The Official Zimmerman Trial Verdict Thread

[CrazedScotsman]

If you put car batteries on the floor, the ground will drain the power out of them.

Only if the floor is concrete.

Like a garage. That's what I should have said.

Putting on the weight was a genius level strategy if it was intentional.

The trainer is testifying that George took boxing classes...the camera pans to Zimmerman...and a mental image immediately formed.

You are way too close to East Saint Louis for my liking.

A whole lotta crack over there.

East St. Louis [IL] was the most dangerous city in America heading into 2013 based on violent crime statistics.

<Snip>

Odds of falling victim to a violent crime in East St. Louis were a frightening 1 in 17. Odds of falling victim to either a violent crime or a property-related crime were an even more disheartening 1 in 7.

East St. Louis has had that reputation for awhile. Many years ago when Mr. Foxfyre was a rookie adjuster, he was frequently assigned anything between two to eight weeks of storm duty whenever there was large scale damage from hail, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. and he once was sent to Missouri after a severe storm there. Those going into East St. Louis were to be assigned body guards which, of necessity, would be members of the Black Panthers hired for that duty. Needless to say, Mr. Foxfyre was relieved when he had the chance to go to an area in Illinois instead and jumped at it.

Was it a race thing since most of the danger was perceived to be from young blacks? No. The gangs are not dangerous because they are black. The young blacks were dangerous because they ran in the gangs. There is an important distinction between those two things.

Is it important whether Trayvon Martin is black? No. At least it shouldn't be.

My question now is, should Zimmerman still be made to take the stand?

Hellllllllllllllllllll no

 

[CrazedScotsman]

I'm waiting for George to jump up and yell, "OK, WE GET IT!!! IM A GIRLY MAN, DAMN!!! SERIOUSLY, C'MON MAN"

Pollack: "Zimmerman was soft, physically soft, he was an obese fat man, mostly fat, no muscle."

 

[testarosa]

It's a four-fer witness!

Throw the "character" nice guy thing in there too!

 

[TemplarKormac]

State is crossing

 

[testarosa]

Uh-Oh

A$$ is up on this one.

Here comes his a$$ out of his mouth.

 

[Sallow]

ALLEGEDLY he did attack Zimmerman and it was probably self defense in his eyes. He just should used a gun.

The law doesn't specify one has to use a gun, and he wasn't old enough to own one legally.
And if someone was follows me at night the way Zimmerman did I would feel threatened.

Then maybe he should used flight rather than fight reaction, and he could still be alive today.

You're sure of that, how?

Zimmerman said he was going for his cell phone when he was punched.

How do we know he wasn't going for his gun?

Throw the "character" nice guy thing in there too!

He's the gift that keeps on giving.

 

[pioneerpete]

Gym guy really plugging his place!

 

[Mustang]

This thread is very instructive. It's an education.

But it sure isn't helping either Zimmerman's cause or his case any.

 

[Sunshine]

You broke the rules, rabbi...reported.

So now you are making the rules.

Nope...just reading them and then reporting when violated...especially when I am trolled like a child...youre guilty of the same.

As the Old Guard is with you!

 

[Rat in the Hat]

Uh-Oh

A$$ is up on this one.

Here comes his a$$ out of his mouth.

Here it comes...


A$$: Mr Pollock, when you teach grappling, do you teach your students to say "fucking punks"?

 

[RKMBrown]

I wonder if they teach you to pull a gun if your loosing at that gym.

 

[testarosa]

Uh-Oh

A$$ is up on this one.

Here comes his a$$ out of his mouth.

Here it comes...


A$$: Mr Pollock, when you teach grappling, do you teach your students to say "fucking punks"?

You have to say that with a sarcastic snide used car salesman dialect.

 

[Gadawg73]

Zimmerman does not need any help.
The facts confirm his version.
Still not over as I want to hear it all.

 

[R.D.]

A one minute round can seem like an eternity if your not in condition for it...sa-weet
