You're probably right, but we'll never know.

I posted about jury nullification a couple of times in the other thread. They could vote either way, for a number of reasons known only to them. On paper, the prosecution failed to meet its burden. What they 'filled in the gaps' with contradicted reality or earlier statements too many times (3 shots, shirt with a red and black pattern, Martin on his father's doorstep, 'You got me' on the telephone', etc.) They didn't fail badly enough that the judge laughed them out of the courtroom, they turned in a C minus effort. quote: ORIGINAL: PeonForHer quote: ORIGINAL: Powergamz1 On paper?

All fine and well, but I was the scrawniest 12 yr. old kid (almost) in a Jr. HS of 900 kids, got my head bashed into a locker on a semi-regular basis, had to go do the paper route amongst viscous dogs in the afternoon after all that, along with dealing with 14 yr. old neighborhood thugs, etc. I never once thought of getting a gun, but maybe that's just because I was stupid or something. Or maybe I just considered, at that young age, that you take the good with the bad. I can't believe what a world of suck-ass pussies all these putative "He-Men!" have become. I've had my place broken into on several occasions, two of them when I was in house. I once stepped out of the shower, dripping wet, confronted a "young black male" who outweighed me by at least 30 pounds (not the least bit difficult in this case), and I just said; "What are you doing?" He turned tail and ran, after saying something about "looking for firewood." It was all in the attitude and approach. He was in the wrong, I was in the right. Of course that won't work every time, but I just got tired of being 'scared' all the time in my 'scrawny youth,' and that, apparently, came across in that moment, along with my well displayed seriously sharp elbows. All I know is that it came to mind that I wish I could have run as fast from the 'bullies' as he ran away from my apartment on that day. If a freakin' 12 yr. old (and hear this, I certainly wasn't the only one beat by kids ALOT bigger than me) could deal with vicious dogs and 14-16 yr. old bullies (OK, so I didn't always deal with it perfectly), don't give me this crap about a fat 28 yr. old being such a pussie that he had to shoot the 17 yr. old that he was stupid enough to follow so closely as to almost guarantee an entanglement. But, given all the crap I had to put up with when there was no adult, not to mention even a gun, to deal with on a semi-regular basis as much or more than GZ had to deal with on that ONE occasion, all I can do is laugh my ass off as the PUSSIES come out of the woodwork in defense of the all-time PUSSIE, Zimmerman.

I think that you have hit upon the solution here, and I hope the trial experiment goes well. (pardon the pun....) Its unmoderated because people cant seem to stop with the personal attacks and I am sure the Admins are sick of having to play clean up when someone attacks someone else for stupid shit... like being a homophobe. Or stupid shit like when someone attacks someone else for not agreeing with them.

OK.... do you really think that when the self defense laws were written it was so they could protect pussies like Zimmerman from their well deserved fates? quote: ORIGINAL: Edwynn All fine and well, but I was the scrawniest 12 yr. old kid (almost) in a Jr. HS of 900 kids, got my head bashed into a locker on a semi-regular basis, had to go do the paper route amongst viscous dogs in the afternoon after all that, along with dealing with 14 yr. old neighborhood thugs, etc. I never once thought of getting a gun, but maybe that's just because I was stupid or something.

You realize that this statement almost word for word what "excuses" Martin bouncing Zimmerman's head off the pavement?

mnottertail -> RE: UNMODERATED ZIMMERMAN (7/12/2013 3:51:55 PM)
Did you shoot him? Or is there a fuckin point to this, because, if Trayvon were in the shower lookin to get a little jiggy with Zimmerman, I wouldn't have a damn thing to say about this. Other than that, I am unsure of the point of your non-sequitur.

Who really thinks the prosecution proved anything except that they had a good reason not to prosecute in the first place? The prosecution proved every element of second degree murder beyond a reasonable doubt. Zimmerman's own words proved he had ill will and hatred for Martin Zimmerman's story was proven to be untrue by his own witness under cross examination(specifically there is no way he reached his weapon if Martin had him pinned down with Martin's knees in his armpits) Zimmerman never denied shooting and killing Martin. That's all the elements and Zimmerman made up the self defense claim and lied about knowing the self defense laws. You never know what a jury will do though. I am sort of surprised they didn't come back quickly, sequestered juries tend to return on Friday's so they can go home for the weekend.

tazzygirl -> RE: UNMODERATED ZIMMERMAN (7/12/2013 3:54:26 PM)
Oh I am quite calm... laughing a bit in fact at this and the other threads. Lets be real for a moment. Two men met on a very dark night, both with attitudes and histories of anger... both unable to walk away. I dont blame T for going home.. who the hell wants to be followed and go straight home to where the kid brother is? I dont blame Z for being there, he felt he had an obligation. The break down comes in with Z forgetting his role, since he is following as he says he was taught by NW. As a nurse, if I follow only have my rules, if something goes wrong, I am not only "half" responsible. There are lots of inconsistencies in the stories. No one will ever know the truth. but lies have been told... how many or to what extent, again, we may never know. These two forces met, and fought, for whatever reason. Many often say "The equalizer was the gun". In this case, it wasnt an equalizer. Now, we have charged 6 women, some with small children, the task of finding Z innocent or guilty. Its amazing how no one has thought about how this is affecting, or going to affect, their lives. Find him guilty, or innocent, and these women will surely feel the fall out for their decision. A hung jury will make both sides of the issue angry. As much as we all want to be arm chair lawyers and juries... we arent... those 6 women are. Its now in their hands.. and I cant help but feel sorry for them no matter how they rule. If Z gets convicted now, it just may be overturned on appeal. Who knows. But as much anger as this case has generated... and widely evidenced on these many, multiple threads... would any of you not think about yourselves as you are trying to decide this man's future?
