Title: Should Zimmerman be convicted to avoid race riots?
Post by: Dan on 03 26, 12, 06:38:11:PM
Regardless of whether or not Zimmerman acted in self defense, a large segment of the population, particularly the black population, are demanding Zimmerman be punished.  And if they don't have their demands satisfied, it is possible they might riot.
 
So would it be appropriate to consider potential riots when deciding on whether or not to prosecute Zimmerman?  Or should justice be blind and follow the rule of law?

Zimmerman deserves the same rights as any other person.  If he is arrested, he deserves the right of a trial by a jury of his peers.  He deserves to hear the evidence against him, and to have legal counsel.

Regardless of guilt or innocence, he does NOT deserve to be lynched.

Myself, I thought that he should be arrested.  Now there are new and conflicting stories being released.  I'm not sure what to think now.  But I keep coming back to the fact that he was told NOT TO GET OUT OF HIS CAR, and to quit following Trayvon.

We'll find out after the grand jury convenes.

Zimmerman will never ever get a fair trial.  If a white judge presides, even with an all black jury and is acquitted, the mod will say the judge lead the jury and/or the jury were uncle toms and aunt millie's. Same if the Judge is black and the jury is black. 
 
The crowd, led by the hoots of the Black Panthers, want "Justice", and they do not mean American Constitutional Justice, they mean Black Panther Justice.  Street Justice.   Not Justice for Traynor, though they will shout his name as though they mean it.

I would not doubt that the governor of Florida would call in the National Guard if full-fledged riots break out over this.  He'd have to, and he'd have to impose a curfew as well.

This case was botched from the word go.  I just hope that the grand jury can get to the bottom of it.

Yeah, Moneill, Zimmerman had one hundred pounds of fat on Treyvon!

Treyvon could easily have outrun Zimmerman and the only way Zimmerman could have caught up to Treyvon would be if Treyvon waited for him!

"The only comment I have to say right now is that they killed my son and now they are trying to kill his reputation," Trayvon's mother, Sabrina Fulton, tells reporters today.
Also today, the state Department of Juvenile Justice confirms that Trayvon did not have a juvenile offender record. The information came after a public records request by the Associated Press.

Willy,
That's a weak argument. When the police dispatcher told Zimmerman, "We don't need you to do that," he meant just that: The police dispatcher told Zimmerman, "We (the Sanford Police Department ) don't need for you (a civilian) to pursue the suspect." It's illogical to argue that Zimmerman, a neighbourhood watch captain, didn't understand the dispatcher's implied order, even more illogical when  consider the fact that Zimmerman was in his last semester of study for a degree in Criminal Justice.


At first the Dispatch told Zimmerman to 'Keep an eye on him'.

OBTW: The autopsy report will show Trayvon tested positive for drugs in his system.

Oh, by the way, Martin's autopsy turned up only a negligible amount of THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) in his blood and urine, an amount so low as to certainly not be connected to recent intoxication. In addition to that, even if Martin had been stoned out of his mind, marijuana wouldn't predispose him to violence.

After the dispatcher said, "we don't need you to do that", Zimmerman replied, "OK", then told the dispatcher that Martin got away and discussed for some time with the dispatcher where he would meet police.  Later when interviewed, Zimmerman told investigators he was returning to his vehicle when Martin approached him from his left rear and decked him.

Why would Zimmerman be returning to his vehicle in the first place if the police dispatcher had specifically told him, "We (the police) don't need you to do that (follow Martin)?" By arguing that Martin was returning to his vehicle, you're admitting that Zimmerman disregarded the advice of the dispatcher and began following Martin, even leaving his vehicle to stalked Martin on foot for a considerable distance and time before the shooting occurred. And why should we accept what Zimmerman said without question? He knows he can say anything, because Martin is dead. Remember?

And, yes, Zimmerman spoke at length with the dispatcher. But at no time did he tell Zimmerman to follow Martin. In fact, when the dispatcher advised Zimmerman that it wasn't necessary for him to follow Martin, Zimmerman's response was, "OK," indicating that Zimmerman clearly understood the dispatcher. Isn't that right, chuckles?

"We don't need you to do that"   was not an order, it was information. 
 
