it on.

If you beat the shit out of them do they have the right to shoot you? and by the way, a broken nose and a few lacerations are to the back of the head is not having the shit beat out of you.

if martin had stopped at just that, we'd be having an assault and battery trial with trayvon as the defendant, but we have no way of knowing just how far trayvon would have kept going. It could have ended in death for zimmerman if he hadn't had a gun, but then most of you would be ignoring this white mans death.

shooting an unarmed person is not a crime if that person is still beating you with his fists. i'm betting that you'd consider it self defense if martin was beating a woman and she shot him, wouldn't you?
 
If Zimmerman wouldn't have overstepped his boundaries as a neighborhood watch participant....we would have had neither and assault charge OR a dead person

You bet your ass they do. If I maliciously attack someone who has done me no harm, they have every right to shoot me.
 
Professor Baxter said:
Was that what happened? No. That is not even analogous.

Zimmerman was in a car, a superior defensive position, following Trayvon, on foot. Then Trayvon fled and Zimmerman left his car to pursue.

It's perfectly analogous. If someone is following me, according to you, I have the right to attack them.

lots of tweets going around about black people getting ready to kill whitey if zimmerman is acquitted. Looks like I better buy more ammo.

Oh yeah, all your wet dreams and ruined sheets were not in vain! Load 'em up and wait by the door, STY. The rest of us realize that "tweets" don't dictate life for all. Carry on.

maybe your dumbfucktardass will see the question mark in the subject line and you won't jump to idiot conclusions like you always do.

Why do the Zimmerman supporters insist on repeatedly dropping context?

Zimmerman behaved in a way that any rational person would expect to elicit a response. Trayvon fled and Zimmerman continued pursuing. Zimmerman even expressed concern that Martin might be listening in on the conversation with dispatch and so he clearly understood that his behavior might cause some form of retaliation. But he continued and with a deadly weapon. ZIMMERMAN put himself in danger and seemingly did not think twice about it because he was armed.

He is at least guilty of manslaughter.
