Eric Holder’s involvement in a Hispanic shooting someone ,suggests that gun may be part of the Fast And Furious cache.
Zimmerman’s call to 911 made clear he was watching Trayvon for a while before the shooting.
“Hey, we’ve had some break-ins in my neighborhood and there’s a real suspicious guy.... This guy looks like he’s up to no good or he’s on drugs or something,” Zimmerman told the 911 operator.
“He’s just staring ... looking at all the houses,” Zimmerman said in between answering questions from the operator about his location and the appearance of the person he was watching. “Now he’s coming toward me ... something’s wrong with him. Yep, he’s coming to check me out. He’s got something in his hands. I don’t know what his deal is.”
If the slide didn’t cycle back far enough, maybe it didn’t chamber another round.
I don't see the self-defense argument holding water when he was pursuing this kid around the neighborhood. That's not 'standing your ground'. My guess is that when Zimmerman followed Trayvon, then got out of the car, he decided to try and grab him to detain him. That's when the kid hit him, and Zimmerman shot the kid.
Zimmerman initiated the confrontation, and this wannabe cop killed a kid. He should have listened to the dispatcher.
Did Eric Holder ever investigate the murder of these 2 WHITE British men by Shawn Tyson, a BLACK 16 year old released from prison only 10 hours earlier?
How come it's never 'RACISM' when it's BLACK ON WHITE? WASSUP WIT DAT?
It was a Kel-Tec so the slide may have over ran the top one in the magazine without moving it. I have no personal experience but have heard they were not reliable.
One thing which does bother me a bit was the neighborhood watch had phoned 911. That leads me to think the kid was doing something to merit that much concern.
It is possible, even a common practice, to chamber a round, then insert another round into the magazine to have the pistol loaded to full capacity.
When the first round would be fired, the pistol, if operating properly, would still take another round from the magazine and place it in the chamber, thus leaving the magazine with one round less than full capacity.
As this story was from an unnamed source, I think it likely that the reporter or the source simply garbled it a bit.
The useful evidence seems to be that they only found one casing at the scene. Even that does not mean much.
Legally, you are justified in continuing to shoot until you are no longer under a deadly threat.
He had as much of a right to be on the street as the kid. I guess the Kid had a problem with him and tried to beat the crap out of him. The only problem is that he was armed.
White is a race, Hispanic is an ethnicity in the white race. At least according to the U.S. Census.
LIke THESE FOLK:
Hispanic isn’t a racial designation. He’s white.
>>hes not white. hes hispanic.
For the purposes of the narrative being pushed here, he is a lily-white gun-crazed Tea Party and NRA member.
And he may be guilty of 2nd degree murder or some such - which doesn’t excuse the race warlords and others pushing a load of nonsense out there.
How does your assessment change if Zimmerman grabbed the kid to keep the 'asshole from getting away'?
Does Zimmerman have a right to detain people? If Zimmerman grabbed the kid, does the kid have a right hit him back? Remember, Zimmerman is not a cop, no matter how much he wants to act like one.
You realize, of course, that if "your guess" is not based on a logical progression of thought derived from the known facts, that makes YOU a wannabe cop.
So where's you logic, based on what facts?
Zimmerman is not “white”. This will be a Puerto Rican/Cuban vs. Black riot. I don’t think the race pimps realize that yet. Whole lot of Puerto Ricans in Orlando! Good thing for the Panthers they have Holder backing them up or they would be in big trouble in central FL.
Wouldn’t surprise me if Zimmerman wasn’t the shooter and this was staged, unbeknownst to both parties. I’m sure 0bama just can’t wait to start a little ‘civil unrest’ leading up to the election. This will fit nicely with the ‘War on Women’ (how thoughtful of Ms. Fluke to just mysteriously show up!), OWS (homegrown phenomena!), evil oil company spills, and gun chaos in Mexico. Did I leave anything out? Like Tucson, Maybe 0bama will show up at the memorial for this kid and turn that into a campaign rally too! Go, DOJ, go!!!
I live in a crappy neighborhood, and our neighborhood watch does the same thing, and we are coordinated with the sheriff dept. The whole point of the watch is to identify people that don't belong. If I see some suspicious folk walk by my window, I will make my presence known by going out on my porch with phone in hand dialing sheriff dept, and continue to follow their activity to note description and direction of travel.
We have nailed two dealers and break ins have reduced since the watch started. It was reported on my local news today that Zimmerman has called in many reports, so it sounds like that neighborhood has problems too.
Exactly!
This was a night time event.
