[reply][reply]I don’t think it is very unusual to get a warning instead of a ticket. More often than not, I have been given warnings instead of tickets.
I’d also carry a gun if I was him due to the number of people that want him dead.
Who wants him dead?[/reply]

Many don’t agree with the verdict. Many agree with the verdict but don’t agree with the law. But I’ve never heard anybody say that Zimmerman deserves to be killed.
So who wants him dead? I mean…he’s still alive to the best of my knowledge.
Hypothetical situation: Let’s say Zimmerman wears a Tshirt that says “I am Zimmerman” and then goes to East St Louis at 9pm and starts walking around. What odds do you give that he is alive in the morning?
Odds of survival are equal or greater than that of a Skittles-packin’ darkie takin’ a late night shortcut through the middle of Cracker Village.

Seriously? I honestly can’t believe anyone cares. He ain’t the Pope and he ain’t a cast member of the Jersey Shore. He’s just a regular dumbass Joe Blow Doofus who got himself caught up in a really stupid scene where a kid tragically got shot dead.
The case is DONE. It’s over. Finished. If anyone wants to rally for reform of either federal or state gun laws or our supposedly corrupt justice system . . . go for it. But following every footstep and fart of this has been Defendant seems about as fruitful as crying about Justin Bieber Tweeting a pic of himself shirtless on Facebook.
Ironically, it’ll be the pissed off so-called liberals screaming about his unpaid parking tickets, Ed Hardy shirts, and gas-guzzling Hummer for the next year that will eventually earn him a spot on “Dancing With The Stars”.
I saw a MO response to SF’s request for the TM amendment where he offered to help this movement sort the details of the existing laws to author the new wording with the exception that if the pursing person has retreated and then is attacked, the pursuing person can still claim self defense.

Liberals, conservatives, etc. They all want blood from each other and will turn every little thing into a spectacle.
I seriously could imagine this dude on some crappy t.v. show after all the attention idiots are giving him.

This is where things get hairy. Because following someone - in my opinion - does not justify getting attacked in any way. I’ve always viewed retaliation as being something permissible only if the other person(s) make physical contact first. So… uh, basically plain old “self-defense”.
If such a law passes I hope the paprazzi have a hell of a time in Florida. Senior citizens will be selling homes for quadruple their worth to famous tabloid stars. Kanye West will be knocking out douchebags with Nikons or whatever around their necks and Russel Crow will be piledriving motherfuckers like it’s Wrestlemania everyday.
You got it. It is not illegal to follow someone, but it is illegal to stalk someone. Stalkerazzi will have to go to telephoto lens only. Everyone on a public sidewalk better watch out: if a paranoid individual perceives you to be following them and they decide to physically confront you over it, you won’t be able to claim self defense if they attack you and you kill them. (I had a very unpleasant experience with a mentally ill woman on the HW Library platform elevator in Chicago.)
People are so hung up on, “But Mom! He started it!” and SYG (which was never invoked).
However, it doesn’t matter that GZ followed TM; the only parts that matter are that GZ was in fear of his life immediately before pulling the trigger and the physical evidence/witness testimony supports his claim, which is straight up self defense (not SYG). At the time of trigger pull, GZ could not retreat because he was on his back on the ground getting beat by TM sitting on top of him.
Let’s say that GZ touched TM first (there is no evidence to support that GZ touched TM first), TM still does not have the right to punch GZ in the face for touching him. The retaliation has to be like force. Otherwise, Assault and Battery applies.
Again, no matter how much you want something to be true, the evidence does not lie.
A 17-year-old died because both parties made mistakes.
Oh, one more thing: Does anyone think that TM would have gotten into GZ’s truck if GZ had offered TM a ride home in the rain if GZ had offered it immediately?

I disagree. It’s actually one of the dumber things I’ve ever said.

He wrote that that what he wrote was"dumb." so, I was agreeing him. meaning he has his moments where he says stupid shit but that’s most of the time for him.

Yeah… and the sentence, “well you definitely have your most of the times.” makes perfect sense and really helped drive your point home.
