			<description><![CDATA[I'm still trying to figure out why, if Trayvon Martin was so frightened by the "creepy-ass cracka" following him, he didn't call 911 with the cell phone he was carrying and hurry the few dozen yards back to his dad's girlfriend's house in the four minutes between hanging up on Rachel Jenteal and getting shot.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Obama has only one purpose in life: to make the whole world - including himself - see him as a black crusader for 'oppressed' blacks. His problem is that he has little in common with the average black. He is half white, for one thing, and for another, he has a privileged background. He really isn't 'black enough' for the image he wishes to portray so he does everything he can to try to make himself more black. He wants his whole background to disappear, and with the media's help, he has certainly managed to make a good stab at it. He doesn't care about anything but himself, though, and, when he isn't reading some text, it shows. Of course, none of this is a good way to run a nation, but then, he has never cared about that, either]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[O thats rich kennedy, because you refuse to ignore the facts as presented in the court, I'm not following the thread of discussion? The only people who believe the facts are far from clear are those people who just straight dont like the outcome. You and your ilk seem to think that zimmerman having his skull bashed into a pulp by the actual aggressor would have been preferable. I said earlier that if someone turned and punched me in the face and beat my skull into the ground it would be self defense, and you said "FAIL! You missed my point! Of course you are entitled to defend yourself if attacked. Duh! But are you allowed to kill someone because you think you might be attacked?" You see kennedy, you are consistently twisting what is known of the incident because you just straight dont like the facts. Even Trayvons friend said he turned back and challenged Zimmerman and she heard whqt sounded like someone being punched. The only one of the two with a broken nose and injuries to the skull was Zimmerman, but that doesnt suit your agenda does it. Im done dealing with a troll, good day, and i wont be responding to any more of your preposterous strawmen]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Jeez, Mark, I'm sorry you could not seem to follow the thread of the discussion. In the context of the Zimmerman case, i raised the issue of whether the current laws were too biased in favor of those claiming self defence. In a number of US states, let alone other countries in Europe, the law would have probably made his acquittal far more difficult. Is that trolling? And in the case of Zimmerman, the facts are FAR from clear as to what actually happened as NO ONE saw anything. Now do you get my point?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[@kennedy... I'm confused, where did any of us say you can just kill someone cuz your scared and not be charged. You dont seem to understand the law. If you just kill someone for no reason you are charged. That is not at all what we have been discussing. You are using the same strawman over and over, that we are discussing an unwarranted killing. We arent, so your question is pure and simple trolling.]]></description>

My answer: No, of course not. But that is not what happened in this case, so why are you even asking that question?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Peter Kennedy - Try some perspective. The UK is not the USA. The total area of the UK is 94,060 sq mi. The total area of Texas, alone, is 268,581 sq mi. That's just one state. In Texas, it is legal to use lethal force on anyone who is threatening your property. In other words, it's legal to shoot someone for trying to steal your horse. People are fairly polite in Texas!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Why won't you answer the question? Answer, "yes" or "no". If an unarmed man is killed in "self defence" should the person who pulled the trigger be under a greater burden of proof to show he did the right thing than the person he shot dead (who cant testify anyway because he is dead!) It has nothing to do with "your F'd up British law" or the "overly powerful state" or anything else in your post, which is simply an attempt (rather weak in my view) to avoid answering my question. Answer my question or you could simply say, "I don't know, which would be a far more honest answer than what you have written. And the doctrine of "burden of proof" is enshrined in the Common Law upon which both the US and UK system of laws is based and has nothing to do with the presumption of innocence which seems to be confusing you!]]></description>

