Zimmerman Says He Doesn't Regret Actions in Shooting

i hope they lock away this idiot for 50 years.

Arnold Law Firm - 2nd Degree Murder

In order to convict a defendant in Florida of Second-degree murder, the State of Florida must prove the following three elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

1 - The victim is dead;
2 - The death was caused by the criminal act of the defendant;
3 - There was an unlawful killing of the victim by an act imminently dangerous to another and demonstrating a depraved mind without regard for human life.

Understanding a second degree murder can be more confusing than the more serious first degree murder. The "criminal act" reference in the statute must be a single event or series of related actions arising from and performed pursuant to a single design or purpose of committing the murder or creating the dangerous condition that led to the death.

Did he cause the dangerous condition that led to death? At the time Martin jumped Zimmerman, Zimmerman was walking away from Martin and Martin could have also just walked away. There was no need for Martin to jump Zimmerman. So the state will have a hard time proving Zimmerman caused the condition that led to Martins death.

If Zimmerman was told not to follow Martin by the dispatch, and he continued to pursue, he has met 2nd and 3rd criteria.


Logic'd.

Just out of curiosity, how do you illegally stop someone?

The stupidity on here is getting thick.

If you follow a guy and confront him with your gun for no reason, you deserve to get your ass kicked.
Yes, the stupidity is almost too much to take here.

Tell me about it.
More then half the people here don't know the law, and some want him to hang because the MSM told them what to think.
Sad sad world we live in.

edit on 7/19/2012 by GunzCoty because: the not that ffs

Who here wants to see him hang?
Where are those posts?
I do not see anyone calling for his death.
SHOW ME.

Anyway you stop someone is illegally stopping them.
Do you think it is legal to kidnap or hold prisoners?

A 17 year old kid is unnecessarily dead.

A completely innocent at that specific time 17 year old kid is unnecessarily dead - - due to unnecessary behavior and actions of an over zealous Neighborhood Watch Captain.

Zimmerman is the Poster Boy for why Neighborhood Watch has rules and guidelines - - which includes "do not pursue" and "no gun".

Bias?

Your post got me thinking, what would Jesus have done?
Zimmerman wants to play all religious now then that is great. If Jesus had been sitting there in his truck, watching the neighborhood or on his way to the store not watching his neighborhood and saw a black kid he did not know, would Jesus call the cops and the grab his gun and go confront the kid?
I guess I just wonder how sincere George is.

Well, since Jesus hung out with the whores and riff-raff (not saying that negatively), and if Martin is a thug.. then we can only conclude Jesus would have been hanging out with him, eating them skittles.

Jesus Logic'd.

Jesus would have turned the other cheek.

Okay, Zimmerman is Christian, apparently. So if he is christian- who are never supposed too kill, period- why did he carry a weapon designed to kill? Why not a taser or pepper spray?

That's not true. there is nothing in christianity that says christians aren't supposed to kill .. period.
In fact, when you look at the bible, it's probably just the opposite.

What?

(6th Commandment.)Thou Shalt not kill.

Seems pretty clear to me.

I cant believe this. The one time God gives his followers clear guidelines and they still want to argue with him.

so let me get this straight, zimmerwoman does not regret ignoring the 911 operators instructions, getting out of his truck, following and killing a kid who was not even committing a crime? it was all a part of gods plan? using that logic i guess sandusky molesting and raping kids for 20+ years was gods plan too.

So that's your argument? That's how you state your case?




There is at least one particularly significant aspect to debating, which you obviously have difficulties comprehending. It would be near impossible to put forth an argument that is any weaker, than that which you have provided.

[color=FFE0AB]The entirety of your opposing argument to me, can be summed up as this: "To think that it was planned out, is ignorant, cuz I said so."




What you have failed to realize, is that I am actually trying to help you out. You have provided nothing. Try to convince me that your opinion is correct. Give direct examples pertaining to why you feel that my opinion is wrong. If you cannot even attempt that, then why even bother replying at all?

If I didn't believe that some people here are just trolling or trying to be funny, then I would think I'm talking to a bunch of 4 year old kids.

"See him hang" in "today's age" is a old saying, or metaphor, if you will.
Now i refuse to believe you took that literally.
But then again I do know people who would.

Just give it up. Americans are so brainwashed by the Lame stream liberal Media, our Socialist President and people like Al Sharpton That they cannot see the truth. To them anything involving a black and any other race makes the other race automatically wrong and you a racist for disagreeing with them.

These are the same people who cross the street to avoid minorities and use the "N" word when in the safety of their home. I don't care what color Trayvon was he was a THUG and I don't care what color Zimmerman is he most likely acted in self defense.

The Media and government just want to use race bating to take attention away from all the crap that is going on in the country. Let the Sheeple out to pasture.

I do not see any posts asking to see him executed, jailed for life, sent up the river, etc. I know it is an expression and it is one you are using to fight strawmen. You and another poster keep ragging on about how sick you are of hearing "Hang him!" and yet, not one #ing quote from one poster on ATS suggesting any of the above comes forth from you.

Who are the posters writing this stuff? Where are the posts?

Zimmerman broke the law.
He beat up women.
He beat up cops.
He grabbed a gun and went after an innocent teenager for no reason.
Now it seems he may even be a rapist.

Trayvon bought skittles and he is the one that is the thug?
Yeah, taste the rainbow, bitch.

Its not surprising that he is claiming its gods plan.
thats one of the most easiest ways of distancing oneself from their actions.
Say god told you to do it, or its gods plan or that lucifer made them do it.
If we lived in the days of the bible than he would get away with saying god told him to but we dont live in the times of the bible and most ppl know how fake it is.

Hopefully ppl will realize hes a nut job and put him in jail for murder

As I said .. no one should jump to conclusions on this Zimmerman/Martin thing.
The 'grab the torches and pitchforks' mentality of some people here is awful.

It seems you have jumped to conclusions on what you think happened.

The fact is that we don't know what happened ..

1 - Martin wasn't innocent. He was beating the snot out of someone when he didn't have to.

Zimmerman shot in self defense. Martin wasn't beating up Zimmerman in self defense.
Martin could have walked away. He chose not to.

Martin was beating a mans head into the pavement when he didn't have to. He could have walked away.

Trayvon took the law into his own hands and jumped Zimmerman.
Zimmerman was walking back to his car.

For someone who says

The fact is that we don't know what happened ..

you seem to know exactly what happened that night.

My question to you is, were you there? Did you watch the whole thing? No? Hmm, then how do you know exactly what happened that night when you yourself said:

The fact is that we don't know what happened ..

?

Edit: Just a note, those quotes from you are only from page 3. There are plenty of other examples of you doing exactly what you told us not to.

As for you, OP, S&F for posting this.

You don't think that self defense is a reason to shoot a 17 year old male who is attacking you?
To stop someone from bashing your head into the sidewalk and beating you?
Really??? Okay. Good to know.

And you know that's a fact do you? You were there were you? Or are you drawing your conclusions based on your beliefs and criticising other people for doing the same? Let's face it, it's the latter isn't it. The case is closed in your mind before it even comes to court isn't it?
