Now as for this case, it’s in central Florida, many miles removed. I doubt you were there, I know I wasn’t there…so how can any of us do more than make assumptions? When the publisher of the Atmore Advance hints that this a racially motivated issue with no more knowledge of the attack than you and me, isn’t something missing? Anyone ever heard of ‘yellow journalism?’

Some segments of society would love to make a racial issue out of this in order to push their own agenda. Stirring the masses to ensure unrest and to gain their own means to an end.

How about the facts? None of which are known at this time. I suppose the next thing you’ll say is that anyone who doesn’t share your point of view is a racist too? Come on, give me a break, that’s a retread attack from way back.

Everyone needs to get the facts, let the grand jury do their job and go from there. Yet you can see just from following the news that the Zimmerman guy is going to be convicted of something…Scott has appointed a special prosecutor and the city has replaced its police chief with a politically correct alternative.

I’m not sure if this post will make it past the scrutiny of the moderator but one thing is for sure. I’m right about this and I’ll be right about this thing tomorrow and the next day too. It’s a politically charged issue now and regardless of what Zimmerman does/or did that night he’s most likely headed to prison, or worse, in order to appease the masses, not necessarily the interests of justice.

The only reason this guy was never arrested in the first place is he has a relationship with the cops and his daddy is a retired magistrate. Now we find out his Neighborhood Watch group was not registered and he was the self appointed captain and he had a criminal record.

Stick to the subject and the subject is this case here in Florida, right now. What does some case in NYC years ago have to do with what’s going on right now in our state today? How do you know someone has a weak argument . . . . when they start changing the subject and providing poor examples of events far removed from the subject at hand.

This case is ultimately the fault of the FL Republican legislature that allowed a powerful gun lobby to walk right into the state and change the gun laws unopposed. Since the law has been in effect, its doubled the number of cases where someone is claiming self defense after a clear murder.

The NRA is always trying to paint a picture of why these type of laws are needed because “criminals” will be coming into our homes and trying to get us, but most of the cases have been like this a law abiding guy, no criminal record, legal owning a gun but when it comes time for him to use it, he does the wrong thing with it. He was probably drunk or high too but they never tested him.