At no time did the dispatcher say "Do Not Leave your vehicle."   Zimmerman should have stayed in his car, however, unless his Neighborhood Watch had rules or codes that had to be followed, then he was under no legal obligation to remain in his car.   He was stupid for getting out, but stupidity is not on trial.

Jivin' Jim,

Please cut the crap: The dispatcher told Zimmerman specifically that he did not need to follow Zimmerman. That was not "information," it was an implied order, and Zimmerman understood it clearly.

Dispatcher: Are you following him?

Zimmerman: Yeah.

Dispatcher: OK, need don't need you to do that.

Zimmerman: OK.
http://www.motherjones.com/documents/326700-full-transcript-zimmerman

And since the dispatcher had already told Zimmerman that it wasn't necessary for him to follow Martin in the first place, it's pointless to argue that the dispatcher didn't tell Martin not to leave his vehicle.

Cops, or dispatchers never give "implied" orders.  They are specific so that there is no doubt what they want you to do.  I worked with police for a year.  So don't sit there and try to tell me how they act.  They are specific.   
 
I was on neighborhood watch in the 80s. We worked with the police. We had our own Base Radio operator who stayed in contact with us as well as the Police.  When we saw something suspicious, like teens out at 3am dodging the alleys, we called it in.  We never got out of the car.  In our case the police ordered us to stay in our cars because we were under their control.   Zimmerman should never have left his car either.  But he was not obligated to.  He was not working through the department.
 
When the dispatcher said "we don't need you to leave your car" she was saying that neither she, nor the department, would be responsible if you do.   She was saying 'we cannot guarantee your safety.'  She was saying 'if you take matters into your own hands then you suffer the consequences', She was saying 'you could make matters worse.'
 
But she was not ordering him to stay in his car.   She can't do that.

Jivin' Jim,

Zimmerman stalked Martin for a considerable time and distance without identifying himself. Is that not probable cause for Martin to feel threatened? And, remember, pursuant to Florida's stand your ground law, simply feeling threatened is grounds for use of deadly force. Thus, being followed by an unknown "creepy-ass cracker" gave Martin the legal right to bash Zimmerman's  head into the concrete, to stab Zimmerman had he been armed with a knife, or to shoot him if he  had been armed with a firearm. Wouldn't you agree?

DUMB2DOOFAS,

Get your head out of your ass.

Zimmerman dismissed the dispatcher's advise and stalked Martin for a considerable time and distance during a dark rainy night. There is no evidence that he ever identified himself to Martin. Zimmerman provoked the altercation by making Martin feel threatened. Given the what we know happened that night, and given the fact that he was not carrying a weapon, one could safely presume that Martin feared for his life. So he had every legal right to defend himself against the "creepy-ass cracker" who was stalking him. Yes. Zimmerman provoked the attack, and Martin might be alive today if not for Zimmerman's actions that tragic night.

No I don't, and that's the main reason stand your ground laws should be repealed.  Pursuant to stand your ground laws, a person only has to feel threatened and the use of deadly force is justified. Thus, it stands to reason that Martin had every legal right to use deadly force against an unknown, crazy, creepy-ass white man who had followed him for a considerable length of time. Wouldn't you agree?

DUMB2DOOFAS,

Don't try that DUMB shit with me. Go back and read reply #46. Stand your ground laws require only that a person feels threatened. If so, then deadly force is justified. To Martin, Zimmerman was a crazy, creepy-ass white man who had stalked him for a considerable distance and time (in the dark) without identifying himself. And notice that there's no evidence to suggest that he ever did identify himself to Martin. We can safely presume that Martin feared for his life, that he felt threatened. Under Florida's stand your ground law, Martin didn't have to wait for Zimmerman to attack him.

We can safely presume that Martin feared for his life, that he felt threatened.

If he feared for his life why did he double back to attack Zimmerman instead of going home??

Loco,
You're confused again: Before passage of stand your ground laws, a person was obliged to retreat when threatened. That all changed when stand your ground laws took effect. Pursuant to Florida's  stand your ground law, Martin had the legal right to confront Vimerman rather than retreat. Isn't that right?

