Bull****, she was a dispatcher not a lawyer or a police officer.


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


No, we don't. Where did I ever say she didn't have any authority?

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


Oh, really? What is there undergrad and grad degrees in?

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.


Those days are over. Probably the only reason PsychoScotty hasn't driven
down here and attempted home invasion.

Zimmerman first.


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.

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

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

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

That doesn't sound like
"stand down" to me. It sounds a lot more like "our lawyers say, we
can't tell you to do it".


Well then they might find themselves being sued by the parents of
Trayvon for not calling off a lunatic with no training.

And justifiably so if you're right.

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
started messing with him, it's very clear from the phone call.


You made that up. Otherwise cite it.,


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

about Zimmerman's assault of Martin?


What assault? Nobody ever saw Zimmerman assault martin and martin
showed no signs of an assault. He had bloody fists from hitting
Zimmerman but no signs he was ever hit.


That beast Zimmerman asked him a question he didn't want to answer...

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.
