Let them keep thinking Ron Paul supporters are just a little army. Every military strategy manual in the world has examples of the bad things that happen to arrogant commanders of massive armies that underestimate the enemy. They all lose. We will win because the human heart, despite its detractors, is meant for truth and freedom.
Sounds like coons to me, but regardless, Zimmerman made 46 calls to police since January 2011, often reporting "suspicious black males", once a kid who was "7 to 9 years old." I've called the police like twice in my entire life.

Their most common chant is "banks got bailed out, we got sold out." Who disagrees with that? Occupy is many things, but the poster seemed to be complaining that there wasn't media coverage or marches about the fleecing banksters have done...there have been plenty of both, including extensive media coverage of Corzine.

Haven't seen any anti-Jon Corzine marches of late or celebrities specifically asking him to be "brought to justice." It seems that this story has been artificially pushed to the forefront to create a greater divide. Like I said, it's tragic but doesn't deserve the incredible scrutiny it's been getting.
Here is the transcript of the 911 call.

Anyone else notice the way the media has dressed up the entire narrative?
See that isn't a current picture of Trayvon but rather this is:
But obviously that photo doesn't generate the same sympathy as the one at the top. The media is rotten to the core and that's not to say that Zimmerman may have not committed a serious crime. But it's interesting to see how they craft a narrative which suits the agenda they are pushing.

Wow, that was worth the read. I had no idea of the size difference between the two, nor any of the other details that paint a far different picture.
"I'm not just trying to win or get elected. I am trying to change the course of history" - Ron Paul
Wow he was suspended from school. And when you click on the link it shows that he also.... had a tattoooo... oh the horror
Clearly this is relevant as to why he was unarmed and shot dead in cold blood.
Ron Paul: "For those who have asked, I freely confess that Jesus Christ is my personal Savior, and that I seek His guidance in all that I do."
You had no idea Zimmerman had 110 pounds on Martin? And an SUV and a gun? Martin was taller.
I doubt his alleged pot use, gold teeth, or (gasp!) tattoo gave him much of an advantage.
The only even mildly relevant thing would be the assault on a bus driver, if it ever happened, but so far the "evidence" of that seems to be one tweet. I won't get into what people tweet about one another.
Add to the list of things you should not do: get gold teeth, get suspended (I was suspended for a "weapons charge" when I was in school), get inked, and have idiotic friends who talk about you being violent against someone (no proof yet, though, just like Zimmerman's "prior bad acts" that are just rumor and innuendo).Instead of that, we are seeing long suspensions from school, tattoos, racially-charged epitaphs, and violence.
Did Zimmerman have any ink!?!?!? It seems he wore an earring!
People are really grasping at straws
Genuine, willful, aggressive ignorance is the one sure way to tick me off. I wish I could say you were trolling. I know better, and it's just sad.
I guess I'm the only one who really doesn't give a $#@! about this case.
I honestly don't know who was right or wrong here. What I do know, is that this story is very divisive, and after the two groups get done tearing each other apart, nothing good will have come of it. Then we just wait for the next divisive story and repeat this cycle, ad infinitum.
Pass. I want no part in this.

The last line of the article:
No it is not, based on the facts so far presented.This is a textbook self-defense case, and I’d urge anyone reading to look at the full set of facts before drawing conclusions.
Self defense with deadly force is not justified, legally, if you provoke or prolong or instigate an altercation that otherwise would not have happened had you not done so.
"Stand your ground" laws do not change that.
We live in the age of internet and social media. This story would have blown up regardless and it would have had people questioning why the media wasn't touching it. This was popping up on my facebook and on my mom's Church email list before I heard about it in the media and local people were reaching out to media and celebs to get it more coverage.
The fact is this is a case where more coverage will be a good thing. If not for the coverage Zimmerman would have gotten away 100% free. I am glad it is being covered so MAYBE justice will be served.
Ron Paul: "For those who have asked, I freely confess that Jesus Christ is my personal Savior, and that I seek His guidance in all that I do."
Actually, from the facts presented thus far, it is absolutely a textbook case of self defense. In what crazy world is going outside to ask a suspicious lurker who he is and what he's doing constitute "instigating an altercation"? This is a free country. You, I, or George Zimmerman have every right to follow a stranger in public, and when we catch up to them and get their attention, ask them any question we so desire. And likewise, the person we are talking to has every right to tell us to "$#@! off", and walk away. What they don't have the right to do is physically assault us. And that is what Trayvon Martin is accused of doing, and why according to the SYG law this was a justifiable homicide.

The point is that Trayvon isn't quite as affable as he's been portrayed, which matters somewhat because it does paint a picture of someone, who might be quick to get into a fistfight.
The points raised in the article, however are extremely weak, and even if Trayvon did throw the first punch, that's not good enough for a self defense case.
If you wanted some sort of Ideological purity, you'll get none of that from me.
Also, Zimmerman is already in an orange jumpsuit. And honestly, Martin doesn't look that scary to me in the bottom pic either.
I'd say you're off the mark there. Both are important, but we don't really know what Zimmerman did. Seem to be a lot of people jumping the gun.
And a Rodney King video wouldn't even make the news these days. Police violence ain't just for the ghetto anymore.
