You are a gun-craven moron who hates humanity. You pretend to dictate how others must live ... and that includes just how defenseless they must remain before violent crime just to ensure the convenience of the government to be able to arrest and/or murder political prisoners and to reign in tyranny. tmiddles wrote:But again, pay attention GG, I've never said that guns should be illegal. Short range, single shot small arms, confined to the home are sensible. All firearms are sensible, regardless of where they are, your gun craven panic notwithstanding. tmiddles wrote: No one should be out there acting like George Zimmerman. We have real police for that. Everyone should be able to defend himself like George Zimmerman. The one thing we do not want is a world in which violent criminals like Treyvon Martin reign with impunity. George Zimmerman, in defending himself from the brutal attempt on his life, took one for the team and rid the world of a violent piece of shit. The police obviously were irrelevant and unhelpful ... except as I have indicated, to come in well after everything has already transpired to fill out the paperwork. tmiddles wrote: Meanwhile you dodge the debate as usual IBD.

That's not really a natural question so much as it is a stupid question. Go ahead and start explaining the relevance. tmiddles wrote: Yes and when an eye witness says you've been banging 12 year olds and making illegal weapons the cops can go to a judge, get a search warrant and execute it prepared to find contraband that would be hidden if time allowed, and armed to protect themselves. Incorrect. 1) She claimed to be an eye witness. She likely was a disgruntled reject from the church who was paid by the FBI to help secure an unjust warrant. The FBI operates that way when convenient. The FBI lies when convenient. The FBI uses our taxpayer dollars to help pursue their corner-cutting convenience. The FBI does not exist to serve We the People; they exist to build cases against We the People at the pleasure of the DoJ. 2) She was the FBI's "witness." It was the ATF that sparked the shootout. -------- The reason you are completely EVADING every substantive point of the debate is because you have no intention of ever debating any of these points. Your problem with firearms is their mere existence. You are a hoplophobe. You actively want an iron-fisted authoritarian government lording over We the People and you want We the People to be helpless to resist, even if (or especially if) that means rendering all law-abiding citizens totally defenseless before violent crime. Until you stop EVADING these points, there really is nothing more to discuss. . George Zimmerman is a 'James'... He got his ass beat for being creepy, following teenage boys around in the dark. Even after being acquitted, he still was out, begging for beating, got few too... You have to remember, that Zimmerman was the only living witness, so his version of reality, was the only one, until proven otherwise. George is, Florida Man. A local loser. And 8 years later, he's still a loser.

The FBI did things differently to give them a reason to engage that cult. You think if they served him with a summons to bring a knocked up 12 year old and an illegal machine gun he would have cooperated? Police need warrants to search a property sometimes. It's part of our legal system. With eye witness testimony of the crimes being committed a judged granted a warrant. Killing people is not serving a search warrant. All guns are legal. tmiddles wrote: Into the Night wrote: Shooting at people on the property is not a search. No court ordered the execution of those people by firing squad.

The last time I tailed a vehicle that long (the driver was drunk), he wrecked before any deputy or police were able to stop him. Fortunately, he didn't take anybody with him. He simply missed the road and hit a telephone poll, knocking himself out and knocking out power and communications service to a community of about 150 houses around him. There are no police at the airport I am based at. The mechanics have formed a voluntary security, and they all carry guns. The police that serve that area are glad we're there. They can allocate their limited resources elsewhere in town. We have to stop people from killing others by stealing or damaging aircraft, you see. The local heroin treatment clinic and homeless population is not helping matters. We've even had to stop Pokemon Go players from wandering around on the tarmac. They are unaware of the lethal dangers of aircraft moving around them. Many truckers are armed to protect themselves and their trucks from riffraff they find on the road. Some of those trucks carry explosives, flammable material, oxidizers, and dangerous chemicals. They all carry licenses with endorsements to handle these materials safely. Police do not know the dangers of these cargo. The trucker does. I am armed when protecting an explosives magazine, which I do from time to time. I have had to stop police from accessing it, since they did not realize the danger to themselves. I am also armed to keep people from stealing or damaging aircraft, which would possibly kill or injure someone innocent. No police can show up rapidly enough to stop this, and wouldn't know the dangers they face if they attempted to do so. We are there at the airport already on site, and we know the dangers of aircraft. There are some places where police are not even allowed to go without special authorizations from some other on site authority (such as the trucker or the munitions officer in charge).

