Bob, I know you understand, but a mugshot only means someone has been taken into custody. That's it.
I'm pretty sure you know someone close to you that has mugshots for events they were not guilty of.
Don't try to tell me that a cop executing an unarmed man from 40 feet away was self defense.Flybrick wrote:Mr. Zimmerman doesn't appear to be somebody I'd be associated with if given a choice.
Regardless, he was found not guilty of any crime regarding Trayvon Martin.
Like the verdict or not, there is one that matters. Not your opinion, but the 12 that found him 'not guilty.' One assumes justice was exercised to best of the prosecutor's and defense's abilities as judged by the, er, judge. The jury therefore found him not guilty.
My point is how much of his behavior since his wanted or unwanted fame is both caused by his vilification and covered because of it?
Are you seriously, if so clumsily, arguing that past or post-events have a bearing on the Martin verdict?
Interesting. Willing to apply that to the various "hands' up, don't shoot!" crowd?
"Little" 6'+, 180lbs, dope-smoking, gang-signing Trayvon and/or the "gentle giant" of Ferguson who minutes before a cop shot him in self-defense was strong-arming a 5' 120lb. shopowner trying to protect his property?

By your logic regarding Zimmerman's history of police encounters, we should always refer to Osama bin Laden as a "suspected" terrorist because he was never convicted of anything either.
And no matter what you've got to say about George Zimmerman, I've got a feeling you wouldn't want any of your daughters dating a guy like him.

That doesn't mean she was lying in her first report.Flybrick wrote:Darn those aftermaths that don't fit the baying crowd's expectations...
The charges against Zimmerman were dropped this week after his girlfriend recanted.
The only reason we even read about his arrests is he was charged in a high-profile manslaughter/murder case. Acquitted but charged and in jail.Flybrick wrote:Darn those aftermaths that don't fit the baying crowd's expectations...

Only as someone who also has mug shots and to show how silly it is to use a mug shot, or plurality of mug shots, as evidence or reason to assume guilt.mellytu74 wrote:You really didn't compare George Zimmerman to Nelson Mandela, did you, BiT?
Hospitals and morgues are filled with women who had earlier charged their boyfriends or husbands with domestic abuse and then recanted. Sadly, the type of woman who lives with an abuser often keeps giving him one more chance and coming back for more.Flybrick wrote:Darn those aftermaths that don't fit the baying crowd's expectations...

I notice that Flybrick's love of the judicial system didn't stop him from throwing all sorts of insults and accusations at Treyvon Martin, based largely on George Zimmerman's self-serving out-of-court statements.Flybrick wrote:Danged ol' judicial system not letting the mob rule...

Good luck with that.
It seems like we need a national anti-SLAPP law like we already have in California and a number of other states. —Bobsilverscreenselect wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 3:24 pmGeorge has obviously been taking his cue from Devin Nunes about suing people who say nasty but true things about him.jarnon wrote: ↑Wed Dec 04, 2019 3:06 pmGeorge Zimmerman sues family of Trayvon Martin, publisher, prosecutors for $100 million
