When Rachel Jeantel says 'cracker,' it's a cultural thing...

Wow. Ya think ya know someone, and then....

Bull-fucking-shit. How can you argue with a story like that? Bad people do bad things and some of them are Black. That's HIS experience with this....

Wow. Ya think ya know someone, and then....

And then what...reality sets in?

This is my mother I'm talking about, having to be taken to the emergency room in a fucking emergency truck. What, you are somehow above compassion and caring, let alone a seeking of revenge for what was done?

Well, good for you, pal. Wish I had your swoop of compassion, respect and dignity for thugs, rather than victims.

There's a reason I didn't mention the ethnicity of the pieces of shit who attacked me.....

because it had nothing at all to do with the crime.

Not a subject for jokes, Bleater.

Go jack off to your Alex Jones DVD.

Sorry.

Let me ask you people this. Have ANY of you been in fear of your life? I mean in situation where your life might be lost?...

Yes, at the age of 21, 357 stuck in my neck....



Never dawned on me to reach under and grab the shotgun the boss had under the counter near the register, either.

Not even when he put it away and turned his back and ran......

I feel bad for your mom. But the rest of that? Stay classy.

In the biker world lots of things happen. My point is, is you feel your life is threatened you do what you have to do.... Damn the consequences.

But it goes for most people. I'm just asking someone to look at it from that angle. IF you can get past all the other stuff.,

Did he feel his life was threatened when he was in the car and was advised by trained professional to stay in the car?

[Igosplut]

So you didn't listen to the trial evidence, did you?

He was never advised to stay in his car. Gz also never perjured himself because he never testified under oath in court. There was evidence he was beaten. There was no evidence he was stalking TM - following / watching is not the same. There is also no evidence TM felt threatened. He supposedly went to gz and attacked him.

There is a lot of supposition in this thread based on the lack of evidence (which is why gz was found not guilty). Gz did not use a syg defense but a standard self defense.

If you watch the trial footage, read the transcripts, if becomes rapidly obvious why he wasn't found guilty

If you listen to the news reports, it seems outrageous that he wasn't found guilty. They go that to stir controversy and push ratings.

And none of this or anything igo said will change anyone's mind.

I know that juries are always told not to read anything into the defendant refusing to take the stand but in a case where they are the only witness to the shooting dead of an unarmed man...?
