Zimmerman: Not Guilty

**GrimmReaper** · 07-14-2013, 03:49 PM

Now the next question is when will the civil lawsuit be filed by the NAACP? Ridiculous.

Don't know if it's true or not but if it is that is really bad and will be one of the negatives that will haunt him, well as well as the Obama Care which has already negatively affected me personally by my insurance going up so high already that I keep losing more and more coverage due to the insurance companies raising rates to prepare for the upcoming losses in Obamacare once it takes effect next year. although I'm told a lot of it is now not going to take effect because of lack of money for the first of next year. Obama was over in Africa recently giving billions to one of the towns over there for to build an electric company to power their city. Yet for the first time in the history of our nation our military men and women must suffer because he doesn't care enough to fund the military and their spouses to even be able to celebrate the fourth of july at their military bases. Priorities I guess....

Obama's $7 Billion for African Electricity
By Bill Sweet
Posted 3 Jul 2013 | 15:01 GMT

With respect to the US $7 billion U.S. program to help six African countries upgrade their electric power systems, which President Obama announced on Sunday during his trip to Africa, there are two questions that spring immediately to mind: First, though the United States is a very rich country and the presidency is a very powerful position, does Obama actually have the authority to just write a huge $7 billion check to support a cause he happens to like? And second, is a paltry $7 billion enough to really make a difference?

Anyone want to bet in 1 yr or less this will be gone, destroyed by rebels or at least broke down due to no one knows how to perform maintenance and it stripped for scrap metal.

We spend/waste more money in other countries than we spend at home. Stop giving them stuff like this. Teach them how to Build stuff like this. We do it with water, wells in other countries and in a few months the wells are worthless because it's broke or stripped and sold for scrap.

A 991 operator, whoever he/she is, their job is to distract you as best they can in order to calm you down and to notify the police or other agencies about the situation. That's it, that's their job.

However, it's important to keep in mind that anything you say during your call with a 911 operator can be used against you in court. It can also (apparently) be edited and twisted by certain news outlets to sway the public perception as George Zimmerman learned. When Zimmerman called 911 he said

Zimmerman: There is a suspicious man walking through the neighborhood.
Operator: What is suspicious?
Zimmerman: He's wearing a hoodie and walking through people's yards. (something to that affect)
Operator: What does he look like?
Zimmerman: He's a black man.

When the call was aired on the news originally, it was aired as follows:
Zimmerman: There is a suspicious man walking through the neighborhood.
Operator: What is suspicious?
Zimmerman: He's a black man.

Talk about twisted.

Yeah and they are still doing this BS, taking things out of context to twist it. Yeah he was reported walking through yards and also the back side of houses. Isnt that suspicions? If he was walking down the sidewalk eating his Skittles I bet nothing would have ever happened.

You know what I do when it looks like someone is watching me? I DONT try to hide or get away (suspicions) I look at them and wave. I have been asked what I am doing many times by police, security and even residence. Easy enough to answer, looking for and address, going to this or that place. Coming back from xyz.

It could have been avoided but I put the blame on Travon for being the aggressor. To back Zimmerman hadnt had more fighting lessons and just laid the punk out on the sidewalk like he deserved.

Every one is a media puppet. Filling up on whatever they pour. Do any of you truly even care about this? If you do, it's because the media made you, not because you really do. There are awful crimes and murders committed each and every day in this country.. Human trafficking galore.. But do we have these heated discussions about that? No.. Why?.. Because the media hasn't made you addicted to the subject.

The Martin/Zimmerman case, whomever says this case isn't about race, and all the anger and hate going on everywhere as a result isn't about race is either ignorant or ignorant.. It's completely about race... Just like the media made it. I'm not drinking the cool-aid on this or any of the other crap they put out there.

I will say this though.. Do I care about Martin.. No. Do I care about Zimmerman.. No. I despise the media and what they're all about and I say to hell with them.

They've created so much hate out there since this verdict and they LOVE it.. Get it? This is all about ratings people.. They did their job.. Don't be a puppet.

that's when he was attacked.

