  1. A 240 pound stranger pursuing you at night in their car then gets out of their car to pursue you on foot is enough to threaten a person with no words being said.Thats often how rapist and murderers attack their victims

    Republicans join call for Trayvon Martin inquiry

    By Michael O'Brien, msnbc.com



    Republicans joined the call for an investigation into the shooting death of Trayvon Martin on Friday, adding rare, bipartisan support in the racially-charged case.

    The main Republican presidential contenders each decried the shooting of Martin, a 17-year-old African-American, allegedly by a neighborhood watch member, and joined with President Obama and other Democrats in supporting a Department of Justice investigation into the incident.

    "What happened to Trayvon Martin is a tragedy. There needs to be a thorough investigation that reassures the public that justice is carried out with impartiality and integrity," Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney said in a statement.

    Rick Santorum, Romney's main rival for the GOP nomination, added: "It's a horrible case, and it's chilling to hear what happened ... I think it's pretty clear the problems we're seeing in this case, and hopefully the state Attorney General and local community is reacting and responding, and hopefully this matter will be an example of what law enforcement has to do in a case like this."

  8. Hypothetical:

    I'm walking down the street minding my own biz. You run up to me out of nowhere get in my face demanding why I'm there and what I'm doing. I say "Go f^ck yourself. Who do you think you are?" An heated argument ensues. I push you. A fist fight breaks out. You're getting your ass kicked, you pull out your rod and put one in my head.

    Is anyone here seriously suggesting that YOU have no liability here?

    NOT necessarily. I wouldn't pull my Colt .45 and shoot someone just for following me.

  10. Well… Here’s how I see it… I think Zimmerman was a little bitch for bringing a gun to a fist fight. But I also think that he acted within the law.

    I think that Zimmerman did act in self defense despite the fact that he was a complete and total asshole…

    Here’s why…

    Self-Defense

    Someone is walking up behind you and harassing you… Asking you questions… They grab you and you react by punching them in the nose. Then you say… “Fuck off man…!”… This is more or less OK… The person following you grabbed you and you reacted to protect yourself.

    Not Self-Defense

    The same scenario as above but after you punch the guy you “mount” him UFC style and start to bash his skull in with punch after punch. Now you’ve become the aggressor and are in fact committing battery…

    In Zimmerman’s case (despite being the asshole in this whole entire fuck up) he was faced with the UFC like scenario of being mounted and being repeatedly punched in the head… He also shouted for help. This is known as “verbally tapping”… When someone cries out you’re supposed to stop your assault. At this point Martin should have stopped what he was doing and begin to talk to the guy. Like… “OK dude… I’m done!”… And proceeded to disengage… Didn’t happen… and Zimmerman shot him. Zimmerman shooting him was a bitch move no doubt about it but it was legal.

    I’ve done plenty of MMA training and been in some scuffles… Quite a while ago when I was much younger I got into a verbal altercation with an 18-19 year old asshole who started to follow me around swearing at my back. I mean he was swearing and yelling pretty loudly and being threatening… Both me and him are/where white by the way… I couldn’t ignore him forever so I was like “Wanna’ fucking go douchebag?”… So he rushes me and we grapple… I take him down and I get on top of him… I didn’t punch, just went for a quick standard Jiu Jitsu wrist lock… But the difference between me and the assholes committing assault was the following… I asked the guy “Wanna’ give up now or you want me to snap something…!???”… Dude was like… “OK… OK… I’m done…!?”… And we were cool after that.

    Point is you’ve got to stay “VERBAL”…!!! Even if you’re fighting the guy you can’t lose your cool and go apeshit. You have to be aware of the other guy and how badly you’re kicking his ass. AND when he’s done you can’t torture and humiliate him regardless of how much of an asshole he was. There are rules to this and you’ve got to follow them.
