    Really? Nothing illegal with what he did?

    Maybe, maybe not. However, what he did was insanely stupid. Moronic woudl be a better description.

    No it can't. And someone can;t call themselves an OFFICIAL NW "captain" and break ALL their rules.
    He shot and killed an unarmed high school kid.
    Maybe Z had "sheriff training", and he BROKE EVERYTHING they teach someone in that training.

    This makes Z's crime WILLFUL NEGLIGENCE, instead of simply stupid ignorance.

    Is there some secret military organization I am unaware of in charge of Neighborhood watch? Is there some authority under our government that I am unaware of which regulates it? Is it against the law to start your own neighborhood watch? Isn't... isn't that how it became what it is? Don't they sell neighborhood watch signs at Home Deopot?

    EVERY local training regiment is different. The organization is a great place to pick up guidelines and materials... guidelines which do NOT tell the citizens to stop crime unarmed.

    You are completely talking out of your wazoo. You have NO EARTHLY idea what that training entailed or the guidelines suggested.

    well well well. didn't i catch some hell for posting this about St. Trayvon??

    and as a side note.

    "Romney boasts he is a "turnaround specialist". His company, Bain Capital, would take over companies and liquidate excess capital and PERSONNEL, and when it was more personally profitable to himself, bankrupt the company completely.

    And THIS is what the Republicans claim will be "good for the country" when he takes over!"

    That's what your presidebt bigEars is doing but he's using OUR MONEY.

    Is that Ace of Spades you're holding why you just made a mathematical error in calling my turn bet as an 82% dog on your 4 flush? ;)

    Would it be much of a stretch to presume that you think arming yourself for self defense against a would be burglar is ALWAYS a moronic decision?

    A would be burglar? I see zero evidence for that. Furthermore, I never mentioned him arming himself being stupid. His actions were stupid. Moronic. Lobotomized hamster level of stupid.

    What kind of people think its against the law to call the cops on someone who fits the description of a rash of break in's who is walking on the grass near the houses? Then blame it on a hate crime. Its so pathetic and backwards.

    Well, its nice of you to let someone bash in your skull while you choose to not use your weapon because the perp was a baby child. I mean who cares if you cant move your legs?

    I didn't say that Martin was a would be burglar, could have been... what do we know?

    I asked you a question about your beliefs about arming yourself for protection in a non-war circumstance, and if you thought it was always a stupid idea.

    Were you talking about a different topic? A different event? People other than Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman?

    Actually, you did not. You took something I said and reiterated in a strawman fashion.

    Actually yes... yes I did.
    As your statement applies to the circumstance, it was my suggestion that the circumstance doesn't really matter, and that this is ALWAYS going to be your position.
    As my statement applies to the circumstance, in Zimmerman's mind, this is what he was trying to avert, as he had done in the past.

    So see, it applies directly to the circumstance... and attempts to discover if your statements actually do. I am of the belief that your position has NOTHING to do with the circumstances, but instead a general position you are applying to it.

    Drug abuse is defined by the medical dictionary as:

    Drug Abuse - Dictionary.com
    So in other words, if you're not using prescribed medications for medical reasons and your only intention is to alter your mood, emotion or state of consciousness, it is abuse. Regardless of whether it is perceived by some as "harmless 'recreational' drug use." I used to be completely and one hundred percent against all illegal recreational drug use, including lesser drugs like marijuana. My mind has since become slightly more open. I don't indulge in such activities, but I have been able to recognize and see for myself--if you will--how relatively harmless using a drug like marijuana is in the long run. It's not a hard drug and its effects do not negatively impact others aside from the user in the vast majority of cases. However, I don't believe that the same can be said for harder drugs including this "purple drank" "designer drug." I don't know enough about it right now to say for sure, I'll have to look into that, but I do know that--like I pointed out above--the use of such a combination of drugs and/or chemicals purely to experience a high (alter mood, emotion, or state of consciousness) rather than for medical benefit is considered "abuse." That is simply a fact.

    You can beleive whatever you like. In this case it is wholly inaccurate.

    Well then you could have saved half a dozen posts by simply answering the question, rather than try and concern yourself with why I would ask it or how it relates (rather obviously) to the topic.

    I am willing to be wrong. It doesn't hurt my feelings. I get nics confused when they change avas sometimes. You duck hunt is that correct?

    I am not the topic of the thread. Trayvon Martin and some incorrect assertions that he was using drugs is the actual topic.

    He was on his way to the store. He has a carry license. Forming and being on a NW does not strip away his carry license nor his 2nd amendment rights. The fact that you use the word "posse" shows your true intent and its not to be unbiased...

    Nope. I already explained to Snake that the context that I used the quote in my conversation with Watcher about his use of opiates was correct. If you use recreational drugs, then you are abusing them.

    Now I will say it, using alcohol and nicotine (ingestion) is abuse. Why else would you consume either drug? If you drink rubbing alcohol, you get sick or possibly even die. Explain yourself now, Leffe.

    Doesn't matter to me whether TM was high or not. Z is the one who confronted TM when warned not to. Z is the reason TM is dead.
