The United States of the Offended GDG

People need to stop being Stupid like Spike Lee and tweeting an address saying its George Zimmermans when it wasnt and now an elderly couple have had to leave their home... I wouldnt want to have an angry mob outside my front door with a Million dollar bounty dead or alive I think we should all demand that Spike lee be arrested for endangering someones life... .. than he talks all day about going to a march be sure we all wear are hoodies but instead he goes to a Nicks game and doesnt even wear a hoodie.

really? arrest him? but not the guy who shot an unarmed man? interesting......-Paul

GIVE IT UP!

those that oppose you on this issue are pleased that a guy who provoked a dangerous situation and had the table turned on him could possibly escape justice after killing an unarmed man with a handgun. you're not going to change their minds. the guy was within his rights. the man who was killed, however, had no right to lash out when HE felt threatened.

it's cut and dried.-Paul

Didn't I read somewhere that Z just had the gun tucked into his waistband ?
My guess is that T was not well aquainted with this neighborhood. It was dark and it was raining. I can remember getting lost when I was a kid and out in this kind of weather etc. hunting. I did not get back to an area that I knew while it was still light enough to see. After reading what Z has told about what happened I would like to know what was said between them just before T threw his first punch. T was supposed to have hit Z in the face with that first punch and that says to me that they were facing each other at that time. That's what Z was was supposed to have said did happen.

So you are saying pray moves mountains but don't forget to bring some shovels

My point is that in more cases, putting a gun in the equation complicates it, thus making it more dangerous. I agree there are places ones should not be without a gun. I avoid those places, and if I found myself in one I would get out of it as fast as I can.

Yes there are crazies in the world that are unpredictable, such as the pilot yesterday. Think for a minute what would have happened if a gun was in that equation. It would not have been good. So again my point is that I think carring a gun makes life risker, not less risky.

Had that man not had a gun he would have been less bold and would have just called 911 and got out of there, but because he was carring one, someone died.

where'd it go?-Paul

No they said on the news today the gun was in a holster .( But who knows with the news they say and let people say anything) His girlfriend said Trayvon confronted Z and said do you have a problem with me ? Z said No, Kid said well you do now and hit him. If you think you are being followed and call 911 they won't say go confront the person. Trayvon was 70 yards away from his home

Sambo,
There will always be a what if...in every situation but I remember a while back I made a post about being a bible reading gun toting etc. and you were quick to point out that I was describing you as well. So which part of that description really gives a clear representation of you. Your remarks about God and guns just don't jive! As for conservatives putting trust in God I can only speak for myself and say "with out a doubt"; however, God fortunately gave me sense enough to protect myself and my family by any means necessary!!!

I think Sam Kinison said it best (to put faith in God and reality into perspective) ........ Sam is dicsussing the Pope's world tour........ "We know God protects the Holy father........ BUT...... JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUST IN CASE....... we are gonna enclose him in a bulletproof glass buggy......... "

[Mike Tome]

All of this speculation from everyone who wasn't there sure has me convinced about what happened!!

[troy schwab]

Glad to clear it up for ya Mike!