It is always up to the prosecution to find the defendant guilty unless the defendant pleads guilty. That is the way our founders decided it should be and they were right. Your F'd up British law is the main reason they wrote it that way. They knew how an overly powerful state could screw an innocent person who has only his individual resources to defend himself.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[you miss my point....again! I'm saying that the burden of proof should be on the person who shoots and kills an unarmed man to show he was truly defending himself. Why is that so difficult to understand? And I have been on the other end of the system when I caught a an 17 year old burglar in London climbing out of a ground floor apartment. He pulled a 9 inch sharpened screwdriver on me and i took him down. At the trial I was viciously cross examined by the defence for "attacking" this kid and my military affiliation in UKSF was brought into court and that I had acted with unnecessary force. So I know personally what this debate is about. I had to show that i had acted properly and appropriately, which i had, and that was the end of it. The Accused asked for 27 other offences to be taken into consideration and he got 6 months with 18 months probation. i was stunned! In the US he would have gotten 20 years probably, but that's another debate. If you kill an unarmed man in self defence, the burden of proof has to be on the shooter, particularly if the "shootee" is dead!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Peter, I did not call you an ass-wipe. I called the dirtbags in the media ass-wipes, and I was being kind. "Stand your ground" only refers to a person who is on the defensive, but has every right to be where he is. Even so, that defense was not used in the Zimmerman trial. Zimmerman defended himself on the grounds that Martin attacked him, and his being killed was an act of self defense. The jury agreed with him. Stand your ground laws give people who otherwise would be defenseless victims the right to forcefully defend themselves if they are in a place they have every legal right to be. There is no requirement to retreat and there shouldn't be. Personally, I don't think thee laws are needed as any law that takes away your God-given right to defend yourself with force anywhere, anytime is an illegal law that violates the basic human right of self defense. But that would be common sense in a free country. Amerika has not been a free country for well over 100 years. But that is waht you get when you have a criminal government. (And no, the "k" in Amerika is not a typo.)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm sorry, but it appeared you were implying that those who choose to speak on this issue without using their real names are nothing but anonymous cowards. It's a risible assertion, and one I freely challenge. You touted your own freedom to speak, but felt free to cast aspersions on the speech of others. Some opt to post anonymously, and the reason should be abundantly clear: the anonymous writers didn't feel like being branded racists and bigots; epithets that have flown fast-and-furiou s during the run up to this verdict. As for the legal process being "skewed" towards self-defense, I disagree. I find your opinion to be objectionable because a foundational concept in American law is that the accused is INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty. The burden of proof is on the STATE (certain affirmative defenses excepted), and in this case, the State HAD no case. The State has massive power and resources compared to a single working-class individual. You cannot reasonably expect Mr. Zimmerman's resources to even BEGIN to match those of the Federal DOJ, or the President, or the State of Florida, or even the municipality of Sanford. If anything, the normal legal process was circumvented to railroad Mr. Zimmerman. The politics of this case are poisonous, and it was only political pressure that caused charges to be brought in the first place. The police knew there was no case. The DA knew there was no case. A Grand Jury (should one have been empaneled) would likely have recognized that there was no case. The jury saw through the smoke, and realized that there was no case. The evidence was very clear, and the concept of "innocent until proven guilty" is the very bedrock of our justice system. That you would advocate for that to change is anathema to most Americans... particularly Americans who view this fiasco as race-baiting and political pressure run amok. The fact that you neither grew up here, nor appreciate our view on firearms ownership merely gives me something else to gig you about (j/k). Cheers!]]></description>

My point is whether these "stand your ground laws" are good laws and serve the all the citizens fairly, and there I think the jury is out on that one.

