I was once provoked by an armed, uniformed security guard while working on a government contract.

She kept lunging and yelling at me.

Unlike Martin, I said nothing and just kept backing away.

I was "convicted" of sexual harassment.

Years later, I was told by the prosecuting authorities that I should have apologized for backing away silently, while backing away silently, which because I stayed silent, they interrupted as "provocation".

You never know. You libs can call 911 if you want.

First of all, there will be no "riots" if he is acquitted, so don't get your hopes up. This case is in no way like the Rodney King case.

Second, you would be wise to "consider" more carefully what you post on an Internet forum, which will remain out there in "Internet-land" to haunt you for the rest of your life.

No.

We'll see. This trial will be all about that very issue.

If someone implies they want to shoot blacks if there is an acquittal in this case, 911 is not the appropriate place to call. Any call should be made or report made to the FBI, as such a "threat" would be a federal issue and would be investigated as a hate crime.

They are going for 2nd degree unless they changed it but they won't get 1st degree.

I don't think he will walk tho.

I think he will be acquitted. Everything points to self defense.

In spite of the fact that the MSM has tried to railroad him. The New York Times tried to prejudice the case by labeling Zim as "white Hispanic, while NBC had to apologize for doctoring the tape of the 911 call.

Wolves rarely prevail on a self-defense pleading.

There may not be A law, but sometimes there is LAW.
