The state that elected a crook for governor sets a new standard for
stupidity *and* hypocrisy.

Matthew Dowd, President George W. Bush?s former chief strategist, on
Sunday observed that the same conservative legislatures and governors
who are championing so-called Christian values like prayer in schools
are also pushing for dangerous gun laws that are counter to Christian
teachings.

During a panel on ABC, ?Nightline? anchor Terry Moran noted that
Florida?s ?Stand Your Ground? law gave officials cover to not arrest
neighborhood watch vigilante George Zimmerman for killing Trayvon
Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old African American boy.

?No other state has a law like this,? Moran explained. ?Not only is it
a ?Stand Your Ground? law ? in the olden days under common law you had
a duty to retreat. ?Stand Your Ground? says, no, you don?t have to.
Florida goes one step farther. ?Stand Your Ground? is self defense ?
defense at trial. It would go to trial where the jury would figure out
what happened.?

?In Florida, the law says if you raise a claim of self defense after
killing someone in public, you can?t even be arrested,? he added.
?It?s why prosecutors and police hated this law. It sabotaged our
justice system. All this discussion we?ve heard ? What did Zimmerman
do? What did Trayvon do? ? Juries are supposed to figure that out. The
Florida law destroys that American system.?

?There is such irony about this,? Dowd agreed. ?Most of the states
that have passed this including Florida and the ?Stand Your Ground?
laws and the expanded gun-ownership laws where you can carry a
concealed weapon are also the same states and the same legislatures
and the same governors who sort of pushed for prayer in the school.?

Dowd continued: ?To me, there is such and irony here, that we want to
be a Christian nation and we want to act in a Christian manner, but
oh, by the way, we don?t believe in the turn your other cheek and we
don?t believe in love your enemy. We believe in loading citizens and
basically giving them an opportunity to shoot people.?


When you see the likes of some of this groups Florida residents,
nothing surprises me.


Just what "this groups Florida residents" is that?

Will you feel the same way if it is determined that Zimmerman was on

fired. That is also consistent with what the witnesses have said.


You're backwards from what I've read. It was Martin that was calling
for help and Zimmerman who was doing the straddling.

Whatever the case, Zimmerman was told to stand down and wait for
officers to arrive. Stand your ground will not be a successful
defense and will get overturned in your state legislature.

Bad, stupid law.


Oh, so only the great JPS knows what really happened... BTW, your
version (the new black panther party version) is not supported by the
facts we already have...


So do YOU "know what really happened"? Fact: the kid was unarmed. Fact:
The Sanford police knew Zimmerman well, because he was a hot head that
called the police so frequently that they often completely ignored him.
Another fact to add to that, he'd been reprimanded by the police for
abusing the 911 system. Fact: It took only a few hours for the
regressives to make it political. Fact: If he would have attacked me as
he did the kid, he'd have gotten his ass kicked a whole lot worse. Fact:
Zimmerman never saw the kid commit or attempt to commit a crime, the kid
was simply stalked and harassed. Fact: this Zimmerman, who the
regressives have put on a pedestal is a known abuser of women. He
assaulted his wife.

There is nothing wrong with the stand your ground law. Ther is something
wrong with Zimmerman.


I agree.

If Zimmerman's story is right, he wasn't standing his ground, he was
trying to get back in his truck. (retreating)
That is why I am waiting to see what the FBI says.
We have had a lot of people using inflammatory rhetoric without
hearing one defense witness or even hearing the defendant's story.
That is not justice. It is a lynching



Zimmerman murdered a kid wearing a hooded sweatshirt and carrying a soft
drink and a bag of candy. There isn't the slightest bit of evidence that
the kid was in any way threatening the shooter. In fact, the evidence to
date indicates the kid was chatting on his cellphone with his girlfriend.


Martin's last words in that chat are Martin challenging Zimmerman,

If you are seriously threatened on the
street, and let the prosecutors try to prove you weren't defending
yourself.


What the defense is going to say. This may not be a stand your ground
case at all.

