If they did not have concealed weapon permits in FL, none of that would be necessary.
You're not very bright, are you?
Why the personal attack? If you think he's misinformed and it's worth responding, go ahead and explain where he has it wrong.
I think "misinformed" is a bit generous.

Not much to talk about when he doesn't think we should even be able to have CCW permits. Infringing on my individual liberty like that I find intolerable. I have a right to defend myself. Period.

Outa here, finally.
Can I have $100-200 dollars?

I don't think handing over his wallet would have helped either Zimmerman or Martin. The main thing that would have helped is if Martin had refrained from attacking Zimmerman.

I found this telling:

Pussy.

Martin had plenty of opportunity to disengage and stay that way. He had four minutes to decide to go back and commit a crime, which is what he did. He got shot for that, as the law permits.

The lesson is that you might want to be more careful about attacking people from behind in Florida because a good many of them carry guns and will shoot you if they have to.

I like that lesson and that message and would like to see it expanded nationwide. It's good for society for thugs to be afraid of being shot.

I agree with the above. Those "leaders" are like mullahs, all they are interested in is getting their face in the news and inciting idiots to riot... :|~

So that's dude made a good point. If they are not constantly protesting Black people who get away with shooting shoot black people and only make a fuss when non-black people get away are shooting black people, who are the racists? Also I saw some thing on a show which was called Rachel Jeantel, it could barely speak and I watched this thinking "Is this meant to help garner my sympathy or contempt?"

Again this seems to me about class rather than skin colour but I'm guessing (and I am well aware I may be wrong in this) that America is mostly in denial about its citizens been part of rigid cultural and economic strata because of the ideology of "you can make it if you try".

The stupidity of that post is breathtaking.
The only evidence for Martin attacking Zimmerman is that Zimmerman, ( the man who killed an unarmed kid ) said so.
Is that all you require to convince you?
And people have a go at me, for saying how stupid Americans are.

With moronic posts like that, I consider my case proved. Thanks very much.

Well, yes, if you ignore all the evidence the police collected at the scene and all of the eyewitness testimony that corroborated Zimmerman's story beyond any reasonable doubt. Thus sayeth a jury of his peers.

Take a pill dude, and read a news report sometime. You're flogging a very dead horse. Zimmerman is not guilty.

This is hilarious. People are complaining about the all white jury now, but it turns out the prosecution struck a black juror - for watching Fox News.
