In reply to the discussion: For the anti-gun folks out there who rail against SYG laws [View all]JoePhilly
(27,787 posts)24. Did I stutter? Did I say I would execute him with out a trial?
You've built a rather sad little straw-man. "OMG, people want to execute poor Zimmerman without a trial!!!" ... cue the scary music!!
Except no one has said that's what should happen.
He is getting the trial that he deserves. Too bad Martin didn't get one. You seem less concerned about that.
Meanwhile ... you do appear to be looking forward to a future America which looks much like the American west of the late 1880s.
If so ... you might want to try Somalia. My understanding is that everyone there is packing heat at all times, and if you feel threatened, and your quick enough ... you win every argument.

So you're OK with dead kids who did nothing to deserve being killed by vigilantes?

Last time I checked, outside of a few countries in Asia, Drug Smuggling isn't a Capital crime.

That is EXACTLY why there is an investigation AND a trial (if it comes to that)

I didn't say it was Zimmermans voice. I said it was Martins voice at 48% certainty

They didn't analyze Martin's voice - they did not have a previous recording to compare it to

If they didn't analyze Martins voice, how can you say with certainty it wasn't Zimmerman?

So you can't dispute it. You just insinuate MY attitude enables killers, is that about right?

The only person in this discussion who sent an innocent person to their grave, was Zimmerman.

He never denied he shot him. Why don't we wait for the trial or do you want to execute
