I would not have wanted to run into him on the street after dark.

    I heard 6'1" .....vs Zimmermans 5'8" I'm a lot bigger guy than Zimmerman at 5"11 and 220 lbs... and I'm good shape for my age.. but not on the same level as a 17 year old athlete (who is actually in his prime) and neither was Zimmerman...

    Well that was Martins mistake then... he should have considered that before he assaulted him. If you gamble with your life... then you take the risk of losing it. He was man enough to pull that stunt.. he's man enough to pay the price.

    Even if he lived... he was old enough to be charged as an adult.

    You never know WHO is carrying... man OR woman. And I've known women who were some VERY good shots.

    I qualified as Sharpshooter on the range and they would beat me hands down.

    Are you afraid of white boys the same size that played football? I suspect so. But your point is taken about fear, and its cousin hate, and being powerless.

    If you are being assaulted on the street by someone you don't know... you have every legal right to assume the worst... and after the assault starts.. you have the legal right to take ANY and all steps needed to protect yourself... including lethal force.

    Nobody shot anyone from a half a block away... he shot him once after he had his head pounded into the concrete a couple times... at point blank range when he was flat on his back being beaten with the thug sitting on top of him.

    You can be assured they were not discussing the merits of French vs. Italian wines.

    If I was Zimmerman... I would not have waited that long to shoot him... and wouldn't have stopped at a single shot.

    And I can make that claim because I've been in a similar situation... only it was two guys it was daytime and I had witnesses. And one of them had to have seen his life flash before his eyes because he was a second or two away from having his skull split open like a watermelon. ( I was pulled off as I was starting to make the last two handed swing at his head) He spent the next month in intensive care as it was.

    I didn't have a gun but I was thrown a steel bar that I used.

    So I've been where Zimmerman's been. Not playing armchair quarterback after the game was over.

    No it wasn't a pleasant experience... and I'd be happy if I never had to repeat it too... but I will never lie down if I'm being attacked... its against my nature. I'm the kind of person who would fight to the bitter end. However it turned out.

    It came out where Martin came up behind Zimmerman and attacked... police evidence backed that up... eye witnesses back up Trayvon was the one assaulting Zimmerman... Martins girlfriend told the world her and Trayvon were both racists with the "Crazy white cracker comment" and how he was going to teach him a lesson.

    Trayvons phone was full of texts about numerous previous fights he was recently in... and those WILL be part of any future trial... as they can't be kept out of evidence then.

    Here is the "racist " Zimmerman in action . 2010 the son of a Sanford police official attacked a homeless black man named Sherman Ware without provocation.

    The Sanford police were sweeping the incident under the rug and very little was done about it .Zimmerman and his wife started a “Justice for Sherman Ware” campaign. Zimmerman organized the black community to get results and justice for Sherman Ware.

    You seem to be under the impression that education has always been liberal/progressive as defined today. And as I've pointed out numerous times during the contraceptive mandate discussion education, as with medicine, was largely a product of the church in this country, schools were not run by flaming libs so I believe I can safely say a great many people throughout this country's history have been the product of 'conservative' education as opposed to today's liberal education.

    You really should read about Hillsdale, it has quite a history.

    Quote:

    Shortly after its founding, Hillsdale, as a part of the anti-slavery Freewill Baptist denomination, emerged as an early agitator for the abolition of slavery and for the education of black students.[16] Black students were admitted immediately after the college's 1844 founding, and the College became the second[3] school in the nation to grant four-year liberal arts degrees to women.[17]

    Many Hillsdale students served in the Union army during the American Civil War. A higher percentage of Hillsdale students enlisted than from any other non-military college.[18] Of the more than 400 men serving, half became officers. During the conflict, four Hillsdale students received the Medal of Honor, three became generals, and many more served as regimental commanders. For the more than sixty that died, a monument was erected in their honor, which now stands between Kendall and Lane Halls.[3]

    Non-discrimination policy

    Hillsdale's non-discrimination policy remained controversial throughout its history. For example, Hillsdale's football team refused to play in the 1956 Tangerine Bowl in Florida when the governing committee of the Bowl would not allow the team's black players to join the white players on the field; the committee then selected Juniata College instead.[19][20]

    Hillsdale College's policies came under fire in the 1970s following the enactment of affirmative action legislation. Because some students were receiving federal loans, the federal government asserted that it could require Hillsdale College to submit Assurance of Compliance forms mandated by Title IX as a condition of the continued receipt of federal financial assistance by two hundred Hillsdale students. Hillsdale refused compliance on the grounds that its own policies were less discriminatory than those the federal government would impose. This ongoing dispute with the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) began to intensify in 1979 when the College filed a petition for judicial review in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, asking the court to overturn a previous decision by the Reviewing Authority, Office of Civil Rights of HEW. In December 1982, the Sixth Circuit upheld Hillsdale's refusal to sign the compliance forms but also ruled that government aid to individual students could be terminated without a finding that a college actually discriminated.

    In February 1984, in a related case, Grove City College v. Bell, the Supreme Court required every college or university to fulfill federal requirements – past and future requirements – if its students received federal aid. As a result of the court's decision, Hillsdale withdrew from all federal assistance beginning with the 1984–85 academic year; Grove City College, the defendant in that case, followed Hillsdale's lead four years later.

    Beginning with the 2007–2008 academic year, Hillsdale also stopped accepting Michigan state assistance, instead matching any funds that a student would have received from the state with its own aid.[21] Since 2007, Hillsdale's entire operating budget of the college, including scholarships, comes from private funding and endowments.

    Hillsdale's feud with the federal government is ongoing; in its 2010 "Resolution Against Federal Interference," it accuses both Congress and the Obama administration of appearing, "even more than the worst of their predecessors, bent on extending federal control over American higher education and other areas of American life."[22]
    Quote:

    Edmund Burke Fairfield was the college's second president, leading Hillsdale from 1848 to 1869.[33] During his presidency, he helped found the Republican Party.[34]

    James Calder was the college's third president, serving from 1869 to 1871. He later resigned to serve as president of the Pennsylvania State University.[33] He was succeeded by DeWitt Clinton Durgin, a graduate of Union College, from 1874–1878,[33] and George F. Mosher, who served from 1886 to 1901.[33][35]

    Joseph William Mauck was the sixth president, leading from 1902 to 1922.[33] He was an outspoken advocate for women's suffrage.[36][37] He was succeeded by William Gear Spencer from 1922 to 1932,[33] who departed to lead Franklin College.[38]

    4/5th of those are taught at all schools (or so I hope). Though I wish more schools taught basic personal finance skills; no problem though, that's my job as a parent.

    Nahhhh... That ain't the way things work... Asking the executive branch to investigate itself isn't the thing to do... In this great nation of ours, the founders gave each branch of government a check on the other. One of those checks is the oversight of the executive BY the congress... Certainly, you know this.

    Now, we've got a Republican controlled congress. They have the POWER to investigate. They have the WILL to investigate. They have the POWER to subpoena witnesses, and they have the POWER to put them in jail if they DON'T cooperate. They only thing they DON'T have, is PROOF of wrongdoing!!

    So, Daryl Issa, like you, throws up his hands and snivels. Now, I KNOW why he won't investigate, and you do too.. It's because there's NOTHING there... IF there was, you'd grab it. You surly would. You and Issa HATE Obama soooo much, that you'd grab on to ANYTHING that would get rid of him...

    But, you don't.. Because you can't.
