Why would Zimmerman lie? A lot of reasons. He killed the only other person who could testify to what actually happened.

Zimmerman should have stayed in his truck and left the police work to the real police.

Would you want Zimmerman for a neighbor? Would you want him as a neighborhood watch? He has a long history of anger issues.

He is only a victim of his own reckless behaviors. Would he have been following Martin if he wasn't armed? I sincerely doubt it.
This (in boldface) is the bottom line. The cops were on the way and the dispatcher advised him that "we don't need you to do that" (leave his truck and search for Martin on foot). Zimmerman should have just stayed in his truck and avoided the possibility of a confrontation with Martin. And I agree with you that he would not have left his truck had he not been packing a 9 mil. I have a CC permit and support right to carry (shall issue) laws. But Zimmerman is living proof that some people should not be walking around carrying a lethal weapon.

Is it possible your son wasn't a criminal? Unlike Trayvon, who was a criminal and was acting like one? Is it possible that your neighbors would have turned out to be George Zimmerman if your son had attacked them and put their life in jeopardy? Everything Zimmerman did was completely proper.

This is the second time you have made this claim. I googled searched for something to support it and could find nothing. And you provided nothing after being asked to do so. So once again I call BS on your claim.

According to who?

How did he know that Martin was or wasn't a criminal? By the hoodie?

My neighbors don't follow people around at night. We actually believe in the right to walk down the street.

Proper? If someone were following me at night, my first thought wouldn't be "Oh look I made a new friend." It would be "someone is looking for trouble."

So how exactly did neighborhood Watch Zimmerman know that Martin was or wasn't a criminal? Oh yeah he just assumed it.

To me Zimmerman was acting like a criminal by following Martin. Just saying.

Normally I defend the shooter. I can give benefit of the doubt most of the time. Zimmerman? Nah he has too much history and his behavior after the fact speaks volumes .
As I said earlier. What bothers me most about Zimmerman is he is the poster child for the Left's anti-gun campaign. He exemplifies the stereotypical hot headed paranoid gunner stereotype.

(1) You're in the wrong thread.


(2) You obviously made no attempt to see if there is anything behind my claim (once again I suggest you google "Trump and adderall" and you'll find plenty of material that supports my claim) whereas I checked on the other poster's claim and found nothing to support it.


(3) Didn't you start a thread a while back claiming that the Democratic party is controlled by Satan?

it's not my job to back up your claims - it's yours. if you can't back it up, just admit you made it up.

i'm aware of no such thing, having never seen the thread you think you saw. but.. how convenient for you. no way to make you prove your false claim, right?

you google it. and bring back what you find. why did you chastise someone else for not backing up a claim when you're so completely unwilling and unable to back up yours?

You can look it up. And there's plenty more including an eyewitness account from Tom Arnold. Makes for hilarious reading.