In the town where my airport is has a population of some 20,000; and some 5000 outlying ranches and farms, there are 12 police officers. They can't be everywhere at once, and they are not allowed on the airport operating area without airport security authority (someone like me), and they are not allowed in the magazine or in the use area of explosives without the munitions officer (someone like me).

This was also the determination by the jury in Zimmerman's court case. There were no witness, or evidence to dispute Zimmerman's account of what happened. It was pretty clear from Zimmerman's past, and his testimony, that he never does anything wrong, it's everybody else. He called the police constantly, about everything he perceived as wrong. Over 100 calls, in under 2 years. Zimmerman was following Travon for a while, slowly, in his truck (not very discreetly), and later on foot. It was creepy, like a predator stalking prey. Someone one my property, I usually walk up and ask them if I can help them with anything. My tone, is usually less than friendly. It was a gated community, feeling a need to arm himself, before leaving hi truck, means he knew there was a potential for violence. Until the butt-kicking confrontation, there was no evidence of any crime being committed. Even Zimmerman, didn't witness any crime, until the altercation. No one can know, who started the confrontation, how it got start, only how it turned out, and Zimmerman's version, that didn't really make sense. No evidence to prove otherwise. He still considers what he did was a community-service, and doesn't understand why people think he did something wrong, needlessly killing an unarmed teen.

Zimmerman was told by the 911 operator that he did not need to be following Martin at all. So why is it OK that Zimmerman killed someone who was unarmed in a public street but you find some issue with the initial stage of the Waco massacre? Follow up question within the context of this thread: Should Martin have been armed. Had Martin been armed and shot Zimmerman dead, being the only eye witness to claiming Zimmerman pulled a gun on him, would Martin be in the right? HarveyH55 wrote:...He still considers what he did was a community-service, and doesn't understand why people think he did something wrong, needlessly killing an unarmed teen. I didn't know that there was such a long lead up. It's just incredible that he still owns guns today. My money is on him killing again. He tried to auction off the gun he used to kill Mr. Martin. Also worth pointing out that Mr. Martin was there with his father who was visiting his fiancee who was a resident of the community. I guess if you're visiting your parents you shouldn't go outside in the gated community they live in? I guess some guys think it's manly to shoot someone instead of fighting fair. Maybe George should have taken some boxing lessons.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	Sanford, is maybe an hour drive from where I live. Zimmerman was/is local news. We got every detail, daily. Not sure how much, or what went national. I'm sure there was some point into it, where I got bored with the repetition, and didn't pay close attention anymore. The self-defense laws protect you, whe, you, or someone is at risk. It doesn't allow you to provoke a fight, decide you don't like getting your ass kicked, and shooting someone you provoked into fighting.

The reason was that he was defending himself and his life from a viscious bully who jumped him.

I'm sorry that you were led to believe that. Zimmerman was following Martin. Following him. Tiny little 5-foot-seven-inches-short Zimmerman was following 6-foot-two-inches Trevon Martin so that he could point his whereabouts to the police. That is perfectly legal. Nonetheless, Treyvon Martin eluded Zimmerman; George had lost sight of him. Now Treyvon Martin could have just run away. In fact, he could have just walked away because Zimmerman no longer knew where he was. But Treyvon had made up his mind to double back around behind a building and jump Zimmerman by surprise because Martin was an violent criminal who liked to just beat the sh't out of people, especially crackers. So that's what he did, and he jumped Zimmerman, took him to the ground, got in the full mount and started a full-on UFC ground-and-pound on a victim that was about four weight classes below his own. Zimmerman was not a mixed-martial artist (unlike Treyvon who had been training such) and had no idea what to do. Martin was bashing in Zimmerman's head while Zimmerman was completely helpless. How do we know this level of detail of the ground-n-pound? From the eye witness who at first shouted at them to stop, but who wasn't about to fukc with Trevon so he ran back to his house nearby and dialed 9-1-1. He saw everything and testified in court. Zimmerman's account, which was given to the police right away, was completely consistent with all the subsequent evidence and testimony collected, despite intentional misinformation from the media. What the eye-witness described in his deposition completely matched Zimmerman's account. The only possible verdict was to acquit. Martin got what he deserved and we're all better off for it. .

No. It is based on his jumping Zimmerman and bashing his head in when he could have walked away. THAT tells me all I need to know.

