Corey is alleging he did in the indictment

Well the, why did he get out of the car? AND you're forgetting the phone
conversation Martin was having.

He got out of the car to WATCH the person he called the cops on so he
could point him out when they got there.
Is getting out of your car a crime now? Corey seems to think so.

Bull****, he confronted Martin. His girlfriend heard it. Is looking at a
car a crime now? That's why you seem to think Zimmerman was justified in
killing Martin.

What was the first thing the girlfriend said she heard between them?

Hint, it was Martin addressing Zimmerman.

Martin was shot because he was beating the **** out of Zimmerman. I am
not sure what the law is where you live but aggravated battery is a
forcible felony in Florida and a bystander could have legally shot
Martin if they came up on him beating Zimmerman's head on the
concrete.


Is that what Rush told you to say?


That is what the law says.



I'm betting Zimmerman cops a plea.

Yes, asking Zimmerman what he wanted. If a strange man in the night
comes up to you, are you going to ask him his intentions or just stand
there and wait to see if he's going to rob you, hurt you, kill you, rape
you or whatever?

Martin was shot because he was beating the **** out of Zimmerman. I am
not sure what the law is where you live but aggravated battery is a
forcible felony in Florida and a bystander could have legally shot
Martin if they came up on him beating Zimmerman's head on the
concrete.


Again, if a man attacked me in the middle of the night, I'd do the same
thing. It's called protecting yourself.

Don't get ahead of yourself. Lots happened between the first inquiry and

So? Fact is Zimmerman confronted Martin.



And you know this how? Just because Sharpton told you so?


Because the phone call proves so.

Corey did not even say Zimmerman confronted Martin in her indictment.
There is certainly no credible witness testimony that says it.


She didn't have to.

I wonder what would have happened if Martin's plan to kill Zimmerman had

So you'd pull a Zimmerman on someone that attacked you. It's good to know you've come around.

Zimmerman was on a mission.

And you're on a mission to defend him. You show no balance

Wow, you've convicted Martin of something no one else has. Does that

You all seem pretty quick to convict Zimmerman without that trial you
demanded

I think he's a scumbag but I haven't convicted him. I just hope he
does time for his stupidity. He deserves it for engaging in a foolish
pursuit of someone with whom he had no business nor right.


You are an idiot. In your statements above you have tried and convicted
Zimmerman.



Amazing, isn't it, that someone who served in the military ostensibly to
defend the Constitution gets up on his electronic soapbox and tells
someone he is an "idiot" for merely expressing his opinion. Obviously
the marines don't check recruits for basic intelligence and ability to
understand.



The police dispatcher told him specifically that he "didn't need to do
that" when she realized he was running after Trayvon. His negligent
actions ended up with the death of a 17 year old kid.


The police dispatcher said "Ok, we don't need you to do that." I
challenge you to provide a source for your quote.


When the police say "don't do that," most people of at least average
intelligence "don't do that." I suppose if you were in the military or
if you are really really stupid or both, it's okay to ignore that advice.

Righties...always trying to split hairs to defend their lack of
understanding of issues.


Taking the most liberal interpretation of the dispatcher's
instruction. If she weren't being polite, it would have sounded
different.

I would venture a guess that this episode is a learning opportunity
for all dispatchers to be more clear in their instructions and not
leave room for vigilante interpretation.

If you asked the dispatcher today if she'd opt for different language
in her instructions to Zimmerman, I'd bet a lot of money on her
answering "yes."

Language has meaning. If she had a reason, or the legal ground, to say "Do not follow him", she would have been trained to do just that. After all, supposedly the dispatchers and police departments knew him very well, right?

The thing is, it wasn't in the middle of the night. There is no evidence
that Zimmerman did nothing more than ask the kid who he was and what he
was doing on the property. What would be your reasonable "defense" to
that action?
Apparently the kid's response and his suspicious activity involving
parked cars led Zimmerman to ask the police to come and check the kid
out. What would be your reasonable "defense" to that action? Zimmerman
decided to keep an ey on the kid from a distance till the police
arrived. What would be your reasonable "defense" to that action"
It seems that, at this point, a game of hide and seek started. Here is
where it starts to get really interesting. Do you want to finish the story?

