I didn't say anything about any individual has or hasn't gotten. You made a ridiculous claim about how you couldn't believe more people weren't aware of the bail system. I showed you the legal system regarding bails and just like in the Nebraska has lost people, you are AGAIN proven wrong. So you resort to " well I knew a person" etc etc. What you constantly show is how little you truly know...

Be nice to see some of these loopy, truncated statements around here, called out for what they normally are. NUTS.

Regardless of whether, or not, this guy is guilty of murder, there is one sad fact that is ignored by many. A kid got killed here. He was unarmed.
No one is sure what he was up to, but he died for no reason.
When certain sections of the political world weigh in on affairs like this, the other end of the scale immediately objects.
The whole affair is pretty sad.
Guilty, or not......

What if Zimmerman had died from having his head bashed on the sidewalk?
Would you say the same thing, even though he was armed?
I thought like you did at first, but as details are revealed, I think we need to all wait until the whole picture is show to us.

I among many others have stated multiple times that the entire incident was nothing but tragic for all involved. One life was ended and another was changed forever, and not in a good way. Then there are the families and friends on both sides whose lives have been irrevocably altered.
Sad is right...

I agree that it is sad that someone died. I have said that from the beginning. But, I think your statement holds no water when you say "no one is sure what he was up to", then you follow it up with but he died for no reason. How do we know what the reason was if no one is sure what he was up to?
Again, I am not justifying the death of him...just curious how you arrive at those statements when they seem to be in conflict with each other....

A young man 17 years old thinks of the opposite sex about 7,000 times a day, a 30 year old man thinks of it 4,000 a day. What was really wrong in this tragedy was getting in the kids face and not letting him resume thinking what every single kid thinks about as SOP going on with his business. It is OK to watch for out of place people and monitor them, but to be the cowboy is just plain stupid.
Why on earth does one want to confront when it is uncalled for?

The evidence, thus far, has evoked the same question from me about Martin.

If that's "stupid", what do you call this?

Hey...I never accused GWB of being the brightest light bulb in the factory either.
But then....even body language should be understood in its context, don't you agree?

Nonetheless, did Bush or Cash ever come out blazing with both barrels like this?
Seems to me, as a student of body language, this kid had twice the 'tude of either. Whaddya think?

yeah, he's a real piece of work. It's amazing the lengths he has gone to, to try and paint Martin in a certain light....all because of the color of his skin.
Makes sense why the middle finger seems to bother him. I imagine people have been flipping him the bird for a long time.

If he sported that kind of 'tude when he confronted Zimm, then I'd say he reaped what he sowed. As FastandFurious asked (but of the wrong person), "Why on earth does one want to confront when it's not necessary?" Couldn't have asked it better.

P.S. Maybe having twice the 'tude doesn't always equate to having twice the fun, eh Horsey?