So the eye witness testified he saw this: The Washington Post reported this: Trayvon Martin documents reveal new details in case By Sari Horwitz and Stephanie McCrummen May 17, 2012 Neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin from a very close range, according to documents a Florida prosecutor released Thursday that indicate a hand-to-hand struggle occurred before the teenager was killed. A lab report, based on an examination of the two sweatshirts Martin was wearing, found holes and gunshot residue consistent with a "contact shot," meaning the gun was pressed against Martin's chest. An autopsy report said that the gunshot wound indicated he was shot from an "intermediate range," which experts say is between one and 18 inches away. The information includes laboratory reports that show Martin's blood had traces of THC, a chemical that is found in marijuana. Toxicology reports also found blood under Martin's fingernails, Zimmerman's blood on Martin's sweatshirt and Martin's blood on Zimmerman's red jacket. ... A photo of Zimmerman shows he had a bloody nose on the night of the clash; a paramedic reported that he had a one-inch laceration on his head and a forehead abrasion. The injuries, said the paramedic, produced "minor bleeding." tmiddles wrote: I'm curious who would keep attacking someone with a gun? You're omniscient, right?

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	With psycho Martin on top, pounding the life out of Zimmerman, how was it possible for the chubby man abled reach around, and pry his little girlie Kel Tec out of hid roll of belly fat? The witness, only saw Martin on top (though didn't know, who was on top, until it was obvious who was receiving the beating). Still no witness of what happened, up to that point, except Zimmerman. Couldn't have Martin just been continuing on his way, and zimmerman was determined to hold him, until the police arrived, which shouldn't be more than a minute or two? Wasn't going to let Nartin out of his sight, wasn't going to just let him walk away. He finally caught one of those evasive buggers. There was no witness to the actual shooting part. Really contortionist weird, how either of them could have reach the weapon, during the head pounding position. George must have been really bendy, to pull off that kill shot too. Then again, the law, is the law, and anything a witness states, is always accepted as gospel truth, until there is evidence to disprove it.

Well, we presume that it happened; Trevon Martin is now dead ... and your question only exists because we are missing certain details of an event where "you really had to be there" ... and not because any laws of physics were seemingly violated. If you were a juror, would the manner that Zimmerman grabbed hold of his gun be an issue for you, or would it be sufficient to simply acknowledge that he did? HarveyH55 wrote: The witness, only saw Martin on top (though didn't know, who was on top, until it was obvious who was receiving the beating). Correct, and he knew there was a one-way beating going on. The noise drew him out of his house to find out what was going on, he saw what he saw, he tried (feebly was my impression, perhaps out of fear of Treyvon Martin) to warn them but gave up and decided to instead call 9-1-1 based on what he witnessed. The witness was clear that Treyvon Martin was the one on top delivering the beating to Zimmerman on the ground (the witness obviously didn't know either of their names at the time of Treyvon's beat-down of Zimmerman; he differentiated by skin color mostly. HarveyH55 wrote: Still no witness of what happened, up to that point, except Zimmerman. Correct. What convinced me is that Zimmerman was questioned first and gave his account. Then, everything that was thereafter learned about what had transpired matched what Zimmerman had said, i.e. the 9-1-1 call, the Martin smack-down, etc ... so I was never presented any reason to doubt the remaining parts of Zimmerman's story. Other witnesses corroborated the racist and violent nature of Trevon Martin. No juror had any reason to doubt Zimmerman's story that I could see. HarveyH55 wrote: Couldn't have Martin just been continuing on his way, and zimmerman was determined to hold him, until the police arrived, which shouldn't be more than a minute or two? Treyvon Martin could have just left. Zimmerman was merely following Martin, not arresting him, interfering in what he was doing, blocking him, detaining him or hindering him in any way. Martin just suddenly disappeared; Zimmerman had lost him. It was Martin who confronted Zimmerman, in surprise fashion, by doubling back around rather than simply wandering away once Zimmerman couldn't see him. It was Martin who was determined to unfurl some royal crap-kicking on a tiny, chubby and very bullyable Zimmerman. Martin caused the entire event to happen. And let's not forget, Zimmerman was maligned as being every negative thing that Treyvon Martin actually was ... and all because Zimmerman merely followed Martin. Of course, tmiddles maligns Zimmerman because Zimmerman dared to not remain totally defenseless in the face of violent crime ... and because Zimmerman now serves as an excellent counterexample to tmiddles' assertion that we would all be so much safer if we were to all remain totally defenseless. tmiddles certainly cannot abide that. tmiddles primary accusation against Zimmerman was that Zimmerman kept and bore arms in accordance with the 2nd Amendment and that he should therefore receive a life sentence on that fact alone. tmiddles' second charge is that Zimmerman FOLLOWED Martin in cold blood, which should earn him a needle. HarveyH55 wrote: George must have been really bendy, to pull off that kill shot too. Not at all. Have you ever seen an MMA fight or a street fight where one guy was on his back on the ground? I think it is a given that Zimmerman, the one on his back, was struggling. If you have ever seen such a fight, the guy on the top has to alternates between maintaining balance (because the guy on the bottom is not passive) and getting in shots from the advantage (top) position. The ballistics don't leave me with any questions; it appears that Zimmerman's opportunity to shoot Martin came when Martin was posting (supporting himself with) his right arm, out and back a little thus leaving his left side a bit forward and open, where he was shot. I was not there, obviously, but there is nothing about the scenario that doesn't seem completely straightforward to me. I'm sure the jurors saw it that way too. HarveyH55 wrote:Then again, the law, is the law, and anything a witness states, is always accepted as gospel truth, until there is evidence to disprove it. Incorrect. It's not what the law reads. It's what the jurors believed. The witness' testimony, which came AFTER Martin had already committed to a story, aligned with Zimmerman's story. What the witness described and what Zimmerman claimed fits every street fight I have ever seen. I still cannot see how any jurors could have been expected to have any issues or concerns with what had transpired. . I don't think i can [define it].

