Absolutely not as bad, just too slow for my liking.Originally Posted by M Joy
I just started watching the trial. (missed opening statements yesterday). He can't be worse than Nurmi, can he?
Please, I am having enough trouble with West.
I noticed that too. You're not alone with the issues about crooked things.
To answer that you really must watch the beginning of the defense opening statement where West told a knock knock joke and then his non apology for his tastelessness right after the lunch breakI just started watching the trial. (missed opening statements yesterday). He can't be worse than Nurmi, can he?
West is a slimmer, balding version of Nurmi
President of the HOA is a little combative.
Here is Zimmerman lawyer West's opening with the knock knock jokeI just started watching the trial. (missed opening statements yesterday). He can't be worse than Nurmi, can he?
You know, he was just walking down the street. Something you or your own kids could do. I'm not sure how you can equate any ass kicking as TM fault, when he was the one approached by someone armed. Truly baffling.
This case is like seeing through glass. It doesn't take a whole lot of logic or deliberation. If your defense in 'waiting for the facts' is supported by "wind noise" you live in a very special world. As far as debates go, basically everything that throws GZ in the dog house has already been posted in this thread, and rehashing information is wasteful and annoying. If you're not interested in going back and reading it, that's your choice - but it makes any "debate" argument you want to use pretty null and void.
Freethinker, if you think this comment comes from someone without a "position" on this case, you're fucking delusional. And as I've said before, anyone pretending not to have a position on this case is a GZ supporter making a horribly fail attempt at hiding in the closet.
On another note, I'm going to make a simple request that will help this thread not turn into the JA thread:
Can we please refrain from posting four word reactions to real time trial feed? Not everyone can watch this trial as it airs live, and it makes the thread very confusing and cluttered.
I know...he was SO lame...lol!

I would be watching them now but my phone is refusing to play some youtube videos- all of which relate to George Zimmerman. I'll have to catch up later
Not true. Also, this kind of groupthink is what I was hoping this thread would not devolve into.
I don't think it is group think as you call it. The facts are simple, had GZ stayed in the car or identified himself instead of skulking around this kid wouldn't be dead. Those are the facts. I freely admit to having an opinion about this case.
And you are sure, absolutely sure he was JUST walking down the street? I'm not. I WASN'T there, were you?

It's not your place to call me "fuckin delusional". It seems to be obvious YOU have taken a position. Just because every word I write doesn't point to GZ as bad, means nothing.
If you remember correctly (and you don't) GZ followed, but did not approach TM, the recording clearly states "he's coming towards me", nor was a gun out when they came in contact with each other initially.
Can we stop with the buzzwords too?
Groupthink is not multiple people sharing a point of view. Orwell is spinning in his grave.
Also I refuse to believe a rational person can look st this situation and say " Maybe GZ was just taking a walk too". Right. And seal team six happened to be vacationing and dropped in on bin laden for tea

If you think that remark is from someone with no position on this case, it is fucking delusional. That's my opinion, and it is my place.
I'm also not sure how you equate someone following a pedestrian in a car and getting out of said car as anything short of an approach. I never said his gun was out - I said he was armed. Because he was - since I can remember correctly. There was never any defense from GZ other than he "looked suspicious". Nothing specific that he was doing anything wrong, such as peeking in cars, or going up to house windows.... TM was on the phone (recordings to prove) with nothing but junk food on his person. Where is your evidence to presume he might have been doing anything else?
He also had NONE of GZ's DNA on him after autopsy, so said "assbeating on GZ" is going to be pretty hard to prove. A couple scratches on someones face is no evidence of grave danger.
You really need a massive dose of perspective. God forbid any creep stalk you when you're out after dark.
You can't follow a trial this intense and see-through without having ANY opinion one way or another. If you claim not to, you're lying.
It's sort of hard not to have a position on this case if you actually look at ALL the evidence. Said evidence does not have to be rehashed but suffice to say, a young black man is dead and a Hispanic man shot him after ignoring a request not to follow him. Those are facts and cannot be disputed.
Zimmerman is a liar. Period. That's what I'm basing my opinion on.
And let us not forget he had the gun with a bullet in the chamber. If you aren't looking for trouble you wouldn't have the gun ready to fire.
O'Mara is such a slime bag.
Facinating stuff. Dont carry a "ready to fire" gun in a CCW state (even if you are legally allowed to). If you do, you must be out to kill a black person. And dont forget that message board 'crime sleuths' will selectively ignore any physical violence you may be reacting to when on a Monday Morning Witchhunt.
Why bother have a trial...some of the people here should just get off their duffs and lynch Zimmerman...less of a circlejerk than what's going on here now
He is NOT a nice man, again if you choose to look for the information, it is out there, so I am very tired of hearing "I am waiting to hear the evidence" The FACTS do not change as someones' sig here so kindly points out to us. He just changed his target, they were talking about how he had even turned his mothers electricity off ? I have not had time to look for that one but he is and has long been looking to pick a fight-
This one is a 7-year old Myspace page called “only to be king again” that makes disparaging comments about Mexicans. The Web page, which his attorney confirmed Tuesday is legitimate, makes reference to 2005 criminal cases and a brush in court with a woman who Zimmerman called his “ex-hoe.”
There are several photos of Zimmerman on the page, and in one of them he appears to be wearing the same orange polo shirt that he donned in his 2005 police mug shot. Zimmerman used the name “Joe G.” on the site, and posted a biography that mentions he grew up in Manassas, Va., had recently opened an insurance business and missed all his friends.
Last month, a Zimmerman Myspace page under the username “datniggytb” was taken down.
The Joe G page includes a missive written in street slang.
“I dont miss driving around scared to hit mexicans walkin on the side of the street, soft ass wanna be thugs messin with peoples cars when they aint around (what are you provin, that you can dent a car when no ones watchin) dont make you a man in my book,” the 2005 Myspace page said. “Workin 96 hours to get a decent pay check, gettin knifes pulled on you by every mexican you run into!”
Another line suggested his friends went to jail and did not rat him out. “They do a year and dont ever open thier [sic] mouth to get my ass pinched.”
The pictures posted on the page including several with an ethnically diverse group of friends. The blog section boasts about having two felonies knocked down to misdemeanors and describes a court battle with an ex-girlfriend. Zimmerman faced two felonies in 2005 for obstructing justice and battery on a law enforcement officer, but the cases were reduced to misdemeanor simple battery, and he was left with no criminal conviction on his record.
Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara, confirmed the page was his client’s, and that it was abandoned in 2005.

Well said! There is no doubt in my mind. Zimmerman went looking for trouble on that night, and he found it. And he's now trying to appear as though he was justified in his actions. He wasn't. He profiled this kid, stalked him, and killed him......with no cause to do so. None.Can we stop with the buzzwords too?

My bite is worse than my bark!
How can you possibly read the stories on this very site and not realize that not everyone who has a gun has any business with one? If you can then seriously there is no help for you and I truly pray it is never one of your loved ones that runs into one of those gun nuts
GZ is a zombie -- he has to be drugged?
You know -for people disparaging the majority of posters in this thread who believe GZ is criminally responsible for the death of TM (Freethinker, sideways)
You arent doing much to support your stance with facts or address the issues being presented to you. You want a real conversation, address the points being asked of you instead of using condescending buzzwords

Dude...seriously....no RESPECTABLE CCW person or plain jane gun owner EVER EVER carries a gun with a round already in the chamber. I grew up around guns and that is safety lesson #1. Never cock and put a round in the chamber until/unless you plan to use it. Hey...I think I made my point about GZ and his murder of TM...Win Win!
He's not very involved is he?
Like it is all so "above" him or something.
