    Maybe Dave will reread the article, esp the part that says the video was "mischaracterized" [it wasn't Martin's friends] and the defense apologized for claiming it was. :p I can't think of one teenager I know who wouldn't videotape a fight if they happened upon it - it's not nice, but they're...

    Sarcasm is a poor substitute for discourse. Actually, I'm in favor of profiling, as far as suspicion goes. As you say, certain people fit certain demographics, and that's reality. Of course, the minute we excuse some people from suspicion, the bad guys look for ways to use that against us, so it...

    A question for the handgun experts here: could the gun Zimmerman fired have caused his broken nose from the recoil? Someone [on another forum] noticed the photo of Z's bloody nose has 2 small abrasions [like dots] on the tip of his nose, which "look like they were made by the sight when the gun...

    At least she's not on the jury...

    Everything boils down to credibility, and the tipping point for me [among a flood of evidence] was the statement Zimmerman made right afterwards. Being a student of criminal justice [literally: that's what he was attending classes for at the time], Z knows better than most that the crucial...

    At least she's not on the jury...

    Yes, I remember the original pic used. That was more than a year ago, and many more [and more realistic] photos have been used since, for both Martin & Zimmerman. Out too late at night? The 911 call began just after 7PM.

    http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/03/22/george-zimmerman-s-history-of-911-calls-a-complete-log.html 46 calls. Of the 10 made in the year prior, 5 involved 'black males'. The only other call that specified a person was someone who had a personal grievance w Zimmerman. Maybe you see it...

    Because it isn't relevant. He's not on trial. He has no history of violent behavior, or attacking people. Zimmerman does, though. The better question is: if the person screaming for help on the 911 call can't be determined, why does the prosecution want it in, but the defense wants it kept out?

    Yep, they filed a lawsuit. Against the Homeowners Association that allowed Zimmerman to act as Neighborhood Watch on their [the HOA's] behalf and with their approval & promotion. [But without any sanction from the actual NW organization, or oversight]. NW volunteers aren't supposed to do...

    Zimmerman's need for bail [twice, because he was rearrested after getting caught lying about his assets the first time he was bailed] is entirely his own fault. You don't see the grace in the Martins' request for calm, and justice? BTW: with all the demonstrations so far, not one law has been...

    At least she's not on the jury...

    Really, Dave? Martin "shouldn't have been walking outside after dark"? It is all down to credibility, as there are no real witnesses, and those who saw or heard some of it disagree. For my money, Zimmerman's credibility is zilch. And, not that it's exactly relevant, really, but I admire the...

    Euorpe, are the crazy?

    Just curious: if the Europeans are so advanced, why does the [bottom pic] truck labelled 'Super Cargo' have an enormous window in the cargo space? :confused:

    Is trucking a good substitute for divorce?

    If I were Catholic, I'd nominate your wife for sainthood - and not just because I think there ought to be a saint named Jujubeans, lol. Seriously, I commend you & Juju [and everyone] who manages to make it work, through thick & thin, for better or worse. But I also commend those who realize...

    Jury selection begins for George Zimmerman in Trayvon Martin case - latimes.com You can skip the whole article if you like - just read the very last comment. Boggles the mind, it does.

    I think I could very easily picture IRT buying lovely new furniture for his bride [no joke combinations like walnut & mahogany, either!] Then, hearing her rave about someone's antique furniture, grab an axe and lit cigar to 'fix' his mistake. [With the furniture, not the wife, in case you...

    Another Foxlike website - the second link, at least. While I only skimmed the McCarthy report [and BTW, he DID cause a blacklist of many talented Hollywood writers & directors, among them my beloved Ring Lardner, and with the help of then Screen Actors Guild President Ronald Reagan, who gave up...

    Say the word gun, get suspended

    That's like saying there's no real difference between bottles of vintage wine & plonk: just because you don't have the ability to discern the differences, [much less appreciate them] doesn't mean they don't exist.
