    Hello again, tom:

    I, too, agree that she overcharged. But it doesn't piss me off like it does you. I saw the interview with Dershowitz. It didn't piss him off either.

    Not pissed off at all... just an observation.. I don't have a predisposed opinion of this case as many people do.

    It is what it is, that's the process. At least we now have started a process, instead of ignoring it. It took 2 months of outrage to even get a process going in this case.

    Just an observation.

    Just curious, should this guy be charged with murder, too?

    Texas father shouldn't be arrested for killing man who tried to molest his 4-year-old, residents say

    Yep, I'd be protecting my innocent 4-year-old's life just like this dad did, at all cost. He was justified - aborting an innocent child because you don't want to be inconvenienced or wanted a boy is not.

    And I'm not being the least bit sensitive or going "all fundamentalist." I'm just responding to the level of maturity you display here.

    My question is this... and I don't know the answer . Is money donated to a defense fund considered their money ? I mean ;had they tried to use it for bail would that have been a legitimate use of the funds ?
    Meanwhile I think the most likely scenario is that they will use perjury charges against his wife to pressure Zimmerman to plea to a lesser charge.

    Not sure. What has happened in the past in this respect? Defense funds have been a fund raising tool for decades.

    Hello tom:

    The word "fund" has no meaning in law. So, it depends on HOW the fund was set up, IF it was set up at all. My guess is that because it happened so fast, and they had no representation at that time, that money was just sent to them for the purposes of being used as a defense fund...

    If that is how it transpired, then the money is theirs to do with as they choose. However, if you Google his defense fund, you may find that it's set up a little differently. I didn't go there, so I wouldn't know. I don't even know if there IS a place to go.

    However, I would guess the authorities wouldn't have have called it HIS money if it wasn't. Then again, this is Florida. They might.

    Didja hear? There is no evidence of racial profiling in this case .
    In Trayvon Martin case, FBI reports no evidence Zimmerman a racist | Nation & World | The Seattle Times

    But yes ;he did profile the hoodie when he decided to follow Trayvon .

    Didja hear? I don't care. I didn't say he profiled Trayvon. I didn't say he was a racist. In fact, my problem with the case has NOTHING to do with Zimmerman OR Trayvon.. It has to do with the Stand Your Ground law, and the cops behavior..

    Whatever he did, for whatever reason, a child died. Giving him an out for answering for it is unacceptable. The law is flawed in both intent, application, and enforcement.

    2 postings with multiple responses ;mostly dealing with the allegation that Zimmerman is racist ;and now it's a distraction when the charge proves bogus. Bet there are crickets chirping when Al Sharpton is asked for a comment.

    Are you against the castle doctrine too? Or is it that self defense is the issue when the police are minutes away?

    The police handled it according to laws of the time. They did what they could and investigated. Now we have a rouge prosocutor that feels they have to try to make anything stick. That is who your energies should be directed at.

    Hello again, dad and Steve:

    Of course, I DO support the castle doctrine... So, I had to go back to read the page where I said I didn't... Well, it's as I figured. I didn't say that at all. Not even close...

    I know... When I say I don't like to be asked for my citizenship, you respond with, why don't you like to be asked for your drivers license...

    The issue was driving on the interstate which requires a drivers license which is no-brainer in relating the two, as opposed to thinking it's the Gestapo asking a Polish Jew for his papers.

    Seems clear to me my reading skills are just fine.

    Hello again, Steve:

    I don't know how you and I look at the same thing, and see TWO different things.. Maybe it's the water...

    If you look again, the cop, is in the first instance, a BORDER PATROL cop. He DOESN'T ask for the guy's drivers license... He asks him what citizenship he as. It has NOTHING to do drivers licenses... In fact, FEDERAL cops can't ask for drivers licenses because they don't patrol the highways... If somebody doesn't have one, a federal cop can't even issue a ticket or arrest the guy...

    So, your drivers license BS is a red herring, or a straw man.. I don't know WHICH, and I don't care.. But it AIN'T what's going on in THIS conversation.

    If I'm pulled over by a REAL state cop who asks for my license and registration, OF COURSE I'll provide it... But, if a FEDERAL cop stops me and asks me for my papers, I'll resist, and I'll RESIST again...

    Exie, my use of the term "drivers license" is analogous. It doesn't matter if he asks his citizenship, asks for his license, asks if you're carrying produce from outside of Arizona or asks if he's seen Batman; if it's a Border Patrol officer, highway patrol or a local yokel.

    Drive on the roads and you may be subject to a checkpoint of some form or another. It's not a big deal and it's certainly not Nazi Germany.
