Zimmerman Rescues Man From The Truck Crash
- Thread starter [SIL]
- Start date
I would like to point out I'm not comfortable with the justice department going after Zimmerman. I think he should be in jail, but the truth of the matter of is that most of the blame can be laid at the foot of the prosecution who overcharged him and presented the wrong case. I don't think there is any evidence of him violating Martin's civil rights and never was, that was the narrative the media took and it doesn't jibe with the evidence. He will pay for what he did but I guess he should be happy he is free at least. Maybe Fox News will hire him.
i'd like to see a precedent set that civilians can't just follow people around with a loaded weapon because they have a wild imagination.
Sometimes justice is meted out in stages.
Trayvon Martin's parents have settled a wrongful death claim with the homeowners association of the Retreat at Twin Lakes, the Florida housing complex where their son was shot and killed by neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.
The undisclosed sum is believed to be more than $1 million

it's already been clearly established that this was a wrongful death. zimmerman's problems are not over. if it was my kid he killed i wouldn't be done with him yet either.
There's no evidence of malicious intent. Zimmerman did not engage and disengage. The fact that he switched means of transportation seems irrelevant.
Your scenario contains a key difference from the Zimmerman case. There's no evidence Zimmerman provoked the use of force against himself. If that were the case the defense would have been required to show Zimmerman "exhausted every reasonable means to escape such danger other than the use of force which is likely to cause death or great bodily harm to the assailant". Statutes & Constitution :View Statutes : Online Sunshine
You're wrong, the same principle applies to your scenario as in "you shoot to neutralize the threat, not kill them". So even if someone antagonizes you, you do not have the right to beat them to a pulp. Once the threat is neutralized you disengage. The right to self defense is just that, to prevent your death or great bodily harm. So yes in a similar circumstance where you continue to beat someone after they are no longer a threat they may very well have the right to shoot you. It's the same reason if you shot at someone who broke into your house then ran away, you can't chase them down the street then execute them.

hate to say it but he seems like he's trying to be honest. and he looks like he took a good beating
if they can find the man that said zimmerman tried to detain trayvon and get him to talk.... whole new ball game.
look like yes but this sharply contrasts with other statements he'd made.
It's not us who say SYG wasn't involved it's the law. The defense did not bring up SYG once in the trial, and it wasn't necessary because SYG did not have to be invoked in this instance for it to be self defense. If that bothers you i guess you should take it up with the law makers in Florida
This case never should have gone to trial, and this case never should have been so public. He shouldn't have to deal with people like LW 12 states away trying to convict him in the court of public opinion because she has access to Some of the information. It's funny to blame the prosecutors to me on this. They were dealt a losing hand and lost.
Are you really this far gone? What i've been saying from the beginning is there is no evidence presented that leads me to believe he went out to kill this kid. He could have done things differently and trayvon would still be alive, but ive seen no evidence that what he did constitutes a crime. Show me where he attacked Trayvon? I'm waiting? I don't have a problem with a concerned citizen following someone in his neighborhood who he doesn't know, and I would hope my neighbors do the same in my neighborhood.
that's fine for you but if i catch some civilian pursuing my kid at night they are gonna have a problem with mama bear.
it is a wrongful death case and the homeowners association has already paid out over a million dollars. you'd be singing a different tune if it was your child.

and legally youd be wrong
cops here are not retarded. i'd be fine.
You mean the lawyers of the insurance company for the HOA negotiated a settlement to make this all go away as quickly as possible? Say it isn't so!
I hope you teach your kid not to attack people and momma bear should be fine. as well as baby bear will stay alive
because lawyers love to give people a MILLION dollars when they don't have a good case.
this tip was under what to do if you're being stalked
If someone is following you, never go home.

Another tip: The fire rate of a bag of Skittles is significantly lower than Kel-Tec PF-9.
the kid was carrying a cell phone. instead of calling his friend and then going and jumping the guy following him, he could have, i don't know, called the cops.

I'm pretty sure the actuary tables on this one said a million dollars was cheap compared to the negativity of letting this stay in the public eye for longer while fighting it. Use your head LW. geez
the number one tip on the stranger danger link
If you think you are being followed: Make a sudden turn, cross the street, accelerate, or go into a nearby business. If being followed by a car, reverse your direction - it will take them a much longer time to turn around and they will likely just continue on to find a different target. If you are unable to shake the follower, turn around and scream, "What do you want?" in your most indignant voice.
or maybe, "do you got a problem?"
smfh at people thinking zimmerman is some kind of neighborhood hero. after the cops chastised him for not identifying himself he said trayvon just jumped out of the bushes and punched him, states he fell backward and trayvon climbed on top of him like he didn't have time to explain himself. then during reenactment tells it completely different. trayvon was walking toward him asking what the fuck he wanted. just as he should have done according to safety tips. at that point the whole story changes if the stranger following him does the right thing. identifies himself just like the cops told him he had two opportunities to do.
there are not a thousand or more safety tip pages telling people what to do if you are being followed because that's a non worrisome thing.

any type of payment signals guilt. use yours. i'm sure they are much better off having the world think they paid out cuz they are responsible for this boys wrongful death. lawyers don't just pay a million dollars to make boogy men they aren't afraid of go away or everyone would file bogus suits.

another juror speaks
Then she adds:
Then she adds:
"As much as we were trying to find this man guilty?they give you a booklet that basically tells you the truth, and the truth is that there was nothing that we could do about it," she said. "I feel the verdict was already told."
The woman says she is having problems sleeping and eating."George Zimmerman got away with murder, but you can't get away from God. And at the end of the day, he's going to have a lot of questions and answers he has to deal with," Maddy said. "[But] the law couldn't prove it."

I don't think that douchebag ZG is a hero, hes a stupid shit that put himself in this situation, but as well TM is a stupid shit that didn't have enough brains to ignore him or call 911 they both could have prevented this but I would expect more from an adult
tm didn't have a phone on him to dial 911 with. he had candy and a can of juice. i advise parents when punishing a child to never take their phones away because it's a safety issue. not all kids have cellphones and a lot don't take them when they feel perfectly safe walking to the corner store etc. zimmerman probably changed that for a lot of people.
