Mea Culpa: George Zimmerman case

If that’s all you want, start one in MPSIMS asking for advice about adopting furry animals.

He’s entitled to the presumption of innocence as far as I’m concerned. I’m troubled deeply by the accusations, because he appears to have rushed into something he should definitely have avoided and a boy is dead. I’ll go with what the jury or juries have to say. I say juries because he could also be tried in federal court for civil rights violations. That could result in a guilty and a not guilty verdict.

Did you hear Zimmerman runs a website on circumcision? Offers an at-home kit for do-it-yourselfers even.

Hitler was misunderstood.
Cats are stupid.
Little kids should be gagged.
Bicycles are a menace.
The gold standard will come back and the US will go bankrupt.
There’s no such thing as an Austrian.
You cannot fuck a paper towel roll and no one has ever been molested.

eta: Rape

Man, I just don’t want to be here when Past Him tries to calm Future Him down, as Future Him is trying to beat Present Him with the butt of a non-functioning-because-we-haven’t-have-Pre-Tesla-Aether-Energy-since-the-1920s Death Ray, that he got from Way Past Him, while Future Him’s Future Grandkids in hoodies ask why they can’t just get along…

He’ll be the man who scolded himself!

On the other hand, if his grandfather comes out of the time machine and kills him, there is no paradox problem.

That’s all I’m trying to say. Yes, that only applies in the courts, but that also doesn’t mean I have license to say whatever I please without thinking. I should judge on all the evidence… much of which was too early to say, much of which turned out to be ambiguous.

If anyhere thinks Zimmerman is guilty, then so be it. I cannot in good conscience say that I’m certain either way. I can in better conscience say that I ought not to have judged so rashly.

Oh, and I declawed my cat and ride my bike on the street AND the sidewalk with my declawed cat on a leash. And he’s a male cat but I still named him Fluffy.

That was a crime in 14 states until those damn liberal justices threw all the good laws out in the '60s.

Of course you do – this is the SDMB! You’re better at it than most. :stuck_out_tongue:

There’s plenty of information to judge Zimmerman as a lying fool.

This is going to sound really mean coming out of my keyboard, but your opinion one way or the other is of such zero consequence that I really have to wonder if this thread isn’t just some non-elaborate ploy for attention.

Some of us have been in marathon discussions about Zimmerman for almost 4 months now and honestly, this is the first time I’ve seen your username connected to the subject. What are you looking for here? Did you think we’ve all been waiting on the edge of our seats, wondering what your latest thoughts are in this case?

It’s like starting a thread to apologize for farting in an empty room. We don’t care if you rushed to judgement or not. If you really wanted to flagellate yourself over this in a sincere, non attention-whoring manner, you’d have done so in one of the eleventy other threads we already have on this subject.

Goddamn it, the end.

Pot. Meet Kettle.

I haven’t posted in any Zimmerman/Trayvon threads, so my opinion must really count.

Until now, of course.

Indeed. Fortunately, he can’t be convicted of murder on the grounds of being a lying fool.

If you really want a multi-page thread, there’s one way to do it. First, get a paper towel tube.

Rape Month isn’t until February.

“Fluffy”? At least you didn’t name him “Pinky”.

D’oh!
