That's correct. Read Alan Keyes, "Masters of the Dream," about how the leading dem pols and the leading Black activists of the day, the Sharpton, Jacksons, etc. have trapped the vast majority into a plantation mentality as rigid and locking emotionally and mentally as slavery ever was, albeit it without the out right ownership and physical abuse.

But make no mistake, they "own" them and they "abuse" them financially, emotionally, politically, and financially all the day long and then turn around each election and "buy" their vote with the promise of more handouts.

It's sickening...and anyone who dares get off the plantation, like, say, Clarence Thomas, or so many others...Herman Cain...are lynched by their supposed benefactors (their plantation owners and task masters) in the public eye, financially, morally, charachter assassination, lies, genned up sex scandals, etc. for having the audacity to try and actually achieve the American dream on their own.

The whole thing is disugsting and demeaning to them and I pray the light of truth some day breaks through and the minorities in general and the blacks specifically throw off their oppressors.

THE MAN WHO DESPISES AMERICA

According to this report, there is only a 1 minute gap in the police time line.

Initially I cannot throw rocks at this guy, but he does illustrate the fact that the media and race pimps are dog-piling on this because of the newsworthy nature of the story...

The friend has his moments where he doesn’t totally get what is going on, but for the most part he hits some very good points...

If I was a friend of a guy like Zimmerman, I would have told him, yep, you screwed up, but I’m still your friend...

Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson Jr., The new black panthers can all go to hell in a handbasket as far as I am concerned...

Zimmerman will have to deal with his decision for the rest of his life, and that is something a lot of people who do carry a firearm for defensive purposes do not consider when you pull that trigger in that capacity...

It has never been a license to kill, and anyone who does not agree with that, well, stay away from me...

It is a license that ths state gives you, and dispite the Constitutionality of these programs, the States must be respected in governing them as they see fit...The people in those states are free to comply and carry, or do so under some risk for doing it without...I’m not arguing an already well discussed issue, and I obey the laws of this state (and learn about the others so I can carry under reciprocity agreements) to carry a firearm for lawful self-defensive purposes...

One of the things I do stress to folks I know, is that the responsibility of carrying a firearm under these provisions is obvious...What some people miss, is that you absolutely must be accountable for your actions...There is no substituting that aspect...

Zimmerman is living that right now...Right or wrong, justified or not, I believe he acted above and beyond the provisions of the state, and he should be reprimanded for it...

A CCW is not a license or commission to enforce the laws of a state...You do not call yourself a nieghborhood watch captain, and go out looking for trouble, much less follow potential trouoble and believe your gun you carry is going to be the ace in the hole card you can play...

I believe legally, he (Zimmerman) could be easily be determined to have acted outside of the laws, because a “stand your ground” provision does not say you can go out looking for trouble, and when you do find it, you can shoot it...

The bad part it it cost someone a life...Put yourself even in the most optimal position, and say you have just taken a life???

In most cases, I would probably feel pretty good about it because trouble would have to find me, my friends or family, I can deal with that rather easily...But once you go out thinking you are something you are not, and you do the same thing in response to that threat...I would not want to be in that persons shoes at all...

I am really interested to see how this all pans out, because Zimmermans’ friend does make some sense about how this is being exploited in the media...And those pimping the masses are doping so, not for the kid who was killed, but for their own edification...

Just my opinion...

Sorry I don’t but am sure they’re on somebody’s site. Maybe even here on one of the threads. Might try FR search.

You would hope it would never come to such an out-of-control a situation.

However, this is North FL, close to the Panhandle, and pretty conservative country.

Coupled with FL’s concealed carry/stand your ground laws, I don’t think many truck drivers will be pulled from their trucks, ‘cause the people doing the pulling would get shot by the truck drivers.

Armed citizens tend to make for a more polite society for a good reason.

Unfortunately, based on the eyewitness accounts, this is wisdom Treyvon’s parents seemed to have failed to impart to their son.

I heard that call once and don’t care to hear the terror in Zimmermans voice again. It was chilling indeed.

...and remember that when the police arrived he was, of course, pretty much dazed, having his head bashed and fighting off this guy..... He did tell the police he was crying out for help and nobody came.....how sad is that? Especially when you hear him on the tapes of people calling
saying they would not go out there...I don’t understand that...someone screaming bloody murder and many hearing yet nobody goes out to help?

We are truly on our own when faced with danger.

I agree...I saw many videos yesturday where armed citizens stopped crimes in the heat of them. One 70 year old man shot a man stabbing his wife behind a McDonalds counter , shot three times and difficult aim "over the counter at an angle" he did well and saved her life. The perp had already stabbed her over 7 times before he got there. So he's surely her hero.

Personally I would be honored to have Zimmerman in my nighborhood. I truly think this was clearly self-defense....they can knit pick the details but his life was very much in danger.

This one event tells you all you need to know about George Zimmerman. That his friend has the courage to do this tells you that the picture being painted of Zimmerman, that he’s a wannabe and a dork, is wrong.

It reminds me of another fellow who was railroaded because the elites didn’t like his look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Jewell

Trial by media in which a sitting POTUS sicced his hounds on Zimmerman. It’s a sad state of affairs.

Yes, George Zimmerman will have to *live* with his decision for the rest of his life.

Of course, it is very likely that if he was not carrying his self defense weapon, he would be dead.

That was certainly a possibility...But, I believe, in this day and age, but not carrying a firearm for defensve purposes is opening yourself up to a lot of grief (risk)...

If Zimmerman had been murdered by the suspect...I seriously doubt if the news would have been broadcast outside of the local media outlet...

Someday the black community may realize that Obama is not their Son either.

And his DNA might prove it. Whose his daddy??? He's less black than a lot of Arabs.
