I said strong implication, but thanks. Also, as always MOO.

Just providing some if not evidence, then certainly strong implication, that Ferguson has employed corrupt cops quite recently, and in significant numbers...

Thanks for going back and linking.

I feel like McSpadden's statement is an attempt to give the officer the benefit of the doubt, which many have been encouraging us to do. Moo

Can you link this please? I haven't heard that.

Elly Mae please link to data about Michael Brown's "previous runs ins" and "juvie records" which you reference in your post. I haven't seen anything about those.

I just wanted to say that I don't believe that GZ planned to kill TM in cold blood. I do, however, strongly believe that his choices and actions lead directly and unnecessarily to Trayvon's death. I absolutely believe he is morally responsible. Moo

That's a sad state of affairs, really. My kids are still in elementary school and I am in no rush for them to reach the high school years. :(

He had one in the car too. He was always losing those things. After awhile I kept one in MY backpack. That was the most humiliating car ever. I'm still scarred by the six months when he could only park it on hills because the starter died!

In my case, another poster asked for "innocent" reasons why a kid might keep a screwdriver in his backpack. I knew of one so I gave it. I, myself, am inclined to believe Trayvon's given reason. I have no reason or need to do otherwise. Did this friend aquire this jewelry nefariously? I have no...

George fell from nearly six feet in the air according to his story, and although I believe that not every hit on concrete will cause a lot of bleeding, I believe that most do. George Claims repeated hits on concrete, without even the protection of having hair. Is it possible? I suppose it...

My teen-aged boyfriend (way back in the dark ages) used to use a screwdriver to start his incredibly junky car. If he didn't have it in his backpack all the time we would never have gotten out of the high school parking lot.

Totally idle speculation, but I wonder if the weight loss, and increased buffness, combined with his rapidly reaching the end of his schooling at Seminole College all represented an approaching attempt to gain admittance to the police academy. Leads me to question whether that Could account for...

Many threads back I posted both boxing and wrestling weights broken down by class. At the time I used weights for Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman as provided by their respective families. That seemed the fairest and most accurate way in the absence of an autopsy report or a complete police...

This is not a good comparison, though. How many houses are on your cul de sac? Six? Ten? Twenty? The Retreat at Twin Lakes has more than 200 homes, many of them rental properties in a frequent state of flux. That is conservatively 500 people. I find it hard to believe that GZ knew all of them...
