Mass Media Confusion
Although I agree with those who say we don't need "Stand Your Ground"
statutes outside of your home, I don't understand the media attention and activist groups (led by people like Al Sharpton) who are using the Zimmerman trial to promote the elimination of SYG. Zimmerman's defense was *not* based on SYG grounds. It was based on self-defense. This was a purposeful and strategic decision by his defense attorneys. The reason he was acquitted by the jury was due to the stupidity of the state's prosecution team of attorneys. *They* are the ones that put into evidence all of Zimmerman's accounts of the events, thereby allowing de facto testimony by Zimmerman without the ability to cross examine him. The defense attorneys made good use of this blunder by calling other witnesses to testify that gave credence to Zimmerman's account of the events, raising sufficient reasonable doubt to generate a "not guilty" verdict. Typical of any unpopular decision or circumstance (to them) , the liberal media and activist groups are totally misinforming the public on the facts. |

Typical of any unpopular decision or circumstance (to them) , the liberal media and activist groups are totally misinforming the public on the facts. The strange thing is black defendants have availed themselves of SYG defenses at a higher rate than white people. Holder, Sharpton and the rest seem to be ignorant of or simply ignore that fact. My guess is that "Holder, Sharpton and the rest" believe the Stand Your Ground laws suck, no matter who is availing themselves of them. They seem to be little more than laws that allow you to settle disputes on the street with a gun. "He slapped me, I was scared, so I shot him." The SYG laws encourage bad behavior on the part of gunslingers. How many times would your head have to be pounded into the concrete before you thought you were in fear of your life? You armed yourself and were prepared to shoot someone over an ambiguous internet post. I'm in my late 60's. I've been in some really ****ty places, here and abroad, and sometimes among people that would make most posters here crap in their pants. What I don't do is follow people around, force confrontations with them, and then shoot them if they smack me. So, I've managed to avoid fistfights since I was about 14 years old. I'm not scared when I walk down the streets in, say, Anacostia, and see black teen-agers coming my way. I say "hello," they say "hello." I got lost in DC a few months ago at night and pulled into a convenience store parking lot to ask for directions. There was a really tough crowd in the parking lot, and most of the guys were drinking. Inside the store, the clerks were ensconced behind thick plexiglass. I asked for directions and got help from one of the clerks and one of the customers. We smiled at each other and went on our merry way. I didn't behave like George Zimmerman and I didn't get into a fight. I've been shot at three times, twice while in the United States, and once while in El Salvador, but it was never personal. :) Two of the guys I was working with in El Salvador were shot and killed. I am certainly prepared to shoot and kill a home invader down here. I don't walk the streets of my little neighborhood armed and looking for a fight. |

I would not hesitate to shoot a home invader, especially at night where there is nowhere to run to on the top floor of a three story house. You threatened to commit the crime of home invasion, and you also intimated you would send one of your hoodlum motorcycle gang buddies down here to do the job for you. That particular threat resulted in the police visiting you at your house. A home invasion is, indeed, a reason to shoot someone. Keep that in mind in case your paranoia gives you the false courage to make a road trip in order to create mayhem and commit a violent felony. You're a sick little ****head, psychotic or bordering on it, and you'll never get help until it is too late for you or your victim or both of you. |

I watched and listened to every word of it. First of all, there is no evidence or testimony that supports your statement, "several witnesses who said Zimmerman was the aggressor". The only thing the prosecution could get from Di Maio was an acknowledgement that his testimony was focused on the moments before and including the shooting, not what led up to it. The claims that Zimmerman was the "aggressor" is pure speculation. By "aggressor", I mean pushing, shoving or throwing a punch and not simply asking "What are you doing here?" There's nothing illegal or aggressive about that. |

What was dope? My biggest annoyance was to turn into a block and see the Good Humor man disappearing around the corner at the other end and all the children eating Good Humors. I can't even remember the name of the ice cream company I worked for. My father made me put the truck in the garage so the neaighbprs wouldn't see it. My biggest casualty was when my younger brother helped himself to a popsicle and left the truck ice box door open. That was more than sixty years ago. Anacostia was a totally different place in the 50s and early 60s. In the late 60s it became the combat zone it is today although some parts are probably being gentrified and the criminals are being pushed out into PG county.. My sister went to Anacostia high and lived in the 3300 block of C street SE in the 50s. It was a pretty nice neighborhood in a working class kind of way. I lived right off Benning Road for the first 12 years of my life. We had black people right behind us but they were working class folks just like us. It was the welfare state LBJ created that led to the downfall of that area. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...ng-road-local- satire-at-its-best/2013/04/26/3527b3aa-aea8-11e2-98ef-d1072ed3cc27_blog.html |