			<description><![CDATA[Mr. Kulow, how nice to know you are a real person! And no, I was not insinuating that you you should not air your opinion, I was making the point that you chose to do so anonymously. And where you get "a veiled threat of violence" from anything I wrote is frankly bizarre. I can have any position I like on US law, UK law, Russian law or any other law....there's no law against it! And yes I agree that any man can be killed by "bare hands" and of course I would not let myself be beaten to death if I could possibly avoid it. But the issue is whether the threat from Mr. Martin was such that he should be shot dead. The jury decided there was, which is again an outcome which is based on the legal structure in the state of Florida, a state I have been to many times and much enjoy. My point is that the laws are too skewed in favor of self defence and there is very little burden of proof on the shooter to show he was really in fear of his life. Why is that opinion so objectionable and why the insulting, "certainly SOMETHING brought you to the United States...what was it?" My son is a serving officer with 6th Cav at Fort Stewart, my wife is American, but according to you I should get my butt to where I came from because I disagree with you. How very UNAMERICAN, Mr. Kulow!]]></description>

I also appreciate that you brought out thte fact that Martin was a wannabe gangsta - as I pointed out in your last post. Not a single person replied to my comment. However, I must chide you on your bow to PC self-censorship in writng "n-word", instead of just writing "nigger". If blacks can call each other nigger, then it must be okay for anyone to do it, and your context was not even negative, just explanatory. Thanks for truthful reporting.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[McCain would have been President if his own party had supported him despite Obama's "golden tongue". But that is history. I could not vote for Romney in good conscience...he lied like a rug. But seeing Obama get involved in a local law enforcement issue enrages me. Did any black leaders get involved when 4 blacks in Knoxville kidnapped, robbed, tortured, raped and murdered 2 young white lovers? Newspapers like the Wash Post and Balto Sun never even mentioned that case. Some folks say it was not a "Hate" crime. Does that mean it was a "Love" crime? If the roles had been reversed it would certainly have been labeled a "Hate" crime. Obama and Attorney General Holden are way out of line in this Zimmerman case. Hopefully someone a better organizer than me will get a petition underway to curtail the US DOJ actions in this case. Even Charles Barkley, among many others, stated he thought the verdict was just given that many blacks have a racial hate of white people (that is what Barkley, a black, ex-NBA player said, not me). Plus I get so tired of hearing Obama refer to himself as black. His mother, who raised him was white. He never lived in ghettos. Also, I bet if a couple of Outlaws, or other bikers had been in Zimmerman's community that night he would have confronted them as well. Why? Because statistics show that 1% bikers have high crime rates just as blacks have very high crime rates relative to their share of National population. Zimmerman used common sense.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I am a Florida resident, Mr. Kennedy. Were we nose-to-nose, I wouldn't shy away from saying anything I'll write here. Were you implying I should not? Should I take that as a veiled threat of violence? You're a guest in this country, and presumably didn't grow up here. We are a country with a long, proud, and legal tradition of private firearms ownership. I realize you lack the same tradition in the UK, but that hardly puts you in a position to judge our laws. As a former SOF troop, you should be well aware of how easily a man can be killed with nothing but bare hands. Expertise/train ing makes it faster/cleaner, but even an untrained man can injure or kill. Would you allow yourself to be maimed or beaten-to-death before responding to an assailant? Of course not, and neither would I. In the same vein, I don't think anything different can reasonably be expected of Mr Zimmerman. The verdict was the correct one. We Floridians like our laws. We advocated and voted for them, in the finest Western tradition of representative government and civil process. If you find them so objectionable, there are other places you could choose to live. Certainly SOMETHING brought you to the United States... what was it?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Martin didn't "stand your ground". He attacked GZ, with intent to kill him. Even if it were not verbalized, bashing someone's head on a concrete sidewalk is clear evidence of an imminent thread of serious injury or death. GZ did not "stand your ground" since he was already being attacked. It was a clear case of self defense. Stand your ground has NOTHING to do with this case. NOTHING. NOTHING. NOTHING. Stand your ground merely states that an individual no longer has to prove they attempted to flee a conflict before employing deadly force. Would you like if you were being attacked that you had to think about "well the law says I have to try to flee before I can defend myself, or I'll be prosecuted". Martin's autopsy has already shown to be laced with narcotics and that DIY drug Lean(m?), and the "candy" were ingredients in said drug. The drug also leads to extreme violent behavior and paranoia. RACE has nothing to do with this case either. If anything, GZ was not even on the same planet if trying to associate race with the incident. On the other hand, Martin on frequent occasions mouthed off racial slurs. GZ was the neighborhood watchman at the time. It was his job to report on suspicious activity. If he were just some guy, then perhaps avoiding it would have been prudent; but his job at the time was to perform the duties of a neighborhood watchman since there was a rash of black individuals commiting thefts in the very same community. I say black individuals only because it was fact, not to thrown out such an identifyer.