Everyone .. Get up for the National Anthem of Peru .......

Peru: https://www.google.ca/search?q=Peru...GFrQHepYHABQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=952

800px-Flag_of_Peru_%281%29.jpg


English translation

(Present Official sung verse)

On its summits may the Andes sustain
the two-color flag or standard,
may it announce to the centuries the effort
that being free, that being free
that being free gave us forever.
Under its shadow may we live calmly
and, at birth of the sun in its summits,
may we all renew the great oath
that we rendered, that we rendered
that we rendered to the God of Jacob,
that we rendered to the God of Jacob, the God of Jacob.....

Chorus

We are free!
May we always be so, may we always be so!
and let the lights be denied before
the lights, the lights...of the sun!
Before we break the solemn vow
which the fatherland elevated to the Eternal,
Before we break the solemn vow
which the fatherland elevated to the Eternal.
Before we break the solemn vow
which the fatherland elevated to the Eternal.

No one knew what really happened and you can't just take everyone at their word.

What made Zimmerman so special that he could avoid arrest and prosecution.

If you don't believe race played a part in that then you are sadly mistaken.

If someone killed your loved one you would want a trial of the killer if nothing else to find out what really happened.

Whether a person did kill someone justifiably or not should be for a jury to decide. Not the police when there are no witnesses to the killing.

The law is very clear in cases of self defense unless probable cause exists the person can't be detained, arrested, charged, or prosecuted.

776.032 Immunity from criminal prosecution and civil action for justifiable use of force.—
(1)  A person who uses force as permitted in s. 776.012, s. 776.013, or s. 776.031 is justified in using such force and is immune from criminal prosecution and civil action for the use of such force, unless the person against whom force was used is a law enforcement officer, as defined in s. 943.10(14), who was acting in the performance of his or her official duties and the officer identified himself or herself in accordance with any applicable law or the person using force knew or reasonably should have known that the person was a law enforcement officer. As used in this subsection, the term "criminal prosecution" includes arresting, detaining in custody, and charging or prosecuting the defendant.
(2) A law enforcement agency may use standard procedures for investigating the use of force as described in subsection (1), but the agency may not arrest the person for using force unless it determines that there is probable cause that the force that was used was unlawful.
(3) The court shall award reasonable attorneys fees, court costs, compensation for loss of income, and all expenses incurred by the defendant in defense of any civil action brought by a plaintiff if the court finds that the defendant is immune from prosecution as provided in subsection (1).
History.—s. 4, ch. 2005-27.
The police and state's attorneys take an oath to uphold the US Constitution and the laws of the state where they serve. They should not chose what laws to follow.

Without a doubt the special prosecutor had zero probable cause and violated the law. Had they had a shred of evidence they may have gotten a judgement. Due to the lack of evidence that this wasn't a case of self defense the jury ruled "Not guilty". Per the juror that spoke they believe that GZ could reasonably fear he was in danger when he exercised force.

Nice try to get this on an emotion level. My loved ones know not to assault or attack someone as the person may be armed and shoot them.

As for race, the state and FBI could find no evidence that this was based on race or that GZ was a racist.

It's called picking a fight and getting your ass whipped.

George put his hands on Trayvon and subsequently got his ass whipped. Then pussy ass George pulled a gun in a fist fight that George started by putting his hands on and grabbing Trayvon.

But wait, I thought Zimmerman was training furiously in MMA. At least 3 times a week! Martin would stand no chance unless he was a superior fighter. You are so full of contradictions, it is comical. Criticize people for making inferences from the evidence, while making absurd leaps to reach your conclusions. Say that Martin was being attacked by a person who trained in MMA 3 times a week, yet that same, well-trained MMA fighter, who, according to you, started the fight, was unable to even slightly injure the other person. I guess the only fair conclusion is that you're being willfully ignorant and this will be my last response to you.

She was the ONLY living witness to the events of that night other Zimmerman. Therefore they should have taken her account into consideration.

She seemed VERY credible on the events of that night in question.


Not true. There were many witnesses, some that observed Zimmerman and Martin after Pinniocchio hung up the phone to fix her hair. John, for example. Why are you discounting his testimony?




Prosecution was a joke! They fucked up many times!

Ever consider it was a dog of a case?

So, they [the progs] did not get their outcome and now once again, another set of demanded conversations needs to be had. Same conversational demand, same people demanding, same avoidance rules from the demanders… And so it goes…

Trayvon Swinging On A Teacher ? Tracy Martin Questioned – Denies, well, sorta….

Posted on July 20, 2013 by sundance

MIAMI FLORIDA – During the National Action Network’s rally in Miami, Florida, where 2000 supporters of the groups efforts to pressure the Department of Justice to file civil rights charges against George Zimmerman, Tracy Martin, the father of Trayvon Martin took questions from reporters gathered to cover the event.

tracy-martin.jpg


Martin was asked if one of the real reason Trayvon Martin was suspended from his school in Miami was due to “an altercation” he alleged to have had with one of his school teachers. Mr. Martin answered that “he could not confirm that” and he had “no knowledge” of the purported incident. Martin added that “we all knew he was suspended from school” and that it was his decision to take him up to Orlando. When asked if he thought it just a rumor that his son Trayvon had “an altercation” with his teacher, Martin said that “it wasn’t anything like he had an issue with his teacher.” Continue reading →

If GZ initiated the attack and started losing...syg says he can shoot. But the defense did NOT use syg.

Did you miss a few pages of this thread?

Unless his initiation was actually committing a felony. Not SYG. Basic SD law that has been posted numerous times.

It's explained in part by the literacy level of the nation not being what it used to be.

No, the President made it clear. It's explained by there being more than one violent drug ridden thug out there who would commit Aggravated Assault and Battery and feign outrage when their victim defends themselves. They make it clear that the violence isn't over yet.

Looks like the ACLU doesn't support any further prosecution of GZ by the Feds.

http://www.aclu.org/files/assets/aclu_letter_to_ag_holder_re_gzimmerman_case.pdf

We are writing to clearly state the ACLU’s position on whether or not the Department of Justice (DOJ) should consider bringing federal civil rights or hate crimes charges as a result of the state court acquittal in the George Zimmerman case. Even though the Supreme Court permits a federal prosecution following a state prosecution, the ACLU believes the Double Jeopardy Clause of the Constitution protects someone from being prosecuted in another court for charges arising from the same transaction. A jury found Zimmerman not guilty, and that should be the end of the criminal case.

I have to wonder if the the ACLU letter is what prompted the President to speak on Friday. He knows the Fed will not be successful in trying GZ under federal statutes so he needs to get peoples minds of this eventuality. I suspect within the week the Fed will quietly report that they reviewed the case and due to GZ's 5th amendment rights he can't be tried twice for the same incident.
