Rambo was a vet looking up his old squad mates when a out of control local police force decided to “make an example” of him. His actions may have appeared, to an outside observer, to be wildly out of control, but from someone reading the book, they had it coming.

To Main Stream Media,George Zimmerman is Hispanic

By Angel, on March 21st, 2012

George Zimmerman the man who shot the young teen Trayvon Martin in Florida well likely face manslaughter charges rather than first or second degree murder, due to a Florida law that is called “Stand Your Ground’....

A few thoughts here after listening to the 911 calls.

1. After Zimmerman called 911 and described the location, description and activity, he should have waited for police. Neighborhood Watch or not, the responsibility is report and observe.
2. Leaving his vehicle put him in the position of aggressor. If no crime was in progress or witnessed, he had no business initiating a confrontation.
3. The evidence will produce the facts, however, the tapes, and Zimmerman ignoring the 911 operator NOT to follow, is going to get Zimmerman a Manslaughter charge at the least.

The 'stand your ground' laws in FL are not a license to act on your own, UNLESS your life or the life of others is in immediate danger. Intiating the confrontation, and some of the things Zimmerman says on the tapes show he was looking for trouble and pushed this.

What about the numerous calls Zimmerman made to 9-1-1, none of which resulted in arrest?

That is wannabe behavior to the max. He wanted to be important. He wasn't. He wanted to help the Police, he didn't.

He got himself into a confrontation with an unarmed and innocent 17 year old eating CANDY - and then thought the skinny kid who he outweighed significantly was a threat to his life - so he killed him.

If the skinny kid was a threat to the fat wannabe’s life - he shouldn't have continued chasing him down and harassing him for being black, and thus “suspicious” to the wannabe.

Twin Lakes’ population is ethnically mixed.

Aren't both people involved Hispanic? Does anyone have statistics on how much Hispanic on Hispanic murder there is in the country? Any change the press mistakenly thought that 'Zimmerman' was a Jewish name?

The Left see an opportunity to blast CCL and ‘stand your ground’ laws and are willing to use a dead Black ‘kid’ as their pawn.

BTW: If I see them posting his 13 yr. old pic much longer, I'm gonna scream. They know no bounds in their ideology.

While the Zimmerman ‘white’ on black killing is covered 24/7 on the MSM with an outpouring of rage and charges of a racial hate crime, where is the concern- where is the rage about the home invasion, torture, beating, rape and murder of the elderly white couple by ‘African Americans’ in Oklahoma just the other day?

The 90 year old war veteran husband was beaten, his jaw broken, shot in the face with a BB gun and now barely clings to life.

The 85 year old partially blind wife was raped and beaten to death.

.

There’s a lot more here than a home invasion and robbery.

WHERE ARE THE CHARGES OF A RACIAL HATE CRIME??

90 year old husband’s jaw broken and shot in face with BB gun?
85 wife year old semi blind wife RAPED and BEATEN to death??

Where is the 24/7 MSM coverage

Where is the outrage?
