He wasn't a LEO, so this doesn't apply.<br /><br />2) the second has something to do with racial bias, meaning Zimmerman was after Martin solely because he was black. Not only was this untrue but:<br /><br /> a) the FBI has already concluded that racial bias had nothing to do with this event.<br /><br /> b) NBC actually had to manipulate the 911 tapes in order to make Zimmerman appear racist. The 911 person had to ask him what Martin's color was. Only then was the word "black" mentioned by Zimmerman. A pox on NBC for doing this.<br /><br /> c) The only racial bias was on the part of Martin with his "creepy ass cracker" comment against Zimmerman.<br /><br /> d) It is also a proven fact that Zimmerman was taking part in the "big brother" program and was working with 2 young black youths.<br /><br /> e) It is also a proven fact that the DOJ sent down pot stirrers at tax payers expense to keep the mess stirred up against Zimmerman. How would that fact play out in front of a jury?<br /><br />But I have to admit that Old NFO's comment takes precedent over mine about not letting the facts muddy the case.<br /><br />Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967355941603195101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244590063851118977.post-72128581186924962532013-07-15T09:11:04.060-04:002013-07-15T09:11:04.060-04:00what concerns me is that mr. zimmerman may have to...what concerns me is that mr. zimmerman may have to spend he rest of his life paying court costs, and him an innocent.<br />they've ruined his life as much as possible.<br />the nervous pressure on his wife is probably affecting her health. more expenses to medical treatment.<br /><br />as a child, i could not imagine very many in hell. now i'm old, 64, i see why 'the jaws of hell widen'. they are going to be packed in there like sardines!<br />i hope i'm not one of them.<br />God has protected mr. z thus far. we pray that He will continue.<br />deb harveyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2244590063851118977.post-42644638893751254502013-07-14T15:52:22.703-04:002013-07-14T15:52:22.703-04:00Harry, I have no idea how the law works but nothin...Harry, I have no idea how the law works but nothing would surprise me.
