Zimmerman is being treated like a celebrity, (eg. Lindsey Lohan etc. )
Ever watch TMZ ?
And he's dumb enough to publicly tour a gun factory and get into a filmed altercation with his soon-to-be-ex wife while his 15 minutes are still rolling.
I didn't know you were there ? Cool.
What really happened ? Tell us.
Sorry for the snide remark, but that almost seems to be your MO in a lot of your responses on this forum Darmok.
You do post some quality posts, but IMO some of your responses need to be tempered.
Fact is Zimmerman's not in prison getting rides on the baloney pony for the rest of his life.
And fact is also it probably has lot to do with he is a white-hispanic with a last name that sounds Jewish protecting himself against a black teen ...
Criticizing me and the style of my posts? Really? If you feel bad about the way I write, that's your problem ... not mine. Would you like me to call you a Wahmbulance?
I don't have the time (or desire) to gently wordsmith my posts just to make them politically or socially correct according to somebody's liking. I learned long ago you can't please everyone, so why try?
I have an opinion about many of the comments made here. I enjoy playing devil's advocate. Not to be contrary or argumentative, but to initiate a discussion of the underlying thoughts and facts that caused the commenter to come to the conclusion they stated. It's interesting and thought provoking to take a person's position on an issue and see whether they have thought it thoroughly through.
If you don't like that, then you don't like it. That doesn't mean I should be careful of hurting your feelings, or anyone else's. How many times do people state here, the forum is a place to freely discuss issues and exchange ideas? You think I should temper my responses? Right!
And I'd be glad to discuss the way Lindsey Lohan has been unjustly demonized by the media, and how she was labeled a racist, and how her acquittals represented a miscarriage of justice to the point where Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and President Obama all felt the need to make public comments against the jury, the state of Florida, and stand your ground laws. How many times have you heard the US Attorney General, Eric Holder, comment on Lindsey Lohen's arrests?
The Zimmerman trial should have never happened. His life will never be the same. The government knew there was no hate crime nor racism on Zimmerman's behalf, but they forced Florida to prosecute in spite of the facts.
Saying he and Lohan are both celebrities is a completely skewed comparison.