Yes, asking Zimmerman what he wanted. If a strange man in the night
comes up to you, are you going to ask him his intentions or just stand
there and wait to see if he's going to rob you, hurt you, kill you, rape
you or whatever?

Again, if a man attacked me in the middle of the night, I'd do the same
thing. It's called protecting yourself.

So you'd pull a Zimmerman on someone that attacked you. It's good to know you've come around.


Come around? I've said that from the very beginning that if someone
approached me in the middle of the night like Zimmerman did to Martin,
I'd have defended myself just like Martin presumably did.


The thing is, it wasn't in the middle of the night.


Yes it was.

There is no evidence
that Zimmerman did nothing more than ask the kid who he was and what he
was doing on the property. What would be your reasonable "defense" to
that action?


I'd tell him it's none of his ****ing business. BUT the fact is, as the
girlfriend stated, Zimmerman pushed Martin hard enough that his phone
headset fell.

Apparently the kid's response and his suspicious activity involving
parked cars led Zimmerman to ask the police to come and check the kid
out. What would be your reasonable "defense" to that action? Zimmerman
decided to keep an ey on the kid from a distance till the police
arrived. What would be your reasonable "defense" to that action"
It seems that, at this point, a game of hide and seek started. Here is
where it starts to get really interesting. Do you want to finish the story?


He didn't keep an eye on him "from a distance" he went up to Martin and
started messing with him, it's very clear from the phone call.

What's very clear is that Martin attacked Zimmerman for asking him a question. Martin initiated the violence. So if you asked someone a question and they started pounding your head into the pavement, you'd just let them, huh?

And there you go, now we agree that Zimmerman had no instruction not to follow Martin from anyone who has any authority.

And BTW, police dispatchers are highly trained. More so than you.

concrete.


Is that what Rush told you to say?

That is what the law says.



I'm betting Zimmerman cops a plea.


If he does, O'Mara is not earning his money. This is a very weak case
brought for purely political reasons. All he needs to do is stand on
the law and he walks. That is why they are stalling. Once the
elections are over and the news cycle moves on to more pressing things
(like the punk in Colorado) this thing will just go away. I still
doubt it even survives the immunity hearing.


No one is stalling. At Zimmerman's first bail hearing, the defense
waived the right to a speedy trial because he wouldn't be spending his
time on his butt in a cell. Zimmerman has shown himself to be a liar.
The immunity hearing will be interesting. When is it?

Floridians should be ashamed of themselves for allowing a law that
permits a hothead like Zimmerman to pick a fight, shoot and kill the guy
he attacked, and then being able to "stand his ground." It's far too
easy a law to abuse. But, then, it's Florida, and you boys don't mind
electing a felon as your governor.

Then you would go to jail. "Self defense" is one shove or punch. The
second punch is battery if you can not demonstrate that the danger was
not mitigated.
I know a guy who did 7 years in a Maryland prison for killing an
intruder IN HIS HOUSE with one punch so that is not even always a
defense. They said he should have run away and called the police.

Show any evidence to the contrary.
It is the prosecution that has to prove their case.
Zimmerman has a presumption of innocence.
Without absolute proof from the state that Zimmerman's story is not
true, we are left with Zimmerman's story.
That is why Angie is trying to make the case that he got out of his
truck with the intent of shooting Martin and nothing else that
happened was important. It is all she has.
That is going to be a tough case to make and I doubt Scott really
expected a win, his knee was just jerking like everyone elses to "do
something"



Zimmerman has no credibility. The act of shooting an *unarmed man* on
the street, as opposed to a burglar breaking into your house, should be
enough for at least a manslaughter conviction. Martin was under no
obligation to respond to Zimmerman's demands. Under similar
circumstances, I would have told Zimmerman to **** off. Were Zimmerman,
however, in the uniform of a sworn policeman, I would have responded in
a polite manner.

You live in a crazy state.

He didn't keep an eye on him "from a distance" he went up to Martin and
started messing with him, it's very clear from the phone call.


What's very clear is that Martin attacked Zimmerman for asking him a question. Martin initiated the violence. So if you asked someone a question and they started pounding your head into the pavement, you'd just let them, huh?


