QUOTE What authority does Zimmerman? I sure don’t want some self appointed neighborhood watch person... QUOTE George Zimmerman Emerged From Hiding for Truck Crash RescueGeorge Zimmerman, who has been in hiding since he was acquitted of murder in the death of Trayvon Martin, emerged to help rescue a family who was trapped in an overturned vehicle, police said today. Zimmerman was one of two men who came to the aid of Dana and Mark Gerstle and their two children, who were trapped inside a blue Ford Explorer SUV that had rolled over after traveling off the highway in Sanford, Fla. at approximately 5:45 p.m. Thursday, the Seminole County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. The crash occurred at the intersection of I-4 and route Route 46, police said. The crash site is less than a mile from where Zimmerman shot Martin. By the time police arrived, two people - including Zimmerman - had already helped the family get out of the overturned car, the sheriff's office said. No one was reported to be injured. I suppose all you alkis and hymies missed this one?
You're not gonna ever get to be a Freeborn County Commissioner acting like that.
BTW - I couldn't care less about this case. Haven't cared about it one iota from the start. Don't watch or read about it. I think it's funny how every once in a while the great people of the United States act like they care about what goes on in the ghetto.

 I want off of this planet. Now they want to place Trayvon Martin's "symbolic" hoodie into THE FREAKIN' SMITHSONIAN!
Trayvon Martin's Hoodie
These hoodies will be flying off the shelf now. They'll probably come out with a special edition Trayvon Martin hoodie. And ironically, people will probably be killed for that hoodie - just like they are for Nikes and Chicago Bulls jackets.

I guess you folks still grow 'em stupid down there, this letter from the fish wrap
Do people without guns have defense?

Say you had a 16-year-old daughter. She was walking home from the drug store and a car was following her. Then a man jumps out of the car and starts following her on foot. She stops and turns around and kicks him in the crotch. He pulls out his gun and kills her. He then claims this is self-defense.
How would you feel? She had no weapon to protect herself.
Now George Zimmerman’s attorney is trying to restore his right to carry a firearm. If this isn’t a good example where background checks on people buying firearms is absolutely necessary, I don’t know what is. The jury must have been made up of bunch of Republicans to not find Zimmerman guilty of at least manslaughter. You heard how those Republicans claimed they should have a right to carry a firearm for their protection. Where was Trayvon Martin’s protection?
You have probably read how a gun dealer wants to speak nicety-nicety now after that crooked Republican Congress voted down that background checks bill. I will never understand when 90 percent of the public want background checks on firearms buyers and that bill got voted down. You have read where gun dealers are already supposed to get background checks on potential buyers. Every gun dealer knows all they have to do is tell the person to find a friend that will pass the check and they can buy the firearm. Firearms dealers will do anything to make a sale. If that background check bill would have passed I couldn’t sell a firearm legally to someone without a background check. It would be the same as selling liquor to a minor.
During the years that I owned the Antique Mall, I bought and sold several firearms. I feel lucky to say that I am sure none of these firearms were used for criminal activity, but I would definitely feel guilty if I had. I don’t blame the Average Joe for being upset and doing some name calling after the verdict on the Zimmerman/Martin case.

But then there is hope,
Has race become creator of truth?

