The law is not stupid. The absolute lack of common sense in America
is. So is the fact that the richest Americans have, since
Eisenhower,
gradually bought more and more of the government until today, they
own
it.

A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.

The police are not available to protect you. They are available to
document the crimes you have committed or that have been committed
against you.

Yeah, the stand your ground law lets you kill innocent children,
that's
great huh?

Keeps harry feelin' secure...


Uh, we don't have a Florida-like "stand your ground" law, little dummy.
If, however, a violent little turd like you breaks into a house down
here, it is unlikely anymore than the prosecutors will claim the
victims
had an "obligation to retreat." In other words, when you break into a
house down here, you'll likely be shot. The question is, how good a
shot
is your intended victim? Will they shoot you dead or just use a shotgun
to blow off your legs from the knees down?

You should think about that before you engage in home invasion, little
putz.

Wow, you sure talk tough for a guy who obviously wouldn't have the balls
to pull the trigger... LOL!


True, harry was too chicken to serve.


It's one thing to wave a weapon around but to actually bead down and
pull the trigger as you are being bum rushed, is a lot different... Same
thing with a knife.. Punks will wave them around and slice at you, but
very few have the guts to drive to the chest. harry will pull his widdew
cap gun on someone someday and if we are lucky the guy will take it and
feed it to him a click at a time...



Setting yourself up for a home invasion down here, little putz?

Zimmerman opened the door for this confrontation. He rightfully
deserves a hefty portion of the criminal responsibility. Not all,
certainly, but a hefty portion as determined by the courts.


The homeowner who hears a commotion outside and who then goes outside
and finds someone trying to kill a person. The someone doing the killing
turns on the homeowner and lunges at him with a bloody knife and the
homeowner kills the guy with his gun. Did the homeowner initiate the
confrontation and should the homeowner be bear responsibility for a
hefty portion of the criminal responsibility of killing the killer?

The problem with the FL law is that the judgment of good shooting or
not is made solely by a judge, a single man. That decision should be
made by 12.


Tell that to the guy in Philly.

There is no "the legal definition" of home invader, Mr. Uneducated.
There are many definitions of the term in use. For me, a home invader is
a criminal who breaks into or forces his way into your house with
criminal intent while people are at home. If no one is at home, it's
burglary.

My assumption is that if someone breaks in here while we are at home,
he's intent on causing physical harm. It's not necessarily easy to
"retreat."

Your slow-witted right-wing buddy JustHate has implied any number of
times that he'd try to *push* his way in here. That is home invasion. If
he tried that, he'd be leaving on a gurney or in a body bag, and I'd
probably get an award for improving the gene pool.

Perhaps that's a true statement. But if Zimmerman is guilty and found guilty, then there must be

Of course, if he is not guilty and found not guilty, then there will be many who reiterate your

Apples and Oranges. Now, you are talking (1) castle doctrine and (2) a
felonious act being committed.

not is made solely by a judge, a single man. That decision should be
made by 12.


Tell that to the guy in Philly.


He probably already knows that. The Castle Doctrine Act there requires
the "good shooting" decision to be made by the DA.



There is no single law in the United States that covers the so-called
"Castle Doctrine." Instead, we have the usual state-by-state patchwork
of laws pertaining to that and to what you can do if you are a victim of
a home invader.

Castle Doctrine laws, however, typically aren't like Florida's idiotic
"stand your ground" law. Under Castle Doctrine, you typically have to be
inside your "castle" (house) and warding off someone who broke or forced
their way in.

Walking down the street of your subdivision, challenging a kid you don't
like, chasing after him, getting into a fight and then shooting him is
likely to get you convicted of a serious felony in Maryland.

In Florida, a violent felony means minding your own business while
walking to the house where your dad is staying, armed with a soft drink
and a bag of candy. In those circumstances, a self-appointed vigilante
can confront you, get into a fight and then shoot you.

Still apples and oranges. Although Zimmerman followed Martin till the
cops told him to stop. All the evidence so far leads to the conclusion
Martin initiated the contact, and started the fight.. So all this other
**** doesn't matter, at the time of the shooting, Zimmerman was

The law is not stupid. The absolute lack of common sense in America
is. So is the fact that the richest Americans have, since
Eisenhower,
gradually bought more and more of the government until today,
they own
it.

A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.

The police are not available to protect you. They are available to
document the crimes you have committed or that have been committed
against you.

Yeah, the stand your ground law lets you kill innocent children,
that's
great huh?

No, the stand your ground law is being mis-applied in this case.
Zimmerman drew the line in the sand to stand his ground, but when HE
crossed that line, that action made that law inapplicable.

Apparently, Florida is common sense challenged.

Well true, but I said nothing about Zimmerman.

Then, if you aren't referring to Zimmerman, you are totally wrong.
Then your statement, "Yeah, the stand your ground law lets you kill
innocent children, that's great huh?" is totally false.


If Zimmerman walks, it'll be totally true.

