Martin/Zimmerman-----Poll

[clancy]

News sells..so they had to twist the news.
I couldn't purposely falsify news as they done..I would feel like a racist and couldnt work there

That is so true. I don't see how the media could skew the facts as they have. I think most of it is politically motivated. Rick Scott and Angela Corey don't want to be the ones to throw the case out so they just kick the can down the road.

It's curious that you demand that Zimmerman be excused for defending himself, but refuse to acknowledge that Martin could have been defending himself too.

Coulda, woulda, shoulda aren't facts. The wounds Zimmerman had and the witness are the facts.

My position is not around whether Zimmerman is guilty or not, he killed a man. My position is that until the full circumstances are known, it's impossible to decide what he is guilty of,murder, manslaughter, or laughably bad judgement.

That's the fact that you really don't like.

Rev. Jesse Jackson claimed the Sanford, Fla., police department "didn't even bother to put yellow tape around the murder scene when he died—that's how much the police did to find out what happened to this young boy."

Looks like yellow police tape to me. Jesse lied.

The race baiters sure did twist the facts on this one. I wonder what other lies they have told.

Actually what drove the occurrence to the point of being major news was all the fucking lies.
It basically went as follows...Crazed white man shoots young black boy on way home from candy store...complete with picture from elementary school.
A major network edited the 911 transcript to make him look like a racist.
The ones involved have since been fired.

Sharpton and Jackson {2 high profile racists} pushed the shooting with nothing but hate and lies.
Turns out all of it was lies.
Had all the lies not been told to begin with...it would just be another shooting.

The original prosecutor did not file....and we see why,,,it was all bullshit.
This case is nothing more now than a case to sooth the Hysteria.
They called in a special prosecutor is who is known have unethical practices

You're right here. The media ran with bullshit after bullshit, pushing the race issue to get ratings. I'm even with you when you say Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton are racist.

BUT the fact that he was charged and it had to happen....he killed a 17 year old. You have your opinion on the matter, I have mine........fuck, most of the world has now...but whether or not deadly force was warranted has to be examined. A couple of scratches and a broken nose, to me, don't justify shooting someone to death, and after reading the laws applicable to the case and the situation, as we know it, I really believe he has to be found guilty.

"Shooting someone to death" is really a stretch here. While one bullet was enough to kill Martin you are making it sound like Zimmerman emptied a full clip. One shot indicates self defense not a "depraved mind". Just because someone died doesn't mean someone else HAS to be found guilty. The whole picture has to be considered and the laws applied.

There is just as much racism against Latino Zimmerman as anyone in this situation. The lynch mob wants him found guilty before a trial even begins.

Just goes to show how eager these idiots are to stir things up.

That seems to be the strategy of those who want Zimmerman hanged. They minimize important evidence that backs Zimmerman's story.

He shot Martin to death, the # of bullets has nothing to do with it.

Proving "depraved mind" means he killed without regard for human life....I can't say whether or not that can be done in a court of law, but my opinion still stands, I think he did, I don't think he followed Martin intending to kill him, but that's what happened and he has to be held accountable for his actions.

I don't want him hanged, I want him held accountable for his actions.

This seems to be the strategy of those who want Zimmerman to walk.They minimize the important fact that a man was killed.

 

[Panacea]

And a young man, at that. I find the lack of sensitivity pretty telling. It's not Martin's fault racists took his case and ran with it.

I have to agree here but I think some people have a hard time with the fact a young man lost his life. I don't like that either but there is no need to railroad someone else so others can feel better. The fact of life is that things aren't always so cut and dry. It all comes down to whether someone feels GZ was justified in pulling the trigger. I think any rational human being would have done the same in that situation.

People red rep the fuck out of him, I think he has 12 user accounts so he can rep himself

I can think of more satisfying personality disorders!

I really don't feel that bad for Martin. At one point he decided to punch someone and then smash their head against the concrete. Evidence supports this so Martin looks more like the one who was aggressive and intent on doing bodily harm. Zimmerman fired one shot to stop Martin. If you jump on a stranger on the street you don't know what they will do.

I have heard others, who I ignore, make that claim around here. The same could be said for you.
