I heard something about a black on white thing that went down there in Fl where the black guy got off but can't seem to find anything about it.  Did you hear anything on that Locutus?  It's one that got buried I guess.  Wish I  could remember the name but he got off on the "stand your ground" defense.

Yep.  His name is Trevor Dooley.

I'm still sitting silently on this one.....we need to hear ALL the facts.  I hope that the special prosecutors are NOT reacting to public pressure, and actually DO have some concrete evidence to convict Zimmerman with an actual crime.
Off the cuff, one has to wonder if the evidence is in favor of Zimmerman since NO charges has been filed, unitl NOW.

I still believe had Zimmerman NOT been playing Barney Fife, Martin would still be alive...but there is NO crime in playing Barney Fife...is there?

It is without a doubt a very interesting case.

2nd degree murder playing barney fife isn't a crime?  This guy has been playing cop way too long and I hope the HOA is absolutely fucked for sending Barney out on patrol, armed.  It has already been established Zimmerman wasn't supposed to have the Barney bullet, nor pursue the kid.  I hope the Martin family owns the whole fucking place when all is done.

  I would like to see the jury divided 6 whites and 6 blacks to give the killer an equal chance to get by with murder.   :biggrin:

Where did it say the HOA sent Mr. Zimmerman "out on patrol"? I thought he did this on his own (self appointed).

  Since he lived there, I would consider him a member on the Neighborhood watch. :eye:  :cowboy:  :hunt: :cheshire:  :yes: :wink:

Anne

Depends, did he attend meetings, was he a member of the group, did they authorize him to patrol with a gun, probably not, unless their neighborhood watch groups are a lot different than they are here. Living in a nieghborhood doesn't necessarily make you a member of the neighborhood watch group.

  By any chance do you watch your neighborhood.  I'll bet you do.   :yes: :yes:

Anne

Yes, we did belong to the neighborhood watch, but haven't been for awhile. It was very interesting and informative. For the record we were told never to follow or confront anyone but to call the police.

  But what would that happened by one of your neighborhood watch.   :confused:

Anne

If you are asking would that have happened in our neighborhood, I don't think so. Our neighorhood is multi ethnic and seems to serve as a shortcut between two major streets so it isn't unusual to see black, hispanic or biracial people walking or driving through the neighborhood. Late at night someone might call the police though.
