Teenage Trayvon Martin shot by gun nut in Sanford, FL

[kimba1]

Hey
The kid had his phone on and the girl friend is the audio witness. This might be bad for the samaritan.

I think it is a tad excessive to call some prick that chases a kid with his SUV and then shoots him dead when all he is doing is chatting on his phone a Samaritan. He is one of the Bad Samaritans.

He will rue the day he shot that kid, for sure. And rightfully so.

So gun nuts actually use the words CCW as a noun?

No rational knowlegable people do, when discussing firearms.  How ironic a linguistics professor needs educated in the field of language

"need educated" what is that?

Look at this:

I'll side with legal, since staticisally, most every CCW holder is acutely responsible and safety conscious, ESPCIALLY when it comes to handling firearms
\
Every Carry Concealed Weapons holder is acutely responsible, blah blah blah.

You used CCW as a noun or perhaps an adjective. It is neither.

But that is not ironic in your case, and I am unsurprised.

[sirs]

It's a phrase, a pneumonic, if you'd like...like CIA...FBI....used by law enforcment and the judicial system frequently.  So, you're calling them all gun nuts as well.  Yep, the language professor needs some serious tutelage o this subject

No, Carry Concealed weapon is not the same as FBI. FBI is a noun.

He is in the FBI - He is in the Federal Bureau of Incestigation.

He is a CCW = He is a Carry Concealed Weapon.

Not the same. If you cannot see this, I give up. You are too stupid to bother with.

  Acronyms become words constantly.

  Isn't "Posh" a word now , ?even for people who have no idea about Port Outbound Starbord Homebound?

    The stand your ground law will not help someone who follows someone around before using deadly force, it is supposed to protect someone who is being attacked , not an attacker.

     When the grand jury gets this set of facts , should they also consider the emotional state of the community?

True , but you would not say someone "is" a CCW, one would say someone has CCW.

 The Conceiled Carry Permit is more like a document that one possess than anything elese.

Since this is turning into a racial incident, i wonder if the hispanic community is going to feel picked upon. Been much simpler is the shooter was just white.

You see what you're dealing with with these nut-jobs like sirs?

Sirs thinking out loud: >>A guy is walking along, "threatens" me, or my family, or my friend, than he goes for what turns out to be a cell phone, but I kill him first. Tough shit, it's legal.<<

This is the kind of moron who wants to carry a concealed weapon. 


BSB

[kimba1]

I said samaritan,because he enacted the " stand your ground law" which normally makes him a hero.
It the the reason he's not arrested

[BT]

As usual all the details are not known. So for the time being Mr. Martin will be the poster boy for oppressed hoodies and an example for gun control advocates.

[Xavier_Onassis]

Zimmerman was not standing his ground. He was cruising around in his SUV when he saw Martin walking home. Then he called the police to report a "suspicious person" and said he was going to follow him. The police dispatcher told him "we don't need for you to do that", but then Zimmerman got out of his car and followed Martin on foot. Martin was talking on the phone the entire time.

Zimmerman was not standing his ground: he was clearly pursuing Martin, who could not have looked too dangerous talking on his cellphone.

There needs to be a complete investigation here, and I bet there will be one.

[BT]

I can see how zimmerman could have faked the bloddy nose but the gash on the back of his head? There must have been a scuffle.

Sirs thinking out loud: >>A guy is walking along, threatens me, or my family, or my friend....LIFE, than he goes for what turns out to be a cell phone, but I kill him first. Tough shit, it's legal.<<

Amazing how in BsB's know-it-all world, if someone threatens his or a loved one's life, it's "no biggie", they can go right ahead.  Perhaps the whole family, as they pull out, not a phone, but a semi-automatic. 

Apparently the state of CA, and numerous law enforcement captains/sherriffs have no problem with your perceived moronic presumptions

But I'll still try to protect you.  Though perhaps you're right.  I best wait until they've actually shot & killed you, before returning fire.  Just to be safe
