    I guess I have a personal beef with him in the fact that he shot an unarmed american citizen. I dont think TJ would be very hip on that either.
    I admitt that alot is unknown, but what is known is that a kid that committed no crime (other than the beat down he gave zim, which I blame zim for) is now dead.




    Go fuck yourself, you are not my physician, you were not deployed with me, you have never met me. Standing up for a persons right to life and liberties doesnt automatically equal PTSD. Again, go fuck yourself.

    mgrande,.. as a marine, i'd think you are full aware that a human being can severely injure and kill w/ bare hands... this includes a "kid" of age 17, especially if there is rage/animosity or other factors involved... only if you find yourself in a dynamic critical event, do you get to decide what reactions and level of force are "appropriate"... ...certainly you've heard the expression "better to be judged by 12 than carried by six"?... did you listen to the audio of zimmerman screaming for help? it's not like he got decked and then shot the kid... he must have been getting pummeled badly... there is the possibility the investigation will find no legal ground to charge him...

    I agree, but I blame zim for his own beat down. He should have stayed in the safety of his car, but he decided to risk his life in order to play cop. What if the kid was armed? Then zim would be dead because he didnt make the right call. I know its easy to say this after the fact, but that doesnt mean mistakes werent made. Im passionate about this because our government can do something like this to any of us. And being killed without due process should scare all americans.

    yes, i recognize that either one could've made a different move, their trajectories may never have crossed... but i wouldn't put it all on zimmerman, ...i don't find it over the top for a concerned citizen to go for a better look - he probably wanted to give a better description to the operator - we don't know until more comes out... i don't find that, an offensive act - i.e. i don't think he "chased" him, as was promulgated when the story first went viral...

    what do you mean our gov't do what to who?

    Get angry much? Try not to let your ”inner demons” cloud your judgment. And good to hear you are getting help. Stick with it.

    We have left this thrad open as its for the most part been civil. If people are going to start bashing others, and name calling, then we're gonna deal with it as per the COC, and delete this thread. This is the only warning going to be given.

    ...pretty much... of course, this was all by design... the lawsuits that need to come from this are the ones against the LSM outlets who've been caught outright fanning flames of biased and uncorroborated events, and the professional race-baiters; sharpton and jackson et al.
