Sourcing Trayvon Martin “Photos” From Stormfront

Once again you're irrational, and don't even follow the law.

You see... it's because you and apparently I cannot comprehend properly. Only the emotional brain trust of irrational knee jerk responders truly can understand.
 
So just so I get this straight: I see your guys young son down in Florida outside of
Bush gardens or something and I feel he is up to no good same situation I should do what Zimmerman did because it's your
Kids fault? Please enlighten me of your views.

It's difficult to argue an appeal to emotion fallacy....

That's why the law exists you see. Victims family's are not going to think logically, or follow the law as they're emotionally distraught. The law exists, judges exist, jury's exist and the police exist to take a factual and impartial view when the family's of victims cannot. They rely on physical and circumstantial evidence not emotional appeals which benefit no one. Zimmerman is responsible for the death of another human being... if he is at fault in any way for that per Florida State law, he should be held accountable. Period. Problem is, we have an overabundance of emotional outbursts and not enough facts and evidence.

The fact is he disregarded what a dispatcher told him and shot a child. The fact is this silly law needs repealed. If the kid burst into his house that's one thing. What he did is another thing altogether.

The dispatcher has no authority - yes he ignored the dispatchers request to stop following Martin. The law is fine IMO. I'm not sure how it's being applied in this case, since this case has not even been reviewed by a Grand Jury yet.
 
The fact is he disregarded what a dispatcher told him

Which means what? That Martin had every right to confront and attack Zimmerman?


...and shot a child.

A 17 year old, who would be tried as an adult if the shoe was on the other foot, is hardly what anyone without an agenda would call a "child". I saw some of his tweets and "child" is the last description that comes to mind.
 
Could it even be cauliflower? That would make sense in this context, right?

The only context there is is a neighborhood watch following someone he thinks is suspicious.

False. I am asssuming that Zimmerman is racist because I heard the word coon.

That is a lie.You heard no such word in the audio because the part after ****ing is practically inaudible. It could be any word.

You realize that those examples are in a totally different context than what we are talking about right? Nobody is going to mistake any of those people as a threat to themselves.

Being followed and watched like you might be doing something suspicious by a security guard,store is no different than neighborhood watch guy following and watching you like you are doing something suspicious.

Did the guy have a neighborhood watch uniform on that proclaimed his status like how qa store clerk, security guard, or police officer would have such a uniform?

Don't know don't care. Being followed does not give you the right to assault someone.If it did then a lot of store clerks, security guards, police and other people would be in trouble.



Yeah we do. We know for a fact that shortly after Trayvon certainly noticed that he was being followed/stared at by Zimmerman he ran away (and we also know that he had no other reason to run away since he was not doing anything wrong). All it takes is a very small amount of common sense applied to what Zimmerman is saying in the 911 tapes to draw the conclusion I have reached.


OK, then test your theory out.

Oh, ****, then someone had better tell the rapists and muggers of the world that they are doing it wrong since they follow and stare at people all the ****ing time. Too bad they don't have you around to inform them that the only reason anyone ever stares at or follows someone is if they find them suspicious.

Although if you are so certain that it is so non-threatening to be followed by and stared at by a person why not test your theory out? Follow a stranger around, stare at them. When they run away, find them again and continue to stare at them and follow them. I'm sure they'll kindly turn towards you and say "I'm so sorry, good sir, I hope I didn't raise your suspicions somehow. I am a law abiding citizen who would never do anything wrong. You can certainly trust me, dear sir."

There's no way they'd feel threatened by you. I mean, your behavior would be like the least threatening behavior in the history of mankind. There are new born babies that pose more of a threat than a stranger following someone around staring at them, right? Surely that stranger is a perfectly normal and non-threatening individual who is simply just a tad suspicious of them because they happen to be in their presence.

It's not like this person might have a gun or anythi... oh, ****, I guess it is possible the stranger might have a gun. But even still, there is certainly no chance that you could end dead in such a scenario... Oh wait, yeah.. yeah you could. But despite that, it's definitely not threatening behavior. Nope, not in the least.

Again being followed does not warrant assaulting someone. Is "Judge I thought he was following me so I assaulted him" a reasonable defense?
 
As I said before in another post. You people are sick for simply not saying "Hey this adult shot and killed a child there should be extreme ramifications."

If that "child" is physically assaulting someone then the person being assaulted has the right to use lethal force to defend himself.
 
The fact is he disregarded what a dispatcher told him and shot a child. The fact is this silly law needs repealed. If the kid burst into his house that's one thing. What he did is another thing altogether.

