    Zimmerman was a form of authority protecting the residents of the gated community- it was his job. Who are you to say he didn't act out of self defense? Very different circumstances we're talking about here.

    Yeah, and nobody has been defending that, or acting like it didn't. It has nothing to do with the nurse killing the lady and kidnapping the baby.

    It also has nothing to do with Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. It has nothing to do with any of that, so I was curious why the heck you'd even bring up something so unrelated.

    No, he wasn't a form of authority, and no it wasn't his job. A neighborhood watch is a volunteer, and Zimmerman was off duty for his volunteer position.

    In addition Zimmerman did not in accordance with the procedures for neighborhood watch.

    Also Martin wasn't doing anything threatening that anyone in the community needed to be protected from.

    But you are right the circumstances are very different here, and I don't know why you referenced the Martin tragedy at all.

    I wouldn't think it would be too difficult for someone who has 17k+ posts since '08. :grin:

    it has everything to do with that. you made a big point to make sure that the OP understood that the 2 nutcases that he happened to name were requested by the victim's family. don't get up in arms when i bring up a 3rd nutcase whose knee-jerk reactions you can't excuse by saying they were also requested to be involved by the victim's family.

    that post is the last derailment of this thread that i will partake in. feel free to get the last word.

    He wasn't a part of any registered community watch position. It most certainly was not his job - he wasn't being paid, nor did he have any actual authority.

    I also don't recall ever saying that he didn't act out of self defense (it is possible though)I just know that I'd like to see someone arrested and tried when he admits to killing someone. The courts can sort it all out. "I’d rather let a thousand guilty men go free than let one innocent man be punished" and all that.

    I'll get up in arms when you do something as ignorant as compare Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to the new black panthers, who don't really share the same goals, and aren't connected in anyway.

    Jesse "the hero" Jackson, and Al Sharpton have called on peace and civility to be maintained and are speaking out at the request of the victim's family.

    The new black panthers aren't. They've advocated violence, and aren't in anyway connected to Sharpton, Jackson, or the Nurse who apparently killed a women, and kidnapped a baby.

    Yet somehow you seem to see a connection there. It's very odd. The fact that you believe Sharpton and Jackson who's rescued American military held as prisoners and American hostages before to somehow be the same, is just strange.

    If I'm not mistaken he has been charged with 2nd degree murder.

    I don't think that this has any element of racism honestly....

    I have to think this woman is deeply disturbed.......

    Yes, after a media-storm and calls from the DOJ. What I believe upset many people was the fact that the lead investigator wanted to press charges, but that request was not acted upon until after the media really drove the narrative. That in conjunction with the already established notion with the Sanford police being a tinge racist lead to the belief that nothing was going to be done regarding a child (17 is still a child legally) who had been killed.
    Now that he has been charged, there is a process in place to determine culpability and punishment for said culpability.

    You do not see the same level of outrage on a grand scale here since the shooter was arrested within 5 hours and now will face the process laid out by the judicial system for the, frankly, horrendous crimes she has admitted to committing.

    Agree. If I was on the jury there's no doubt she'd be Huntsville bound.

    Do you think he [H-TOWNFINEST] would give a ***** if they weren't????


    Dear Estaban and H-townFinest type folx,
    You know what I'm going to get you next Christmas, Estaban/HoustonFinest? A big wooden cross, so that every time you feel unappreciated for your sacrifices, you can climb on up and nail yourself to it.
