Family of Florida boy killed by Neighborhood Watch seeks arrest

[Juana]

Ah. Well, that makes more sense.

[Cain]

This is getting interesting. 

To summarize:

- the police coached witnessess to say they heard Zimmerman calling for help
- information was systematically leaked from the Sanford PD designed to smear Trayvon Martin's character
- Martin's body does not show the typical signs of someone involved in a fight (broken skin around the knuckles)
- The morgue identified his body immediately, but the police filed him as a John Doe
- the police report says Zimmerman had a broken nose and was covered in blood, but video footage acquired by ABC proves this to be categorically false.  The police were not wearing gloves while escorting him into the station, which they would need to do if he was covered in blood/

Sanford city council also had to pass over complaints about police racism to the DOJ, they were so overwhelmed by them.

This isn't just about one racist gun-nut anymore.

I suspect they have been doing what's worked just fine for them for generations. They just weren't expecting it to stop working.

I fear that if he does get arrested and goes to trial, he'll be aquitted, for some technicality or other.

Then again, the subsequent riots might actually destroy parts of Florida, so there will be some benefit.

If he'd had the back of his head smacked in, he'd be pale as hell, and with a broken nose he'd also have black bags under his eyes, or at the very least extreme puffiness by this stage.

I fought in enough kickboxing and Tae Kwon Do tournaments to recognise both of those symptoms, and regardless of the quality of the footage, he has neither.

Adverts for the new Ben Stiller film Neighborhood Watch have been pulled in the US over fears they are insensitive.

It comes after the shooting of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin in Florida, last month.

He was killed by neighbourhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, who said he was acting in "self defence" after the 17-year-old looked "suspicious".

Twentieth Century Fox has withdrawn its ads, saying the film was made "before this incident ever came to light".

It was feared that one scene in particular could be misconstrued.

It showed actor Jonah Hill making a gun gesture with his fingers, then pretending to shoot at a suburban neighbourhood, where children were playing in their gardens.

The tone of the whole article is confusing. It makes mention of several key points and issues but completely fails to mention that Ben Stiller has never made a good film, and is, in fact, an odious piece of shit.

WOOOOOW.

I really, really wanted to believe that the only reason Zimmerman wasn't arrested immediately was because a bunch of neighbors helped him deceive the cops.

That's just...yeah. More terrible than I had hoped, but not nearly suprising enough.

Angela Corey, State Attorney for the 4th Circuit (which is basically my home town) has been assigned as State Attorney for the case. 

She's been getting a lot of shit lately from the local Dems for being a hard ass prosecutor with a high conviction rate.  (and for having what seems like a bit too cozy a relationship with the Public Defender's Office)  She's the one prosecuting Christian Fernandez (the 12 year old who beat his 2 year old brother to death) as an adult murder case.

http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/22/justice/florida-teen-shooting/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

A 12 year old is now an adult?

The world has gone vengence-crazy and no one sees it bcause we have a tidy, little justice system to handle the mess and a fuckton of prison subcontractors happy to scrape up our nickles and dimes and send lobbyists to congress to help us get moar bigger justice.

I actually got kicked out of the raep survivors club for having the stones to get up and say "well I think the death penalty for convicted raepisses may be just a little unreasonable, no?"

I got the UCMJ thrown at me too. Don't throw the UCMJ at me until you can point to the part of the constitution where it says we can pick and choose martial law for convicts where it suits us, you tripe-fucking neocon.

[Oysters Rockefeller]

Yeah, it's bullshit. That's our beautiful little culture though.

Even in everyday life people are more inclined to have the last word or inact some kind of revenge than to walk away from a bad situation.

And now of course the other person has to have the last word or get some revenge, too.

And now that first person is like "what the fuck? I just gave them what they deserved!" and they need to get some more payment.

And then we all explode.