It's a discussion board. No one has to discuss anything if they don't want to.

**spywizard** · 07-14-2013, 10:56 PM

How many black men died in Chicago in the past month due to black on black crime???

can't really tell, but in 2012 the # was 40..

I guess Igifuno is correct, we really don't care now do we??

True but you do see his point? We are still being lead by the media hype one way or another. It's a valid point.

Sure. But that wasn't my point.

**Armykid93** · 07-14-2013, 11:50 PM

After reading this ENTIRE thread I have two things to comment.

1: I am wondering if gixx will ever say anything I agree with

2: I'm happy with the verdict and really believe Zimmerman was innocent, although my prayers go out to the family who lost a son. I also think its disgusting that people are rioting but I didn't expect less. Funny how not a single news station is airing that.

What ever, this country allows it.

**Negative Knight** · 07-15-2013, 02:11 AM

OJ was acquitted and nobody rioted, I don't understand why people are threatening to riot as a result of Zimmerman being found NG, although unless he has the resources to go into hiding he will be murdered. Also, if Zimmerman was black, would anyone care...? Or if Trayvon was white would anybody complain?

Haven t you heard? There is no such thing as a hate crime if it's against someone Caucasian.
Think of it this way. Those who have less..... lets say education, during a disagreement tend to speak louder, yell, call names and many times become physically violent where those who are more... educated tend to speak clearer and argue/disagree/debate using facts instead of fists.

As you said.
OJ found not guilty = no riots,
Rodney King beaten by cop = riots,
Reginald Denny beaten nearly to death by blacks = no riot
MLK assassination = riots
1965 power outage NY = 134 stores looted, 45 of them set ablaze.
1977 power outage NY = 1,616 stores were damaged in looting and rioting. 1,037 fires

The list goes on and these are mostly all African American communities.

Here is a good list if you want to take the time to read.

Igifuno you need to learn how to read the sarcasm into post. Even I could see austinite was just being a smart a$$. But then again when is austinite not being a smart a$$?

'Seemed', which would be your assumption, which is wrong, by the way. I would never want to silence everyone, and I have always been respectful on this board.

Telling me not to be a smart ass is assuming I was being one, which again you're wrong. I wanted to know what your point was pal.

Absolutely ridiculous

You just hit it right on target! These same people who are doing the rioting and protesting could care less about Trayvon. Most know nothing about him or his family or their wishes. These are as you stated opportunistic criminals bent on using a situation like this to rob and steal all under the guise of discrimination in hopes of getting away with it all. Everyone of these rioting people should be put in jail IMO..

**lovbyts** · 07-15-2013, 08:00 PM

Oh Geez, now they are interviewing people who witnessed for Travon on Pierse Morgan. Yet one more reason to dislike him and wish Great Britain would let him go back. Of course Pierse Morgan is using it as another reason to bash gun owners.

Travon's fat friend he was talking to at the time sue looks and acts like an opportunist and is loving being in the media light. You know how sometimes you can look at someone when they are tell a story and you know this is just another fish story. That's what I see/feel when I see he. I like how they are saying she is not lying, she is just telling the truth in her own way. WTF???

It's to bad there is no respect for the legal system anymore and it's based more on why is the loudest outcry from.

Like I said earlier. The way less educated people win a debate is by being louder, calling names, blame and being physical instead of using logic, facts and discussion.

I wish Zimmerman could sew the media for ruining his life and future. Hopefully he can get some kind of book deal or something to help get his life back sometime in the future.

The funny thing is they say lie detector test are not admissible in court, BUT if you dont take one you are presumed guilty and they will bring it up in court. If you take one and fail part of it they will bring it up in court and use it against you. If you take it and pass they typically dont say anything.

It seems more and more you go to court/trial it's not up to the prosecution to prove you guilty but it's more you have to prove you are innocent.

I agree with that.
its supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. and I heard a commentator on tv say that Zimmerman wasn't found innocent just there wasn't enough evidence to be found guilty
