The Trayvon Martin Case Discussion

[quote=Mooninites][h1][color=#ff0000]DISCLAIMER[/color]: IF YOU DON'T HAVE A FUCKING CLUE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, DON'T BOTHER POSTING BECAUSE I WILL FUCKING TEAR YOU A NEW ONE[/h1] So with that out of the way, The [i]George Zimmerman v. Trayvon Martin[/i] case started today, any thoughts? You don't have to watch the case or know everything, but atleast me moderately educated on what happened to discuss what you think of the Prosecutor's arguments as well as the defendants arguments or atleast a general idea. As I said, and will reiterate, if you come in here with crap like "hur dur george zimmerman shot the dude cuz rac1sm" or "herp derp trayvin marton 1s blak so of corse he attacked z1mmermun herp derp" I will fucking annihilate you looking for decent discussion if anyone is interested[/quote]

[quote=MrCuddowls]I'm somewhat confused about what you want to discuss in terms of this trial. I think that the prosecutor was completely correct in saying that "Zimmerman wanted to kill Martin." No thirty year old man would be senseless enough as to kill a seventeen year old and call it off as "self defense."[/quote]

[quote=IShouldGetALife]I would love to see you fuck someone up about this as I reckon it was completely unjustified (yes I'm an Aussie and yes I know what this thread is about), be warned there will probably be people going on Wikipedia and then trying to say they know everything about the case.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]theres hardly any evidence to the case, and what little there is doesn't seem to help much. so i say let the guy go because he hasn't been proven guilty. furthermore i love how defensive moon gets.[/quote]

[quote=IShouldGetALife]there is hardly any evidence that it was self defence so using your logic he should go to jail.[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]if i remember correctly the law in florida at the time stated that if you felt threatened then you could do things in an act of self defense (which is really stupid and im not sure that im right about this) but if that is correct then technically what he did was legal but how one can be threatened by some kid carrying skittles is beyond me as much as i think what happened is wrong and stupid and that he should be punished for murdering a defenseless minor in "self defense" he cant really be proven guilty unless he says "i shot him just to shoot him" because of how the florida law was/is[/quote]

[quote=IShouldGetALife]well that's stupid, unless they pull a knife or gun on you shooting them is unreasonable.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka][quote=IShouldGetALife] well that's stupid, unless they pull a knife or gun on you shooting them is unreasonable. [/quote] it is unreasonable. but he was well within the law to do so. furthermore, i don't know how things are in australia, but here in the states, hes innocent until proven guilty. if they can prove he didn't pull the trigger in self defense then he'll get 25 years, otherwise he'll walk.[/quote]

[quote=jhoijhoi]I know nothing about the case, but hearing that a 17 year old had Skittles and was killed by an older man with a gun... doesn't sound good.[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]of course it doesnt sound good, but technically he was allowed to do so because it was in self defense, which is hard to prove if it was or wasnt[/quote]
