John didn't rule out TM punching GZ either. He said he wasn't as certain about it. He said it could have also been pushing, or holding him down or something, I believe.

Exactly so he didn't really recant his entire statement.

John never said he heard TM stating "Help me! This guys got a gun on him!". If I was trying to restrain a guy with a gun I would have told the first person I could.

So, TM grabbed GZ and they teleported. Or GZ shimmied 45 feet with TM on top of him. When you can't explain something it's called an inconsistency.

And using your logic, if someone was on top of you beating your face, would you:

A) lay there and take it?

B) try to defend yourself against the blows with your arms?

C) try to defend by scratching, punching,etc.

You want me to believe GZ chose A.

Hey, look, it's superstalker pussy himself. He even saved my picture. You're not beating off to it, are you?

It is difficult to have much sympathy for you, given your excessively vitriolic style of posting. While we allow back and forth insults here, there are civilized limits to EVERYTHING, and you have been crossing that line. Please tone it down. This is your one warning.

I knew you wouldn't do anything about it. I fucking knew it. I point out what these coward motherfuckers are really thinking and saying, but Spidey07 and his ilk are allowed to spew constant homophobia, racism, religious intolerance, and plain old hatred ad nauseam, and have for years. And absolutely nothing is done. "Trey Trey, Obama's kids," demonizing every black teenager as thugs, listing stereotypes of "gold teeth, tatts, and hoodies" as justification for killing them, "Good shoot!," stories of "Knock Out Games." When are you going to do something about that? When are you going to do something about people making blatant race baiting statements? Or do you agree with it, and condone it? Sure the fuck looks that way to me. I don't give a fuck about your sympathy, or your warning. Ban me, go ahead.

This post will be copied and moved to Mod Discussions, the sole forum for commenting on moderator actions. We can discuss this there. The gist is that everyone is more or less entitled to their opinion, and that our problem with your posts is not your opinions, but the unnecessarily vitriolic manner in which you express them.

Please look at his post. Dahli was warned to never again post personal info here.

Exactly, he comes across as a very honest, concerned citizen which I think makes him the most dependable witness they have.

Perhaps GZ had his arms pinned down when TM jumped on him.

Please don't ban this guy! I'll take a two week vacation on his behalf if it comes down to it.

Please don't ban or vacation him!!!

How do you know that GZ wasn't trying to free his arms to fight back? You, don't.

Several things are for certain

Two witnesses place TM on top of GZ mere seconds before the shot was fired.

The shot was a contact shot so the pistol was touching TM's hoodie when it was fired

GZ has wounds that are consistent with someone being attacked or assaulted

GZ had the legal right to be on a common walkway in the neighborhood where he lived

There's no evidence that GZ was engaged in a unlawful activity prior to the altercation.

It's going to tough at best to prove that this was not a case of self defense.

http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes...ng&URL=0700-0799/0776/Sections/0776.013.html/

(3) A person who is not engaged in an unlawful activity and who is attacked in any other place where he or she has a right to be has no duty to retreat and has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the commission of a forcible felon[SIZE=-1][/SIZE]y

And even harder to prove that he committed 2nd degree murder.

http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes...ing=&URL=0700-0799/0782/Sections/0782.04.html

(2) The unlawful killing of a human being, when perpetrated by any act imminently dangerous to another and evincing a depraved mind regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual, is murder in the second degree and constitutes a felony of the first degree, punishable by imprisonment for a term of years not exceeding life or as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

I believe John is an honest person who got caught up in the "who cares? It's a dead black thug" hype and then realized his preconceived notions about young black males made him say he saw things he had not seen. He did the right thing.

I think a lot of witnesses had the same preconceived notions and after learning that TMZ was unarmed and just yards away from where he was staying they.checked their assumptions. GZ banked on skating because of the picture he painted of Martin that fit something hed watched on the First 48. I'm glad some white people decided to do the right thing and talk about what they knew and not what they assumed based upon the story Zimmerman started telling them immediately after the shooting.

LOL! I do think JKing would be "happier" someplace else.

No he won't. He's a White Guilter, he feels most happy having an outlet for his Guilt. This is probably the best he's felt in a long time.

Mods I'm not kidding...if it comes to a temp vacation, I'll take JK's vacation. Reading his posts for a week or two is comedic gold, I can still read even if I can't post.

Please don't ban him!!!

The entire time? What did he pin them down with and still "rain down blows MMA style"?

OMG, with his knees. I had it happen to me once. Another guy and I got into a scuffle. we fell down, he ended up on top, pinned my arms down with his knees, and proceeded to choke me into unconsciousness. I struggled with everything I had but couldn't get loose.

2.) I think it was Londo or OCnewbie who did that and I thoght it was a pretty low life petty thing to do and said so at the time.

I believe you owe OCNewbie and myself an apology for falsely accusing us of posting JKing's FB page

It was Don Vito Corleone, I think.

Or under constant questioning; he started to say more what they wanted from him.

We saw that happen with DeeDee - trying to please the investigator