Its beliefs/opinions vs facts

Why? You are unable to decide something on the facts, the law and you're swayed almost overwhelmingly by your own emotions.
 
The picture of him when he was 12 years old (the one the media uses in the "Hollister" shirt) works for their agenda. The ones that depict him at age 17 just doesn't gin up public symathy and fuel the fires of a race war.


This is exactly why they chose a picture of him at 10-12 years old instead a recent. This is spur more sympathy for the alleged murder victim, to attack stand your ground laws and to turn public opinion against Zimmerman. I am pretty sure that somewhere there are sine recent picture of Martin in prom tux, some church clothes or even some normal casual clothes that makes him appear squeaky clean.
 
Seeing how the part after ****ing is practically inaudible it could be anything.Because you are assuming that Zimmerman is a racist you attribute that practically inaudible word to coon.



Following a person is not seeking a confrontation, nor does it warrant assaulting someone. It it did then a lot of store clerks, security guards and police would be getting their ass whipped.




He was followed by a neighborhood watch guy that thought he was doing something suspicious and was trying to get away



You have no evidence of that.





Again following someone is not seeking out a confrontation.



Following and starring at someone means you think that person is suspicious and you don't want them trying to take your **** just like a store clerk or security guard following and or staring someone in a store.

Bearing in mind of course that store clerks security gaurds and cops are usually wearing uniforms of some kind.
 
^ That's the longest totally of not relevancy to the topic personal flaming someone out of the basement I've seen in a while.

Do you have any comments on the topic of this thread discussion.


Report it if you have a problem with it, but don't bother playing George Zimmerman Captain of the Neighborhood Watch.
 
The only context there is is a neighborhood watch following someone he thinks is suspicious.

****in' cauliflower!

That is a lie.You heard no such word in the audio because the part after ****ing is practically inaudible. It could be any word.

How the **** do you know what I heard or did not hear?



Being followed and watched like you might be doing something suspicious by a security guard,store is no different than neighborhood watch guy following and watching you like you are doing something suspicious.

If you reject all reality and insert some mythical reality where the two things are identical, it's exactly the same thing. But in the reality that actually exists, they are quite different.

Don't know don't care. Being followed does not give you the right to assault someone.If it did then a lot of store clerks, security guards, police and other people would be in trouble.

Like I said, go on out and test your theory.

Again being followed does not warrant assaulting someone. Is "Judge I thought he was following me so I assaulted him" a reasonable defense?

If a person reasonably believes that the follower is a threat to cause them great bodily harm or even death, or that the follower will commit a felony against them, they are justified in standing their ground and defending themselves, even so far as using deadly force in Florida.
 
I would think the story is the photos are questionable based on the source.

The story is, the Libbo media got busted pimping pics of Martin when he was 12...not 17.
 
The dispatcher has no authority - yes he ignored the dispatchers request to stop following Martin. The law is fine IMO. I'm not sure how it's being applied in this case, since this case has not even been reviewed by a Grand Jury yet.

So then you have no problem with a law that essentially says if a couple of trick o treaters come up to your door dressed like cops and robbers with toy guns, you could technically shoot them? A law that even a lot of law enforcement thinks is bs?


Which means what? That Martin had every right to confront and attack Zimmerman?




A 17 year old, who would be tried as an adult if the shoe was on the other foot, is hardly what anyone without an agenda would call a "child". I saw some of his tweets and "child" is the last description that comes to mind.

There is far less conclusive evidence that the kid did anything to him. Are you telling me that "if" a kid punches you in the nose that gives you the right to kill him? What kind of "man" is that?

As for trying 17 year olds as adults, give them full legal adult rights at 17 then try them. His tweets as you say are in question, and there are many faked accounts out there. Even so the kid for all I know was a total asshole. Most likely, being that he was 17 I would almost guarantee he was. When I was 17, I had long grungy hair, 2 eyebrow rings in one eyebrow, wore System of a Down shirts and had baggy jeans. No one at school would ever **** with me because I was 6'1 220 lbs of punk kid. Anymore, what someone says when they are 13 on up to 17 really has little difference. So what was the point in your post other than trying to justify the murder of an unarmed child?

If that "child" is physically assaulting someone then the person being assaulted has the right to use lethal force to defend himself.

So let me so if I am following you on this one. If anyone, child or not gets into a fist fight with you out in the street you have the right to stab or shoot that person?

