You can't admit it was a stupid thing to do, can you? ZimmermanâEUTMs supporters insist that this case is not about race, so why were ZimmermanâEUTMs supporters moved to vandalize a black cultural center, and why is Zimmerman endorsing this? What other âEUoedeedsâEU are ZimmermanâEUTMs supporters encouraged to commit in order to leave a âEUoedeep impression?âEU
When you're asking for citations about basics of the cases and anyone with a cursory knowledge of the case can tell you about it, it is just being dense. Go to the wikipedia page. It's a good start.
I'm asking you to cite me specific examples of blatant misinformation reported in the news, and you tell me to go to the wikipedia page. Okay... There is certainly bias (no channel/newspaper/radio is unbiased) but the only example I see here of blatant misinformation is that NBC guy who altered the original 911 call. He was fired for it.
Few are reporting it. You know, because none of them are doing the honest unbiased reporting?
Yeah your posts here are examples of unbiased reporting, lol.
Yeah you can see right there in the text that you quoted from my post i said "To the case, no" but kinda just glazed over the second half of it so uh good job I guess.So basically it's a pure character attack
If it's not gonna be in the courtroom it's a pure character attack. Got it.
The words that flew out of the 911 dispatcher's mouth was "you don't have to do that." If I am talking to a 911 dispatcher, someone who is trained in dealing with emergency calls, I would interpret "you don't have to do that" to "you really should leave this to the cops, because you are not a cop."So basically it all comes down to what you would do. Since when were you the final say on the law and what should and shouldn't be allowed?
No, I gave what I thought would be a rational and reasonable thing to assume. I guess not everybody is rational and reasonable.
You may think that, I think it has more to do with him feeling like a badass on patrol looking for trouble makers. You know, a wannabe cop. Walking around late at night with a gun.Yeah, a neighborhood watch. You know, considering the several break-ins in the area.
Yeah, see what happens when you take the law into your own hands?
Here's the thing, you don't have to actually sustain severe injuries to feel threatened. I can easily shoot somebody who pulled a knife and only got in superficial cuts. Does that mean I wasn't at risk of being stabbed?
Not at all, but you're the one who said his head was being smashed on the pavement, and pointed out to a a picture of his head with blood on it as evidence that he was attacked, so uhh I guess what I'm saying is that sort of injury isn't very consistent with how you described it.
Trayvon also had the option to flee before head bash mode.
You don't even know if that happened.
Oh, and remember earlier when you said you didn't care how much money he raised? Here's a biased article about the nature of that $200k. Not looking good, actually. Bail money is often set based on how much a person is able to pay. Lying to a judge about an extra 200k lying around is a big no no, especially since the original amount was in part based on hardship from losing his job. The lawyer is claiming he had no knowledge of the money during the bail hearing, so lets hope he didn't get a check for 50k.
Look I can drag this on for 20 pages if I need to, but let's just make one thing clear here: none of us, not me, not you, not anyone posting in this thread knows all of the facts. We did not see everything that happened that night, and we may never actually know. The only thing we can do now is analyze the leak of information slowly dripping out from wherever it comes from and make our own theories that sound the most logical and probable, and everybody in american right now has their own idea of what logical and probable is. But one thing is for certain: if Zimmerman really is innocent (or acquitted), his life is essentially ruined and will have hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt due to legal fees and what-have-you. This is objectively wrong no matter what your opinion of the man is. I don't know for 100% certain that Zimmerman is guilty of murder 2 (i certainly THINK he is) but I do know that no matter what the verdict is in this case Zimmerman is absolutely fucked. True. But then I think of Trayvon's family.