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Some people just don't get it. This case was decided by the facts and the law by a jury. Hearsay and perception or opinion about what happened are not permitted when in court. Micheal is right, the biased media has a narrative to promote and the facts be damned if they don't match the narrative. This whole situation is a tragedy that is not over yet. A man found innocent by a jury of any crime has still had his life changed forever and from the sounds of it may not be out of hot water yet. I will be very surprised if they don't try to hang some kind of crime on him yet. One more point that was mentioned by Micheal and others that I agree with, attacking an unknown person to you is very foolish as you don't know what they might do to you if confronted. Mr. Martin paid for this mistake with his life.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Trayvon had every right to "stand his ground" as we all do. What he does not have the right to do is to punch someone in the nose and bang his head on the ground preemptively. At that point, he is the aggressor and the assaulter and has committed a crime. Both men acted stupidly and either could have prevented the outcome at several different points. Once Zimmerman was attacked, he has the right to protect his person - that is the law in most if not all states in the union. Stalking laws aside, it is not against the law to follow someone and ask them a question. As far as the President is concerned, I expect my president to stand up and say that we are a nation of laws and that the best criminal justice system in the world has spoken and we, as Americans must respect it. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Mr. Martin had the same rights as Mr. Zimmerman. To stand his ground, to walk on the sidewalks, to speak his mind freely, to follow any on he thought was acting strange, until he through the punch and/or threatened Mr. Zimmerman there is no evidence either broke the law. (drug use excepting) If you are trying to imply the stand your ground law has anything to do with this case you are mistaken. In their most basic form they allow a citizen to detain a criminal if caught in the act. Before stand your ground laws if anyone who was armed witnessed any crime that besides those that put another human in risk of serious physical harm or death, all they could do was walk away and call the cops. If the criminal approached them and they did not flee if able, and if they then used their weapon in self defense or not, they were guilty, even if they didn't fire. However, if an unarmed person witnessed the same crime and depending on state law were allowed to perform a citizens arrest they could using physical force if necessary. An armed citizen could not. All the stand your ground laws do is not require an armed citizen to flee in the face of criminal activity. Why any particular community has issues with this I will leave you to ponder. So, to answer your question, no, the stand your ground laws do not apply during the commission of a crime. The only crime in this situation was Mr. Martin striking Mr. Zimmerman, and at the point he banged Mr. Zimmerman's head against the ground lethal self defense was justified by the U.S. Constitution. So, for all those that don't like the outcome of this case unless you remove the right to self defense from the Constitution nothing changes.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Sorry the facts do not seem to align with your world view. I get my information from a sources across the political spectrum. You apparently missed the facts concerning Zimmerman's history of violence and confrontations with the law. They were deemed inadmissible in court just as Much of Martins background was excluded. btw did you know that there is a street gangsta named Tavon Martin who is alive and well today. he is from Georgia and a lot of the screen shots from social media I've seen posted are from that Trayvon's account. Again Zimmerman took it upon himself to chase down someone who belonged in the gated community. He initiated the confrontation by ignoring the 'advice' he received from the dispatcher. Zimmerman has been fortunate that his father the retired judge has been able to intervene on his behalf on more than a few occasions. Zimmerman was a self-appointed neighborhood watch guy. No necessarily a bad thing, but in my neck of the woods people who volunteer for neighborhood watch NEVER go out armed and never go out alone. The sheriff offers a marvelous free training class. They even spend a lot of time helping volunteers understand how to gracefully extricate themselves from difficult situations and better yet how to avoid them. Gratuitous assaults on others ideas and opinions will never bring our nation together. People working together to solve common problems will bring us together. Again go back and parse through the news reports on both sides of the political spectrum. It is sad to see so many folks who are unwilling to stop and take another look. Again we can take this moment to learn and try to work together or we can pick at the wound and allow it to keep festering. America historically has worked to learn from it.]]></description>

