After Monday and they have their last look at this, I sure hope there is not 1 single post bitching about it anymore when they say they are sticking to the whole not pressing charges thing,
Maybe SYG should be rewritten to say 'if you kill and unarmed juvenile' then stand your ground does not apply and you must be charged with a crime.
Treyvon martin never had the chance to defend himself based on the law....zimmerman always had the upper hand.
You can't defend yourslf from bullets with your fist. the law is in favor of Zimmermans shooting juveniles and not having to be held accountable.
Its like telling a rape victim she has to prove she didn't ask for it. Basically Treyvon has to somehow prove he didn't ask for it .
instead of Zimmerman having to prove that Treyvon did ask for it. Smear the victim.

Ah, yes. of course that's what he was going for. And that picture of him riding a horse and the one of him dressed in a tuxedo for his senior prom? MAN, what a thug. Obviously, he wanted to show off his thuggish horse riding pose for the camera but I bet he waited until right after he was done cleaning his room.

That would not work, how would anyone honestly tell the difference between an 17 year old and an 18 year old?

Traeyvaughoawun didn't need to defend himself he was attacking zimmerman.

The law is in favor of victims of violent crimes.

You have no knowledge of the law do you?

No... where do you come up with this stuff? The state has to prove that Trayvaughwawsn didn't deserve to be shot. Innocent until proven guilty.

An inspection of his twitter feed shows exactly how he wanted to be portrayed.

1. It would work. It would put concealed carriers on check. It is not fair in any way, legally, or any other to not be able to meet force with force. The law prevent Treyvon from defending himself yet gave carte blanche to Zimmerman to kill an unarmed teenager. Treyvon should have had the right to defend himself with the force met. ..... laws prevented him from protecting himself from a predatory adult. Predatory adults are the problem not candy eating teenagers.
2. Again, with that statement you discount zimmermans history and lay all the blame on Treyvon with no proof or evidence but the word of the killer. If Zimmerman was black and Treyvon white....I bet this story would be different. Treyvon never would have gotten the benefit of the doubt.
3. No the law is in favor of perpetrators of violent crimes to know before hand that they have a defense for their irresponsible actions. SYG = Vigilantism
4. Yes I do. Rape sheild laws protect a victim of rape....where is the protection for a juvenile victim of vigilantism...it would seem you know nothing of the law.
A vigilante is a private individual (or (pl.) group of individuals) who presumes to carry out extralegal punishment in defiance of existing law.

and an inspection of Zimmermans past legal troubles with aggression and domestic violence shows exactly how he wanted to be portrayed........would you not agree?

I could not understand that, try again.

Again with the strawman, i have never discounted zimmerman's history. I do lay the blame on Treyvalanawawon as he assaulted zimmerman and there is nothing to prove that traeylabowghowun was ever hit with anything other than a justice cannon.
3. No the law is in favor of perpetrators of violent crimes to know before hand that they have a defense for their irresponsible actions. SYG = Vigilantism
You misunderstand, outside of liberal land people are actually responsible for their own actions, so by assaulting zimmerman treylobavaughwwen opened himself to the possibility to getting 9mms of justice.
4. Yes I do. Rape sheild laws protect a victim of rape....where is the protection for a juvenile victim of vigilantism...it would seem you know nothing of the law.
You obviously don't know the law. "Rape Shield laws" just say the defendant cannot use past unrelated sexual conduct against the victim. The rapist can still say she was asking for it as a defense. You also do not know what a vigilante is or what that means
A vigilante is a private individual (or (pl.) group of individuals) who presumes to carry out extralegal punishment in defiance of existing law.
Considering stand your ground is an existing law, Zimmerman was not in defiance of it and therefore could not be a vigilante. Your logic fails...

No, Show me proof that zimmerman was publicly displaying that information for all to see and you will have a point.
1. Let me put it this way. How as Treyvon supposed to protect himself against this predatory adult?
2. You discount his past everytime you bring up something about...
3. I know you can't even phatom this, but for sake of argument, lets just say Zimmerman assaulted Treyvon first, the 17 year old, for argument sake only.
4. Rape shield laws protect the victim ... its the same concept of you guys trying to smear treyvons reputation.
Saying I don't understand the law means nothing.
He resisted arrest with violence in a public bar. How is that not publicly displaying his 'information' ... its actually better proof than your twitter nonsense.
How do you know Treyvons friend or brother didn't hack his account? their is no way to verify who sent tweets....my brothers like to take my phone and tweet like its me....its a thing people do these days...tweets mean nothing......A police record means something...I know not to you, but to the real world it does.

What fact? There's no proof he attacked anyone. You assume he did.

By not assaulting people.
2. You discount his past everytime you bring up something about...
So basically you can just make stuff up? Well every time you post something you are denying the fact that the holocaust happened like some sort of neo-nazi- see how little sense that makes. Stop making stuff up, it makes you look desperate.
3. I know you can't even phatom this, but for sake of argument, lets just say Zimmerman assaulted Treyvon first, the 17 year old, for argument sake only.
And imagine if Traylablononvaughwn has wings and could FLY!!! And lets say that Trayvaown was a highlander and since zimmerman did not cut off his head so travetyon SURVIVED- for arguments sake only.
I don't have to make up scenarios to prove a point.
4. Rape shield laws protect the victim ... its the same concept of you guys trying to smear treyvons reputation.
Nooooo..... Rape sheild laws are real laws with a victim. Trayvownghnawn was not a victim of anything besides his own poor decisions.
Saying I don't understand the law means nothing.
Yes, it means you have no idea what you are talking about.

Thought the past did not matter?
Like treyvon stealing jewlery,
illegal drugs found on him,
numerous school suspensions,
amounts of cash unaccounted for,
obvious troubled past to point
to why he would not be the smarted
crayon, attacking an armed person..
Want to bring up the past and make things
up things about zimmerman that are not true.edit on 5-4-2012 by popsmayhem because: (no reason given)