According to eye witnesses (well they CLAIM to be eye witnesses) it just didn't happen that way, or maybe it did. They do seem a tad unreliable: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/are-eyewitnesses-in-the-z/ "Another witness, who was initially interviewed March 20, said she saw two people on the ground immediately after the shooting but was not sure which one was on top. In another interview with investigators six days later, she said it had definitely been Zimmerman on top, explaining that she was sure because she had been able to compare Zimmerman's and Martin's sizes after seeing them on TV." But really the question is should everyone walk around with a hand gun. Now Martin was not armed. He actually wanted a gun we learned when the private details of his cell were revealed in court. But he was 17 and despite what anyone might say every corner of the country has regulations on gun ownership and you need to be 21 in Florida. So would the world be a better place if Zimmerman AND Martin had been strapped in public, just one of them (and you'll need to justify that answer) or neither. I guess a community can decide: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/gun-control-old-west-180968013/ "The laws of Tombstone [in 1881] required visitors, upon entering town to disarm, either at a hotel or a lawman's office. (Residents of many famed cattle towns, such as Dodge City, Abilene, and Deadwood, had similar restrictions.)" But that was a long time ago. Maybe they were stupid. Edited on 16-05-2020 11:46

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	One thing that influenced my opinion of Zimmerman, was the volume, and content of his 911/311 calls. Over a hundred of them, on under 2 years, about the same length of time, as his neighborhood watch gig. The calls weren't all confined to his gated community either. Zimmerman acted as if he was a police officer, and was suspicious of anything he perceived as out of place.

Some of these town sheriffs and deputies or mayors trying to implement these laws paid for it with their lives. The community didn't ban guns in these towns. A single person like a sheriff or a mayor did, illegally. You are not forced to wear a gun. If you want to go unarmed, fine. But you can't force anyone else to not carry a gun. Thousands around carry a gun (usually concealed). You are surrounded by them. You aren't getting shot, are you? Try to take away their guns, though, and you probably will be.

Of course this will result in calls to 9-1-1 that don't originate in his neighborhood. Harvey, you don't think there's anything wrong with calling 9-1-1 do you? That's what it's there for.

He reported a pothole, a stray dog, sack of trash on the sidewalk... He called in anything, and everything, that he perceived as wrong, an obsession. Anything wrong, must be corrected. There were over 230 people living his gated community. There is no way, he would know each person there, on sight, know where they live. He had to get out of his truck, to check the cross street for the 911 dispatcher... All those people living there had family and friends, allowed to visit, even stay over for a while. Obviously, he didn't know Trayvon was staying there with his dad.

In 2013, Zimmerman's estranged wife called 911 to report that Zimmerman had assaulted her father and was threatening her with a gun. In November of that same year, Zimmerman was charged with felony aggravated assault after he allegedly pointed a shotgun at his girlfriend during a domestic violence incident. In January 2015, Zimmerman was again charged with domestic assault after allegedly throwing a wine bottle at a different girlfriend. True there are not convictions, just 4 eye witnesses. Mr. Martin had no convictions either but that is not an issue for you clearly.
