if any of you would like to have some fun there is a facebook page called “being liberal” that has a martin/zimmerman going. it’s pure stupidity from hysterical liberals. i’d go trolling, but after 30 seconds of looking at it i realized i’d be hours commenting on all the stupidity.

No blood on TM's hands because Z wasn't bleeding enough to have blood drain out of nose? Blood only drains out of nose once Z upright for some time?

I've made that observation many times. When he was on his back, the blood was running UP his nose.

LOL!

How about:

“I give him one simple command, ‘don’t use the f word,’ and he blows it. I’m surrounded by slavering dolts who can’t follow a simple command from their master.”

He can’t do that but I’m sure tomorrow he will dispel with the culpable negligence part of the manslaughter charge in his closing remarks.

From my understanding, to prove manslaughter one the state must prove not only that a person died who would not have done so had the defendant not performed some action which a prudent person would not have done, but also that a prudent person would have regarded the death as a foreseeable consequence of such action. I don't think that applies here.

Also, I wonder whether the defendant should be entitled to bring up the "clean hands" doctrine. To the extent that TM brought the physical confrontation upon himself, the responsibility for its consequences should lie with him rather than GZ. The state should not merely have to prove that GZ was at least "somewhat" culpable, but also that his culpability substantially exceeded that of TM. Even if the state could meet the first hurdle, there's no way it meets the second.

Also, how can anyone believe that Zimmerman was fast enough to run after and catch Trayvon.

Travon saw the gun during the “ground and pound”. I am sure Z didn't just lie on his back waiting for the next punch. George lying on his back with the gun could cause pain and perhaps damage. He did complain of sacroiliac joint pain.

You have got to check out how Angela Corey reacts to Bernie saying “Catch the f’ing punk that gets away.” Hahahaha! Start the video at 46:30, it made my day.

Yeah, but she's like Grumpy Cat (just not as good looking)...that's her happy face.

Especially if the defense can get the texts on Trayvon’s phone verified.

On many (but not all) firearms, it would then be possible to remove the magazine, insert another round, and re-insert the magazine.

I can see how such a situation could cause the malfunction we saw here. Zimmerman's gun (Kel-Tec?), reportedly, did not chamber the second round. If he crammed it to get the extra round, the auto-feed may not have worked properly, thus giving him only one shot. Let that be a lesson to everybody: You don't need the one extra round that badly!

“It’s because of these threats that I put away my regular carry gun (a .380) in exchange for more firepower, a .45 ACP Glock. With a couple of full magazines.”

Smart man. My 9 mm Springfield is close by. Getting the Bennelli 12 gauge out tonight.

All will do the job, including the lowly .380. I've seen the results from all. Some survived, some didn't.

Message to the good guys: Stay alive, everybody.

Message to the bad guys: You may want to rethink any plans for mayhem.

Liberals believe it because they don't worry about facts and reality.

After following Twitter for a little while today, I was amazed how many folks say "GZ is a child killer...period. He wanted to kill a black kid and that is exactly what he did."

Liberals don't let the truth get in the way of their opinions.

No. I think that train has left the station, with the judge driving it. But the Defense already has enough to get an acquittal....

in a perfect and/or just and fair world.

We’re about to find out just how far down the rabbit hole we’ve moved (or been dragged) away from that world.

I suspect it didn’t chamber because Trayvon was holding the slide.

Hey, Cyn! Look at all the great stuff you left me. Thanks! And it’s so weird because i JUST saw this subject on TV and was getting irritated at the media spin.

You said,

<< // Zimmerman said he was driving to buy groceries when he spotted the unarmed teen walking near a house **that he knew Martin did not live in** and called police [non-emergency number] to report a suspicious person. >>

Coincidentally, Z’s friend was just on CNN. (I think it was that middle-age white male with greying hair & in-your-face attitude who owned that house you’re talking about. I didn’t look up, i was just listening). Jane Velez Mitchell (sp?) was talking about what you just wrote, and she repeated the lie! Well, Z’s friend promptly corrected her, explaining that Z had seen TM looking in this friend’s windows and had made Z suspicious.

Well, Jane balked, not believing him. So he kept saying, “It’s on the video! At the beginning of it. Look at the video!” Sure enough, I remember seeing it on Z’s video at the very beginning.

Lots of lies the defense is going to have to correct.

Thx...I was worried that I might have hurt some delicate ears with my profanity...I think I have some anger management issues re: Bernie and his pals.;-)

Zimmerman donations coming in at $30,000 a month ....just reported by the moronic beotch, Nancy Grace on HLN. And yes, I’ve already turned the channel to Big Bang Theory.

I think calling him “an innocent teen ager” opens the door.

The defense should be allowed to rebut that.
