The State of Florida vs George Zimmerman: The Trial

Ahhh...so you think a wife should commit crimes in order to keep her husband out of prison.

In theory at least, an honest and competent DA should almost never be in the position of holding somebody in jail for a year or more awaiting trial, and then have a jury declare the person totally not guilty. When that happens, ideally, the DA should spend a year or more in prison thinking it over.

In this case, the intention of the persecutors and the original judge who, you'll remember, got bounced off the case, appeared to be to have GZ in jail or prison long enough that their little political problems might just go away.

Don't expect ordinary people to impute decent motives to you or to anybody like you, Frank, you haven't earned it.

As I have pointed out before, the ONLY people that seem to think it tastes good and is a recipe for "purple drank" are Conservatives trying to defend Zimmerman's action.

The cost is a lot less then having the speed limit on our highways in the 60s 70s MPH instead say 45 MPH for example in terms of dollars and lives.

Second footnote having an armed citizenry can be a life saver when government break down in an area for whatever reason such as south florida in 1992 or south California in the late 1880s. Just two examples in US history.

So many people on these threads have blinders on that they can't see the obvious racial bigotry in this country.

That's because they are too busy contributing to the racial bigotry in this country, C.I.

But Shellie Zimmerman didn't have to lie to keep her husband out of jail--they had adequate assets in his legal defense fund to meet the amount needed for bail--that's what the Zimmermans were trying to hide, along with the existence of his second passport.

The judge jacked up Zimmerman's bail, after all the lying and concealment was exposed, because he rightly assumed that Zimmerman was planning to flee the country with the hidden assets and his second passport. The high bail set the second time around, along with the ankle monitor he had to wear, was to prevent him from skipping town.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Zimmerman are untrustworthy liars.

They certainly lied to the judge about their assets...and they should be held to account for those lies.

If you want to discuss the economics of the gun culture in this country with BillRM, please do it in another thread, spendi.

hat is the US getting out of 300,000,000 guns apart from a millstone round its collective neck. You're un-American. Un-patriotic

What's the economic advantage of 300,000,000 guns in circulation?

What's the economic advantage of 300,000,000 guns in circulation?

That's not about economics, it's about freedom and preventing tyranny.

crux of this subject. It's called "racial profiling" by Zimmerman.

No the assault and the attempted murder by Trayvon that is the crux of the matter.

That's not about economics, it's about freedom and preventing tyranny.

NRA Offers Membership Discounts to Young Black Adults
Jul 19, 2013

The National Rifle Association announced it is offering membership discounts to young black men and women who join the organization.

In a statement, the gun-rights group highlighted last year's fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin and the number of deaths of unarmed black men as evidence that African-Americans need to join them in supporting gun rights and self-defense laws across the country.

"Had Mr. Trayvon Martin been legally allowed to arm and defend himself, this tragic case might have had a different outcome," the NRA said in a statement. "Instead, an unarmed man – who was legally prohibited from purchasing a gun – was unable to defend himself and was killed by another man who did have a gun.

"The NRA believes in defending the Second Amendment rights of all Americans. This is why we have decided to offer membership discounts, through Aug. 31, to African-Americans, ages 18-25, who can join us in defending their right to keep and bear arms for protection.

"If you are tired of reading about young, unarmed African-Americans being killed, then join us today and fight for your right to defend yourself."

Protestors took to the streets in several cities following the acquittal of George Zimmerman, 29, who fatally shot Martin, 17, in Sanford, Fla., last year. Zimmerman's attorneys argued that the former neighborhood watch volunteer fatally shot the unarmed Martin in self-defense after Martin allegedly attacked him. Zimmerman was following Martin around his Sanford neighborhood because he thought Martin looked "suspicious."

The NRA said the Zimmerman/Martin case was also a reminder of how "unarmed black men are too often the victims of violence in the United States" and encouraged people who were upset about the verdict to become active in promoting their right to defend themselves.

The NRA added it will be sponsoring workshops in African-American neighborhoods aimed at educating residents about the controversial "Stand Your Ground" laws, which enable a person to use force in self-defense if they believe they are under threat.

The NRA also stated it will focus its efforts in a similar Florida case involving Jordan Davis, an unarmed black 17-year-old who was fatally shot in an SUV allegedly by 46-year-old Michael Dunn, a white man, because Davis and his friends allegedly refused to turn down their music.

"We are beginning efforts to lobby federal and state governments to reduce the legal minimum age for law-abiding Americans to purchase and own guns to 15 years old. This would allow all law-abiding teenagers to enjoy the same gun rights and legal protections as adults in defending themselves from attackers."

"We all must look at all of these tragic cases and say, 'Never again!' "
