    Last I checked it wasn't a neighborhood watchman's job to tail a person after being instructed to stand down by the police with a loaded firearm and then confront and kill them with it and I don't want to live in any country where that is their job.

    Yeah seriously. There is enough evidence to get him for manslaughter at the LEAST . I can't believe anyone who's actually seen the info about this bullshit actually stands up for zimmerman.

    Allot of people have pictures like this on facebook that does not make them a bad person.
    Also when you say that the media only puts "good" pictures up. Of course they only put the good pictures up. Him with a picture like this should not decide wether he was at fault or not .

    I just tweeted this picture of me giving the finger.

    Clearly I am an awful person who deserved to be shot in cold blood.

    I will also respond to @ironchin 's ludicrous statements soon, but I am to busy right now as I am packing up to head out to my parents house for Easter

    If you ever get shot, I am now forced to side with the shooter as you are clearly the spawn of Satan.

    edit: Oh and you have to do it shirtless as it adds to the audacity and recklessness of your character. Just to make sure that nobody will ever support you because you are clearly a no- good thug.

    I can't wait.
    I hope you're not implying that I believe in anything of the sort Stalin, to strengthen your case or whatever reason, because that would be something pretty lame. This is getting very silly and out of hand.

    These two pictures were the ones most commonly used, to the point of near exclusivity. They're the ones celebrities are retweeting, they're the ones used on signs and fliers. Google image search "Trayvon Martin" and "George Zimmerman" if you want to see for yourself. This is the simplest example, but there are many others.

    I have a problem with this. Why? Because as I said before, it’s plain naïve to suggest that such facts or pictures don’t influence our feelings about a person’s ability to commit a crime (and on the flipside, ability to pose a serious threat to a fully grown man). I wanted to tell people here that what many of them were getting from the news was biased, and that might affect their opinions. I used rather blunt examples to illustrate this. Some people got what I was trying to say. Others clearly misread my intentions and twisted them. I have maintained from the beginning that I believe Zimmerman didn't have probable cause to shoot Martin, but at the same time I believe the possibility exists, if small, that Zimmerman did. I'll add that either way, I believe that it's a tragedy that Trayvon was killed, and that Zimmerman didn't need to use lethal force at all even if the law allows him to. Is that so horrible? Of all the things people have said on this site, you felt the need to use your Twitter to attack that? I have never in any way said that because Martin has done some unsavoury things that it means he was any more deserving of being shot. There's no need to insinuate crap like that. Despite that, I believe that when people know that it was an 18 year old football player who was aggressive and provocative on a social networking site and had recently engaged in illegal activity was claimed to have attacked and posed a threat to a fully grown man rather than a smiling 12 year old in a Hollister shirt, it will allow people to make generally more rational opinions.

    You accused me of ad hominem. But is this not heavily implied ad hominem against Zimmerman? And now you're coming close to using ad hominem against me.

    That sucks for you all he did was present the evidence as it stands really.

    Also you heard the recordings of Trayvon screaming for help for 40 seconds before getting shot? If that was zimmermans voice he must have the voice of a young man.

    It was neither! There was a third party involved who managed to trick Zimmerman into thinking he shot Travon. Probably aliens, but I have to keep my vision in the grand scope for now.

    So people are getting pissed of at Salomon. The reason is that they believe the new Salomon Suspects are made after this incident with Travon Martin . Here is the picture of the skis. People are also complaining about the name of the skis even though the suspect line of skis has been around for a few years (I have the 2010 model). It was all a coincidence since the design was most likely made before the incident.

    Some newschoolers folks are pretty upset, but mainly its non skiers who found this offensive. Even though it has nothing to do with some kid getting shot.

    Nah man, it was the those damn freemasons. It was engineered to stir up sentiments and that sort of thing. Obviously it is part of a larger scheme to prepare the world for freemason takeover.

    Well of course it was the freemasons, but you are forgetting that the freemasons are only tools of the Jews. Hell, chances are most people are tools of the Jews, we must rise up!

    I suddenly realized the truth! It is in fact the Church of Scientology! They are behind everything! It is obvious! The freemasons is just a front for the Church in their attempts to rule the world through mind control and telekinesis!

    No I'm sorry you guys have it all wrong. It's all Obama fault. He has planned it all. Rather Obama's bosses the Builderberg group have. A group of the richest and most powerful people in the world. They have planned everything out, hundreds of years in advance, they pick all the Presidents and use the Freemasons and Illuminati as a distraction so they can install their true New World Order. An Anglo-Saxon kingdom that spans the entire Earth. They will achieve this by killing 90% of the population though war and disease. Check it out



    It's totally legit.
