New Hampshire does also, I believe.

That said - I am a death penalty opponent.
Shoot, up until a year or two ago Utah had the firing squad haha. Some guy was the last dude to take the lead train out of this world. Virginia also lets prisoners choose the chair instead of lethal injection. However in all states you can't be executed for anything other than murder due to some SCOTUS ruling.

No. You just fail too see it. She stands to make a lot of money and her move to copyright the t-shirts proves that she is motivated by financial gain

No it proves that she does not want others using her son's image for financial gain or in a negative way. I am sure she was advised to do this by her attorney. It is disgusting the way some of you are so bent on demonizing the victim and his mother who has lost a son.

Also where do you come off as condeming his parents and a whole race of people because of one deranged wannabe cop? Perhaps you should go to a neighborhood that is predominately black/latino and have someone follow you around and question your right to be there. If you object, maybe it would be alright for you to get shot trying to defend yourself
Oh he would get questioned no doubt, hopefully would came out alive.

Sometimes law enforcement makes poor decisions, it's not always racism.

I especially enjoy how zimmerman is "white" when it suits people but when people complain about illegal immigration that it's suddenly white people being racist against hispanics. Oh, but when they cause a problem they suddenly become white.

Race baiters.
Hispanic isn't a race its a culture, so someone can be white and hispanic, or black and hispanic or even asian and hispanic so try again.

"UKBlackGuy"????

Are you an American or from the UK?

Is this a troll thread? The OP hasn't been back on since starting this thread.

You prefaced your comment about George Zimmerman with a statement concerning black people who kill white people or other black persons.

Why talk about George Zimmerman in a discussion of white or black people - the man is Hispanic?

He's gotten in trouble at school... unlike.. most kids in America....and he wore faddish tooth coverings and clothing... unlike most kids in America. Any kid that does those things, deserves to be profiled, followed, attacked and then shot on the sidewalk in "self defense"?

ROFL.
Maybe not "most" kids in America, but certainly "many" have smoked pot. There are plenty of people on this forum who admit to having smoked pot. Lots of kids get in trouble at school too, and virtually all teens wear faddish clothing, more and more are dying their hair crazy colors and getting tatoos, too. Don't know about the tooth coverings, but if that's the style at Trayvon's school, why not?

He very well could have been casing homes to rob while he served out his latest suspension.
How do you know Trayvon didn't have a job? How do you know he had no money? Plenty of people here on CD have admitted having smoked pot in their youth, so obviously plenty have quit (or not).

TM was not suspected of burglarizing homes in the past. He has a clean record. It is not clear that Zimmerman observed him looking into homes. Zimmerman himself never even said that.

They are all one call except the rumored coon one. The FBI analyst are a lot more credible than you so once again you lose.
With you guys, the FBI is wrong, until they're right.

Quote:
LOL if Zimmerman thought Trayvon was possibly looking into homes to burglarize how is the fact that he previously suspected of burglary irrelevant? It would lend credibility to what Zimmerman says he saw.
As I mentioned before what is relavent,
Zimmerman did not know TRayvon from the man in the moon. He couldn't possibly have known about any of his history, b/c he didn't know him.


Quote:
Um ok so how do you feel this affected him? He imagined Trayvon?
I honestly think Zimmerman was coming mentally unglued. He had been calling the police once a week in the month before Trayvon's death to report "suspicious" people.

Quote:
He can follow anyone he wants to, a dispatcher's suggestion is not an enforceable command.
It's certainly a good idea to follow the advice of the PD.

Quote:
Oh well take it up the Sanford PD. Not his problem.
I like how you're so flip about a huge error on the part of the Sanford PD>

Quote:
He had a reason it's just not one you like because Zimmerman is not Black and Trayvon is Black. Just admit that and we can all just ignore your posts.
We have not heard Zimmerman's reason for killing Trayvon.
