    what idiots like that guy dont get (assuming he is right about the 8 black burglars):

    8 burglars in sanford over the last 15 months, 8 of them black= 100% of burglars are black

    18,750 (thats a factual number) blacks in sanford, 8 of them burglars= 0,0004% of blacks are burglars

    the odds were stacked against you, george

    Dude told on himself after he said "8 YOUNG BLACK MALES".. repeatedly .. And chuckled at "neighborhood" referencing the "Hood" portion of the word.

    all he had to do was say "8 Burglaries within the last 15 months"

    This guy was way to smug in this interview. It's like the tone of his voice was saying "who cares it's another ? off the street, you should be giving george a medal while I suck his ? ." 1 min is a very long time to be rolling with someone. george should have been busted up if the fight started before he even knew he was in a fight regardless if the other guy was 17 or not. Bottom line is george is a ? , at this point I would even be satisfied if he came out and said, i don't know how to fight so I shot him. I guess my $100 question is, how suspicious does someone have to be for you to leave the known safety of your own vehicle to go look for them?

    The media is ? the public over with this ? and the public really need to let all the evidence come out. They released that video of Zimmerman arriving at the Police Station knowing Damn well they could have enhanced it first but they didn't to get people to be like "I told you. Trayvon didnt attack him" then days later they release an enhanced version and you can see marks so people are like "ok but he didn't get his head bang on the concrete though".

    They playing the public with this one.

    Here's one of the Police Reports from an officer at the scene that night.
    (it's in PDF format) http://media.trb.com/media/acrobat/2012-03/69081607-29132322.pdf.
    Is this from the detective who wanted to arrest him but was denied? If not then this report is bogus.

    at the end of the day, George Zimmerman killed a human being... don't matter the ? color.

    these ? still hung up on tryna defend this ? as if he didn't do anything wrong. Since they're were burglaries in the area, its sensible to have a night watch around the area to see if anything of such nature will proceed to happen.

    but at the same time, its just like a cop's job, "serve and protect" (even though half of em' ? don't follow that)
    so George Zimmerman could have gone to such length as to see what Trayvon's intentions were, besides asking him where he was going... explaining the what has been happening in the neighborhood... and making sure he's if he is or not involved in the activity that has been taking place.

    i mean, y'all can say that ? out here don't care and ? ... but when some ? like that happens close to home, ? will be up and arms and talking as if all black males aren't the same and ? and be wanting revenge in some sort of nature.

    Yup. Also bear in mind that they are lobbying to no longer classify ? as a mental disorder.

    Frank Taaffe: One Abuser Defending Another...

    March 23, 2012 09:26 AM EDT (Updated: March 24, 2012 06:31 PM EDT)

    Frank Taaffe has done several interviews defending George Zimmerman, the communitywatch captain who murdered Trayvon Martin in a Florida gated community February 26 2012.

    I took issue with the way Mr. Taaffe insisted that Trayvon's untimely death was somehow his own fault because he failed to recognize Zimmerman's 'authority'.

    "If he had just answered him in an appropriate manner, ....... and be upfront and truthful, there wouldn't have been any problem."

    Conveniently forgetting, of course, that, by this time, the "problem" had already exited his vehicle with his gun after having relayed to the police dispatcher that, "This guy looks like he's up to no good, on drugs or something."

    Zimmerman, despite having just shot someone to death, was permitted to go home to his bed, never having been tested for drugs or alcohol use.  The shooting victim, however, was.

    What I find interesting about Zimmerman and Taaffe:

    The undated mugshot below is for one Frank Taaffe of Florida, arrested for violating an order of protection against domestic violence.   Zimmerman has a similar record from 2005.

    Taaffe seems to have a problem with minorities, as well.  He is quoted as saying that the problems in the community started "when foreclosures forced owners to rent out to low-lifes and gangsters.”

    “Just two weeks before this shooting," continues Taaffe, "George called me at my girlfriend’s house to say he saw some black guy doing surveillance at my house, because I had a left a window open.  He thwarted a potential burglary of my house.


    The latest Census Bureau figures for the Twin Lakes community is 49 percent white, non-Hispanic, 23 percent Hispanic, 20 percent African-American and 5 percent Asian.  Taaffe was noted as sounding chagrined when he said that the complex is now majority-minority.

    It appears the "neighborhood watch captains", both past and present, just couldn't see a black male on the street without immediately thinking "looks like he’s up to no good".  I'm sure his testimony as to Zimmerman's 'community standing' is sure to be quite a treat for the Grand Jury in April.

    so any white man in bed bath and beyond buying sheets should get killed because hes about to make klans man uniforms.

    so any white boy with a bald head and tattoos she get killed because he has to be a racist neo-?

    most child molesters are white males...so should we not let them be kindergarden teachers or preists

    most drug users are white...should we just grab they ass off the street randomly and put them in rehab

    just saying

    "No disrespect to George Clooney, but it was a perfect storm. All the ingredients were set up. You know, the prior burglaries were committed or perpetrated by young black males, George was on his [neighborhood watch] rounds.”

    So he said blacks were confirmed 8 for 8 in the break-ins. The truth was really 3 maybe 4/8 were confirmed to be black. That's close right. I mean 50% from the 3 pt. line is good as hell.
