The real question is whether there was an imminent threat. How
many of

You don't know if that's what happened.

As I have stated a number of times, the state can't prove that is not
what happened either.
Why is it so hard to believe that a dope smoking thief like Martin
would not attack someone. (there IS evidence of the theft and dope)

That's just silly! Anyone knows you can't prove a negative. Why is it so
hard to believe that a known (and arrested for) violent vigilante like
Zimmerman would attack someone?

If the state can't prove Zimmerman's story is wrong he is innocent.
He says he was walking away from Martin when he was attacked.


I would not be surprised if you have a number for that but the big
city philosophy is that you are supposed to tolerate crime, make a
report to the police and assume nobody will ever be arrested for it.

As opposed to killing a kid armed with Skittles.......

You don't need a weapon to harm someone. Over 800 people were killed
in the US in 2009 with hands or feet as the only weapon (the last year
I could find data for)

As opposed to killing a kid armed with Skittles......

Why the fascination with the Skittles? Who cares what this kid stole
from the 7-11 if he was trying to kill Zimmerman with his bare hands?



Some of us moved here because we don't want to live like that. If
Harry wants to boycott Florida, do it.
All the time he is bragging about his license to carry in Maryland.
I am still waiting to hear what the justification he used on the
application was.

If they didn't want to live like that, why move to the 'burbs of
Orlando, it's been a big city for a LONG time.


Sanford is nothing like New York, Chicago or DC
It is 16 miles and a culture away from Orlando.
Orlando is not even like any North Eastern city I have seen.
It is just a big conglomeration of theme parks and hotels.

Bull****!! Orlando LONG before Disney et al was a big working city.

Before Disney, Orlando was a tiny ******** in central Florida that was
mainly known for being a rail depot shipping oranges and cattle north.
The biggest emploiyers were the Air Force and Martin-Marietta.

Now it is a huge ******** with the main industry being the fleecing of
tourists, either at a theme park or in a conventional robbery. If I am
going north, I go up 301, just to miss Orlando.

As far as your take on Sanford, then just why was Zimmerman a vigilante
who claimed that he was doing this because of "numerous" break ins if
Sanford is such an idyllic place?



You are simply pointing out why Zimmerman had a right to be afraid of
a thug like Martin.


You have no evidence Martin was a thug. Zimmerman had an arrest record
that indicates he was a thug.

What was Zimm. ever convicted of?
