ZIMMERMAN TRIAL LIVE LINK

[muddywings]

Hell, forget the media overhyping this BS, tell the POTUS he should not get involved:

(CNN) - President Barack Obama issued the following statement Sunday following the verdict in the George Zimmerman trial.

"The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Not just for his family, or for any one community, but for America. I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. And as we do, we should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities. We should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis. We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, that’s a job for all of us. That’s the way to honor Trayvon Martin."

Sorry, I won't be honoring a young thug who beat the crap out of someone and got shot for doing it.

...and if defending yourself from having your brains bashed in, that doesn't make it part of the "tide of gun violence". Would we rather have physically stronger individuals in control?

Look to Chicago, Mr. President.

Considering his age, he was an "Illegal gun" owner........

maybe this will spark a debate about lowering the handgun age limits....

- At least GZ's handgun was a pretty cheap and easily replaced Kel-Tec PF-9. Although he can apply to have it returned, might be best to let Sanford PD disposition it or destroy it, and just get another elsewhere

- Although riots have not materialized, I think this trial and the continued pressure of the race baiters will move race relations backward. This trial may not be the "key moment" that sparks severe and long-lasting racial division, but it will be used as a catalyst in the future for other events that will indeed be the catalyst.

A few small spats have happened. I believe Oakland had some problems last night. Overall, way less than I expected.

Hell yes he should get his gun back, and if he's smart he will get a signed copy of the evidence tag receipt and keep it. the go straight down to a bank and put both in a safety deposit box. (I know this is twisted, but my mind just works like this.) Guns with documented history to them are worth serious money. 100 years from now, that POS keltec will be put his great grandkids through college.

-President Obama

Stem the tide of gun violence, or raise our children properly? There wouldn't have been "gun violence" had little Treyvon kept his damn hands to himself. I'm trying to remember the last time (even as a child) I laid a hand upon someone for following and or confronting me, in a non physical fashion........ NEVER!

Die down?.....how many times have you posted in this thread alone ? The media, left or right, loves it when people get all crazy and angry with the sh!t they say. Look at half of you.....your posting stuff from CNN and other news outlets most us would never patronize. Now all of sudden your combing their articles.....I don't get it.

Yes I posted in this thread quite a bit because I cared about the case. As someone who has been a victim of violence and wounded both physically and psychologically I had sympathy for the situation. I did not go cower in my closet after my incidents I recovered, analyzed and learned from them so that I could avoid them and be prepared if something else happened. Basically I rooted for Zimmerman while most of the media did not left or right. Since this is a firearms related website and I like firearms, I post on this forum mostly about firearm related issues. Quite frankly it was nice to create post that others could relate too on this case and read other members thoughts and ideas about was going on. Admit it or not many of us can go to our workplace and talk about related issues because of potential misunderstandings. To chat on Facebook you risk creating a firestorm with your friends and family. Quite frankly with the laws that were passed in Colorado and the way things have been politically for several years one does not find many positive avenues to talk about firearm related issues in many other social settings. Yes I do research what the other side is saying if I so inclined, not something I frequently do but if it is important to me I will do that. My posts on this matter are starting to decline on this Zimmerman case , and I hope my next outburst of posts will be talking about and overturn of the Magazine and Transfer laws, quite honestly I rather be hunting, fishing, trading, buying and shooting 15 rounds or more than creating a post!

If those were his bed sheets, that's effing gross.
