you wouldn't have Twitter without the Twits

I would think that "celebs" would be quick to vet the information they retweet for fear of being held responsible for an libel, damaging, or offensive messages. Not very bright misinforming the masses no matter what side you are on.

supposedly this is George Zimmerman's dad on hate

it's not hate - it's justice people are seeking

and having been a judge you'd think this guy would know a thing or two about justice

Footage of Zimmerman in the police station on the night of the shooting.

He doesn't look injured. Like, at all.

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

Zimmerman and friends take a walk around the police station - multiple cameras

for someone who was fighting for his life - he sure looks great!!

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

Looks like Lee did the right thing - finally, never should have done that in the first place

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

So is this really happening?

Zimmerman walks free and the kid with the candy is guilty?

The feds are investigating what?

Every day that passes by I get more fucking pissed off. Arrest this guy, he is innocent until proven guilty, he can post bail.

The justice system should be on trial here.

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

hispanic = white = black and we are all together...

Yesterday someone asked me if I had heard the news about a white guy shooting a black kid with candy...

I think it is funny, because Hispanics in my state do not want to be considered white. Hispanics in my state get tax breaks and several incentives for being Hispanic and not white. I think Asians are more white than Hispanics myself.

So what does Hispanic mean? well according to Hispanics it means they are from Spain by way of Mexico. 100 years in Mexico before they headed north...

In Santa Fe New Mexico as a "white" kid, I remember my principle welcoming me to the school and telling me that I am a minority now and that I should expect to get my ass kicked a few times for being white. Luckily, my dark skin confused the locals and they thought I was Hispanic. I also made a point to stay away from the low rider cholos which proved to be smart as I saw many of good looking white girls get their ass kicked for being white a Hispanic event. One friend is blind from the Cholo/Chola ass kicking.

So for the Mexico/Spanish/Latino/Hispanic people, don't refer to them as white, I am sure you are offending them.

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

This has become an enormous race issue and that is fine. It should be looked at and examined, which Charles Blow did in his excellent NYTimes article yesterday, From OJ to Trayvon http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/07/op...sq=Blow&st=cse

If I just clear my head and look at it without race, it's my kid coming home from 7-11 on a rainy night and he gets killed by another human, it's time for my tax dollars and the justice system to go to work.

I think this Zimmerman should be arrested. He was told to "stand down" by an 911 operator yet he pursued and eventually killed a 17 year old kid.

Fucks Sakes what sort of evidence does it take? He needs to be arrested, charged and tried.

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

He didn't listen to the dispatcher, continued to stalk and killed a kid

no Standing Ground here - more like Stalking Ground

what is wrong with this picture?

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

I don't want to take sides, I could see arguments for both of them. Supposedly, there was a witness who saw Trayvon on top of George, slamming him into the sidewalk. Also, I've heard that George tutored black children in the community for free and in 2010, he got very vocal about the "beating of a black homeless man by the son of a white Sanford police officer." He doesn't necessarily fit the typical description of someone who is overly racist.

I think it was wrong for Obama to say "If I had a boy, he would look like Trayvon."

I think it was wrong that no arrest was made unless there truly wasn't any good reason to do so (which seems unlikely at this point).

I think it was wrong for NBC to edit the 911 recording to make it seem like Zimmerman was saying something racist ("He looks like he's up to no good...he looks black," taking out the dispatcher asking him what race Trayvon was).

I think it was wrong for Spike Lee and Roseanne Barr and anyone else to tweet Zimmerman's address to the world (though it was the wrong address and happened to be an elderly couple's who had nothing to do with this).

I think it was wrong for the New Black Panthers to put a bounty on Zimmerman's head.

And possibly most importantly, I think it was wrong for Zimmerman to approach Trayvon after the 911 dispatcher clearly told him not to do so. If he stayed back, we wouldn't be discussing this situation.

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

So who really was the baby daddy?

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

I think it was wrong a man shot a kid in cold blood and got away with it

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

If you are a citizen of the United States and have kids you should be outraged. If this was the Governor's kid, a celebrities kid, a Fortune 500 executives kid, a police officers kid.... well you get it.

We pay taxes for fair representation and justice should be served equally. Arrest the shooter and try him. He says he's innocent and so does some of the Sanford police dept. Unfortunately this case is botched. Appearances of simply being overtaken make 0 sense.

There's a difference between block watch and actual pursuit. Let's have a trial and define the difference.

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

Zimmerman has a website now, http://therealgeorgezimmerman.com/The_facts.html, and he is asking for donations.

Probably because the special prosecutor Angela Corey announced she will not take the case to a grand jury.

Lawyers trying to interpret that move differed on what it means, but one point is now unequivocal: Prosecutor Angela Corey will not charge Zimmerman with first-degree murder. That requires an indictment by a grand jury.


It's still a mystery as of today what charges if any will be filed. The pressure must be unreal for prosecutor Angela B. Corey, they say she's bad ass... I'm not sure if they mean it in a literal sense or physical sense.

Zimmerman's lawyers bail - citing lost contact

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

Charged, 2nd degree murder.

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

tack on "stalking" and filing a false police report/false information in an attempt to hide a crime (if he didn't sustain any true injuries according to his/brother's/father's/friend's story)

next stop - the scumbags of the Sanford Police Dept....looks like that place needs an enema for their poor handling of this case.

ya know, if this asshole didn't pretended to play sheriff for his Neighborhood Watch - a kid would be alive and he wouldn't be charged with murder.

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

I'm surprised there no charges pressed involving his garish website. It's hideous looking.

Long Live Zimmerman!

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

It took 46 days to arrest Zimmerman. From the erratic behavior he put on public display in the previous days before his arrest I think he knows his goose is cooked.

On his website he states the shooting was a "life altering" event for him. That bullshit sympathy seeker makes me sick to my stomach. Trayvon Martin had a "life altering" event, death.

Like he said during the now infamous 911 recording,

Zimmerman stated 'these a**holes, they always get away," and also said 'these f****** punks.' "

Mr. Zimmerman, I am proud to say it looks as though one of these a**hole f****** punks is not going to get away.

May 29th will be the next court date.

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

He'll get off. BOOM!

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

That could happen, he is presumed innocent until proven otherwise. The burden is on the prosecutor now, not Zimmerman.

The lead up to the arrest is problematic, an unarmed teenager is murdered by an adult with a gun and there is evidence readily available that the adult systematically pursued a teenager with a loaded gun.

It's not the type of world I want to live in nor do millions of others. At least now we'll get to find out why Zimmerman was let free. That's all anybody needs to know.

‘I Am Sorry,’ Zimmerman Says as Bail Set at $150,000

"I wanted to say I am sorry for the loss of your son," Zimmerman said, addressing the parents of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, who were in attendance. "I did not know how old he was. I thought he was a little bit younger than I am, and I did not know if he was armed or not."

"I did not know if he was armed or not."

OOPS. That comment sort of blows the self-defense claim.

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

His apology doesn't appear to be sincere. I think he's more worried about himself.

And that's a very good point. If it were self defense then why go make a comment like that? Because he's lying!

Re: This is why we all cant have guns.
 

wow only $150,000?

he's getting treated too nicely

"didn't know he was armed or not" what does that mean?

If this guy was concerned the kid was armed he would have stayed put when the dispatcher told him to do so.
