After reading about the dective cross yesterday afternoon, this sounds done. Sure hope they are smart enough to wrap this up when it's cool and rainy. If it's hot & dry we might see the usual riots. . .
The prosecution is getting hammered by their own witnesses, but now the judge has jumped in to help. It's already been decided Z is guilty. I mean really, little Trey was only 17 and buying skittles. That, in and of itself makes him innocent. Z is a white hispanic devil, wanna'be cop, and that in and of itself makes him guilty. Add the trump card of Obama saying little Trey could be his son...sheeet man, Z will be lucky to avoid death row. Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda began by asking the judge to strike from the record a statement Detective Chris Serino made Monday in which he said he found credible Zimmerman's account of how he got into a fight with Trayvon Martin. De la Rionda argued the statement was improper because one witness isn't allowed to give an opinion on the credibility of another witness. Defense attorney Mark O'Mara argued it was proper because Serino was vetting Zimmerman's veracity in his probe. Judge Debra Nelson told jurors to disregard the statement. "This is an improper comment," the judge said.
It wasn't long ago that you or one of your teammates was denying the influence of heat on violent behavior.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nutmeg what are you talking about? The community is latino white and black. George live there too. George know this community have latino, white and black people. What are you talking about? People in that community can have family and friends come to their house to visit. So they are strange to George, but no one have to tell Jorge they have family coming to visit. George is not the owner of the land and community to ask permission to have family to visit.
Well it happened I finally watched two minutes of this tabloid Zimmerman drama on nightline. That's it for me, I can't believe you girls are watching this crap.
I wonder how you would feel if Zimmerman was black and patrolling your neighborhood armed. Would you just accept he's making your neighborhood supposably safer ? Would you appreciate being followed and how would you know he's not a criminal ? What if he had known friends you suspected were in gangs ? What exactly are you saying makes someone qualified for this role ? Is it minimum age, training with a weapon, psychological tests, and maybe a law course ? I'd think at a minimum all of these. As much as I'd like to think people will ignore colour, when I read these threads the ideas being presented by some people seems to suggest otherwise. Same dialog about Muslims would be instructive. Can people look by their insecurities and treat everyone equal not on appearances.
Okay, short story and true. Young white girl with 1 yo old baby, moves into neighborhood like you describe, with her boyfriend. Several months go by and she is walking her baby in stroller about 1/2 way up the block and "a" front porch has a large black man smoking a cig. He yells out to her, "What are you doing on my street?" She said "I live here too." He told her to go walk on the "other side of the street" "This is my block". Personally I would guess this has never happened to you TL. Secondly, I would guess you never met anyone that this has happened to. The young girl moved out of the neighborhood and decided diversity is crap, mixed neighborhoods are crap and as Mohamed Ali summed up perfectly: bluebirds hang with bluebirds and eagles hang with eagles.