Let me start by saying I’m a progressive Democrat and also that I’m white. Because I’m white, I will assume that I can now safely be called a racist.
Regardless, let me ask, who was really racially profiled in the Trayvon Martin case?
It’s strange that almost every opinion shared in the national media has vilified George Zimmerman as a cold-blooded murderer, but isn’t it true that if Zimmerman had been an African-American, there wouldn’t have been a trial?
The only thing Zimmerman did was walk to an area that would allow him to watch a stranger that he thought was acting suspiciously. Is there anyone reading this who hasn’t wanted to do that? I would go so far to say that many of us have actually done that very thing. Does that justify a vicious attack just because someone doesn’t like being watched?
Once Zimmerman was attacked, how many times (after his nose had already been broken) should he have been willing to allow his head to be smashed on the cement before he shot Martin? Four or five must not be enough, so how about 10? Twenty? Or would it have been politically correct if he had allowed Martin to kill him?
By any measure of the law, Zimmerman was defending himself. So why has he been vilified?
Everyone knows it was because he looked like a “cracker.”
Racial profiling is not a good thing. Most of us can agree on that.
Even though I honestly doubt Zimmerman would have acted differently if Martin had been white, let’s assume he was actually racially profiling Martin. Does that actually mean that his ability to protect himself has been revoked?
The national media is performing lip service. They’re destroying Zimmerman not because he was a racist but because they are terrified to consider saying that Zimmerman was innocent of the charges against him. Face it, they’re just placating African-Americans.
As long as the national press and some African-American citizens make race the creator of truth in situations like this, their cause is damaged. They accept the placation and are encouraged to believe a lie is the truth.
How can that be good for any of us, black, white, Hispanic or whatever the cracker of the day is?
The killing of Trayvon Martin will remain another division of the races for as long as we are willing to placate and be placated.

Wayne's mindless diatribe is based on nothing but a strawman argument and what ifs and he sticks to the emotional playbook to the tee.

Oh, Jesus. The amount of emotionalism is just dripping in this piece. Full of hearsay arguments and logic fallacies and Patti is completely ignorant of both Florida State law (also the fact that this wasn't a SYG trial) and an accused person's Constitutional Rights. I guess Patti never got the memo, a persons Rights trumps feelings.
I can almost hear violins playing, when I read this tear jerker.
QUOTE I was sickened by recent omissions by conservatives about the George Zimmerman trial, or should I say, the Trayvon Martin trial. I was appalled at how defense attorneys tried the dead boy to get the 28-year-old man acquitted. Zimmerman bested Martin by about 50 pounds, despite the fact that Trayvon was taller. Zimmerman has a history of violence, which of course couldn’t be brought up in trial. Zimmerman has been accused or charged with domestic assault, accused of assaulting a police officer in a bar dispute and accused of pedophilia of his cousin, all of which were either he said/she said or pleaded out.
But the defense had no problem bringing in previous childish bad behavior of the young dead boy. Trayvon was accused of, among other things, getting suspended from school, where he had a 3.87 GPA and had been accepted to a college, for marijuana residue in his backpack. Marijuana, really? More states are joining a chorus of states that have either legalized small amounts or medical marijuana. Who among us can step forward to say that they never committed any foolish acts as a teen or young adult? Adulthood by law is 18, but the brain isn’t fully formed until 21; that makes George Zimmerman, age 28, far more capable of using good judgment in an escalating situation. Trayvon was visiting his father. Zimmerman lived in the complex and told police he was looking for an address which was on a post behind him. No bushes were where Zimmerman said Trayvon jumped out of at him.
George Zimmerman was the aggressor; he was in his car, spotted Trayvon and called 911, at which time he was heard referring to those “punks getting away” with very creepy descriptions. When the 911 dispatcher asked where he was, Zimmerman answered that he was following Trayvon, at which point the dispatcher told him not to. Zimmerman then followed Trayvon to where they got into a fight and Zimmerman reached to his back hip, pulled out gun hidden by two layers of shirt/jacket, and fired and killed Trayvon. In most cases, that would be considered manslaughter if not murder. Florida, however, has Stand Your Ground laws that legalize the killing of human beings by other human beings who have malice in their hearts. When Minnesota Republicans were in power, they tried to pass SYG laws but Gov. Mark Dayton vetoed it. Thank you, Gov. Dayton.
We do not need a wild, wild, West in America. Too many guns in a civilized society can only exacerbate the kinds of events that occurred in Sanford, Fla., Newtown, Conn., Aurora, Colo., and many other places. The victims in these places were innocents who were gunned down by people who had no concern for human life. If they had, all those victims would be alive today to carry out their lives, whether it be getting married and having children, going to college or whatever. Stop the scourge of too many guns and not enough responsible gun owners.

I could and sit an pick this apart, but why bother, their minds are made up for them by morons like sissy mathews, etc. et al.
