This stupid thread is still up? People need to move on already

Thanks. I was just thinking that what this thread needed was the advice of someone posting a picture of their torso in a tank top telling everyone that a murder investigation is no longer relevant when it hasn't even gone to trial yet.

I find that usually people who want a topic to go away have an opinion they don't know how to express rather than being motivated by a desire to give objective advice. When people don't want to discuss it any longer, it will go away. Until then, don't open it unless you want to contribute.

So is flipping your finger. Where does that leave your argument?

argument? I'm just posting facts.

the guy who flipped his finger is dead and the guy carrying the legal weapon is alive. Where does that leave your argument?

The fact that carrying a weapon is legal, does not relieve a person from criminal repsonsibilty. That is the reason for the legal proceeding in this case. Zimmerman's defense hinges on his story, that his life was in danger. But I ask, why would Martin be specifically intent on killing him? And if Martin did intend to kill him, it could be because he felt his life was in danger by a man pursuing him. Somewhere in the scenario, Zimmerman's gun was introduced, that could have possibly raised the level of fear, Martin may have had, for his own safety. Carrying a weapon also places a greater responsiblity on a person, to have reasonable conduct.

The simplest way to deter crime is to talk to a person, or at least let them see that they could be identified. That way, a potential criminal knows that you may be able to identify them, should they commit a crime. Carrying a gun has not made Zimmerman's life better. Where is a motive for Martin to try and kill him? Martin was unarmed, and had no criminal record.

trayvon martin did not flip his finger on face book .

that was a photo posted by the kkk

fake trayvon martin photo circulating,originated on a white supremacist website.



Over the weekend, a picture began circulating that claimed to show Martin in a less-than-flattering light: shirtless, sagging pants, and giving the finger to the camera.

The image quickly circulated across blogs and websites, with many claiming it as evidence that Martin was not as innocent as family and supporters claimed, as well as alleging media bias.

There is one problem to that claim: the picture is not Trayvon Martin.

Or at the very least, he's not the one who made worldwide headlines after his death. The Facebook page the picture came from appears to belong to a different Trayvon Martin, whereas the image is nowhere to be found on the slain teen's profile.

Street Wise Pundit, a liberal blog, claims the widely circulated "fake" Trayvon Martin picture originated on a white supremacist website.

Cute and clever response cupcake, but did the time and effort you put into it really make you late for your Mensa meeting? I also do not need to see a picture of you to know how big of a badass you are. Go back in hide in the 'closet' so your wife doesn't catch you on here. Who sucks more dick? You or the bronco's.

I don't think calling someone a cocksucker is the most devastating insult you can hurl at someone on HA.

George Zimmerman Called Women ‘Hoes’ and Mexicans ‘Thugs’ on his Myspace Page

George Zimmerman's legal team and family continue to insist that the 28-year-old who killed Trayvon Martin is not a racist. But an old Myspace account peppered with derogatory insults, uncovered by the Miami Herald and confirmed to be legitimate by Zimmerman's attorney, might pose some problems in court.

Zimmerman, aka "Joe G.", last updated the page, called "Only to be King Again" in 2005. On it, he referred to criminal cases ("2 felonies dropped to 1 misdemeanor!!!!!!!!!!!"), called an ex girlfriend his "ex-hoe" (NICE), and had many lovely things to say about Mexicans:

dont miss driving around scared to hit mexicans walkin on the side of the street, soft ass wanna be thugs messin with peoples cars when they aint around (what are you provin, that you can dent a car when no ones watchin) dont make you a man in my book. Workin 96 hours to get a decent pay check, gettin knifes pulled on you by every mexican you run into!

Zimmerman's lawyers had ordered him to erase his social media presence — a Twitter account, website, and Myspace page under the username "datniggytb" were all taken down over the past few weeks — so we're not sure why this one is still up. (Seriously, still up as of right now, click here to see.) But hey, at least he says his "G Ma" is his role model? That's sure to go over well in court.
