Zimmerman/Martin Thread

[Mr. Kettle Bell]

Not going to read the entire thread, but someone might have already said this....if what Zimmerman stated is kind of what happened, why did he not say while Martin approached him " Stay back, I am armed"?

The narrative doesn't seem to support this scenario overall I'd say.

And a week or so ago the Rev Race Pimp made this statment

i notice you didn't include the part that said sharpton was talking about civil disobedience.

[WildRose]

That law needs to go.

We have a similar one in my state which I talked to my state senator about last week.

Self defense is already legal, we don't need to give people more reasons to kill each other and think it is ok.

It's bad law, period

Emphasis mine. The law in no way allows for same.

The problem is without such clear cut rules that remove the "duty to retreat" and hold you immune from all civil and criminal penalties as long as the evidence supports the claim of SD, you can saver your family and at the same time lose your life as you have known it prior to having to make such a call.

Self Defense is the most fundamental rights of man, and one should never be made a victim by the "justice system" for exercising that most basic of rights.

Well maybe he actually read the headline of the cited article.

Al Sharpton Threatens Civil Disobedience if George Zimmerman Not Arrested

Reading can be very informative.

[WildRose]

I didn't think you had to be arraigned to get bail.

Interesting but yes someone will pay his way out if he gets it. I think he should get it, the man isn't going anywhere. For his own safety though, jail might be the best place for him as long as they keep him segregated.

You haven't even been charged until the arraignment. Sometimes bail will be requested after the judge charges you, sometimes it isn't.

In this case Z's lawyers didn't ask and later stated that things just need to cool down for now.

He's certainly safer in custody than he would be if he were released and as soon as he walked out of the door the Race Hustlers would be calling for his head. Again that is.

[reflechissez]

Emphasis mine.

By reading the press release on the SPD website and watching the March 26 press conference where they state the evidence supports Z's version of events that Martin attacked him while Z was returning to his truck.

1. i don't see a press release on the website.

2. stating that the evidence supports z's version, is not the same thing as knowing what z's version is.

[QUOTE=WildRose;101417191]We shall see. Sadly I believe that Politics became the driving force in his arrest and being charged.

They judge didn't review the evidence, he simply acted on the recommendation of the Prosecutor and the Defense did not challenge it.[/QUOTE]

how do you know this?

[reflechissez]

Nothing has been shown which indicates Zimmerman gave Martin any "orders".

nor did freemind say that.

[reflechissez]

Wrong.

At the March 26th press conference the SPD confirmed that the evidence supported Zimmerman's claim he was returning to his truck when attacked by Martin.

Both of the above have been linked to many, many times in this thread.

it's no longer march 26.

Reading can be very informative.

indeed it can. especially when you take a sentence out of article an imply something different than what it said.

[WildRose]

Is there evidence that the judge didn't review the evidence?

He read what the SA gave him which was just a charging affadavit.

You don't put your whole case on during a preliminary hearing unless you're Perry Mason.

There's no way on earth he had time to review all of the evidence in the case.

[WildRose]

it's no longer march 26.

There you go with that amazing grasp of the obvious again!

[WildRose]

nor did freemind say that.

Then you didn't read it.

I posted it.

As for number two, the spokesman asked specifically abou the Sentinel article which detailed out that Zimmerman was attacked while returning to his vehicle. The Spokesman confirmed that the evidence was consistent with that version of events.

So... you don't have any evidence. Gotcha. Thanks. Point completely dismissed from any further discussion.