Under the laws of the state of Florida, Zimmerman was considered to have acted in self defense. In the laws of all the other developed industrial economies, he would have gone to jail. and as the US is so heavily armed, "drawing first" is decidedly advantageous. As an observer of the US over many years and having lived there for 13 years, it astounds me that these days the level of debate and the levels of knowledge are so piss poor.]]></description>

No the answer is to be mindful of those points of light and shun the darkness of those that would deny the truth of those sacred principles which have freed more humans across the planet from real oppression, needless starvation, death and fear than any other set of principles known to man. While the ideology of the Communists and socialists everywhere they are setup across the planet have brought about nothing but brutal enslavement, starvation, deprivation,and human rights violations to numerous to list here, :sad:]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["Understand people in certain communities are afraid of people that look like you." You folks looking for the "high ground" can't resist it. "It ain't what you look like when your doing what you're doing. It's what you're doing when you look like you're doing what you're doing." According to Zimmerman, the young man was cutting across yards and walking down alongside houses.He was "acting" suspicious according to reenactment video testimony of Zimmerman. Write fiction if you would "embellish" and skulking is a word !]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Aaron, both had the right to exist where they were. Trayvon on his way home and Zimmerman on the way to shop. Either had the "right" to follow the other if they chose. Confrontation and verbal challenges occurred. Either could have retreated or backed away. Witness testimony had Trayvon on top (girlfriend says he struck Zimmerman first) beating Zimmerman and threatening to kill him. No chance for Zimmerman to flee. Now, he is in the "self defense" mode and screaming for help! He is then authorized to stop his attacker from killing him using lethal force and he did that. Lots and lots of poor judgement to go around. One life lost and others ruined. "I'ma do what I want, when I want, where I want, to whomever!" collided with "Oh hell no you ain't! Not here! Not now and not to me you ain't!" No winners. "Stand your ground" does not require you to flee in the face of a perceived imminent threat to your life and you can legally defend yourself with means up to and including lethal force if necessary. Are you at all familiar with the "Knockout Game"?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Every article on this subject misses the point. It's not about Zimmerman or Martin. They are props in the latest incarnation of Kristallnacht. Of course the media gets the facts wrong as the facts cannot be allowed to stand in the way of the issue. Martin's innocence vis-a-vis his activities are irrelevant; Stand Your Ground is irrelevant; Zimmerman's activities are irrelevant. The only relevant point is whether Zimmerman was justified in shooting a person that was hammering his head into the concrete but this is the only irrelevant point to the Left. Zimmerman & Martin have been remade into caricatures of their real selves for the sake of public drama. Martin will forever be the sainted child lost at the hands of profiler, white guy Zimmerman. The media band will play this tune till you'll have to get a resume and three references before you can draw a legal gun on a perp that wants to kill you. Whatever the facts are is secondary to the needs of the political ends. But the facts will be damned as the incident is repackaged, relabeled and sold as undeniable proof that our legal system & society are both unjust and racist. It will be the Kristallnacht in the Left's move to neuter American self defense rights. It was American society that was on trial, and the jury found it wanting.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The Obominations White Half is ALL bad Nancy. He mother was a Red Diaper baby and from all accounts somewhat promiscuous especially when it came to black men. His white grand-parents (that where supposed to so fearful blacks) where card carrying members of the Communist Party USA. It is my firm belief that the Obomination's mother was encouraged by her parents to get pregnant by a black Communist radical so they could use that baby to create the monster we have in power today! Just look at his true lineage, who has mentored him and supported him financially until they got him elected in a rigged Senatorial election that he was not even qualified to be in the first place! Who has the Obomination aligned himself with over the years he has been in the office which he has defiled? America haters, black & white Communist/socia list radicals, Islamic/Muslim terrorists, a Black Liberation Theology (read Communist) preacher who calls for "God to DAMN America", these are the Obominations friends and supporters, yet the moron media and most of the American sheep seem alright with this stupidity! God help us all!