Re: George Zimmerman arrested after threatening girlfriend with shotgun

Actually, she declined to press charges and the police did likewise after failing to retrieve video from an idea which George Zimmerman broke over his knee (according to the police's own report on...

Re: George Zimmerman arrested after threatening girlfriend with shotgun

As with all things, it needs to go through proper due process and so I will refrain from commenting on the allegations made until it does so. That being said, if the allegations are borne out by the...

Re: Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman

Not going to quibble with the other examples you mentioned, but this is just plain wrong. A glance at the article you link to makes that clear. The CRS, funded by the DoJ, is stated as being a...

Did I say it was the norm? Leaving aside that point (which is debatable - certainly I'd say it's more likely than not that teenage boys will get into fights at school at some point or another, to...

With all due respect, you have missed the point I was trying to make. My comment had nothing to do with viewing the situation as if I were Trayvon Martin; it was to point out that assuming someone is...

I'll address each of those in turn:

1) The organised fights: I believe the texts and videos you refer to were excluded by the trial judge, Debra Nelson, on the grounds that they were irrelevant...

Re: Trayvon Martin

To the best of my knowledge, the defence hasn't presented its case yet (nor should it at this case, seeing as we are still in pre-trial discovery), so I'm not sure what you're referring to by "what...

Bail now set at $1m.

If they use the original percentage to determine how much needs to be paid, that works out at a $100,000 bond. About what...

Re: Trayvon Martin

Please don't infer assumptions on my behalf. It's not very good form. I make no such assumption - I merely pointed out it's still a conscious process. Conscious =/= rational.

Re: George Zimmerman Charged With 2nd Degree Murder in Trayvon Martin's Death
