Thanks. Although IIRC Martin was up by the buildings and not on the sidewalk. To “stay out of the rain”. Look at photos of the place - that is highly unlikely.
Folks thought it was bad before when people wouldn’t get involved. If Zimmerman is convicted, even more folks will think twice about being a good neighbor.
Praying for the jurors. And for George.
“Folks thought it was bad before when people wouldn’t get involved. If Zimmerman is convicted, even more folks will think twice about being a good neighbor.”
That’s part of the reason for this trial in the first place. A big part of it. The good neighbor is now considered the bad guy. They want the good neighbor to get out of the way and stop interfering. The thugs who used to be the bad guys are now the victims, and by default they are the new “good guys”. That’s how a big, powerful guy with a history of causing trouble can be portrayed in court as a harmless child with candy. Because the country has been turned inside-out and upside down, and now it’s hip to be on the wrong side of things. They WANT you to stop being a good neighbor, but they don’t care if the thugs keep doing what they’re doing.
Yeah, Hannity kept saying that. It doesn’t make any sense. Trespassing keeps you dry?
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.
People in Florida might think twice, but other states have different rules.
If you think about it, much of Zimmerman’s problem devolves from police *inaction*. That is, they decided not to charge him and then they stopped their involvement. Instead, when they saw what mischief was afoot at the federal level, they should have “poisoned the well”, to make prosecution extremely difficult. If they acted first, before the persecutors acted, they could have done it, and it would have been legal.
Instead they decided to play by the rules, when faced off with cheaters. It is the honest thing to do, but doing so will, and has, resulted in injustice.
They should have sought the advice of an old and grizzled cop, who knows how the law works, and what happens when it is abused. It really is a situation of the ends, that is, justice, justifying the means.