This is exactly why they chose a picture of him at 10-12 years old instead a recent. This is spur more sympathy for the alleged murder victim, to attack stand your ground laws and to turn public opinion against Zimmerman. I am pretty sure that somewhere there are sine recent picture of Martin in prom tux, some church clothes or even some normal casual clothes that makes him appear squeaky clean.

You're gonna love this one, I totally forgot to mention this in my own derailing of this thread, but the picture of that badass kid? That isn't him. Yep, whatever "reputable" news source you got that from isn't all that reputable. Of course anyone could tell the difference couldn't they? Well wait, you probably couldn't could you? That is what is so hilarious about all the **** you posted! You can't! Neither can any of the other concerned totally unracist citizens that posted those cute little pictures showing Zimmerman in a suit, and the other kid.


Anyways, it's been swell guys.If you are wanting to talk about this in one of the other 500 threads about this topic I would be more than happy to.

Thinking someone is following you does not warrant you assaulting that person. Normal people ask why are you following me, what the **** are you following me for, got a problem with me, and etc. Again if being followed or thinking you are being followed gave you a license to assault people a lot of security guards, store clerks, cops and so on would be getting their ass whipped.

As long as you are the one who starts the assault ,Yes I have to the right to use lethal force to stop you.

Its no more reputable or honest than a news source posting a picture of what appears to be a 12 year old instead of a recent photo of a 6 foot 3 inch tall seventeen year old. This is a blatant dishonest attempt by the media to stir emotion and hatred.
 
As long as you are the one who starts the assault ,Yes I have to the right to use lethal force to stop you.

That isn't true. If I slap you across the face, you do not have the legal right to hit me over the head with a baseball bat. Get real.

Just say, "You're right," or clarify your statement or something. That's just silly.
 
So then you have no problem with a law that essentially says if a couple of trick o treaters come up to your door dressed like cops and robbers with toy guns, you could technically shoot them?
If the trick or treaters attack you at your door and slam you into the ground... no I have no issue with the homeowner bustin' a cap in dey ass.

A law that even a lot of law enforcement thinks is bs?
Apparently not enough of law enforcement since it passed the state assembly, legislature and was signed into law. :shrug:

There is far less conclusive evidence that the kid did anything to him. Are you telling me that "if" a kid punches you in the nose that gives you the right to kill him? What kind of "man" is that?
A man who felt his life may be in danger. While I understand your discounting what you don't want to believe as far as evidence... fact is there's little evidence so far. What of it there is especially by Zimmerman is corroborated by the eyewitnesses. You discount that because it doesn't follow the narrative you want to emotionally believe. Which is why the court systems and legal system is in place - so they can address evidence without injecting the emotions.

As for trying 17 year olds as adults, give them full legal adult rights at 17 then try them. His tweets as you say are in question, and there are many faked accounts out there. Even so the kid for all I know was a total asshole.
I don't know if the twitter account is fake or not. If it's real... well... all I can say is the kid had issues. If it's fake, it was a few month long fake account that seemed very convincing.

Most likely, being that he was 17 I would almost guarantee he was. When I was 17, I had long grungy hair, 2 eyebrow rings in one eyebrow, wore System of a Down shirts and had baggy jeans. No one at school would ever **** with me because I was 6'1 220 lbs of punk kid. Anymore, what someone says when they are 13 on up to 17 really has little difference. So what was the point in your post other than trying to justify the murder of an unarmed child?
You went from considering 17 year old and giving them full adult rights to "unarmed child"? The characterization of child doesn't fit...

So let me so if I am following you on this one. If anyone, child or not gets into a fist fight with you out in the street you have the right to stab or shoot that person?
If that 6' "child" of 17, assaults me in Florida, decks me and pounds my head in the ground and I feel my life is in danger, yes, I shoot him and I shoot to kill.

You're gonna love this one, I totally forgot to mention this in my own derailing of this thread, but the picture of that badass kid? That isn't him.

I'd love to see the sourced information that identifies the pictures are not him. Post the links please...
 
The "****in' Coons" at 2:20 is pretty racist.



That, and the fact that he actively seeks out confrontations with people (or "****in' coons") and shoots them after the altercation begins.





He sought the kid out and began an altercation with him after following and staring at the kid despite the fact that the 911 dispatcher told him not to do that.

See, this stupid **** doesn't realize that when you stare at someone for an extended period of time while following them, you becomes a suspicious looking person who might want to do the innocent person you are staring at harm. When you then seek out an altercation with that innocent person, they might even feel compelled to defend themselves. When you then shoot and kill them, you prove they were perfectly justified in thinking the pusy **** following them was a threat to them and that they were justified in attempting to defend themselves when said asshole tries to start an altercation with them.



