    On what do you base your claim that he is racist?

    Yeah, and if the kid is able to stun GZ or knock him out, then he can take GZ's gun and kill him with it.

    Take it like a man. Said like a guy that's never had his ass kicked.

    So, how do you know that TM didn't tell GW that he was going to kill his creepy cracka ass?

    Hello. Don’t recognize me? That’s OK; I understand.
    My name was Antonio West. I was the 13-month old child who was shot in the face at point blank range by two black teens, who were attempting to rob my mother, who was also shot.
    I think my murder and my mommy’s wounding made the news for maybe a day, and then disappeared.
    A Grand Jury of my mommy's peers from Brunswick, Georgia ruled the black teens who murdered me will not face the death penalty... too bad it was me who got the death sentence from my killers instead, because Mommy didn’t have the money they demanded.

    See, my family made the mistake of being white in a 73% non-white neighborhood, but my murder wasn’t ruled a ‘hate crime’.
    Oh, and President Obama didn’t take a single moment to acknowledge my murder. He couldn’t have any children who could possibly look like me - so why should he care?

    I’m one of the youngest murder victims in our great Nation's history, but the media didn’t care to cover the story of my being killed in cold blood.

    There isn’t a white equivalent of Al Sharpton, because if there was he would be branded a ‘racist’. So no one’s rushing to Brunswick, Georgia to demonstrate and demand ‘justice’ for me. There’s no ‘White Panther’ party, either, to put a bounty on the lives of the two black teens who murdered me.
    I have no voice, I have no representation, and unlike those who shot me in the face while I sat innocently in my stroller - I no longer have my life.
    Isn’t this a great country?

    So while you’re out seeking ‘justice for Trayvon’, please remember to seek ‘justice’ for me. Tell your friends about me, tell you families, get tee-shirts with my face on them, and make the world pay attention, just like you did for Trayvon.

    I won’t hold my breath.
    I don’t have to anymore.

    I don't think those links have the information that you think they have. Obama co-sponsored the bill strengthening self-defense/SYG laws by protecting citizens against civil liability, Slate.com's take or otherwise. Nowhere in those to articles is it proven otherwise. Did you get your 'proof' at DemocraticUnderground? LOL

    There is no stand your ground law.

    The Bill in question strengthened the castle doctrine part of the self defense statute.

    You're not a LIV, so I'm quite sure you know about the castle doctrine.

    another bitter douchebag leading their rebuttle with insults. I'm not too fond of woman beating-child molesters though... you've got me pegged there. Should we just agree to disagree that those sorts are hate worthy?

    while portions of GW's story are probably true, his overall story is ridiculous and has changed significantly over time. More importantly, the core issue for society is that he's proven to be a dangerous scumbag. I'm open to the possibility that Travon was scaring GW... he seems like Elmer Fudd caught in a desperate nightmare. His original story of Travon hiding in the bushes to jump him from behind fell to the wayside when during the walkthrough there were no bushes to jump out of. He shifts to "I couldn't see anything because of my busted flashlight" while at the same time saying Travon could apparently see him just fine... maybe it was that huge street lamp right beside George and all the other street lamps lining the roads and walkways that we see in the walkthrough? I've previously listed several other inconsistencies/laughable impossibilities in his stories and believe me there are more, but the point is he's obviously scrambling/lying

    I thought it unlikely but bizarro world possible that Zimmerman might be just some sad sack trying to do the right thing but failing miserably up until a few days ago. After listening to the tapes of the cousin he molested for a decade, that went out the window. I'd suggest you give that a listen.

    Haha please. His "injuries" were termed superficial and inconsequential in court which is completely in line with scrapes I've had. There is no possible way that he received the beating he claimed. Sorry. I've broken a few noses, and theres always been a hell of a lot of blood. Dual black eyes happen shortly thereafter. It doesn't take much to bust someone wide open. If Travon had been raining punches down as George claimed, DNA evidence absolutely would have been on his hands and in his fingernails. George wouldn't have had a couple minor cuts he featured in the police photos. The evidence absolutely did not support George's stories

    the prosecution failed in a lot of ways, but George absolutely sought the confrontation in the first place. Regardless of the jury's verdict, he's completely out of line. He showed up armed against the direction of his volunteer position. He ignored his neighborhood watch training & direct police instructions that night. At the very least, his most ardent supporters should claim he's a complete yahoo idiot. Given his violent history, he's exactly the sort of person that shouldn't be allowed to pack heat. That he did against orders and instigated this confrontation for no good reason is why this tragedy took place. Being found not guilty, does not mean you are innocent.

    Given his history, I ask again how much smoke before it's reasonable to conclude that there is a fire? I've seen the police doing unreasonable things, but I never beat one of them up. How many girlfriends have alleged you beat them and then took restraining orders out on you? I don't know about you, but none of my cousins ever accused me of molesting them once let alone for 10+ years. I'm no Columbo, but my not being a sick fuck molester probably has a lot to do with that.

    good grief he killed the only other witness so his flip flopping BS story was the only one for the jury to consider. And btw, OJ was let go too

    Again, OJ Simpson was let go following killing his wife and another... society didn't just stand by and welcome him with open arms and GW doesn't have nearly the PR in the bank that Simpson did. Zimmerman's vigilante actions were the cause of this tragety. While this case falls in the grey area of whats legal (since he killed the other witness and Florida has some fucked laws), that doesn't mean society is going to forgive and forget his role in causing this.

    I'm not sure what railroad you're claiming I'm calling for. I've said he's going to be ostracized from society. He's a PR nightmare and will have a hard time finding/retaining employment. I'd certainly avoid giving any company he might work for business... even you aren't naive enough to think that would just be me right? He already was a pariah within his greater family from molesting his cousin and reports are he's been estranged from his immediate family for years too. Now the cold shoulder will be world wide

    Sucks to be George as well it should. He beat his woman. He beat up a cop. He molested his cousin for 10 years. He failed spectacularly in his volunteer neighborhood watch position. Dude is a disaster and society will shun him. Free man or not, you reep what you sow

    I don't care about whose injuries were greater than the other. All I care is who started it--who created the situation.

    In thousands of legal cases over the decades, a man #1 has followed a man #2, #2 has turned around, stood his ground, and a fistfight has ensued. The courts find #1 guilty of starting the fight. Sometimes #2 is adjudged to have contributed, but #1 gets the bigger penalty.

    If #1 starts to lose the fight he caused and plays the victim card in court, the courts say tough luck. And if #1 feels fear during the fight he caused and murders #2, the courts throw the book at him.

    Each year, many convenience store robberies result in murder. The robber says he entered not intending to kill anyone. The law says that doesn't matter. What matters is who created the situation--who started it.

    This case sends all crooks the news that they can chase you down, kill you if you resist, and then play the victim card to get off.

    Nothing about TM's girlfriend today? I can't site any source, but I heard that we'll be hearing more about her soon.

    I could say more, but I won't, because if it's bs, I'll look like more of a fool than I usually do.
