QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 10:23 AM) You know what's sad about Zimmerman? He thinks that he'll be able to live a normal life after the media circus. Even him saving a family won't absolve him of taint that covers him. He should just get the heck out of America and start over in some other country. yea right. in 2 years the media will be in mania mode over some other 'racist' sensationalist story. Zim will be totally forgotten. the dips*** class will have totally forgotten about him.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 07:53 PM) There are a Couple reports out suggesting that Zimmeman's auto rescue story isn't legit, that he only showed up after the responding officer, a friend of his, called him and said e should come out for the positive press. from the article: no it's not strange. they probably told people not to mention it so they don't starting get death threats/people trying to actually kill them for being associated with George Zimmerman.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 08:24 PM) if I can afford it would it be a better idea to quit my job now and search fulltime or keep my current job because having a current job seemingly just looks a lot better. definitely keep your current job while you look for a new one.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 02:52 PM) Michigan courts order the bankruptcy filing withdrawn because it's against Michigan's constitution. Next stop feds? if the bankruptcy is denied, but they literally have NO money, how will they pay the pensions? Try to get a loan? Sell junk bonds? I don't see how it would end. Anyone know?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 10:57 AM) HOWEVA, it is true that the media used/keeps using those pictures of Martin when he was 12 years old. Easier to sell the "little boy eating skittles gets killed by a racist vigilante with a gun" storyline. when I first heard the whole thing reported on CNN, they kept saying "Little baby Trayvon was shot". I kept wondering why a baby was crawling around outside by himself at night? And why would someone shoot said baby? It was a very confusing story at first.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jul 19, 2013 -> 02:19 PM) Sigh, and then she turns crazy: http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2013/07/19/sta...mL7mNSCR8.email That's right, i'm not saying the CPD are killing those black kids. But i'm also not NOT saying they're killing those black kids. it all makes perfect sense now. also, can anyone disprove that George Zimmerman is not in the city as well? possibly the source of these crimes?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 18, 2013 -> 07:50 AM) Freedom of speech doesn't end here. It also includes being able to be offended and rant about something. they can't understand that part. they think free speech means you are free to say things they agree with. anything else is dangerous and should be forbidden.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 16, 2013 -> 12:58 PM) Hispanic is not technically a race anyway. Since there were indigenous people in those countries just like here they have Indians, and they have straight-up white people who descended from Europeans, they had African slaves just like here, and they have everything in between. I don't even get the controversy to point out that someone has light skin. Anyway Zimmerman's race is irrelevant to almost every point I made in here so far except for that he isn't black (which would change the whole calculus of how everything played out from the start). No controversy, I am just correcting u. Dude isn't white. Deal.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 16, 2013 -> 07:14 AM) "He's fair-skinned, so he's socially perceived as white" is probably pretty accurate. Just as Obama is mixed-race but would be perceived in our society as black. The dude looks totally "Hispanic". Definitely not "white". Not that it should matter. But u guys seem obsessed over his supposed "whiteness"

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 15, 2013 -> 07:33 PM) George Zimmerman being worried about vigilantes is like Derrick Rose questioning why it's taking someone so long to come back from an injury. haha. good one.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 15, 2013 -> 03:30 PM) http://gma.yahoo.com/george-zimmerman-gun-...topstories.html Im pretty sure the bravado is starting to get to them, insinuating you are going to hold people responsible? He has to sue NBC.

the prosecution was overzealous with the 2nd degree murder charge. they should have gone with manslaughter and proved that out IMO

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 13, 2013 -> 09:22 AM) he's not in jail... ah i see

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 08:08 PM) News says he put on 110 since the shooting. i noticed that and wonder how much do they feed prisoners in Florida. what the hell, is he eating ice cream and donuts all day in jail?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 01:05 PM) He's not f***ed. He's already raised hundreds of thousands of dollars from people who believe he's a hero. that might all be gone if a civil suit is filed against him.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 12:16 PM) Id semi-agree, the problem I have with 1 is that Martin was absolutely aware that Zimmerman was following him. So to me that indicates it was not "reasonable" because it was close enough that someone noticed and changed their actions due to the following. The only way I can really justify "self-defense" is if there was some evidence that Martin was out that night looking for trouble. Because even just "hiding to ambush" could merely be Martin trying to "self defend". And that is ultimately the problem, can 2 people both be using "self-defense" at the same time, to therefore make it impossible for either party to be charged with the crime? My answer would be no. I would actually think that if both parties are "defending" that means neither party really is, and thus both should be able to be convicted. Since Martin is dead we cant punish him, but if this had gone different (martin just being wounded), I would have absolutely been fine with both Martin and Zimmerman facing battery charges. the double self-defense aspect of the case is pretty interesting.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 12:07 PM) crazy-ass douchbag that thinks he is gonna up his street cred by taking care of this crazy-ass cracker possible. Martin did like to boast about how he was a crime committing gangster. his beat down of George Zimmerman would certainly increase his gangster persona.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 12:03 PM) My impression is that Zimmerman shouldnt have started it, so he deserves some sort of punishment. it really boils down to what exactly was it that Zimmerman did to start the altercation. IF 1) Zimmerman was following from a reasonable distance 2) Martin ducked around a corner to hide in some bushes to ambush Zimmerman 3) then Zimmerman went to investigate where Martin went 4) then Martin attacked Zimmerman and is totally kicking his ass 5) Zimmerman shoots Martin in this scenario Zimmerman is not-guilty

overall George Zimmerman is a ridiculous person. I would find his story very amusing if not for the killing part.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 11:33 AM) Once again, I do not believe following innocent people around with guns and acting in aggressive fashion is "reasonable". agreed. it isn't a reasonable thing to do. especially if he was following as closely as i believe he was.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 11:24 AM) "Did he ever get to the point where he could box somebody else?" asked defense attorney O'Mara. "Absolutely not," said Pollack lol

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 27, 2013 -> 04:15 PM) He later changed his mind. what a flip flopper!

i think George Zimmerman is gonna get convicted of manslaughter.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 2, 2013 -> 07:38 PM) with Manny coming in a close second. hahaha i forgot about that one
