"Painted into a corner"? Not even close.

Enough already. You choose to believe that Zimmerman is an honest person who told the truth, and Martin was a thug. I choose to believe neither of those is true. BTW: about that "Little Trayvon" remark? When I was in my senior year of high school, I probably didn't show up 50 days the entire...

The suspension for possession of a baggie with 'trace residue' of marijuana is the one thing he was unquestionably guilty of - but if that makes him a thug, well, he'd have plenty of company, and at one time, it would have included me. [A lot of years ago, but still...] The irony is that...

Linder: Traffic coming to a stop on the interstate could mean something's wrong, or it could be just a normal day in Chicago, DC, Atlanta, LA, NYC.....;)

I'm totally down with the idea that if you can't drive faster than 35, it's time to get off the road till it gets better. There is one time I do use the hazards, though [besides going uphill real s l o o w]: when there's fog so dense you can't see a vehicle until you're very close. I'm still...

A recent post mentioned using hazard lights to warn of slowing traffic ahead. That's something I've never felt right doing, for reasons cited in the article linked, so I've always 'flashed' the brake lights instead by tapping them. I had no idea one could be ticketed for using flashers in a...

All of what I typed was taken from here: Documents Given to the Defendant_R (1) Go ahead: find the proof that anything I typed was not supported by fact, or that I claimed it was, when it wasn't. I speculated about Zimmerman grabbing Martin's arm, yes, because that's the only scenario that...

The part about not being able to remove the weapon while being straddled was recently demonstrated by 2 students at a Kung Fu Academy in NY, the rest was taken from the documents [statements, photos, reports] released by the state of Fl. I don't accept what "the media" says, until I've verified...

Creeping along is the worst! But it does keep my personal nightmare scenario from happening, where I fall asleep waiting for everyone to move, and no one wakes me up when they do. :eek:

Please tell me you're not typing and doing your deadhead miles at the same time, because that would be illegal. And stupid, too.

If my truck were stuck in a parking lot on the highway, and it was a reasonable time to take a 30 minute break, I'd move to the sleeper berth and if 30 minutes passed without movement, I call that legal.

Ignoring what doesn't fit? You mean, like: Zimmerman was following Martin, but the only one who says Martin then followed Zimmerman is Zimmerman. Who has every reason to lie. Zimmerman had a gun, Martin had a can of iced tea. Zimmerman knew what was happening & why he was following Martin...

No one questions the right to defend oneself. But that right does not include the right to be a primary aggressor, then claim self defense, which is what a lot of people [including me] believe Zimmerman did. He won the battle, but he may have helped to lose the war over the right to carry...

The version I like is the one used by those who train people to carry weapons: do whatever you can to avoid using it.

I could list the Republican equivalents, but that's completely off topic. A right to cause the death of another person ought to be accompanied by good judgement - especially in these times, when so many want to eliminate that right.

I'm thinking that statistics that deem night driving more dangerous are extrapolated from accident records of noncommercial drivers, who are not accustomed to driving at night. It's my preferred time to drive as well - I enjoy the less traffic and noise environment.

Rates fall because there are more bidders/brokers in the process, adding extra layers to claim a slice of the pie. So how does that explain your comment in post 11, about having the free market taken from the industry by all the garbage from DC? It seems to me that it's precisely how the free...

Twice [in his original statement, taken hours after the shooting, and again in the interview with Hannity] he said Martin "put his hands over my nose & mouth" and that caused him to reach for his gun, only Martin beat him to it. :rolleyes: That didn't & couldn't happen, and it's hardly a "minor"...