Guess you are the only one left who hasn't figured out this isn't your
meal ticket, virtually all of Zimmermans story has been backed up by the
evidence AND witness initial testimony... Why do you think the rest of
the race baiters in Congress and the Media have left poor Treyvon Martin
behind? Come on harry, try to keep up...

Zimmerman opened the door for this confrontation. He rightfully
deserves a hefty portion of the criminal responsibility. Not all,
certainly, but a hefty portion as determined by the courts.


The homeowner who hears a commotion outside and who then goes outside
and finds someone trying to kill a person. The someone doing the killing
turns on the homeowner and lunges at him with a bloody knife and the
homeowner kills the guy with his gun. Did the homeowner initiate the
confrontation and should the homeowner be bear responsibility for a
hefty portion of the criminal responsibility of killing the killer?


Apples and Oranges. Now, you are talking (1) castle doctrine and (2) a
felonious act being committed.


I said nothing about the castle doctrine. I was addressing the issue of
Zimmerman exiting his vehicle with a person walking out of his house
after hearing a commotion.

You are the one who put the castle doctrine into plan in this scenario.

I was talking about the hefty portion of the criminal responsibility.


The problem with the FL law is that the judgment of good shooting or
not is made solely by a judge, a single man. That decision should be
made by 12.


Tell that to the guy in Philly.


He probably already knows that. The Castle Doctrine Act there requires
the "good shooting" decision to be made by the DA.


The judge found him guilty, not a jury.

There is no single law in the United States that covers the so-called
"Castle Doctrine." Instead, we have the usual state-by-state patchwork
of laws pertaining to that and to what you can do if you are a victim of
a home invader.

Castle Doctrine laws, however, typically aren't like Florida's idiotic
"stand your ground" law. Under Castle Doctrine, you typically have to be
inside your "castle" (house) and warding off someone who broke or forced
their way in.

Walking down the street of your subdivision, challenging a kid you don't
like, chasing after him, getting into a fight and then shooting him is
likely to get you convicted of a serious felony in Maryland.

Mister writer guy, you made a couple of mistakes. Make it Challenging a
young man you don't recognize. How about monitoring his movements
because you are suspicious of him. It appears from all accounts that
Treevon was the fighter and Zimmerman was defending himself against the
attacker, Treevon. Zimmerman will likely walk.

In Florida, a violent felony means minding your own business while
walking to the house where your dad is staying, armed with a soft drink
and a bag of candy. In those circumstances, a self-appointed vigilante
can confront you, get into a fight and then shoot you.

Viva la Florida.


What! Treevon's dad didn't even live at the complex? So Treevon was
visiting a visitor to the complex? No wonder Zimmerman asked what
Treevon was doing there. I can only imagine what kind of punkish
response Treevon gave.

Common sense would suggest that the law would specifically pertain to

at the moment he pulled the trigger, Zimmerman was in a life threatening

Doubt it. Show us one instance where you imagined he made that
implication. You got some crazy ideas floating around in that swelled
head of yours.


Harry has an itchy trigger finger. I wouldn't be surprised if he walks
around the house with a hog leg strapped to his side.


Makes you wonder how an obviously insane person like him can legally get
his hands on firearms. Something has to be wrong with the system.


Do you really believe he has firearms?? LOL!!!

See the difference?

At least in Florida, not sure about other places, you are allowed to
use deadly force to prevent the commission of a violent felony, even
if requires pursuit. That is not "stand your ground" law however.


Still apples and oranges. Although Zimmerman followed Martin till the
cops told him to stop. All the evidence so far leads to the conclusion
Martin initiated the contact, and started the fight.. So all this other
**** doesn't matter, at the time of the shooting, Zimmerman was
"standing his ground"... Period...


Not quite correct. At the time of the shooting, Treevon was sitting on
top of the prone Zimmerman beating the **** out of him. Pardon my
French. That looks more like self defense than stand your ground.


The fact is according to all the evidence we have available, Zimmerman
had NO egress and his life was being threatened at at the time.



JustSnot has seen the videotape that no one else has.

There are a lot of very murky legal issues tangled up in this case.
I don't think it's a slam dunk for either side.


Common sense would suggest that the law would specifically pertain to
the moment the trigger was pulled. Based on the evidence we have so far,
at the moment he pulled the trigger, Zimmerman was in a life threatening
position with no egress as he was pinned to the ground and getting a
"MMA style beating according to the eye witness account...


At the same time, watching or even following someone is not a life
threatening event so it would stand to reason Martin had no legal reason
to jump on Zimmerman and try to kill him... It's really too bad half the
country can't get far enough around their own ideology and bias to see
that this was a terrible event, but Martin could have avoided it as well
as Zimmerman by not jumping on Zimmerman and trying to kill him...
Unfortunately the racists here, in congress, and in the media can't see
this because of nothing matters to them but inventing a racial aspect in
an election year....


Hilarious, just hilarious. You barely finished high school, you've never
even held a responsible job, and you're pontificating on legal matters.
What's next, your take on ion drive for spaceships?


Well, he is a bona fida space cadet.
