Trayvon Martin's parents settle for $1M or more

"has to be sacrificed for civil peace"

They do it that way in Iran and North Korea.
Delta is ready when you are.

That's the way we do it in this country, too. Don't be naive. Ask the cops who beat Rodney King.

This guy isn't worth the race riots that are going to happen if he's acquitted.

After the cops that beat King were acquitted what did the rioters do?
Instead of going up to Beverly Hills and burn down the community there they burned down their own neighborhood and looted their own stores where they lived.
I vividly remember the Koreans in Atlanta with shotguns and rifles guarding their stores on Ashby St. in west end over by the Atlanta University complex west of the Georgia Dome.
No one burned any of their stores and no one came close to them.
Same will happen if Zimmerman is acquitted.
But you are the one naive and gullible Joe.
NO WAY Zimmerman is acquitted. He will be found guilty of some form of manslaughter.
How many of your union friends will be rioting if he is acquitted and how much are you selling tickets for?

not only rifles but ar-15 and ak-47s with large magazines

like the ones the left wants to ban today

under the guise of "who needs them"

the Korean shop owners surely did

So is that the real rationale for owning assault rifles designed to kill lots of people at once?

So whites (or Koreans) can shoot black rioters when they start up again?

No, to protect their property.
They did not have to shoot anyone. Weapons and armed citizens ARE something rioters and thugs UNDERSTAND.

Who gives a f**k about prisoner welfare. They criminals who deserve little to nothing and should be happy to have two hots and a cot. Prison should be as uncomfortable and unpleasant as possible so they won't want to come back.

I don't think anyone wants to come back, dumbass.

The problem is, we lock up too many people for things they shouldn't be locked up for because big corporations have found ways to make money off it while you.. the taxpayer... end up footing the bill.

Germany only locks up 78,000 of their citizens. Japan only locks up 69,000. While Japanese prisons are pretty brutal, they also put an emphasis on real rehabilitation. (German prisons, by comparison, are quite humane.)

We lock up 2 million people and we have another 7 million on probation or parole, effectively rendering them unemployable. The social cost of this is staggering, but the same people who would begrudge a poor child health insurace once he's out of Fetus Form, have no problem with this big chunk of Corporate Welfare.

Why in hell don't you move to Germany or Japan, then. Why continue to suffer so miserably here when there are places that fulfill your Utopian dreams?

If rioters (regardless of race, religion, gender, etc) were to attempt to loot and destroy another's lawful property, the owner of that property certainly has the right to defend his property, and his life, against the law-breakers.

Travyon Martin's parents settle wrongful death claim

Published April 05, 2013
FoxNews.com

Trayvon Martin's parents have settled a wrongful death claim for an amount believed to be more than $1 million against a Florida homeowners association where their teen son was killed, Fox News confirms.

Trayvon was shot and killed by Neighborhood Watch volunteer George Zimmerman in Sanford, Fla., on Feb. 26, 2012.

Zimmerman says he fired in self defense after the 17-year-old attacked him.

In paperwork made public, both parties specified that they would keep the settlement amount confidential, The Orlando Sentinel reported.

Zimmerman’s attorney Mark O’Mara said the teen’s parents tried to settle through mediation and the association had offered $1 million, but they had reportedly rejected this amount, OrlandoSentinel.com reported.

“It is understood and agreed that the payment made herein is not to be construed as an admission of any liability by or on behalf of the releasing parties; but instead the monies being paid hereunder is consideration for avoiding litigation, the uncertainties stemming from litigation as well as to protect and secure the good name and good will of the released parties,” the settlement said.

Very odd to have a civil settlement before the criminal case is completed. This leads me to think that the Trayvon Martins realize there is no case against Zimmerman.

Or that the homeowners association wants to set the figure while Zimmerman still has the presumption of innocence....

There is not an attorney in the country that would recommend settling in this civil thing, not for a million anyway, if they thought that there was a good case on Zimmerman.

 

[numan]

Come on, you can try to spin it all day, Zimmerman screwed up. He created a situation and a black kid died.

And now he needs to be sacrificed for civil peace.

I have no problem with that. It wasn't like he was going to cure cancer or something.

I do like to read the comments of someone who is both a realist and honest.

It makes such a refreshing change from the delusion and hypocrisy of so many people here.

Don't be naive....

This guy isn't worth the race riots that are going to happen if he's acquitted.

Some people think it would be good if people who are as stupid as Zimmerman were weeded out of the human race.

Of course, very likely it was not genetic defects that made him as dopey as he is. It might have been environmental factors, like his mother drinking alcohol when she was pregnant, or his growing up in such a toxic environment as the United States.

In the United States, with a gun.

But not in those countries which might be regarded as civilized.

I hope you do not count yourself as being civilized

I have often fantasized about genetically engineering a disease that would not be fatal, but which would sterilize 99% of the human population. If I were younger, I would be tempted to go into genetic engineering.

 

[Dragonlady]

Oh, and just how do people in civilized countries defend themselves against criminals?

In civilized countries, you cannot shoot someone in defence of your property, only in defence of your own life. Property can be insured/replaced, lives cannot, and that includes the life of those who are looting.

Civilized societies value life, not property.

Civilized societies value life, not property.

A civilized society is not one that only allows you to be slowly robbed by insurance & security companies or swiftly by thieves. That is social corruption.

Shooting someone who is stealing your property is a personal choice. That simple deterrent is what creates polite civilized society.

The only property that can be taken is food for immediate personal consumption as laid out in gleaner law. Stealing for profit can be combated with lethal force if necessary to stop it.

It does not surprise me to see that you are Canadian !!

You condemn me (or pretend to) for a transient fantasy used only to express irony -- but gun-toting, violent savages like you and Zimmerman, not only fantasize, but act on your fantasies, turning the United States into a slaughter-house and hacking away at the foundations of American society and at the foundations of civilization itself!!

I regard such television-crazed, violence-prone sociopaths, who treat guns and violence as a joke, to be the worst traitors to America who have ever darkened the pages of its history.

Do you think there is more to made from the homeowners association?

A huge judgment doesn't mean a huge payout. You can't squeeze blood from a turnip. A million is a lot more than a group like this would settle for if they thought they stood a chance. We're talking a homeowners association. They collect money from all the homeowners in order to maintain green space. Not exactly a corporate giant.

If I were an innocent man as George "The Killer" Zimmerman is claiming to be, I'd NEVER entertain a pay-off...NEVER!!!

I smell guilt.

Without us to protect your pathetic ass you would be next after Zimmerman for them to weed out.

Zimmerman has no say if an insurance company decides to pay any amount of $$$ on a tort liability case such as this.
Unless O'Mara was trying to get Zimmerman a waiver of future liability as part of the deal.
But that has nothing to do with this policy and the HOA as the defendant.

If you get into an auto accident and it is your fault you have NO SAY whatsoever to stop your insurance company from paying whatever amount of money up to the policy limits to settle the case.

Zimmerman had no say in this no matter what any article states.
Par for the course in this. No one uncerstands the law yet takes as fact any and all articles if it matches their ideology.
That is why posting links in support of anyone's opinion is JOKE.
Additionally, in a civil and criminal case ALL ATTEMPTS AND OFFERS OF SETTLEMENT are not an admission of guilt in any way.
