They'll need more money then, cuz GZ has a LOT of reasons for appeal. IMO

Skipping, as in 'skipping out'?

Who would riot if he is found guilty? Those rioters who the law enforcement community is preparing for may very well riot anyway. Think of all the lunatics that destroy things in their town when their home sport team wins some championship. We live in a society overwhelmed by...

I've gone through life (I'm 53) quite peacefully, being vigilant of my surroundings when out on my own, and in general I make an effort to be both friendly and helpful to people I've encountered in life. I never, ever want to have to place my life in the hands of a 'jury of peers'. 30 years...

I respectfully request a link because I am confident you have your facts wrong. TIA

ONE was arrested and subsequently released, at large, as in: 1. Free, unconfined, especially not confined in prison. The other one was never found. So neither were incarcerated on 2/26/2012. GZ did not pull anyone over, he IS allowed to follow anyone in his neighborhood. I would add...

OMG. His 'I had a dream' line just cancelled out the stupid knock-knock joke. IMO

Good lord woman, you can bake cakes, following closing arguments, follow discussion on a thread AND research and link your answers simultaneously! You're nothing short of astounding. I am 100% serious. You're the bomb diggetty, girl;)

She was on the bunny slope, lost her 'footing' and fell backward and cracked her noggie on a rock.

I'm listening, not watching. He sounds shrill and desperate. IMO

A black woman, mid 20's robs a local bank and gets away. The cops pull me over for questioning about this crime, a white woman in her mid 50's. THAT is profiling incorrectly. Zimmerman did not profile 'incorrectly'. Black male teenagers had committed crimes in the community and were at...

Thanks Curious. It was a scary time, but now the lunatic is out of our neighborhood and we don't have to deal with him anymore. It is very frustrating that the law can't really do anything until you have suffered a crime but I also don't want to live in the world of the movie Minority Report...

Yes, I realize the main difference is that my son is here to tell his side of what happened that night, and Trayvon is not. Maybe I should have kept our story out of the discussion, but the thing is, as a Mom I can see my son in Trayvon. I have enormous angst about his death. I can relate to...

I have a real-life analogy to this event. Forgive the length of this post, but I'd like to lay it out to explain the difference between the Trayvon killing and what happened to my own son. One night, early in the evening but after the sun went down, my son (16 years old) was walking through...

A lot, IMO. That is this exact residential community there were criminals that share the same physical characteristics of TM. Teenage AA's. That it is neither outrageous nor racist to be suspicious of an individual that fits the description of the very same individuals who'd committed a...

What some people think is mud slinging against TM is more, IMO, an attempt to understand what kind of person TM was, and what might have motivated him in this altercation that sadly resulted in his untimely death. Sanitizing his prior behaviors and history does nothing to illuminate his...

I'm confused. If TM started the fight with a punch, GZ got up and started running away from TM, TM started chasing GZ and GZ shot him, it's 2nd Degree Murder. Your description doesn't equate to Murder 2 IMO.

Yes. With popcorn and a festive beverage.

Georgiagirl was not suggesting that, imo. Your response doesn't address her question about what I think comes down to teaching the young respect. Teaching your children respect used to be a given, and it was done in the majority of families, regardless of race. It was NOT unusual for an adult...

IMO, and this isn't directly related to the case, but the more I read about the family situation of TM, the more sympathy and compassion I feel for him. I look at the pictures of the much younger TM and my heart breaks. And no matter how much sympathy and compassion I feel for him, I...
