    But it was nice to see Bill imply racism when he didn't know what the word meant.

    Actually, I'm guessing that most people who kill someone with a gun DO go to jail once they're caught and after a trial.

    Now don't go to far...Ijust mean it is not always a clear cut - you shot and killed someone = you go to jail regardless of the situation. What if someone was breaking into my house at 3AM with a knife? Now get bad to those errands :)

    Oh, I think the issue being argued by a certain few is very, very obvious.

    There's a palpable shift in society right now--who's in charge. And it's just killing people like that. They feel helpless to the change and are lashing out. This, too, shall pass.

    He was carrying two of the three ingredients used to make sizzurp the night he attacked GZ. Bill, they're not my words. I have no idea why it's called that, you'd have to ask someone from that demographic.

    And if not, let's please leave him alone.

    I'm in favor of erring on the side of protecting against false positives. I don't want someone found guilty who is actually innocent wherever possible, even if it means a few people who are guilty are acquitted. It should be a high bar.

    I wanted to try the stuff today, but I looked at the ingredients and HOLY WHAT THE MOTHER OF WOAH!! No respectable human being would ever even experiment with something containing such a dangerous amount of sugar.

    Of course!!!! it is bone chilling frightening to me the number of people that have been proven innocent by DNA testing after being found guilty in court.

    I agree with something both Bill and Rich said?

    Excuse me while I go scratch my eyes out:nana:

    So you are trying to say that most people who shoot and kill someone are found not guilty of any crime?

    I'm right there with you, I don't understand how they get this concept but fail to understand the implications of bringing Zimmerman to trial...what's the disconnect?

    BTW Rich, your at least partially right about me (it not have been directed at me but I still felt it). I mourn the passing of this once great country. You nailed it, end of the day I miss the country I thought would, in part, be mine...I really do. Thanks for reminding me that the best course is to ignore injustice, and mind my own business...I do forget my priorities from time to time.

    Tomorrow or the next day really do matter for poor George Zimmerman, but the damage to the rest of us has already occurred...

    When it's done in self defense it should be pretty close to 100% of the time..so YES.

    Can you name a time when this country was supposedly greater than it is now? Was it greater before women could vote? Before segregation was outlawed? Before child abuse was taken seriously? Before eugenics was put to an end?

    There is a lot that isn't right about the state of the Union, but it could certainly be, and has been, much worse.

    Agree with the bolded portion.

    I agree that our nation is finer and greater now than ever before. Our problems persist, but our freedoms are growing every day. The struggle continues, unfortunately, with those of us who cannot deal with that change.

    If Zimmerman is convicted, I will look forward to the substantiation of allegations made here regarding its alleged unfairness. Not interpretations, but hard facts that demonstrate how justice was miscarried. In other words, quit your complaining and back up your accusations.

    If Zimmerman is acquitted, let's be relieved that an innocent man has gone free, but let's not lose sight of the law that permitted it, and ponder if such a law should continue. But the law as it currently stands is what should be applied to Zimmerman.

    It will be interesting.

    You might be right but the original statement made no mention of self defense.
