Dream Defenders? Never heard of them. It’s not that difficult to ignore something you’ve never heard of. How many of them are there? 6? 8? 12? Maybe they’re just auditioning for an intership at the race-baiting NBC/MSNBC network? At least they’re not stalking and attacking Peruvian-Americans. That’s a plus.
Machy Picchu man! I’ve gotta be a Machu Picchu man!..
Sorry.
Dream Defenders refers to the Dream Act, an effort to extend a helpful hand to young people who are, for all practical purposes, Americans. An effort to extend ourselves on behalf of young people who have done no wrong but face a ghastly prospect of deportation for no good reason.
Clearly a target for snide derision, and you rose to the challenge.
Not precisely derogatory. Just - disorganized and unrealistic.
And GZ had no obligation to stay in his truck or run back to it.
And since the state could not introduce an attempted anal rape scenario without at least some evidence to back that up then that hypothetical has no legal bearing.
We can dream up any multitude of scenarios that could have happened but are not supported by evidence. Maybe GZ confronted TM out of GZ’s desire to confess his role as Whitey Bulger’s hit man. Hearing such shocking revelations TM could have tried to make a citizen’s arrest and then GZ unlawfully killed him. Could have happened. But there is absolutely no evidence it went down that way.
Fundamentally this was the state’s major problem - an inability to provide evidence beyond a reasonable doubt in support of a scenario that made GZ legally liable.
In the BBQ Pit? I’m shocked, SHOCKED that something like that would happen in the BBQ Pit. :smack:
So the Dream Defenders are branching out and have included SYG in their “dream”. Are illegal aliens in favor of standing their ground or are they against it?
I’ve met very few actual cynics in my time. Its a harsh judgment, and I render it cautiously. I’ve yet to meet one who didn’t think of himself as hard-headed and realistic.
Might want to mull that over some time. Just a thought.
And yet, you couldn’t do it.
So, is there a cite for the “300 ft” bullshit that keeps oozing out of you? As you know, Zimmerman’s attorney, Don West, took great pains to establish that Jeantel couldn’t say exactly where Martin was located at any time, because - duh - she couldn’t see him. Why don’t you believe Don West, doorhinge?
Here’s how it works:
I’m right by my house. As I type this, I’m right by my house. But I’m walking as I type, okay?
So where am I, doorhinge? How many feet away from my house am I?
What, you don’t know? But I just told you. I’m right by my house!
Could you find the exact spot on a map?
Never mind you can’t see me and you’re not familiar with my location - where am I?
Come on, if Rachel Jeantel can do it, why can’t you? How many feet away from my house am I right now???
Hey, I admitted it was a bad joke! Sheesh!
Dunno. If they were there in support of Zimmerman, would that change anything for you? Might you be inclined to be more generous?
And they don’t think of themselves as illegal aliens, but as Americans caught in a legal limbo through no fault of their own. I’m inclined to agree.
I’d like to know how fast **doorhinge **thinks Martin was if, inside of a minute or so, he could gangsta-shuffle the lenghth of a football field, go inside the house to put his golf shoes on (another brilliant theory) and gansta-shuffle back another 300 feet in order lay the beat down on the guy he was previously running away from.
From the Serino Interview with Zimmerman (my emphasis):
Again, with emphasis. Serino was lying to Zimmerman, repeatedly, in order to elicit inconsistencies and contradictions. He testified to that on the stand, under oath. It’s an interrogation technique. Anything that Serino says in those interrogations has to be taken as a lie or a potential lie.
Jeantel never mentioned your location. In fact, Jeantel never mentioned you at all. If you’re lost, you should ask Jeantel or maybe a neighborhood watch volunteer for assistance.
Brandy Green’s house was over 300 feet away from the “T” according to the introduced evidence. Jeantel testified that TM was by his daddy fiance house.
West was attempting to impeach Jeantel’s testimony. That’s the job of the defense. Was he successful? As confusing as it was listening to Jeantel’s testimony, I don’t recall her changing her testimony about TM’s location.
Blah, blah, blah. In other words, you got nothing.
You know it’s not possible for her to know that, but you’re going to keep on pretending. Knock yourself out.
Yes, and discerning readers can discern which statements are lies, and which statements are factual.
I know. Those you wish were not a lie are “factual”. Because of course going 600 feet in four minutes is “against the laws of physics”.
I thought it was a great joke. It’s still running thru my mind. Machu Picchu man. I’ve gotta be a Machu Picchu man!.. I may curse you later tonight when I’m trying to sleep but right now it’s still witty.
Are they there in support of Zimmerman? I’m under the impression that they’ve trying to revise SYG. I’m also under the impression that they are recieving little actual support outside of a few media/blogger-types. :yawn:
GZ’s defense was based on standard, olde tyme, self-defense. Changing Florida’s SYG law wouldn’t apply to a future GZ-type of case. GZ wasn’t in a position to retreat.
TM had golf shoes on? I didn’t know that. On what day was that evidence introduced to the court?
Didn’t they introduce evidence in court that some 4 minutes had pass between the time GZ had lost sight of TM and when the shot was fired? Can you put golf shoes on in under 4 minutes?
I’ve got Jeantel’s testimony. Are you claiming that Jeantel is a lying liar?
I agree that Serino is no scientist. But I know which scenario is more likely, and so does he.
Same as you’re a lying liar for not knowing how far from my house I was when I told you: I was right by my house!
Still waiting for a cite for that 300 feet. TIA.
