> [@DragonAsh](#): > > According to Dee Dee, Martin was ‘near’ his house. Depending on context, the 7-11 a mile away could be ‘near’. Compared to the clubhouse mailbox kiosk where he was previously, moving up the cut-through could be ‘near’. Pretty meaningless. except you keep forgetting that he said this in response to why he wasn’t going to run to his house. Because he was right by his house. Not “near”, RIGHT BY. He’s given a reason for not having to run to the hose. In court she puts Martin at his dad’s house. > [@Predict the Outcome of Florida vs. George Zimmerman](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/predict-the-outcome-of-florida-vs-george-zimmerman/661528/116): > > I should point out how hilarious it is that Team Zimmerman finds Dee Dee completely unreliable when she says something incriminating for Zimmerman (‘Zimmerman suddenly appeared behind Martin’, 'I heard Martin say ‘get off, get off’), She said she heard it a little bit. She was asked to clarify this and she said it again. She heard it a little bit. Logically the person saying this would not whisper this but say it LOUDER. If it was Martin she would have heard it clearly. So it had to be said away from the microphone. The only other person there away from the microphone is the person claiming he was attacked which would coincide with Zimmerman’s account. His account is backed up with witnesses to an attack and physical evidence of an attack. You’re absolutely grasping at straws here. > [@Predict the Outcome of Florida vs. George Zimmerman](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/predict-the-outcome-of-florida-vs-george-zimmerman/661528/116): > > [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]And we wonder why the rest of the world looks at the US gun culture and shakes its collective head. > [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]I am willing to bet every dollar in my pocket, against every dollar in your pocket, that people carrying guns shoot more people than people not carrying guns. I would also bet that people carrying guns shoot more unarmed people than people not carrying guns. > > [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]Objection - relevance. I don’t think I’ve followed your sub-thread here, but what is this even supposed to show? A belt clip holster worn on the belt has the gun -outside- of your persons. Zimmerman had an inner waistband holster; the gun was tucked inside his waistband, near his rear back pocket and concealed by his shirt & jacket.[/SIZE][/FONT] :dubious: He’s going to drive in a car with a gun over his rear back pocket where it will be extremely uncomfortable and hard to reach on top of wearing a jacket. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/state-of-florida-vs-george-zimmerman-trial-thread/661501)._
