Black people rioting, this is what Mashed Potatoes wants to discuss, but he has no racial biases. SMH.
I dont know what he was responding to, but I think its worth noting that that very well could happen if Zimmerman is found not guilty, dont you think? After seeing the media and hollywood trumping up of it all last year or whenever it was, its a big possibility worth noting.

Past calls should not matter unless on one of them, George said something like, "I'm gonna stop this from happening again." "These *******s always get away," does not predetermine his mindset for the future, or indicate he's going to take matters into his own hands, imo. If it did, he would not have called 911 (again). He continued to call 911, seemingly content to let authorities handle it.

Crappy work on the part of both lawyers to not be prepared to argue this point.

The judge seems real happy to block any evidence that supports Z.
It isn't the prosecutor objecting....It is the defense....and Yeah...He is...

Zimmerman scared the crap out of that young man. Instead of reassuring Martin about his intentions, he continued to scare the boy by chasing after him. In other words, Zimmerman created the entire situation and is therefore liable.

There is no proof of that. Last we hear is that Zimmerman states Martin is running.

This is another reason I think the character of Martin should be allowed to be presented. The texts, photos, etc. With those presented, its even more likely to be believed that he could attack someone.
It has been...That is the same reason George's previous calls and previous charges should be also. Bottom line George was the one with the gun, and he used it.......Trayvon wasn't armed, unless you consider skittles and juice weapons.

Zimmerman probably would not have been in the situation he was in, if police where allowed to do there jobs without fears of repercussions.

Never bring your fists to a gun fight.

That's right, some posters are adept at making up crap aren't they?

Obviously, he didn't keep on running or he would have ended up home instead of dead and on top of George like he was riding a bicycle.
