A child.

That's a good one.

Some people are so easily swayed.

Nancy Grace is absolutely insane, and she only got Frank on to have him represent the other side of insanity. They both play their parts well.

It's unfortunate that what we have today is sides, not news. But that's what we got. Thankfully, I've found out over the years that people are nowhere near as nasty and dishonest in person than many are online or in the news.

I will say, someone that's called 911 46 times since they were around 20 years of age, has a serious problem. Here's the summary transcripts.

If this is actually true, zimmerman has some serious law enforcement intepretation issues, which explains the reason why he would proably fail the psychological part of the test. I think that is also interesting that he did not approach any of the grown suspicious men.

That would be Breaking & Entering.

And the moron who compiled the list needs some tutoring in basic grammar.

When I see people drag this kind of crap all over the internet, site to site, I know the country is lost.
That was from a list posted by the Sanford PD.

What is your definition of a child? He is under 18, and depends on his parents for support. If I'm not mistaken that is the definition of a child by the IRS (government). You should really work on not being so hateful

Frank is 29 now. The list starts in 2004. The Sanford PD has pulled it off their web site.

I don't want to keep repeating myself, but I heard the entire 911 call that was posted on the Sanford Police web site last year. I don't even know what HNL is. Do you mean Headline News? (that's HLN) I don't have cable.

I don't expect you to go back and read hundreds of posts from last year when these threads began, but I posted links to the actual call and the transcript in full.

You've got that right! (or is that left?

However, we also have social networking which is very, very powerful. The internet changed everything, mostly for the better. I cannot imagine life without it. I even used it tonight to order a pizza. If I forget a word or a name I can use google, which comes in very handy when you get old and CRS. I can listen to a song on youtube from the 1960s. Unfortunately, the internet also makes it very easy for people to spread rumors.

By the way, I never thought of Nancy Grace as "the news."

Another DUH!

As a little side note, I briefly visited DU this afternoon. Spent about 10-15 minutes reading their nonsense. A link took me there. I would never have violated common sense by visiting on my own. You wouldn't believe the misinformation they are repeating. Like 'George called 911 48 times in the last 14 months'....that kind of nonsense. Let's not repeat pure lies here, too.
You think minors don't get arrested? Minors get criminal records also.
