I still dont understand why this is a big deal.
3 kids under the age of 10 were shot in chicago in one weekend while i was there. The media/government is making this bigger than it is all while I'm sure they are doing something or a story is being swept under the news rug. but you sheep play into this and thats what make you predictable and when you're predictable, you're controllable. |

My thoughts exactly!!! SHEEEEEEP! Profiling is part of our lives and part of security and being a police officer, hell it was TAUGHT in my CJ classes in college. We are profiled everyday we get behind the wheel of our "imports", dont want to be profiled like that, dont drive it. Dont want to be profiled as a potential threat dont dress like the ones that are! Really no sense in anyone arguing on this worthless, time and money consuming case.. Tons more issues we should be debating than another kid being shot and killed, happens everyday...

The intent issue is interesting as well. It would be required for the 2nd degree murder charge but not the Manslaughter or the 3rd degree felony charge. Like I alluded to before - I saw this as an imperfect self defense case which means that he used more force then was reasonably allowed. Stand your ground was important to this case when it came to the initial investigation. In most states - when someone is shot, the shooter is arrested and the case is investigated as a homicide. That is a good thing. We want to investigate those things to make sure that the only person who is saying what happened is telling the truth. With SYG - the police can make a prejudicial decision that someone is innocent. I just think that is completely unfair and impairs the judicial process. I know there are tons of other arguments against SYG - but for this conversation I am sticking to purely procedural issues that it creates for a prosecution. As far as how young your victim is - think of it like this, you sleep with a girl who says she is 18 but in reality shes 15. That is statutory rape, no matter what you say, you lose. You get the victim that is presented to you, you do not have to know their age so if you kill them and they are under a certain age it does not matter whether you knew that or not. 17 seems to close to being considered an adult... but Florida is absolutely nuts so you never know. |

Sure, but I do not follow those people and inevitably shoot them. What I am trying to distinguish is the difference between being a "racist" and committing a crime that violates someones civil rights because of their "race." Subtle, but important.

I must not understand civil rights.. cause GZ followed and approached TM with in my opinion no intention of shooting or even fighting him, but simply doing his job as a security guard. Whether he followed him just cause he's black doesn't violate any rights, cops can follow a "suspicious vehicle" and inevitably pull them over for being nothing but "suspicious". What happens from that point is whats in question which I cant argue, but following cause he's black doesnt violate any rights

But, to kind of explain it - Zimmerman was not a law enforcement official. Therefore, he has no right to act under the color of the state (acting like a police officer). His only right would be to call the police, maybe follow, and maybe even ask him what he was doing. So, the theory of those who want the case is that the only reason Martin was followed was because he was black (not that Zimmerman was really out there to shoot the first black kid he saw). That is why it is unlikely to happen - all of the cases I have seen are when it is blatantly obvious that the person was murdered based on race (dropping N bombs and overkill are the big ones). The important part of the statute is this "to any person, because of the actual or perceived race, color, religion, or national origin of any person." So, in theory you do not have to be a racist to commit a race based hate crime. 18 USC ยง 249 - Hate crime acts | Title 18 - Crimes and Criminal Procedure | U.S. Code | LII / Legal Information Institute You have a civil right to walk around, walk home and not be confronted and shot. So, if the only reason he was followed/stalked and eventually shot was because he was black, then you have a violation of his basic civil rights. You also have to consider that Martin had not broke any laws and, arguably, had every right to "stand his ground" or "defend" himself against a person he feared was following/stalking him. |

Ok so at least we are both not experts here hahah! But as a security he does have a duty to do his job which "maybe follow" and call the police, from what Ive seen this is what he did. In addition asking TM what he was doing, where any one of us would probably say going home fuck off, but I dont think thats what TM did. At some point, people have to take responsibility for putting themselves in situations.. Not saying its his fault but he could have said going home and kept walking and then this wouldnt even be a topic of discussion. I HIGHLY doubt this will bring a civil suit, if it does we'll get another circus for a year...

