    Grass stains on the knee area are definitive proof he did something wrong? LOL! :grin:

    It's proof he was on his knees throwing blows like the closest eyewitness is going to describe.

    So he shot him when he was on top of him? I think when you are on top of someone you are in control. Did he have control and then take the life of someone? Why would a person able, who is able to take a gun out and fire off shots, cry for help?

    A police dispatcher's word is not legal advise or gospel. How many times has this been discussed?

    You can not be in trouble for disregarding a dispatcher's instructions. Listening to a dispatcher could even get you killed depending on the situation. I decide what I do. I'm responsible for my own actions/safety.

    A dispatched has to say the most PC thing because of vicarious liability. Do you think a dispatcher is going to tell you to run into a burning building to grab someone? Do you think they will EVER tell you to use deadly force if someone has broken into your home? Everyone needs someone to put the liability on these days.

    Right, but from the call we know GZ got out of his car and follow a running person. That is not the issue that he disregarded the suggestion, it is that he pursued TM. Now the defense needs to prove that TM hid and attacked GZ rather than TM approaching GZ when they were apparently eyeing each other.

    Definitely. I always got in trouble when I would come home with grass stains on the knees of my pants. Very hard to get out in the wash.

    Lib Tool Tommy Christopher: Trayvon Martin Calling Zimmerman A “Cracker” Isn’t Racist, He Was Complimenting Florida’s Cowboy History…


    [​IMG]

    That’s right, Tommy “Sexy Beast” Christopher, who thinks everything is racist, wants us to believe Trayvon Martin calling Zimmerman a “creepy-ass cracker” is his way of paying tribute to Florida’s rich cowboy history.

    ‘Cracker’ Means Something Entirely Different In Florida: A Source Of ‘Pride’ — Tommy Christopher, Mediaite

    Keep reading…http://www.mediaite.com/online/crac...irely-different-in-florida-a-source-of-pride/

    Why would Mediaite publish Sexy Beast’s post? Maybe they like being the laughingstock of the internet.

    Why does this matter? Would you like me to post the ignorant white people who were making snide remarks about the boy singing the national anthem at the Spurs game a week or so ago?

    Posting this type of stuff is ignorant.

    It's freaking twitter. I can find matching racists comments from ignorant white people on the same site that these post from ignorant black people were found. What does this have to do with anything? That's right, absolutely nothing.

    It appears he was already there. He was an illegal drug user, racist and thug wannabe. Not exactly a recipe for success.

    and not to mention him gettin' down with DAT NECK chick. red alert