And Zimmerman certainly can't make the claim that he was in fear of bodily harm. If so, why did he leave his vehicle and pursue Martin in the first place?

I doubt Zimmerman was perusing anyone. Haven't you ever walked down the street in you neighborhood to check on a stranger acting a bit odd? I have and I wasn't in pursuit or stalking.

JigSaw,

You're wasting your breath. I've chided DUMB2DOOFAS several times already about her using the logical fallacy of the repeated assertion--repeating the same bullshit over and over despite the fact that it's been debunked. But, apparently, that's her favourite tactic when all else fails--repeating the same refuted and debunked claim over and over again. I call it being stuck on stupid.

And, by the way, I see it didn't take you long to be convinced of DUMB2DOOFAS' lack of intelligence and intellect, something I've known for quite sometime now.

Your doubts are irrelevant, my loco friend:

[1] Zimmerman was indeed pursuing Martin, in fact had stalked him for quite some time and distance--on foot, no less. And he was doing this despite being told by the dispatcher that it wasn't necessary for him to do that. Remember?

[2] And your second argument is a false analogy: There's no mention of your calling the police to report the stranger in your neighbourhood, and no mention of your speaking with a police dispatcher. In your scenario, you simply began stalking the stranger on your own volition. That was not he case with Zimmerman. Was it?

The problem with that is, you may say your not stalking or pursuing a person by walking/following behind him,  But you don't know what that person is thinking.  He may think your out to rob him.   

The problem here is people do things with out taking into consideration what other people are thinking.  One has to put themselves in the other persons shoes before doing something stupid...

DUMB2DOOFAS,

Your logical fallacy: appeal to ridicule--a fallacy in which ridicule or mockery is substituted as "evidence" to support a claim or argument. The idea is to show that an absurd result would result from the opponent's claim.

I'm always amused at your childish and laughable attempts to salvage your refuted and debunked arguments and claims. If you began punching people for no reason every time you went for a walk, you would soon land in the nuthouse--where your crazy ass belongs now. But if you live in Florida, or any other state with a stand your ground law in effect, you have the legal right to to use force--even deadly force--against anyone who you "feel" is threatening you and claim seal-defense. That's why all stand your ground laws should be repealed.

[1] The transcript of the conversation between Zimmerman and dispatcher reveals the dispatcher told Zimmerman, specifically, that it was not necessary for him to follow Martin. Zimmerman ignored the dispatcher and did so anyway, even leaving his vehicle to pursue Martin on foot.

I've stalked/hunted men before Hawk. Had I been stalking they wouldn't of seen me and they would of been dead before they hit the ground.

Walking down the street to see what someone is doing is just that. One bunch jumped in a truck, left and never came back, and the other and I talked for some time.

Isn't it kind of hard to hold a dead person accountable.  Actually only one person could have prevented the shooting, cause only one person had a gun.  An unauthorized wan-a-bee cop had no business doing what he did.  Especially, if what GZ said is true, about NOT being on duty.  Making the 911 call was reasonable.  Getting out of his vehicle was not.   

I have learned,  Because GZ got out of his vehicle during that 911 call, is what prompted the police dispatcher to ask the question, "are you following him".  GZ ignored the advice of "OK, we don't need you to do that" and continued to follow TM anyway.   

GZ was over a block away from his vehicle when the 911 call ended.  Between GZ and his vehicle were two rows of apartment buildings and the sidewalk where the shooting took place.  GZ couldn't see his vehicle let along be near it...

This is repeatedly asserted, however, what evidence shows that Zimmerman ignored the dispatcher and continued to follow Martin after the dispatcher informed Zimmerman that they didn't need him to do that?  The evidence indicates that Zimmerman, afterward, discussed with the dispatcher where police could locate him and his vehicle once they arrived.

Chuck ~ If you listen closely to the 911 tape.  You can hear GZ's car door open (door open alert sound) GZ getting out and then closing the door.  You then can hear GZ running by the wind noise, labored breathing from running.  right after that, the Dispatcher asked if GZ was following him.  GZ continued to follow, even after he was told he didn't need to follow TM...
 
That my friend Chuck, is your evidence.  I could provide you more evidence.  But I feel if you are really that interested in this case, you could do your own research and be more informed...
