Re: George Zimmerman Trial
I certainly do.
But I also think they may have been sold a bill of goods on this case. This is not Rodney King where you had indisputable video evidence of a racial crime being committed. The facts of this case were so murky and only 2 people really know what happened: One is dead and the other isn't going to self-incrimanate himself (if guilty). Why some segments of our society deemed this a worthy case - absent any real facts - to gauge the current state of our race relations is beyond me.

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
I didn't avoid the question, I answered it directly. I said "to answer your question I would not have taken that beating." I have no problem admitting that because to me it is an obvious thing to admit. However here it is also a meaningless thing to admit because the situation you laid out was not proven to have happened (or, to my knowledge, even to have been likely).

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
How in the world do you know he was waiting for his follower?
I know if I or people I know actually WANT confrontation, I would actually approach them...not wait somewhere for the possibility of them bumping into me.
I also have been followed before by others and sometimes I have waited at a particular spot or area if I believed they lost track of me for a while...sometimes you stay put.

According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
Z is free but may be a marked man. He'll live in fear for his life. Casey Anthony who was
acquitted of killing her 2 yr old child still gets death threats. Z paid his atty's fees via
donations from the public. Look for his book on Amazon.

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
You may think it is beyond you, but deep down it probably isn't. You proved as much yourself when you and HR conceded my earlier point: that you could conceive of a different verdict had Trayvon been a blonde white kid named Jack. As long as you can conceive of such a thing when you know it should not matter, then you can conceive of why "some segments" mistrust 'the system.'

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
All I know is this...if someone is creepily following me in the dark and rain, not identifying themselves, and we bump into each other, I would have no reservations hitting that person. How long would I continue to fight...I don't know. If I got the upper hand, it would depend on how long until I felt safe to leave...which typically depends on whether the other person is disarmed or incapable of following me once I stopped.
I know the law, and I just think it allows for so much interpretation, there are going to be rulings on both sides that are incredibly frustrating for both sides.

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
To prove a point. And a secondary point, that I knew you wouldn't answer the question.
Because answering that question you would have said that you would have done the exact same thing he did. And by your response as to not knowing whose voice it was or who was on top, it's clear you didn't watch the trial.

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
Never said there was.
Over and over I've remarked on the oddness and weird-smellingness of the case to me. I do not believe GZ was 100% innocent in TM's death. I believe there are probably things he could've done better and probably things we'll never know. I believe race factored into it for him. But I never said I didn't understand why he got off.My Ravens Blog: Brittany Rants About Football

Re: George Zimmerman Trial
It makes sense. And mis-trusting the system base on prior injustices makes sense, too. The problem is when you hold up this murky case, where really no independent party really knows what went down, as an example of that injustice. Personally, I don't think that furthers the cause.