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Biggest lie ever told about this whole incident and keeps on being regurgitated by the ignorant and uninformed, i.e. "The dispatcher told him not to pursue" FYI The dispatcher asked him to let him know what the "thug" was doing and where the "thug" was going, How is he going to accomplish that sitting in his truck when the "thug" has disappeared behind the buildings? The dispatcher also TESTIFIED' that they CANNOT give ORDERS to ANYONE YO! So George Zimmerman was NOT TOLD to do anything!! Where were you during this testimony?? "Martin's death was avoidable and wasteful" That is the biggest line of BS I have heard yet on this forum" This "thug" was destined to be shot by someone, either the Police, one of the other gang banging thugs in South Florida, or God forbid, a homeowner trying to protect his or her family. Trayvon "Gansta" Martin was a "CRIMINAL" not a choir boy like the moron media and their puppets like you, who regurgitate every thing they say like it was gospel, want everyone to believe. I said Trayvon "Gansta" Martin was a criminal from day one and I have been backed up by the FACTS! I do not rejoice in saying this, as my own son seemed to be headed down the same path that Trayvon "Gansta" Martin ended up on, but fortunately one instructional visit to a Federal Penitentiary where I was working at the time, straightened his young ass right up 8)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Lie No. 1 - "Zimmerman has a history of run-ins with law enforcement and violence. Yet I've not seen much attention focused on this part of him." George Zimmerman had NO history of violence or that would have been brought out by the prosecution which they did NOT as I watched every second on that trail LIVE. For everyones information George Zimmerman was actually VERY sensitive to ethnic issues as he was mentoring two black children whose father was serving a long sentence in a Florida prison and on top that he took a black girl from Barbados to his HS graduation. Where is George's "ethnic hatred" again, please show me? Lie No. 2 - "I have heard the evidence where Zimmerman was instructed to not to get out of his truck and make contact with Martin" He was NOT INSTRUCTED by anyone, the non-emergency and 911 operators CANNOT give INSTRUCTIONS, only SUGGESTIONS YO! (They NOT legal orders, that was brought was brought out in the trial testimony by the non-emergency operator who actually talked with George! YO!) Lie No. 3 "I've not seen any evidence that Martin initiated the violence" Oh no, Where in the hell where you during the trail? Listening to Jon Stewrat and MTV? Excuse me, but did you not just read where Michael has laid out the fact this was a criminal thug George was trying to get a line on and report his whereabouts to the Police! A criminal thug with a REAL history of drugs and violence and street gang activity, expelled from school in South FLorida for drugs and violence, how much more do you need to hear before you wise up? Did You also know that Trayvon "Gansta" Martin was KNWON to the Miami Street Crimes Unit, He was on their list YO! (The Obomination now claims HE is Trayvon "Gansta" Martin, what does say :-? ) George Zimmerman is the REAL victim here! The real criminals here are the media, the Florida District Attorneys office, the Dept of In-Justice and the Obomination, who collectively displayed the disgusting and typical mentally of Polit Bureau leftist lawyers and journalists, and the Communist backed ethnic extremists in this country who went on a witch hunt against a man trying desperately to protect his GATED community from more crimes that had already been committed by BLACK criminals!! In regards to your last statement "This should not be a dividing moment, It can and should be a unifying moment. We are America. We are better than this" We are never going be "better" as a nation as long folks like you continue to listen to the LIES and DISTORTIONS of the media and continue to regurgitate them as if they are FACTS. WAKE UP!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yes, you are right, that is the prudent course, and what I practice when armed, especially. Common sense. But common sense on both parts would have prevented the confrontation, so we depend on the law. At the point of being beaten, Mr.Zimmerman certainly had a right to defend his life. But if he were, for example, an intruder in a home, and was being beaten by the homeowner, he would have certainly been found guilty of at least, manslaughter. So my question remains, did Mr. Martin have a right to stand his ground, or is that right reserved to armed individuals in Florida? And if he had the right to stand his ground, doesn't anyone here feel there is a problem with either the law, or the interpretation of the law, or the way the prosecution tried the case?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Zimmerman thought the situation serious enough to call 911. The dispatcher told him not to pursue. He did so anyway and let himself get into a situation from which he could not extricate himself without use of deadly force. Martin's death was avoidable and wasteful. There is no comparison between what you did in the close confines of a crowded bar and what Zimmerman did.]]></description>
