Ah reverend, may I remind you of the following statement read by all police officers talking at a neighborhood watch gathering.

Neighborhood watch means watch do not shoot.

Or this one an oldie but a goodie.

You can not kill a person just because you suspect him of doing bad things.
If you did that there would be more vigalanties in the street and less crime and what would lawyers do?

It seems the words "innocent until proven guilty" comes to mind.
I think that has something to do with the judicial system of America?:peace

There is no way fat Zimmerman could have chased down Martin. An arial view of the complex has been posted and it known after the 911 call by Zimmerman that Martin was on the phone for 5 minutes. Martin could have run around the whole complex by then, not just a couple hundred yards at the most to his father's house. In additional his girlfriend on the phone stated that he told her that he wasn't going to run.

Zim off the phone with 911 at 7:15.

Police on the scene and Martin already down at 7:17.

You know this, or should.

I am finding out that people like engaging in debate without reading all the information that has previously been discussed.

That pesky clothing; turns ordinary people into criminals every time. It's like magic!!

It is singularly the media that made clothing an "issue." It is no issue at all. Never was. Isn't now. Never will be.

People who focus on Trayvon wearing a hoodie are just sheep toe-stepping to the millionaire political actors on television. It is sad that so many people are so mindlessly dominated in their thinking. But I guess that's why advertising that just stated a product name over and over and over brainwashes so many people. Political actors and politicians - all for their own pocketbooks - on TV just say "hoodie" 10,000 times and soon millions of people are chanting "hoodie. Hoodie. Hoodie" like babies learning how to talk.
 
Ever since he lost his talk show, Geraldo Rivera has been a deperate man constantly begging for FOX employment and to somehow become a relevant person again.

Well, since you could not prove that Lawrence O'donnell is a liar: I knew you couldn't; we'll move on to your next subject in the "casue for Zimmerman" . . .

I'm afraid that you're wrong again. It was Zimmerman's own words that raised the hoodie issue:

Zimmerman 911 Call Transcript – Trayvon Martin « Phoebe's Detention Room

"He looks black" . . . (He's wearing) "a dark hoodie; like a gray hoodie".

So, there's no sheep in the hoddie story; just people following the facts in the case. Others however . . . are just regergitating the party line trying change the focus of the story into "freedom loving liberty caring responsible gun carrying citizen saves neighborhood from evil hoodie wearing black dude who was up to criminal activity and needed to be subdued because that was the heroic thing to do; ("and my dad's a judge, so he'll fix it").

(cough)

Now you go

What party line?

Please provide a link to your quote of "and my dad's a judge, so he'll fix it." I bet you just totally made that up unable to to find any facts to truth to back you up. So you just make up a quote than then quote yourself without saying that's what you're doing.

The 911 tape shows he never mentioned race until asked to do so and asked to describe the person. Your insistence that he should have refusd to answer the dispatchers question is one of the ludicously low arguments made, but you're not the first one to make it.

The right-wing party line.

I did make that up: it's a parenthetical comment; in quotes as if that's what he was thinking, becasue his dad is a judge.

Zimmerman's description is exactly why he (Zimmerman) pursued Martin against the advice of the 911 operator.

Zimmerman's case is falling apart by the minute, so you're clearly in the minority, and please argue form a position of factual stength rather than knee-jerk emotion.