Please show the evidence that it's very clear that Martin attacked
Zimmerman first.


Taint no evedence that Zimmerman accosted or attacked the kid atol.

Yes, asking Zimmerman what he wanted. If a strange man in the night
comes up to you, are you going to ask him his intentions or just stand
there and wait to see if he's going to rob you, hurt you, kill you, rape
you or whatever?

Again, if a man attacked me in the middle of the night, I'd do the same
thing. It's called protecting yourself.

So you'd pull a Zimmerman on someone that attacked you. It's good to know you've come around.

Come around? I've said that from the very beginning that if someone
approached me in the middle of the night like Zimmerman did to Martin,
I'd have defended myself just like Martin presumably did.


The thing is, it wasn't in the middle of the night.


Yes it was.

There is no evidence
that Zimmerman did nothing more than ask the kid who he was and what he
was doing on the property. What would be your reasonable "defense" to
that action?


I'd tell him it's none of his ****ing business. BUT the fact is, as the
girlfriend stated, Zimmerman pushed Martin hard enough that his phone
headset fell.



You know that how?
The girlfriend never said that. She just said the call dropped. It
could have just as likely have been that when Martin punched Zimmerman
in the nose that he dropped his phone.

Apparently the kid's response and his suspicious activity involving
parked cars led Zimmerman to ask the police to come and check the kid
out. What would be your reasonable "defense" to that action? Zimmerman
decided to keep an ey on the kid from a distance till the police
arrived. What would be your reasonable "defense" to that action"
It seems that, at this point, a game of hide and seek started. Here is
where it starts to get really interesting. Do you want to finish the story?


He didn't keep an eye on him "from a distance" he went up to Martin and

You made that up. Otherwise cite it.,


It's all Zimmermans fault. He smashed the kids hand with his face.

You are making up a scenario in your mind that has never been
suggested by any witness or by the physical evidence,.

Zimmerman says Martin approached him and there is nobody or nothing to
dispute it. Zimmerman is the one with the presumption of innocence and
the state has to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that his story is
not true.


That there is no one pre trial doesn't make it true. And yes, there is
evidence that he approached Martin. The phone call.

No one is stalling. At Zimmerman's first bail hearing, the defense
waived the right to a speedy trial because he wouldn't be spending his
time on his butt in a cell. Zimmerman has shown himself to be a liar.
The immunity hearing will be interesting. When is it?


Again Z is out on bail, that he paid handsomely for. He is in no
hurry.
Once the media frenzy dies down and he can get a fair trial, he will
go for one.
I suspect that. by now, O'Mara's detectives have quite a dossier about
the "angel" Travonn Martin. I wonder how many unsolved burglaries got
thrown in his coffin by the N. Miami police before they buried him. We
still have not even heard about the disposition of the presumed stolen
jewelry Travonn had at school. His family never said it was theirs.
The police are under a gag order right now and at least one cop was
disciplined for a leak.

Floridians should be ashamed of themselves for allowing a law that
permits a hothead like Zimmerman to pick a fight, shoot and kill the guy
he attacked, and then being able to "stand his ground." It's far too
easy a law to abuse.


You and "Ineverboat" seem to be assuming Zimmerman picked the fight
with absolutely no evidence so far that it is true. When you start
with a scenario that is not true, it is easy to jump to the wrong
conclusion.


Then why did Zimmerman get out of his car? By the way, he's given two
different answers to that already.

Then you would go to jail. "Self defense" is one shove or punch. The
second punch is battery if you can not demonstrate that the danger was
not mitigated.
I know a guy who did 7 years in a Maryland prison for killing an
intruder IN HIS HOUSE with one punch so that is not even always a
defense. They said he should have run away and called the police.


Martin did try to leave, that's in the phone call.

Yes, asking Zimmerman what he wanted. If a strange man in the night
comes up to you, are you going to ask him his intentions or just stand
there and wait to see if he's going to rob you, hurt you, kill you, rape
you or whatever?

Yes it was.