I don't care which one of them was screaming for help. I really don't. As I said earlier, I don't give a **** if Martin threw the first punch in the altercation. Zimmerman initiated the altercation.

If he had listened to the dispatcher instead of pretending he was John Wayne, an innocent person would not be dead right now.

Think about it as a human being: Some dickhead is staring at you and then starts following you around when you are just going about your day. You try to run away from him, but he still follows you. then he comes at you again. What do you do?

Personally, I'm going to try to defend myself against the creepy goofball.

So the simple fact that Zimmerman was looking for an altercation with martin is all that we need to know he's a murdering douchebag.

Why don't you do this forum a favor and change your lean status. It's pure dishonesty to put Conservative in your status when you're obviously a typical race baiting Liberal blinded by your misguided far left ideology.

Anyways, it's been swell guys.If you are wanting to talk about this in one of the other 500 threads about this topic I would be more than happy to.

6' 3" isn't a "kid" to most people.
Do you really think a person must agree to only defend he/herself without a weapon when under attack? That a woman can not?

I actually tried to figure it statistically one time across my life. How many "fights" (real world) fights I had been in and how many I saw. Though not typical for certain, the those numbers are around 2,000 and 20,000 by age 16. I could have rather easily quickly downed and done about anything I wanted to men of more docile, ordinary society if were to become necessary for me to so. This level significantly reduced after that, but did not become rare until about 4 years ago when I dramatically changed my life circumstances and environment for the 3rd time. As an adult, I was detained, questioned and even arrested a few times for matters concerning "assault." The question was never if violence was justified on my part, but rather was the level of harm to the other person excessive?

That is not an easy question for law enforcement to decide with perfect clarity. They had to make a judgment call each time. Generally, they knew 1.) I was within my rights to use physical violence against the other person in a defense of others or myself, 2.) it wasn't really a fair fight in terms of skills, in the sense the other person essentially had no chance of winning 3.) I probably had the person unable to proceed with threat or assault without as much injury done and 4.) I could have easily continued to do far greater, even permanent or lethal, harm to the person but did not. With that, they had to decide had I shifted from reasonable defense to unreasonable and has I shifted from being defensive to assaultive? Those really not simplistic questions with absolute answers.

My brief explanation, wording actually by an attorney, was that I had acted in defense or others or myself against assault or reasonably believed imminent assault based upon the words or actions of the other person. What I did responsively was for the purpose of as quickly and in a manner I believed most likely to be successful in disabling the person from being able to injury or continue to injury anyone, myself and to avoid escalation of events that could result in greater injury or death to the other person. With that, the police had to decide if they have basis for an initial arrest, and if so, then whether they really wanted to give it to the DA to consider or just drop it.

There are many cops and ex-cops on this forum too. They can tell you with certainty 1.) for the average man they could not only "beat up" that man, but then could proceed to do serious and even permanent injury or death just with their hands or feet and 2.) even an unskilled person can cause permanent injury or death on a lucky punch or kick.

Once someone knocked you down and had overwhelmed you, they could tear out your eyes (literally and that has happened in "unarmed fights," kill you by stomping on your throat or just a hard punch in the throat, kick your ribs into your lungs, pull so hard on your testicles that you end effectly castrated, and essentially any severe, permanent or lethal damage they way.

The standard of law is what would a reasonable person do? A woman certainly could use a weapon to defend against an attack by the average man. But not if she's an athlete and the man weighing 110 pound and a last-stage dying cancer patient or an elderly Alzheimer's patient who do then to get violent.

When is it "reasonable" for a man to use a weapon to defend against or stop a violent assault or reasonably believed imminent violent assault? There is no absolute answer at all, is there? Some aspects of law are ill-defined and impossible to have perfect clarity.

The question in regards to Zimmerman is would a reasonable man being him in his situation reasonably believe using deadly force (ie a gun) necessary to assured defend against or stop a serious violent assault against him that is or reasonably is believed may cause him serious physical injury or death. The age of the other person isn't of itself relevant. The reasonably believed danger and actions of the other person is. Thus, but for injury to the back of Zimmerman's head, probably using deadly force was unreasonable or questionably so. IF his head was being pounded into the concrete, probably it was - though all factors to be considered.

You over-simply if you claim a person cannot use a deadly weapon against an unarmed assault.
