Active thread - Zimmerman Not Guilty

[island1fox]

You just described 60- 70% of high school kids. Nobody said he was a saint. But to describe him as a thug who got what he deserved is definitely wrong and racist. If this kid was a white kid with some baggy pants and a hoody, all you republicans would be up in arms and probably blaming Zimmerman's Latino roots. Zimmerman was twice his age and should have had the wisdom to not pursue Trayvon and let the police handle the situation. But because Zimmerman is a racist, he profiled Trayvon based on how he looked and not on anything Trayvon did. If Trayvon was your son, I bet you would want justice.

spor,

You will never get it.

If he was my son --who was suspended from school ---he would have been grounded in the safety of his own home and not wandering around smoking pot --200 miles away --at a mother of another brothers house---It was not until the next day did his "caring" parents even know Trayvon was dead!! That is the crux of the problem !!

Secondly --I am not a Republican --I did not say Trayvon deserved to die --and my family is Hispanic.
If the "Liberals" or Dems or whatever you call yourselves --maybe "progressives" --How about a little love and care for the still living.

Children without fathers --dropping out of school --drugs--gangs--guns --DEATH --thousands of young Black and Hispanic men --many Killing each other ---Wake Up !!

How many jobs in over five years has Obama provided for the Minorities ?? No jobs or opportunities --just basic shelter and food --the same you would give to any slave or prisoner !!

The new Liberal Plantation. Read books from some very educated Blacks --Like Sister Dineen Borelli ---Blacklash !!! Time to get off the Liberal Plantation !!!


Generation after generation --doomed to failure and poverty --and you dare to call the Right Racists --Hows that Hopey Changey working out for you ???

LBJ and the "Great SOCIETY" --Has done nothing over fifty years --but decimate the Black family and enable an impoverished dependant class for their own Political control and power !!

Obama speaks eloquently of "shared sacrifice" While he Golfs,takes muti million dollar Vacations with Rich Whites in Cape Cod and parties with JayZ and Beyoncé !!!

Deputies: George Zimmerman charged with assault, battery after dispute at girlfriend's home | Fox News

George Zimmerman was charged Monday with assault after deputies were called to the home where he lived with his girlfriend, who claimed he pointed a shotgun at her during an argument, authorities said. Zimmerman pushed the woman out of the house and barricaded the door with furniture, Chief Deputy Dennis Lemma said at a news conference hours after the arrest.


Why can't they just leave George alone? Don't they know you can't flim flam the Zimzam.... poor guy.

Zimmerman appears to either be brain dead or completely lacking common sense. He knows his life is under a microscope so can't do stupid/criminal things. Its still unclear exactly what happened this time but he has to realize he will be held to a higher standard for the rest of his life.

Extreme ineptitude seems to be the norm for him.

Obamacare may have been his doing.

A higher standard? How is that? If he's going to have domestic disputes, he's going to have the police called just like anybody else. That he's a social ass and darling for the Second Amendment crusaders just makes them look a little odd. Sooner or later people are going to look at Zimmerman and his record and reexamine 2nd Amendment and just when those rights should be restricted or taken. George has had more domestic police calls in the last 6 months than most people ever have. Pointing a shotgun at her? Was his life in danger?

On the upside I'm pretty sure Florida has mandatory surrender of weapons after domestic violence charges.... so there's that.

Does surrender of weapons include not being able to buy them again in the future?

Charges is not the same as found guilty, so until then there is no legal reason to take away his guns.

Of course a higher standard. If Zimmerman was a normal nobody would this story even be on the news?

What does the Florida law say? It may not require a conviction.

Yes, locally. But it's not a higher standard as in "people are out to set him up". I don't think Zimmerman has shown the ability to live up to even the lowest standards of gun ownership.

GZ is most certainly being held to a higher standard. How many times do police respond to domestic disturbance calls, sit both parties down, get things worked out (for now) and leave without arresting anyone? Now, if they respond to a complaint involving GZ, they will not bother trying to work things out but rather will make an arrest, preferring to sort things out at the station.

He really needs to keep his nose clean from this point forward.

 

[oldngray]

I agree Zimmerman has been no shining light for representation of responsible gun owners. Even in the Martin trial he was not the kind of guy most people would like, but as the evidence showed and jury agreed, there was not enough to convict him of murder. Apparently he learned little to nothing from the trial. Or it could be he is cracking from the stress in his life. Regardless I would agree he is acting like an idiot.

Usually in cases of domestic abuse, a temporary injunction/restraining order will be issued. Since you can't own weapons when someone has a restraining order against you, you have to surrender them.

As Zimmerman packed his stuff, Scheibe began placing items in the front of the house and outside the door, at which point Zimmerman got upset. He removed the shotgun from its case, pointed it at Scheibe for a minute and asked her if she really wanted to do that, according to the report.

As Scheibe stepped back, Zimmerman smashed the glass coffee table with the butt of the gun and told her to leave. As she approached the door, Zimmerman ultimately pushed her out and locked the door behind her. He then barricaded the door with several pieces of small furniture, authorities said.

I don't think they were going to work it out lol. Seems like an arrest was justified.

It looks like it varies between states and you are usually at the mercy of a judge, but you were correct about Florida.

I believe that of one has a past record, there is very little "talking things put". That's how people get long rap sheets for doing the same crap over and over. Or are Florida police now part of the "hate guns" crowd and trying to drag the 2nd Amendment through the mud.