The original self defense law says "fear imminent bodily "harm" (not
death)"

Zimmerman sustained bodily harm.

How long would you and the rest of the pistolaros here tolerate
someone over you beating you up while you are on your back on the
ground. The physical evidence and all of the witness statements are
consistent with that story.
Witness says
White shirt on top of another guy who is crying like a child and
getting pummeled
Evidence shows
Grass and dirt on the back of Zimmernans RED shirt, Martin's WHITE
hoodie, the cut on the back of Zimmerman's head and the bloody nose.

Martin's father said that was not his son's voice on the 911 call.

I am still waiting to see what all of this investigation turns up but
those are the facts as I have seen them. I know it is tragic when
anyone dies but actions have consequences. If martin attacked
Zimmerman for following him, this is not what has been presented in
the media and they will need to walk back a lot of this rhetoric.

It is unlikely that the Florida courts would find him guilty even that
they return an indictment unless we find out a whole lot more than we
know now.

Did Martin have any injuries indicating Zimmerman hit him?
Was his hoodie dirty?
What was the bullet trajectory?
Are there any more witnesses or even a video?

At the end of the day it is up to the prosecutor to prove, without a
shadow of a doubt that Zimmerman's story is not true, That is a tough
hill to climb with the evidence we have seen so far.

I suppose Holder could prosecute him for a thought crime but that is
what it would be.


Great level headed write up Greg...


Yeah, we need idiot vigilantes who'll patrol the streets of suburbia and
kill any kid they see with a hoodie and a bag of candy.

Not true. The exact words were "we don't NEED you to do that". There
was never a comment that he shouldn't.


This fat **** needed to stay in his car. A 17 year old kid would be
alive and no one would want to skin his fat ass alive.

If the kid had just kept walking he would be alive too but he chose to
turn around and attack Zimmerman because he did not like the way he
was looking at him.


The kid would have been still been alive is Zimmerman had not gotten out
of his vehicle and pursued the kid. Zimmerman initiated the entire
incident.




Too much bull**** to know that... First off, Zimmerman is not "white" as
the New York Lies suggests, and why do they keep showing three year old
pictures of Martin? Could it be that he is a lot bigger and more
imposing now? The media has not given any of you the facts, that's why
the FBI is in there... Hopefully Holder's racist Dept of Justice for
Black Panthers and associates doesn't get any more involved, that's just
campaign hookeybookey...


"Too much bull**** to know that"? If Zimmerman had not gotten out of his
vehicle and pursued the kid that he wouldn't still be alive????

Once you have shaprton and farakahn involved, it can be noting else.
Neither one can pass up an opportunity to make a few dollars, a few

Watching someone from your truck is not pursuit, it is watching.
If it turns out Martin approached the truck, he was the pursuer.

When Zimmerman got out of his truck he initiated pursuit. Zimmerman
could have driven away and let the police handle the situation.
Zimmerman escalated the situation which resulted in Martin's death.

Zimmerman says he never approached or pursued Martin, he got out of
the truck to read a road sign.

You can't fault a teenager for looking into a car, it is what they do.

When you have had dozens of car burglaries, that is suspicious.


The transcript from the gir;lfriend seems to support that. The initial
contact was Martin confronting Zimmerman in that call.

You mean Martin confronted a man who got of his car and pursued Martin.
Zimmerman is the adult in this whole situation and he should have shown
better judgment.

There is no evidence that Zimmerman ever approached Martin. It appears
the opposite is true.
He says he was jumped from behind.


Of course he says that. And you believe him.


The Sanford Police believe him and a few of us are still willing to
wait to see if the FBI believes him.

It is the people who have already made up their mind that he chased
Martin down and shot him (some even believe, in the back) who are
doing the lynching.


Nobody Believes Martin was shot in the back, but bigots and racists will
say it anyway because it suits their agenda. The hypocrisy is in their
willingness to take away a citizens rights in the name of someone elses...


Citizens rights include not following the orders of Law Enforcement? He
was told to stay in his car.
