Anyway you're right these cases can get everyone riled up for sure
....Especially if you are a taxpayor in florida

Btw, how can you not know how much money that you have in a pay pal account? Believe me that is real bull!

The guy wasn't getting his head smashed into the ground or nose broken, just for talking to police. He was in the safety of his car, where he is both protected, and has the chance to just drive away. Yet there is no outrage. No calls for mobs to "demand justice". Minimal media coverage of the entire event. And, since he "wasn't charged" the media isn't even releasing the shooters name. Where is the outrage over the mis-carriage of justice in this case? Why does this man get away with murder?

Demand justice for Daniel Adkins.
The topic of this thread is George Zimmerman and the shooting of Trayvon Martin. That is what we are talking about on this thread. Start your own if you want to discuss Daniel Adkins.

Really intresting.

All of you who want to call Trayvon a thug due to his twitter posts, why aren't you saying the same about Zimmerman. He was much more "thuggish" in regards to his record and this if it is true (not that I believe it is but many of you jumped on those fake pictures of the Trayvon Martin from GA as the one who was killed). You say gold teeth and tattos equate thuggery yet you have a guy who beats up his girlfriend, confronts cops in a way that most people would never do, and if true write crap like what is in the above quote. I see a double standard here that is huge.

Very strange to me that you are all trying to defend this person and believe his claims of self defense. Strange and perplexing to me. Personally I don't believe any person who has killed someone when there isn't blatant evidence of his/her innocence. The evidence substantiating Zimmerman's stor(ies) isn't there. I am happy he was arrested and hope that justice is served no matter which way it goes, but to actually believe him and to defend him is just ridiculous IMO.

Zimmerman can actually see what people are thinking about the case. They can also manage public opinion better than people getting their news through media.

The media has put some things in place to go against Martin as well. Fox even went as far as putting up pictures of a gangster looking teen without verifying it was Martin. Thanks to social media, many of Martins peers denounce the picture. We have to start holding the media accountable for responsible journalism regardless of who benefits.
I don't think that's true. And a Google search doesn't show that they did. If Fox had used that picture of the wrong Trayvon, there would be thousands of links on it. Fox actually continued using the young Trayvon pics for weeks after more recent pictures were available.


Media Matters actually had to apologize to Drudge for accusing them of using a flase pic of Taryvon:
Media Matters Writer Apologizes After Accusing Drudge Of Posting Fake Trayvon Martin Photo | Mediaite

Michelle Malkin was the one who did use the incorrect picture on her website. She took it down within hours and issued an apology, saying she was wrong:

There is absolutely no computer or email access to jail inmates, don't let her pull your leg...

Are you sure about that?

I used to work in a medium security prison and I know nothing was recorded, including phone calls.

I don't think he thought Martin was Mexican. I don't think anyone does. I do believe in spite of being from a multi-cultural family, he has some issues in this case with Mexican American stereo types that doesn't benefit him with his charges of 2nd degree murder with acusations of racial profiling.
So what. He had issues with Mexican-Americans. Was there a rant about blacks, the group he supposedly was profiling.

On the assault of a cop and domestic violence, nothing damaging.

No it's not...think about it, remember GZ went to jail on 4-12-12, the site went up on 4-9-12, that's roughly two days of paypal access before he went to jail, even if the account skyrocketed to 150K in those 2 days (which I seriously doubt), there is up to a 30 day hold on some funds...If GZ's family was keeping track while he was in jail and told him, their conversations would have been video recorded, we will find out soon enough who knew what when and the court will handle it. If it turns out GZ or the family lied there may be legal repercussions and most definitely credibility issues...

That was a play on words. Let me explain, his paypal account is updated constantly so technically he did not know AT THE TIME how much was in it. That was true. What they should have asked him was "how much was in your paypal account as of the last time that you checked?" Or "can you use your lawyer's phone and check right now?"