There is no evidence

I'd tell him it's none of his ****ing business. BUT the fact is, as the

Show any evidence to the contrary.
It is the prosecution that has to prove their case.
Zimmerman has a presumption of innocence.
Without absolute proof from the state that Zimmerman's story is not
true, we are left with Zimmerman's story.
That is why Angie is trying to make the case that he got out of his
truck with the intent of shooting Martin and nothing else that
happened was important. It is all she has.
That is going to be a tough case to make and I doubt Scott really

Show any evidence to the contrary.
It is the prosecution that has to prove their case.
Zimmerman has a presumption of innocence.
Without absolute proof from the state that Zimmerman's story is not
true, we are left with Zimmerman's story.
That is why Angie is trying to make the case that he got out of his
truck with the intent of shooting Martin and nothing else that
happened was important. It is all she has.
That is going to be a tough case to make and I doubt Scott really
expected a win, his knee was just jerking like everyone elses to "do
something"



Zimmerman has no credibility. The act of shooting an *unarmed man* on
the street, as opposed to a burglar breaking into your house, should be
enough for at least a manslaughter conviction. Martin was under no
obligation to respond to Zimmerman's demands. Under similar
circumstances, I would have told Zimmerman to **** off. Were Zimmerman,
however, in the uniform of a sworn policeman, I would have responded in
a polite manner.

You live in a crazy state.



You still assume Martin did not approach Zimmerman and punch him in
the nose in answer to "what are you doing here"?

Would you do that?

You would automatically open up with fighting words when you were a
visitor on private property?


Yes, when some stranger was approaching me in the dark.

Yes it was.

I'd tell him it's none of his ****ing business. BUT the fact is, as the
girlfriend stated, Zimmerman pushed Martin hard enough that his phone
headset fell.

He didn't keep an eye on him "from a distance" he went up to Martin and
started messing with him, it's very clear from the phone call.

What's very clear is that Martin attacked Zimmerman for asking him a question. Martin initiated the violence. So if you asked someone a question and they started pounding your head into the pavement, you'd just let them, huh?


Please show the evidence that it's very clear that Martin attacked
Zimmerman first.


Taint no evedence that Zimmerman accosted or attacked the kid atol.


Sure there is, Martin's dead body.

Martin was shot because he was beating the **** out of Zimmerman. I am
not sure what the law is where you live but aggravated battery is a
forcible felony in Florida and a bystander could have legally shot
Martin if they came up on him beating Zimmerman's head on the
concrete.


Is that what Rush told you to say?

That is what the law says.



I'm betting Zimmerman cops a plea.

If he does, O'Mara is not earning his money. This is a very weak case
brought for purely political reasons. All he needs to do is stand on
the law and he walks. That is why they are stalling. Once the
elections are over and the news cycle moves on to more pressing things
(like the punk in Colorado) this thing will just go away. I still
doubt it even survives the immunity hearing.


No one is stalling. At Zimmerman's first bail hearing, the defense
waived the right to a speedy trial because he wouldn't be spending his
time on his butt in a cell. Zimmerman has shown himself to be a liar.
The immunity hearing will be interesting. When is it?


Again Z is out on bail, that he paid handsomely for. He is in no
hurry.
Once the media frenzy dies down and he can get a fair trial, he will
go for one.
I suspect that. by now, O'Mara's detectives have quite a dossier about
the "angel" Travonn Martin. I wonder how many unsolved burglaries got
thrown in his coffin by the N. Miami police before they buried him. We
still have not even heard about the disposition of the presumed stolen
jewelry Travonn had at school. His family never said it was theirs.
The police are under a gag order right now and at least one cop was
disciplined for a leak.

Floridians should be ashamed of themselves for allowing a law that
permits a hothead like Zimmerman to pick a fight, shoot and kill the guy
he attacked, and then being able to "stand his ground." It's far too
easy a law to abuse.


You and "Ineverboat" seem to be assuming Zimmerman picked the fight
with absolutely no evidence so far that it is true. When you start
with a scenario that is not true, it is easy to jump to the wrong
conclusion.



Zimmerman is a known hothead with a reputation for exploding and now, a
known liar. There's no reason to give credence to anything he says or
claims.

Maybe after all the investigating is done Martin will get a long jail
sentence posthumously. Zimmerman might even be a hero.
