After folks have said this should be offered as a stand-alone thread, here goes:
Imagine, just allow yourself to imagine ... You are in your vehicle on your way to the store one evening and you see a tall, slightly hunched over figure wobbling along the space between condominium buildings of your community in the dimness of the poorly lit sidewalk. The figure pauses in the misty rain to peer from under the sweatshirt hoodie he's wearing, to look into the back sliding doors of selected condos. It is dark and the figure is wearing dark clothing with the hood pulled full over his head, concealing his face for the most part. He is not easily seen from inside a lighted home since he is pausing between the lampposts when he stares into the homes shrouded in darkness beyond the reflecting glass.You think this might just be related to the several burglaries which have happened in the community. You recall one young mother with two toddlers whose sliding door was broken into during one episode. The young mother tried to seal herself in an upstairs bedroom, only to have the intruders –two black males wearing hoodies-- try to open the locked bedroom door. The sirens approaching is all that sent them from the break-in. You decide to pause and watch the behavior of this hoodie wearing person for a few moments. He appears to be carrying something; perhaps burglary tools?
As the figure wobbles off into the darkness, you are on the phone to the police, to report a suspicious person. The police on the other end ask you where the perp is and where you are and where the perp seems to be going. You exit your vehicle to try and give the police a clear address and directions. With the police on the cell phone line, you walk along the sidewalk behind the disappearing hoodied figure. You inform the police that the figure is getting away and you speed up the pace of your walk, telling the police on the phone that you will try to keep the figure in sight. The police inform you that they don't need you to do that. You immediately stop following.
Disgruntled that a possible perp is going to get away, you plod back toward your vehicle. While you're talking to the police the hoodied figure suddenly appears and confronts you menacingly, demanding to know if you have a problem with him. The hoodied figure is considerably taller than you, seems to be in his late teens, and posing an angry figure indeed.
You exchange words with the figure, seeking to defuse the situation, waiting for some police presence to appear. The hoodied figure strikes out at you, suddenly, slamming down on your nose hard enough to break your nose and send you to the ground in the wet grass. Your eyes instantly tear up when your nose is smashed. You cannot get a clear view of the menacing figure above you. The attacker is immediately upon you slamming blows down upon your face and arms as you roll around trying to get the straddling, larger than you, attacking, black male off of you.
A nearby resident hollers at you both, informing you that they are going to call the police. You continue screaming for help, screaming into the darkness beside the concrete sidewalk where the mounting attacker is trying to slam your head into the edge of the walkway concrete. He succeeds in glancing your head off of the concrete a couple of times and you realize that if you do not act immediately, this attacker could knock your brains out, leaving your family to bury you. Your instinct for survival drives your hand deep into your pocket, to grasp the little KelTec .380 you have a license to carry concealed. Instincts are pushing you now. You get the pistol out just far enough that the attacker sees it! He grabs at it and you pull the trigger, firing the pistol upward at the attacker's chest looming over your bloody face. The gun isn't quite far enough free from the clothing from which you've tried to draw it, so the slide does not cycle fully, to pick-up a second round. You would keep firing to save yourself if the gun would cycle!
There is suddenly only the ringing in your ears of the round going off. The attacker appears to freeze for a split second above you.The first bullet has struck a vital organ and the attacker rolls off of you and clutches his chest.
You realize that you have been screaming all the time you were rolling around and finally firing the gun to stop the attacker. You fall silent until a resident rushes to the scene, a resident who recognizes you. The attacker has rolled onto his back and his arms have spread out from his chest. He is unconscious. You try to check him, to see if you can actually help this attacker who only a moment before was trying to kill you!
The police finally arrive. Residents with back doors toward the walkway are coming out of their homes, to assess the commotion. One asks if you're all right and if they can get your wife on the phone. You tell them to say you've shot someone. Things rush on, but you are in a daze, exhausted and yet trying to be helpful to the questioning police. The medics arrive and begin cleaning up your wounds. Someone behind you says the attacker is dead. Your heart sinks. You feel faint, drained of emotion suddenly, with the realization that you've had to kill someone in order to save your own life. But the attacker seemed young; strong, determined, very angry, mean even, but young!
The Police Chief in your town reviews the evidence and concludes that you have done nothing for which prosecution is warranted, so he allows you to go free, back to your community and your family. ... But after weeks pass, there are forces with racial agendas and political opportunists who decide this is too good to let this incident go to waste!
You become the focus of a national spectacle as the government you voted for now wants to use you as a tool to attack gun rights, to attack your state's Stand-Your-Ground laws. The same government you voted to help get elected is now working to destroy you and your family, in their political quest. You are arrested, jailed, and your life turned upside down, as the full weight of an agenda driven government attacks you with full complicity of a crazed regime sycophant cadre of media. The Police Chief who released you is subsequently fired and a more racially satisfactory person appointed in his place.
This new Policeman will do as the regime running the United States Justice Department directs him to do. Gradually, it becomes apparent that the regime wants to fabricate a crisis, a crisis that they will not let go to waste now that they have a mixed racial incident in a swing state –a state that the regime seeks to swing into the “D” column.
