Quote from futurecurrents:
Except I never said he should charged with murder. The fact that you don't think he should be arrested says a lot about you.
Yes, one thing it says about me is that I am inclined to give the police the benefit of the doubt, that is, I'm willing to place some confidence in their ability to make a determination as to whether a crime has occurred or not.
If there had been any indication that this was a murder then I think the police would have at least detained Zimmerman and conducted interviews at the police station etcetera.
For the police to have simply released Zimmerman and given him his registered weapon means to me that the evidence that they had before them must have been pretty compelling.
I've read post after post in this thread where people seem able to dismiss any of the facts about what occurred and are prepared to convict Zimmerman of murder on the strength of the fact that a black kid was killed by a white man and nothing else.
The Sanford police did not even charge Zimmerman with a crime of any kind, handed his weapon back to him and sent him to the hospital to treat his broken nose and head laceration.
It was clear to them from Zimmeran's own account and the statement by an eyewitness that Martin layed in wait and ambushed Zimmerman as he was walking to his truck. Martin proceed to assault Zimmerman breaking his nose and cutting the back of his head while Zimmerman screamed for help. At some point Zimmerman was able to brandish his weapon and he shot Martin. The stand-your-ground self-defense law in Florida was observed, the weapon was registered and Zimmerman had a permit to carry that weapon in a concealed manner.
Your self-hatred and loathing of all caucasians causes you to dismiss the circumstance of what occurred and to call for murder charges. I'm sure that will not happen. Obama can force the DOJ to charge him with something but I'm pretty confident that he will prevail and that Obama will be shown to harbor the same racisim that you do.
Being stupid and then compounding that with liberal self-hatred has got to make you a very unhappy man. I feel pity towards you but also resentment because I know that your type of people are destroying the values that our country was founded on. It is your type of thinking that caused genocide in places like Cambodia.
