I'm thinking, why is this guy who is obviously Mexican American, and probably been subjected to profiling himself, being talked about as though he were a white American and the media is making it out a white on black thing?  Look at his pic don't you think even he has been mistaken for a light skinned black at some point in his life?  You all are convicting him on evidence you don't know is even right just because the media stirred it up and newsmen like the one on NBC added fuel to the fire by playing that edited tape.  Get a grip people you are being played.

Including being played by the prosecutor who is privy to evidence that we don't know about?  Surely you jest.

I'm not convicting anyone. . . I am just being fairly realistic about this guys chance to obtain a fair trial, afford / obtain competent legal representation, and mount a defense that will be capable of overcoming the burgeoning sack full of damning evidence that has been spamming the airwaves since the incident happened.

The fact is there isn't a jury pool available in this country that has not heard / read the media blitzkrieg that has been out there. And no matter what transpires surrounding the trail, guilt or not, I predict ominous results for the residents of Florida and various cities throughout this country.

If he is found not guilty, the riots will begin. If he is found guilty then the gun grabbers will use it as a springboard with which to impose yet another round of draconian gun legislation that will do NOTHING to those who are lawless from the start.

Moreover, the tone of your post seems to imply less than admirable motivation where the authorities are concerned; whose job it is to define illegal acts and present charges. . .

No, I have not convicted him. The media has already done so within the court of public opinion.

That's what I'm saying is a shame because for all we know he could actually have been innocent of what the media, and everyone else, is now accusing him of at this point.  IMO the media has put not only his life but others lives in danger too, like his family.  I know you'll probably disagree with this but Obama should have never gone on TV and said what he did to start this whole mess and when the Panther's offered that reward for Zimmerman Obama should have gone on TV and asked for them to back off.  It should have never reached the proportions it did.

That should be an interesting answer, if he answers at all.

answer the question Troll, why would it be wrong to sell a gun to the guy in the picture?  Are YOU racially profiling him?   or are you just trying to be funny again?

I'd say in all probability he was going to but he knows he'd better not now.

  I have a question for all of you owners of a registered hand gun.  Would you sell your hand gun to Zimmerman or someone who looks like him.

  I am not sorry that I wouldn't sell him a hand gun.  I don't want to take a chance he might shoot someone and didn't get the gun registered in his name and have them coming after me.    :no: no way and no cops :police:

  If I ever sell my register guns I will take the buyer to a licenced gun dealer and transfer the gun over to the new buyer.  My unregistered guns would be sold to someone who is a collector and trustworthy.  :trustme:
