ZIMMERMAN VERDICT IS IN - NOT GUILTY

This, and the one about hoodies says somthing

No they don't look fake to me either. But they do look superficial. Possibly self-inflicted.

You forget Z's claim of self defense was not that T was going to punch him to death but that T saw his gun and was reaching for it. [/quote}
Wait, so which was it? Was Martin bashing Z on the ground, or was he going for the gun? Or was Z so outmanned that Martin could hold him down with one hand and reach for the gun with the other?


'Cause the guy on top is *always* the bad guy. You can tell any time you watch an old Western movie.

Did you notice during the George Zimmerman trial how the media kept repeating the salacious question “What if Trayvon Martin had been white?” They acted as if this question was the perfect response to Zimmerman defenders. They pretended that this was a question without a “safe” answer, but in reality, the question had already been answered.

In April of 2009 Mr. Roderick Scott awoke at 3am to the sounds of three young men breaking into cars on his street. He called the police and went down to the street to make sure the young men did not flee before the police arrived. He shouted at the three to “freeze” and told them that the police were coming soon. The three boys stood before the big man obviously considering what they should do.

That’s when Christopher Cervini (17) rushed at Mr. Scott uttering “I’ll get you” or “I’ll get him.” Roderick Scott fired twice, killing the teenager. The trial that followed was again a case of prosecutorial overreach, as they tried to charge Mr. Scott with manslaughter. Fortunately for Mr. Scott, a jury of his peers agreed with him that he did only what was needed to protect himself.

Afterwards the prosecutor opined, “I just hope it’s not a message to this community… that you have the right to shoot an unarmed 17-year-old kid for breaking into a car.” The problem is that Mr. Scott did not shoot young Christopher Cervini for breaking into his car, but for attacking him. While the Cervini family may now be in much pain over the loss of their son, he brought himself to his tragic end through a series of terrible choices. Roderick Scott had every right to protect himself; he did what he should have… and a jury of his peers agreed.

Oh, and Roderick Scott was a 42 year old black man about the size of an NFL linebacker. Christopher Cervini was a skinny, 17 year old white kid with a little bit of marijuana in his system. Scott was justified in the killing of the younger man not because of the crime that Cervini had committed, but because Scott rightfully feared for his own safety.

aclunaacpabsentThere was no “white uproar” over the shooting of a young white man at the hands of a black man with a “hero-complex.” The NAACP didn’t show up to argue that the shooter should be jailed, or that the Justice Department should pursue charges of civil rights violations against the man for killing Cervini. Jesse Jackson, Al Shartpon, and all of the other race hate baiters stayed home for the trial. The trial was treated as a tragic situation that a young man brought on himself by turning to violence.

Which is exactly how the George Zimmerman case should have been treated. The next time someone tells you, “What if…?” You can tell them it already happened, and the outcome was exactly the same… minus the racial tension.

We can never know if Trayvon reached for his gun or if he threatened to kill Zimmerman, we do know Trayvon was on top of Zimmerman beating his face in and that Trayvon had no injuries besides his fatal wound and his knuckles. Whatever Zimmerman did if anything at all to provoke that beating, Trayvon went way beyond just defending himself.

Those are the standards in your mind, not the law. Being injured is not the standard for initiating self-defense. If Zimmerman was still moving and Martin felt threat, he can reduce that threat and then take it to a jury. If a woman is jumped by a heavier man at night she won't have to show a scratch to justify the fear required to shoot him or cut his throat. Zimmerman, an adult, outweighed Martin and once physicality begins I'd say he has a pretty wide latitude to defend himself in the night.

We know that Zimmerman was eager to find Martin, we know he was deeply frustrated with "a**holes" and "f***ing punks" always getting away. We know someone on the phone says they heard Martin say "get off, get off". The trial just came down to reasonable doubt over the details not a rousing vindication of every sentence George ZImmerman ever strung together.

That rates an Nothing more. Repetition of old assertions that don't cover the full range of possibilities. For whatever reason. Knock yourself out with it.
