Zimmerman case - Found Not Guilty

[soberups]

Re: George Zimmerman found Not Guilty

Self defense,Stand your ground, isn't that pretty much the same thing? I'm sure or at least hope his lawyers didn't leave him open for civil litigation.

No, they are completely different things.

In the Peoples Republik of Kalifornia for instance, you have a "duty to retreat" even within your own home before claiming self defense as a justification for killing someone, and can be prosecuted and or civilly litigated for failing to do so.

"Stand your ground" or "castle doctrine" generally only means that, at some point (usually within one's home) the attacked party has the legal right to stand and defend themselves than being forced by the law to continually retreat from the aggressor.

"Castle doctrine" was not a legal issue in the Zimmerman case and was not part of his defense.

You are making the incorrect assumption that this saga is complete.

You are right about that.

Also, I think the official FBI probe into the civil rights violation automatically reopens. It was suspended during criminal proceedings.

As I said. Zimmerman chose this path. I don't doubt he wishes it were different, but this is the path and there be monsters out there. God's plan is rarely what we think it is.

No. But they may very well be law abiding citizens exercising their 2nd Amendment rights. No obligation to be classy.

So you're ok with it? or just indifferent because you feel he was guilty? Seems like true racial profiling

Law abiding citizens exercising their 2nd Amendment rights.... don't go around threatening murder.

Idiot criminal thugs do.... And are stupid enough to attach a photo of themselves on social media.

Because your numbers are skewed by a system that proclaims equal opportunity, equal protection the law, and competent legal representation regardless the ability to pay fails miserably to deliver on any of those fronts. Justice most often is for sale. And once you get past the racial numbers, you find a vastly greater number of those imprisoned and committing crimes are poor. That is the truly lowest com.on denominator and it crosses all racial lines.

Not so. Ted Nugent evens suggests assassination and seems proud to play up to video cameras while doing it.

Re: George Zimmerman found Not Guilty

Who did Nugent say he was going to assassinate?

Obama if he was reelected.

I recall his remarks that he would either be dead or in jail (speaking of himself) if Obama were re elected. Was there another comment I missed?

"At the time the Secret Service vowed to investigate Nugent's latest vague threat—previously he'd said he wanted Obama to "suck my machine gun"—but ultimately it turned up no real merit to the ranting."

I don't believe Nugent posed a real threat. Why should I believe these jackasses on twitter pose a threat? It isn't because they are scary black guys with scary looking guns is it?

Not really,,,, may have something to do that they are holding the gun up and saying that they were coming after you George. I "would" take that serious whoever says it whether they meant it or not
