I'm curious, and haven't been able to find any data? Is this the first time a Neighborhood Watch volunteer has been assaulted?

I was wondering why a legal defense fund is to be treated as a personal asset.

In the United States, a legal defense fund (or LDF) is an account set up to pay for legal expenses, which can include attorneys' fees, court filings, litigation costs, legal advice, or other legal fees. The fund can be public or private and is set up for individuals, organizations, or for a particular purpose. These funds are often used by government public officials, civil rights organizations, and public interest organizations.
Legal defense funds often have large membership counts where the members contribute to the fund. The fund sometimes is or operates like a law firm, where teams of attorneys provide legal services through litigation.[1] Contrary to the name, attorneys working for legal defense funds both file and defend lawsuit. Unlike legal financing from legal financing companies, legal defense funds provide a separate account for litigation rather than a one-time cash advancement, though both are used for purposes of financing litigation and legal costs.

First of all, it's not certain that GZ was assaulted. Secondly, that whole discussion was a game being played by that poster, to deflect. It's been discussed before, numerous times. The rest of us weren't playing this time. It's like some of the birther threads that go over and over the same material dozens, if not hundreds, of times.

How is it not certain that he was assaulted? The injuries? The affidavit even references a struggle.

You seriously think he beat himself up?

We do not know who started the altercation.

I would like to add to my previous post-GZ was NOT acting in capacity of Neighorhood Watch at the time he KILLED Trayvon Martin. (Once more, for emphasis, LOL!)

I don't think anyone except gz will ever know who threw the 1st punch. He could have thrown a punch and missed or hit and not left a bruise. It may matter in a common sense or he deserved to get beat up way, but legally ? Not too much.

Yes, I think some people give gz credit for knowing all aspects of syg and self defense laws and setting up a defense to murder. He knew claiming to yell for 'help' would be good. His father was is a super influential 'judge.' He inflicted the injuries himself and had his family friend doctor help with the reports. His big problem was not giving himself serious enough injuries.

I know. I know. How about a thread discussing the well known and verifiable data showing that Blacks who represent 14% of US population also represent over 40% of all inmate population in the US and how this fact affects the way Blacks are perceived by the rest of population?

PS. I know, I know: even mentioning this facts, provided by the federal government, makes me a bigot and a racist.

No kidding!

I have about given up trying to make any sense of that poster's incoherent ramblings.

I know what a "safari" is and a "bing" is a type of cherry - neither of which makes any sense in the context of that post.

I am not sure if y'all are joking but it was a play on 'yahoo' with other internet terms, Safari (Apple's browser), Bing (Microsoft search engine), Google (search engine etc)
