You unfortunately continue to add your own agenda. Please do not add language or words to my comments that imply they are different from what they are, This is how politicians attempt to sway the uncleansed. Your argumentative nature, attempting to nitpick a single word into something it isn't, is unbecoming and likely to result in the higher powers banning you from the board. Please attempt to stay focused on the topic.

Been following this and I like your comments and thinking.

That and all the other garbage that people say. It may sound good but it is all hogwash.

This has been going on now for a few days it was not just breaking news 10 min ago.

Two points of contention, in my personal opinion. First off, when talking about given rights and invoking the Almighty, I always capitalize it like so: God. I haven't been much of a church-goer in a long time, but I still try to give respect where I believe it to be due. Second, in reference to the highlighted text in your reply to 74novaman, the government CANNOT take away God given rights. They CAN block you from exercising said rights, though. The distinction is very important, even if the effect is the same. Blocking a God given right puts THEM in the wrong, not the individual.

It is my right not to believe what you believe in. To me god will always be god. If that is pro fain then so be it!!

There is too much misinformation being shared on all sides. Far better for the local and state police to investigate thoroughly and make a recommendation, but I've heard the 911 tapes, heard the operator tell Z to cool it, the kid begging for his life, and then the police finding no reason to arrest.....where's Andy when you need him. A little objective common sense would be helpful.

Exactly!!

Grow up!! We are not supposed to be walking the streets armed looking for people to shoot or crimes to solve.

It is people like Zimmerman and Novaman that will eventually take away our rights and ruin our way of life.

All it takes is the Supreme Court to overturn the 2nd Amendment then you can go to the hills with the rest of your supporters.

I have read a few posts here to give me the belief that many think what was done was murder. A 17 yo is dead for apparently no reason
and the shooter is still walking around without anything being done.

Grow up!!

I have read in this forum many times that if you use your gun you will be arrested and a grand jury will decide. Although I do not believe all of that
in the case of Zimmerman there is enough evidence be it hear say or what ever that he should have been arrested and a hearing held.

They are allowing this guy to walk the streets and the "law" in that small town has done nothing. All that does is fan the flames of racism
and whatever.

He should be detained at the least.

If all what we have heard in the news is incorrect and in effect this guy had nothing to do with this I will be greatly surprised.

If anything threatens our right to bear arms is a few more loons doing this and a few more that defend his actions. We will then deserve to lose
our rights because we as a society have proven that we just cannot handle it.

What Zimmerman did was not "stand your ground", it was MURDER pure and simple.
