I agree! I bet the money isn't rolling in much any more so they have to cut back also.

Of course that is per Zimmerman who seems to like to lie when it serves it purpose.

What actions might those have been, walking home from the store? Yeah, that's some suicidal act if I've ever heard of one.

Let's what poor George's problem is...

You walk into court, conspire to lie to the judge and as a result you throughly **** off that judge and you now think that because of your actions the judge isn't being fair to you. Got it.

Seems like George has a real problem with accepting responsibility for his own actions, something that normally conservative frown upon but for some reason poor Georgie gets a pass on all of that.

Yep, seems rather odd that Zimmerman has also been threatened with death, his family has moved and people have already claimed he's guilty without a trial. Black Panthers are after him, yep justice is being served by people who don't know or care about this man either or how it happened. Is it because he's half white so he must be guilty? Even though witness have agreed with what Zimmerman said, they to fear for their lives......image that............. Is this racist or just the way it goes?

Yea, that's the problem. What is Martin's side of the story?

Oh yea...we'll never know.

You kill a kid for absolutely nothing, and i simply can't see why you'd expect sympathy. He should be dead in reality.

Yeah, that would leave me quaking in my... actually I wouldn't give their threats the time of day. But keep building them up, providing them with free news coverage and blow them all the hell out of proportion to their size or import, we all have to have our personal boogie men.

I'll bet he's not doing well, thinking about Judge Lester being the judge at any immunity hearing or trial! The outcome of the appeal will be interesting.

Apparently it's a small group, and on the radar of the SPLC as a hate group. The NBPP has been disavowed by members of the original Black Panther Party and, as you suggest, its size and importance are greatly exaggerated.

Quote:
Over time, many groups subscribing to varying degrees of radicalism have called for the "right to self-determination" for black people, particularly US blacks. Critics of the NBPP say that the group's politics represent a dangerous departure from the original intent of black nationalism; specifically, that they are starkly anti-white, and also antisemitic. The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies the NBPP as a "black racist" hate group.[11] Even the mildest critics of the organization have said that the NBPP's provocative brand of black supremacy undermines other civil rights efforts.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, a NBPP critic, has noted Muhammad's statement that "there are no good crackers, and if you find one, kill him before he changes."[12][13][14]
[edit] Membership size

As of 2009, the NBPP claimed a few thousand members organized in 45 chapters, while independent estimates by the Anti-Defamation League suggest that the group is "much smaller" but is nevertheless able to attract a large turnout of non-members (some of whom "may not even realize what this group actually stands for") to its events by focusing on specific issues of local interest./]

I've run into them from time to time here in Philadelphia and its the same two or three knuckle heads in black uniforms that I've seen in every news broadcast from anywhere other than here. One of them is about 5'3 and other one 6'5" bean poll. Both of them look like retreads from the Public Enemy.
