mo peepee

  • From the parent organization of Neighborhood Watch, the National Sheriff's Organization, from their manual- "Patrol members should be trained by law enforcement. It should be emphasized to members that they do not possess police powers and they shall not carry weapons or pursue vehicles. They should also be cautioned to alert police or deputies when encountering strange activity. Members should never confront suspicious persons who could be armed and dangerous. Patrol members can be equipped for their duties. For example, flashlights or searchlights are necessary for night patrols. Many mobile patrols use cell phones or two-way radios to contact a citizen-manned base station, which in turn contacts law enforcement officials when necessary." During the patrols I did in Neighborhood watch, we were told NOT to carry weapons. And there is no reason why Zimmerman, if truly threatened could not have carried pepper spray or a stun gun, etc. Attitudes and Gun laws in our nation need to change. Especially in Florida.

    • Ciarán Ó Doċartaiġ 1 mace would not have stopped him from getting his head beaten through the concrete. 2 skittles and a soft drink are apparently 2/3 ingredients for a drug Martin's phone records indicate he used, which would explain why he was out in "f###ing cold rain", and makes him not look so innocent as that out of date picture implies

    • Chris Taylor-Caitlin How about the evidence that Zimmerman armed himself with a gun and pursued an unarmed kid at night? Said kid had no gun and no drugs. Kid defended himself. He was unarmed -- and he got shot. Drugs in his system at that time? Your evidence comes from where? This is Zimmerman's fault.

    • Ciarán Ó Doċartaiġ 1 neither is there any evidence Zimmerman was in any way in violation of the law. 2. when their own text messages express drug use? yeah, actually. 3 nice straw man 3a. do you mean to tell me that there was any evidence of him having dinner something Illegal that would have justified Martin jumping on him and beating him while he was down?

    • Ciarán Ó Doċartaiġ what you seem willfully refusing to accept is that there is Clear Evidence that Zimmerman was facing deadly force when he was on his back beating beaten by Martin, and that there is Zero evidence (that I'm aware of) that Zimmerman used Any force prior to being told that he was "going to die"

Ah, no: the Florida "justice system" succeeded there, in a very permanent way. And the contortions you white-supremacist types go through to defend GZ and this law are grotesque.

    • Eric Steinberg Actually, the words I was looking for are "morally reprehensible". The "Stand Your Ground" law is morally reprehensible. Using Florida law to defend this killing is doubly so. The law was promulgated by NRA and ALEC and is racist, in intent and effect. Not to mention affect.

    • Canis Scot Eric, your bigotry is showing. As a teacher with 20 years in 100% minority schools in south central LA, a career Army Officer/NCO who served in 100% integrated units, as a mixed race American and a father to a Chinese born daughter I am very competent when I label you as such. By the way Zimmerman is also a mixed race American.