As for a civil suit - it is more likely than not. The standard to win the civil suit is much lower. Remember the O.J. Simpson case where he was acquitted but lost a huge civil suit. This could end up the same way. Just depends on the Martin family willingness to keep living through this to win a meaningless sum of money and a decision in their favor. I also think the city of Sanford will be sued civilly. They fired their Chief of Police over this incident which is a pretty big admission of guilt. The federal civil rights case would be another criminal trial, not a civil suit if that is what you meant. |

ineedone, what do you make of this? A group of 13/14 year old black kids beat a white man almost to death, and now he's dead 9 months later. To say there's a double standard is an understatement. Only whites can profile, infringe upon another's civil rights, and be racist.
Cincinnati man who was badly beat by 'bored' teens dies There's really something wrong with America's youth in poor urban areas and something needs to be done about THAT before "civil rights" and "racism" are made into social issues. Quote:
Comparing this trial to OJ's is comical. They have nothing in common other than heavy media attention. |

Also, if you take them at their word they did not beat him because he was white. They did it because they were just bored. If they said they were looking for white men to beat up then that is a different story. I think racism and the lack of civil rights for some is a reason why some urban areas are so bad. That is another discussion though. |

Wait - cracka... the "A" makes all the difference. Sounds more like Matrin was the racist and thought he was going teach some dorky "cracka" a leasson and give the beat down to a "white" boy. |

Both sides tried to play the jury, that is what you do in a case. You present your theory to the jury in the most sympathetic way possible. The difference is when you have a well funded defense it makes it nearly impossible to compete. Hence why people with money (or a fat legal fund like Zimmerman) typically get off or get lower charges. That is just a fact of our legal system. |

I do not care to comment on your opinion, it has nothing to do with the Zimmerman case at all. If you want to believe all "urban" (we get it, you mean black... just say it) kids are out there looking to commit crimes, so be it. Nothing I say will change your mind. If you have a legal question I will be happy to comment. |

As for why he 'followed' the kid, I really really really don't think it was because he was black. He was in a hoody, sneaking around houses, that's suspicious. And to add to that, they had a problem with break-ins recently. You make some good points dude, but I still think justice prevailed in this case. To the people claiming he didn't listen to the 911 operators 'orders' not to follow the kid, that is BS on many levels. 1. They don't make orders over the phone because then it comes back on them if something bad happens. 2. Therefore, they only make recommendations, hence the convo "We don't need you to do that" that doesn't sound like an order to me. 3. Since they only give recommendations, there is no law that you have to follow what they say, and they would like to keep it that way otherwise they would get dragged into this kind of thing all the time.

I think people are upset that obvious racial profiling and hate crime stuff is being ignored to push this episode, which really isn't a race issue.

there are issues in this nation that require more attention from the people than this sad tragedy. issues that can and will affect everyone in the 50 states if they are not discussed. instead we have people rioting and protesting the outcome of this event while citizens in the US are being targeted and spied upon, among other detestable and fascist actions, by criminal elements within our government. this country is now repeating the process that germany went through in 1933 and no one except a few seem to get it or give a shit. shits need to be given now, when you're loaded onto cattle cars the time is too late.

But as far as the 911 operator - Legally they are not allowed to give orders because of liability issues. That was one of the bigger myths of this case, that the operator gave an order not to follow. I believe they said "we do not need you to do that." Quote:
What I think a lot of people miss is that the initial outrage was not that he was killed by a hispanicsih/whiteish guy because he was black, but that his murder was not investigated because he was black. That is to say, that because some guy said this suspicious black guy was around and attacked me that the police accepted that story whole sale even though only one of the two people were around to tell that story. I get the media twisted it as much as possible, but in the beginning this was about a kid being treated like a criminal who deserved to be shot. When in reality he was an innocent kid just getting candy from a store walking to his Dad's home - and that fact alone made him suspicious and allowed his pursuer/stalker to shoot and kill him with impunity. |

![]() Any random act and/or tragedy + Anything easily spun to reap large return on investment (ratings) = HYPE THAT SHIT UP!!! Personally, I wasn't there and like most everyone else in this thread; I haven't sat and read the entire courtroom transcripts front to back. Therefore I have no opinion on who deserved what. However, the bottom line is that our loveable, sweet & innocent little Tryevon found out the hard way that attacking and commencing to pummel a guy with a conceal & carry permit is never a good idea. Black, white, brown or yellow is irrelevant. The only thing I see in this whole shabang is as follows: Stupid kid made stupid choice and payed the ultimate price for being stupid.
