I liked the part where the neighbor was going to call the police but didn't because they didn't want to be thought of as "racially profiling" the thug that got shot. Oh the irony. It looks like the race baiters have a hand in this one. Nice going.
FORCIBLE ENTRY (such as scaling a fence) to gain access to someone's property, as 2:00Am, can get one shot ANYWHERE. http://legalinsurrection.com/2013/0...ouisiana-self-defense-case-of-merritt-landry/ BTW- WTF is a "14 year old" doing out THEIVING at 2:00 AM? Yes, I said "THEIVING"...WTF else do you think he was up to? Why aren't his PARENTS under arrest in this matter?
No but he was A WHITE HISPANIC. And thats the only reason he got away with murder. He will ALWAYS be considered a murderer by the public.
He was acquitted because the jury realized that the police had made the right call from the beginning, that he was within bounds of the law in doing what he did. That's why he "got away with murder". He was intentionally labeled 'White' Hispanic by those with an agenda, those who wished to turn this case into something it was not. THAT'S actually why an attempt to prosecute was made.
Wouldnt the cases have to be similiar to be compared? How the (*)(*)(*)(*) is a break in at 2 am anywhere near a self defense claim after an assault?
I don't think he should be suspended without pay. It isn't right he's punished simply for defending himself. - - - Updated - - - The only difference is the crime the perpetrator committed prior to being shot. Trayvon committed assault while this other black kid committed B&E.
The big difference here is that the intruder was clearly committing a crime with potential to be much worse. Martin was not committing any crime when Z first engaged him. This should be better compared to the Joe Horn case. If a moron like Horn can get away with coming outside with a shotgun and a crappy attitude to smoke burglars fleeing from a house where Horn knew nobody was present, no way does this guy deserve any penalty for using force against someone just starting to commit a crime at an occupied residence.
There are many differences.. This kid wasnt followed. This kid broke into a home. This kid didnt assault anyone... There was no assault. The cases have nothing to do with each other besides the races involved.
No, because if he had a son, he'd look like TM. So clearly Obama is just black. Zimmerman, while being half white like Obama, needed to be labeled as a 'white' Hispanic to drum up the necessary outrage to make this case fly and fit a politically expedient narrative. The same folks who think Obama is black, that Zimmerman is 'white' Hispanic, are the same folks who'd be okay with Elizabeth Warren calling herself native, provided it was an ends to means. They're full of (*)(*)(*)(*), and hypocritical.
The difference is in thaw word "clearly." It appears that Martin may well have been multitasking the night he was killed. That is, going to store for some snacks AND casing the neighborhood for an easy home to break into.
Z's delusions are more properly entertained in the Zimmerman forum. Do not argue here from facts not in evidence, It makes you look like you are derailing. The point here is that there is prima facie evidence of a crime in progress, thus grounds for a finding of justifiable homicide.
I think the homeowner in La is clearly innocent. But if the left wants to compare the case to Florida I stand by my previous statement.
Evidence that anybody from the left thinks that Landry was wrong? Looks to me like most liberals would agree that there is justification here that is lacking in Z's case.
You seem to agree with me about Landry. Yet libs continue to whine about the Zimmerman verdict when that case is over.
Is there some evidence that this happened? - - - Updated - - - A crime in progress? Like an aggravated assault? Attempted murder?
The intruder was trespassing and clearly in an area in which he had no business ever to be. Martin was walking down the street in a manner that looked wrong to a psychopath.
