Grow a beard, get contact lenses. Get a job. There, no longer penniless. Alternatively plan to write a book, get an advance.

Zimmerman faked the car accident per a liberal radio host. No way this thread is not going to 200.

I have no idea how to interpret that.... Does "grill" mean a grill (for cooking), a grill (the front of a car), a grill (the front of a car for teeth), or is it an incorrect use of the verb grill (the act of cooking) or grill (to ask questions)?

I've noticed at my office, most of those that are black feel Zimmerman should be acquitted (all of them that I know of); however, they're all security guards, mostly former LEO and/or military.
I've finally decided that this whole thing mostly boils down to a cultural differnce. Some cultures feel that Zimmerman disrespecting Martin (by following him) justified a beatdown. Those that feel that way also seem to feel Zimmerman is guilty. Those that realize LEGALLY Martin had no right to attack seem to feel Zimmerman is innocent (of a crime).

Only if they think (wannabe) criminals should be allowed to preemptively attack (wannabe) cops with deadly force without facing deadly force in response. Because that's really what the prosecution is arguing when you strip away the fertilizer.

I think the argument is more specific....though while not stated....implied: black criminals should be allowed to give a beat down when they're dissed.

It just seems like a lot of people are determined to make Z pay for T's death, and make a big example against self defense laws.... and guns. If Z gets off, then the liptards will say he only needed one bullet, not 15. When it comes right down to it, my prediction is, sadly there will be riots. Z will have to move far away and look over his shoulder for the rest of his life.

It applies to unlawful force, note - and under both the Florida and Texas statutes, shooting is a last resort (as it should be); you can't stand there and use a gun to end a fist-fight that you provoked and you're losing.

Bottom line of what I was getting at is - if you provoked it, you'll have a really hard time convincing a jury that you were defending yourself in response. I didn't say it was impossible - just a very long shot, and I firmly believe that because of the "reasonable man" concept. A reasonable man does not provoke a fight, uses a gun because he was losing when he had other options of escape - and then turns around and claims self-defense. Legal or not, if I were on such a jury, I would use every bit of jury nullification to send such a person to prison.

Zimmerman's brother and family in California in hiding due to being a target. No love for Obama.
