I cut off almost all of my 2.5 foot long beard last night and am only left with a Hulk Hogan mustache.
My niece said "I don't like it, you look mean"
I said good, I am mean, and I had the biker beard to look mean, but it turned white and I gained weight and everyone said I looked jolly, like a bowl full of jello and called me Santa ... Now I look like someone you need to listen to !!! so ... clean your room
But she was all like

Obama is White?RPB wrote:If you look really closely, you can see Obama's birth certificate too on the ground over to the right.
I guess that makes sense. Zimmerman has one White parent from the USA and one parent from South America, so the MSM calls him White. Obama also has one White parent from the USA and his other parent is from Africa, so that makes him White too by MSM standards.

The media is so opinionated about this and call zimmerman a killer, but in the audio is sounds like zimmerman is screaming help until he shoots one round to stop the threat. Not much reporting about Zimmerman having a broken nose and bleading gashed head. If a cop got that beating he would be expected to use his pistol to stop the threat. Zimmerman maybe made some mistakes but with the media being so biased we cannot find out what really went down.

Trayvon Martin was previously suspended for graffiti, but a bag he was carrying contained several items of women's jewelry and a screwdriver that the officer described as a burglary tool. http://patdollard.com/2012/03/multiple- ... on-martin/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The most recent suspension was for possession of a bag with traces of marijuana and a marijuana pipe.

Re: 17y/o Killed By Neighborhood Watch/CHL
I was lucky enough to attend one of those seminars. I learned a few things and remember what you stated here. That seminar was worth far more than the bit of time I invested to attend. Thank you Mr. Cotton and those who help make those happen.Keith B wrote:Well, this goes back to what Charles teaches in his Use of Force seminars. You may be arrested, and it may not be a bad thing if you are. Just because you are arrested doesn't mean you won't be ROR (Released on your Own Recognizance) vs. having to stay in jail or make a small bail. Some of the advantages are just this type of thing; the police show they are reviewing the case and they can explain you were not a risk of flight so you were ROR. It also will get you away from a scene when there may be reporters or other individuals around that want to ask you questions post shooting and allows you time to gather your thoughts.
Bottom line, I am sure the police felt they knew where to find Zimmerman should they need him, and that was their reason for not arresting him. Might have been better if they had from a public view though.

Re: 17y/o Killed By Neighborhood Watch/CHL
I'm listening to the 9-11 calls now.
Call 2 reports a shot fired and then says "They're wrestling right in the back of my porch......the guy's yelling help and I'm not going out."
Call 3 reports "There's someone screaming outside......It sounds like a male. I think they're yelling help..... I don't know why. I can't see him." Then there's a gun shot.
Call 4 reports "Someone is screaming outside.....there's a gunshot......there's someone screaming, I just heard a gunshot....they're right outside my house...behind...like the back porch...I heard screaming and one gunshot......I see a person now....the guy on top had a white t-shirt....I looked out my window and there's a guy on top with a white t-shirt"
Call 5 reports "Someone is yelling two doors down from me, screaming Help! Help! Help! …..then I heard a gunshot……it sounded like a male…."
Call 6 reports "I think someone's been shot....oh my God.....there's a black male standing over him...."
Call 7 reports "My brother said someone got shot behind our house..."

Wow! I guess Obama wasn't lying when he said:baldeagle wrote:Trayvon Martin was previously suspended for graffiti, but a bag he was carrying contained several items of women's jewelry and a screwdriver that the officer described as a burglary tool. http://patdollard.com/2012/03/multiple- ... on-martin/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The most recent suspension was for possession of a bag with traces of marijuana and a marijuana pipe.

From Fox News this morning. Trayvon Martin's parents are traveling to Washington today. They will attend a forum on racial profiling. The Brady Campaign will speak at the forum. http://www.bradycampaign.org/?s=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Senator Chuck Schumer has asked the Justice Department to look into stand your ground laws. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/s ... 20National" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Seems this is starting to be like the Duke lacrosse team only with a gun death.

Re: 17y/o Killed By Neighborhood Watch/CHL
So Martin's family and the Brady Bunch will attend (assume by invitation). Was Zimmerman's family (or his lawyer/friends) invited? What about the NRA? What about anyone who would DEFEND self-defense law?philip964 wrote:From Fox News this morning. Trayvon Martin's parents are traveling to Washington today.

If not I think it's audacious to call this a "hearing" when instead it's simply more grandstanding and pandering toward a predetermined point of view.
