    Batman Jones -- I'm here to help you -- plenty of space in my home (River Oaks isn't too far from you, I believe) if times are tough (no homo). Don't commit suicide.

    I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I never said or "suggested" that strong Judges disallow race as a factor in cases..... then again I have noticed a pattern of you injecting your own biases.

    I never "suggested" that giving Zimmerman a pass on racism was a good deal for Martin....... again, you are injecting your own biased opinion. I said that if the door of racism is left closed, then the past of Martin is not fair game. In fact, if you bothered to get your head out of your ass, you would read that earlier I said that the past transgressions of Martin should be barred as they are irrelevant.

    You are correct on the last point.... what the Judge decides before the first witness is sworn in will have a huge bearing on the outcome of the case. The jury will only hear what the Judge allows, often times crucial evidence is barred.

    It is not uncommon for the State Attorney to hold off on immediately arresting/charging someone for a crime, especially a serious crime. Typically the matter is investigated more so that more evidence is available for a grand jury.

    Spike Lee tweeted the wrong address for Zimmerman. He put the woman in danger who lives there. I hope she isn't harmed. Atrocious behavior from Spike Lee, the New Black Panthers, et al

    http://dailycaller.com/2012/03/27/p...ess-possibly-putting-sanford-woman-in-danger/

    Filmmaker Spike Lee tweeted the wrong home address for George Zimmerman, the Sanford, Fla., man who many are claiming should be arrested for shooting and killing Trayvon Martin. The tweet could have potentially put the woman who actually lives at that address in danger.

    The Washington Times’ Kerry Picket went to the address that Lee tweeted as members of the New Black Panther Party were offering a $10,000 cash reward for Zimmerman’s capture, “dead or alive,” and others were demanding his arrest.

    “[T]he Edgewater Circle address Mr. Lee re-tweeted out is not part of the gated Retreat at Twin Lakes where the shooting took place and where Mr. Zimmerman lives,” Picket reported. “The area is not even a gated a community.”

    “In fact, I took a drive to that Edgewater Circle address that so many on Twitter re-tweeted and cursed, and I discovered through a neighbor, named Tim, who lives across the street from the address, that not only does George Zimmerman not live at the lakeside house but a woman by the name of Elaine does,” Picket added.

    Picket also said several news agencies have showed up at the address looking for Zimmerman, which – with the crowds the Panthers, MSNBC’s Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have whipped up into a frenzy – may have put the woman, Elaine, in danger.

    It’s unclear specifically which news agencies trekked to the address Lee tweeted and why they failed to report Lee’s inaccuracy.

    This report follows new revelations in the Martin case, including Zimmerman’s self-described membership in the Democratic Party, freshly surfaced tweets from Martin’s Twitter account, and Martin’s various suspensions from school.

    Thank you for your kind offer, texxx. I take it as sincere, in a kindly spirit, so thank you. But I am fine and your house does not have my girlfriend or my dog or my cats in it and so I like mine better. Still, thank you.

    I am not suicidal now though I, like many people that have this particular (and particularly hilarious - right, Casey?) sickness often am.

    Thank you for funny note and the laugh I got from it, Mr. Robot.

    It's enough now about my problems in a thread about a dead boy. I am as sorry I replied as I am that Casey brought it up to make fun of my mental illness and mental illness generally. He is a dick. But that is not what this thread is for.

    A boy is dead.

    so the Sanford PD shouldn't have declared something like "self-defense with no evidence contrary to it" days after the shooting

    Of course not. But if they are pounding your head into the pavement what would you do?

    I don't think that the Sanford PD should have said anything other than the matter has been referred to the DA.... let the DA take the heat for not filing the charges of communicating that they are actively investigating the matter.

    No one is supporting TM, he is dead.... this isnt about who supports Martin or Zimmerman. This is about investigating what happened that night and applying the law...

    Later the issue is whether the law should be amended.

    Keep in mind I have my doubts about if Martin was shot while pounding Zimmerman's head into the pavement. That might be the case but it doesn't fit the evidence. Anyway whether Zimmerman thought Martin was armed doesn't help Zimmerman's self-defense claim since Martin wasn't and even if he was Martin clearly engaged Zimmerman using fists rather than a gun.

    Typical? How convenient to ignore reality. People don't generally go up to people being "hostile toward them" who are brandishing weapons. It's been pretty well established that Trayvon had it over Zimmerman... until it was over.

    Honestly, the major developments in Zimmerman's defense so far are:

    1) 1 witness (who won't show his face/give his name unlike the many others who saw differently) that saw Martin on top of Zimmerman at some point.

    2) Multiple stories about why he was suspended (multiple different reasons including - fights/drug dealing/tardiness) that are uncited and probably being leaked by the police.

    3) Fake Pictures of Martin.

    4) Zimmerman's account of events (which contradict witness accounts/the 911 tapes)

    5) Claims that he needed medical treatment (although no medical records have been submitted/no pictures of the injuries collected).

    You have got to be kidding me. We need more facts right. Where are they? All I've heard is bull**** and unsubstantiated claims.