To build the tension, the un Justice Department directs local operatives to pursue an outlandish charge of Murder in the Second Degree. This same Justice Department regime even sends funds to organize the racially oriented demonstrations, to put enough pressure on the local government that they do as they are told. The federal regime fully intends to exploit black people and feed to them lies upon lies about what happened that night when you stopped to see if a wobbly figure staring into back windows in your community was perhaps one of the perps who had been breaking into condos for a past several weeks.
Can you, dear reader, imagine the weight of such evil aligned against you?
George Zimmerman doesn't have to imagine it. The Federal regime is doing exactly that, in their best tyrannical mode to force a crisis through the disgusting accomplices in Mister Zimmerman's town.
We as a people need to stop wasting time and energy on Washington. They are to far gone. Get local. If not for people like Pam Bondi and Governor Scott facilitating this circus by not standing behind our elected local prosecutors and local police they could never have pulled this travesty off. Get rid of these Rinos and get people into state office with backbone and integrity. If you can’t, move to a state with stronger goverments that will standup to Washington and add to their strengths.
One time a very long time ago I was attacked.
the attacker was sitting on my chest.
my back was to the floor.
my head was slammed several times onto the hard floor.
I thought I was going to be dead soon if it did not
stop — I was in a panic and screaming for my life.
Everyone should have their head banged and then they would know what Zimmerman was going through.
Mall merchants and ground floor merchants should all get pix and descriptions of the Korean shop owners defending their property during the ‘92 riots in their email with the injunction to “go and do likewise.”
It' coming and. for some it's already happening.
I fear America is beyond that working. Think of what happens with cancer when it metasticizes. As the cancer spreads it kills the region where it invades, making healthy tissue impossible to take hold there, as the disease spreads into more and more tissue. The democrips have been spreading their vote cheat cancer so long that it now is invading even city council regions! Soros went after states AG for a well thought out reason. Soros is a large cancerous tumor, spreading his disease across America. Once he has diseased an area, that area is no long a place where healthy Constitutional Republic can exist.
Here are photos of the place.
There's almost no overhang to the buildings.
IF there was a pretty strong wind, blowing pretty steadily in one direction, then and only then might it be possible to gain some shelter from the rain.
But it would need to be pretty darn strong. And pretty darn steady.
Otherwise, the claim is total BS.

Hint: it has nothing to do with race.
No evidence GZ was on the phone to police when TM appeared and confronted him.
He had hung up with 911 and was waiting for a call from the officer who was on his way there. That is when he was ambushed.
Good summation.
Good job troop !
The polidiots forced the judicial little gators to throw everything at Zimmerman just to see what would stick.....
If they can do this shit to him. Then they can do it to us as well.
That’s my dog in this fight. I don’t like Zimmermans politics so part of me would like to see him NOT to be able to vote . Yet.....
This bypass of due process, a constitutional process versus MOB RULE is just wrong as hell.
Very obvious to all with a third grade education that George is getting the weenie here.
Regardless if Zimmerman called this punk man child a name etc when said punk presented the deadly three conditions that must be met before I use deadly force aka opportunity, capability and intent to cause me to believe I’m in fear of loosing my life.....
Boom ! Yer gonna be DRT aka dead right there if I have the chance to defend myself or mine.
My opinion .....stay safe !
ping-a-ling
As for me and mine, regardless of the verdict in the Zimmerman trial we will continue to exercise our legal concealed carry authorization and will use deadly (and after years of training, exquisitely accurate under stress)force to defend the life of ours or any others in society we believe to be in danger from assault. ... And I recently began carrying an extra, extra mag.
What's happened in this case to Zim could well be any one of us...
We've witnessed a tainted process of a tainted legal system subverted by a tainted government in the open for all to see. It is intended to be a morale-breaker and incendiary. All part of the Communitah Organizer's "Divide & Conquer" plan.
Beautiful condos. Own a similar one in Georgia. we don’t have the nice sidewalks between buildings at the back though ...
Great observation.
This Show Trial and Kangaroo Court BY DESIGN is intended to break the spirit and morale of a nation that's always prided itself on "liberty and justice for all."
However, it just might have the opposite effect and prove once and for all. Impeachments and Hearings and etc. are long overdue.
Yep
Your keen memory is a true jewel at FR. Thanks for the correction.
Zimmerman’s only real crime was that he wasn’t black because a black man in the exact same situation wouldn’t have even been charged with a crime.
Liberals are 2-bit hypocrites.
George was not charged until weeks after ... weeks after the thuggery of the regime in Washington badgered the Floriduh system to charge him and do the racist bidding of the regime running the United States unJustice Department. The police chief at the time of the incident, after consulting extensively with his detectives and looking at the evidence concluded George Zimmerman had done nothing illegal! Of course that Police Chief was fired when holder demanded a change of direction and directing. America is being run by a criminal thuggery. We The People are in very dire straits as OUR CONSTITUTION is being tossed aside for run by oligarchs with a racist agenda. Black people are being herded as nothing but pawns to serve the regime’s agenda.
