    Rodney King was exactly what I was thinking about, lol. Though I was in 2nd grade when that happened, I think some s*** might definitely go down though.

    Interesting, that could be trouble for GZ - but I still think he walks. The prosecution's case has just been too weak.

    It's interesting to think about though - what would you do if someone was following you on a cold dark night?

    Fight or flight is one of the most primal of our instincts. I may have made the choice to fight as well at TM's age.

    Lets see... case not going the way the prosecution had hoped. Let's add another charge right before the defense rests. The whole point of knowing what you are charged with is so your defense can defend those charges. This trial should be declared a mistrial. Not only that but badgering a defendant to testify is way out of bounds and never done in open court. The defense and Zimmerman are getting a railroad job at all costs, but there are plenty of problems that will result in a higher court vacating any decision here. Don't defend yourself in Florida with deadly force, at least if your white Hispanic...take your beating.

    This trial never was about justice. It was a set up from the start, and the judge is going to do everything she can to get a conviction. The prosecution has been able to bring up George's past, but the defense could not bring up Trayvon's violent tendencies. Remember there has to be a conviction to save face for Obama who said, "If I had a son he would have been just like Trayvon," a 17 year old mar1juana using thug.

    Miami Police Bring In Horses, Batons, Plan Riot Formations For Possible Violence After Zimmerman Verdict…

    [​IMG]

    The city must be worried about being called racists because they claim it’s just a training exercise while the police officers say it’s aimed at the Zimmermna trial.

    http://miami.cbslocal.com/2013/07/1...for-potential-violence-after-zimmerman-trial/

    MIAMI (CBS4) – Wednesday, around high noon, dozens of Miami Police officers lined up for riot training.

    Armed with batons and horses, officers ran through various formations preparing for the worst.

    “It’s a mandatory training. All these officers are given this equipment and it’s in the event we have civil unrest at any given moment our officers are ready on a minute’s notice,” Miami Police spokesman Freddie Cruz said.

    Ironic that is happening the same week a verdict in the controversial George Zimmerman trial could come down, a verdict that could incite civil unrest.

    “This is just purely coincidence and it is mandatory training we have to do every year.” Cruz reassured.

    Miami’s police union believes almost too coincidental.

    “It’s very coincidental that it’s falling at this time.” Javier Ortiz with the Fraternal Order of Police said.

    The union president said he hadn’t heard about the training until a few weeks ago.

    “We haven’t had the training since 2011 so I don’t know if it really considered routine.”

    The training, happening for weeks, will wrap up this week.

    “There has been some talk among the officers that we believe that this training has to do with the fact that there might be some type of civil unrest, but we are hoping that that doesn’t happen,” Ortiz said.

    It wasn't Iced Tea, it was Arizona brand Watermelon juice and mixed with skittles is a known combination when drinking lean. Even his toxicology report shows evidence of past abuse.

    Again, just reporting the story that was reported. I have never taken credit for any story or commentary that is not my own. I appreciate your consideration on this matter.

    Who wrote this?

    You're posting this as your own writing without linking the original source; that is plagiarism.

    We all know watermelon juice is deadlier than iced tea.

    I am not posting it as my own. I have stated numerous times that I am posting news stories that I find. I post the complete post as is found. I don't change any wording but post it verbatim. If you feel this is something you don't like, I will be sure to include a link to where it is found. Although nothing more than what I post will be found at the link because I post everything that is at the original site on the news story.

    Ice tea is not used when mixing lean. But watermelon juice is a known and popular ingredient in the narcotic mix.

    Who says differently?

    He was now carrying deadly Watermelon fruit cocktail, and not the perfectly safe Arizona Iced Tea.

    It gives more insight into the type of person Trayvon had become in his late teen years. That includes the conversations he had on Facebook about abusing the drug a full year before the incident.
