Wowza!
Nurse, get me her Meds, QUICK!
Nancy Grace on Thursday got into an extremely heated debate with Frank Taaffe, a friend of George Zimmerman, over the series of events that led to the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Taaffe argued that Zimmerman had a “legal right to carry” his firearm with him and was doing nothing wrong when he noticed a “suspicious” character.
“He was a legal concealed weapons permit carrier,” he said.
For some reason, Grace was baffled by the mention of a concealed weapons permit. “A legal concealed weapons carrier,” she shot back. “Did you just say that?”
Taaffe reiterated that Zimmerman was breaking no laws by carrying his gun as he had a permit to do so.
“I don’t care!” Grace replied. “Jeffrey Dahmer had a legal right to have knives and a boiling pot! That doesn’t mean it’s okay!”
The two then tangled over whether Zimmerman was “just sauntering around with a gun looking to gun down a young black male.”
“That’s exactly– he was sauntering around with a gun,” Grace claimed.
Losing his composure, Taaffe leaned into the camera and shouted, “[Zimmerman] said he’s on drugs! And they found THC in his system, did they not?”
At this, Grace ordered one of her producers to cut Taaffe’s mic, effectively ending the debate.

I personally have not and will not take sides on this debate, I was not there.
But, it seems to me that things have really gotten out of hand.
Especially the judge and the doj shit.
I'm sure that would not have been allowed on the other side.
Well you see the Clantons, and the McLaury's and Billy Claiborne was in town lookin' for Zimmerman.
You see how it was, dontcha?
Christine,
I get not taking sides, but the evidence has been presented.
Trayvon was a UFC fan.
His cell phone contained hundreds of videos of fights with he, his friends, and ufc fighters, many in which the fighter got on top of his opponent and beat on his face, IN EXACTLY THE WAY IT WAS TESTIFIED THAT HE BEAT ZIMMERMAN.
AND THE EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT ZIMMERMAN'S WOUNDS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE TESTIMONY PROVIDED THAT TRAYVON WAS ON TOP OF ZIMMERMAN, PUNCHING HIM IN THE FACE WITH BOTH FISTS REPEATEDLY.
This is when Zimmerman shot Trayvon.
Florida has a law that says, if one feels FEELS that his life is in danger, then he can respond with lethal force, including shooting the person who is threatening him.
That seems pretty clear cut to me, and I feel confident that I can make a judgement based upon that.
In fact, now that I think about it, your decision not to make a judgement on a trial which was presented IN TOTAL on TV is really just willful ignorance, which could come out of reasonably lacking the time to do the research.
Guess it is willful. Haven't actually followed it.
More interested in the world events.
That doesn't excuse Zimmerman for getting out of his car and confronting Martin. Martin wasn't doing anything wrong to begin with. Zimmerman initiated the event that ended in someone's death. I cannot side with Zimmerman.
violence was in initiated by martin, if martin had acted like a civilized human being instead of a thug he would be alive today.
just becuase zimmerman got out of his vehicle and asked someone in his neighborhood a question does not give the other person the right to respond with violence.
once martin the thug did that he reaped what he had sown.
what ever happens to zimmerman martin brought violence to the situation.
Actually I think the report says that Zimmerman reported what the suspicious dude (Trayvon) looked like to the police and started walking back to his car.
It was Trayvon who at some point approached Zimmerman and said something like "you got a f***in problem?" Zimmerman says, "no" and Trayvon, high on drugs and carrying sh*t for brains says, "Well you do now."
But hey, we've all been told by liberals and the likes of CNN and other dimwits that this was racial profiling by Zimmerman belonging to a new kind of race called "white hispanic". so let's not let the facts get in the way.

Zimmerman was reckless, but that is viewable as a fact ONLY in retrospect.
Has he known he would have been confronted by so serious a situation he would feel compelled to fire, would he have got out of his car?
If the answer to that is yes, then he would IMHO, be guilty of manslaughter.
How in hell has that been proved BEYOND a reasonable doubt?
2nd degree murder? Not to me.
I THINK he was a reckless fool, and a death resulted, but THINK is not beyond a reasonable doubt. Not enough to put someone in jail for 25-30.
I would feel compelled to cast an uncomfortable NOT GUILTY.
