George Zimmerman was Right

[mikesilvia]

Apparently you haven't read up fully on the topic either. The court has recorded phone conversations between Zimmerman and his wife in which they are talking in code about how much money they have. Just as a spouse cannot be made to testify against their spouse, it works both ways. Testimony by the spouse reflects on him anyway. The judge would be insane not to make the connection and we know he is not insane because he has said just that.

Again, Zimmerman never testified in court that he had no money. His wife did. Also, once again people are making judgement based on a fraction of the facts. This is how this case even got blown up. In the first week, people made it out to be a 12 year old boy with Skittles getting killed by a giant, red neck white supremacist. I even heard that Martin was shot in the back while running. Once more facts came out the picture changed significantly.

Overall, a VERY stupid move by Zimmerman, but we won't know until all the facts are released.

This is the key point in all of this. The modern media cycle tends to demand the general public to take one side or the other very quickly, rather than being judicious in their analysis. We've become a culture that determines opinion in seconds rather than days, weeks and months. This case as a whole has changed so much in the last couple months, but people have stayed put in the beliefs that they developed whenever they read the very first news report, rather than collecting all available information, waiting for more to be released, and THEN figure out what you believe.

Agreed.

So smoking a little bit of weed makes you a druggie? Wow I'm sure that most of the people on here are dope fiends then. Let he who has not sinned throw the first stone.

I, excuse the pun, highly doubt that. And really that's kind of insulting to the members on here by proclaiming that you think most of us on here are occasion drug users. And yes, if you take illegal drugs, you're a druggie.

As someone said it wasn't JUST that it was in his system when he passed but he was even expelled for having a baggie with weed paraphernalia residue when means that was either his stash that he used or sold. So one time he was caught, another time when he was tested for it and who knows how many other times he has done it in the past

I tend to think of a druggie why let's his drug use get in the way of the rest of his life or advancing or growing. I myself have never done an illegal drug, but wouldn't define all people who have at some point in their lives or even from time to time as druggies.

Just my opinion, but I think it's safe to assume Martin was a "druggy". You don't get caught in school with what he did if you've just tried it once, or something like that.

that could be. I was just commenting on the term druggy and how I define it.

I'd also tend to think that someone who brings drugs to school my be a little too much into it at that point. I can see where one could make that assumption.
