Foreign AffairsRe: George Zimmerman Acquitted In Trayvon Martin Murder Trial by longjon: 3:38pm On Jul 14, 2013
PhysicsQED: For what? And what were they charged with?



There are any number of reasons why he might have been looking at houses as he was walking. He could have been trying to remember his way back as he was walking in the rain. He could have been looking at the houses because some of them were nice looking. I didn't know looking at houses was proof that a person is plotting something. I'll be sure to be aware of that next time I'm walking alone.



That's already been debunked. That's a different person. Don't just believe everything you read on the internet.



No. That's incorrect. There's no evidence that he hit a bus driver or even took a swing at one.

"Women’s jewelry and a watch found in Trayvon Martin’s school backpack last fall could not be tied to any reported thefts, the Miami-Dade Police Department said Tuesday."

Maybe because it has no relevance whatsoever. Other people thinking he knows how to fight isn't relevant to whether or not he was murdered.



Could you provide the actual source for this? (An official source, not some blog). Even if this is true, given that Martin's biological mother and his father were not together (separated), there are obviously entirely different reasons why she might have wanted him out of the house, which she might not want to admit to immediately.



The only one of them with a criminal record is Zimmerman.

Zimmerman got into a scuffle with a cop and it's on his record. Whether the cop was in the right or wrong in that incident, Zimmerman clearly resisted arrest. Originally he was charged with resisting arrest violently, but he managed to get a lesser charge. And then there's that domestic abuse issue with his ex-fiance. But that's also murky.



If that was actually Zimmerman's voice on the tape, why was the defense team (for Zimmerman) adamant about trying to make the tape irrelevant because the voice of the person on the tape couldn't be reliably identified by any experts? Has anyone even shown the slightest bit of evidence that it's Zimmerman's voice on that tape?

Has Trayvon's father ever heard his son screaming for his life before? Does he know exactly what his son sounds like when he's screaming for his life?

Also, the person who saw Zimmerman losing the fight, did that person even see how the entire altercation started?



No, actually it wasn't his job to do so. You don't understand the concept of a neighborhood watch. There are other neighborhood watch volunteers who were interviewed about what the duties and roles of a neighborhood watch member are and they also made it clear that Zimmerman acted inappropriately in pursuing someone and even getting out of his car to confront them.

If you think someone is a criminal, and possibly a violent criminal, why would you (an ordinary civilian, not a police officer) get out of your car to confront them if you were part of the neighborhood watch?



Source? (An official source, not a blog)



Because everybody that's taller than you is as old as you, right?



So when Zimmerman trains at a sport meant specifically to help a person know how to fight better, his instructor can just assure us that he was horrible, and it doesn't mean that he was really trying to learn how to fight, and that he might have been ready and waiting for a chance to test out his fighting skills when he confronted Martin, but when Martin's cousin asks him to teach him how to fight, this automatically means Martin was a street fighting thug. Brilliant logic.



Actually, he did do that. He did trail the kid on his own. Then he got out of his car to confront him, even though that's not what any sane person in a neighborhood watch would do. Calling 911 is an attempt to give his vigilante actions some air of legitimacy or to give him some possible backup for his actions. He was covering his bases.

Ayee Idris, don't just believe everything people claim on the internet and don't just believe everything a man trying to avoid jail time says. People will say all sorts of things to avoid prison.
Wow. I always knew physicists are smart .

Obama Files Federal Charges Against George Zimmerman Following Acquittal in Shooting Murder of Trayvon Martin

July 13, 2013

From: National Report
 
Just when we thought the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case was over following Zimmerman’s acquittal, the Obama Administration has taken the steps needed to file federal charges, thus sidestepping the well established, against Zimmerman.  Unidentified sources within the Administration have confirmed that Obama, and Justice Eric Holder at the Department of Justice have filed charges against Zimmerman for “violating Trayvon Martin’s civil rights”.

Double jeopardy is an often misunderstood concept in American Law.  The rule merely states that an individual cannot be tried twice for the same crime in the SAME COURT.  Liberal Justice Department officials often charge Americans with crimes from which they have previously been acquitted by filing federal charges on a similar crime in a federal court.

aninkri: When you acquire Military Hardware you have to look at the threat around you, our neighbours dont have the capacity to compete with us do you know how expensive these hardware are?North Korea that you are displaying their hardware have reasons for their acquisitions because of the threat around them.What would Nigeria do with do with F-16 jets destroyers and sophisticated hardware when some of the Countries in West Africa dont have navies or airforces,do you know that the Ghanaian armed forces(army,navy,airforce)have less than 15,000 personnel which is less than the size of the nigerian navy. North Korea with their love of war and military hardware can hardly feed themselves.
So we should go to sleep because we have 'friendly' neighbors ? 10 years ago , we almost fought a war with Cameroon over Bakassi peninsula. Mind you , at that time, the Camerounian airforce had Mirage 2000 jets in its fleet while we could only boast of alpha jets. You can do a bit of research on the two

PoliticsRe: Nigeria Launches First Locally-built Motorcycles by longjon: 1:23pm On Jun 18, 2013
We really need to start looking beyond our immediate circumstances.
Motorcycles may have been banned in a number of states but there is no reason why they should not be produced for the export market. The march to industrialization starts when needs are being met on a very large scale. I believe most of the west African capital territories have witnessed an unprecedented influx of these metal two wheeled means of locomotion. Notably : jincheng, lifan, Zhongshan , etc.. Who's to say that the new Nigerian brand will not give the Asian brands a run for their money. The odds of proximity are in our favour. All that is needed is the president to lean on some of his ecowas contemporaries. The rest is history. I foresee Nigeria becoming the largest exporter of motorcycles in Africa.

longjon: What happened to patriotism ?
You all seem to have forgotten so soon the amount of cash and other ridiculous gifts that were handed over to the same super eagles at the end of AFCON 2013. The cash amount alone was $6m above the amount stipulated in the contract agreement between the eagles and the govt. Not to mention the choice pieces of real estate, cash gifts from private individuals, state governments etc. Heck. Even the support staff got millions of naira. Do y'all remember that wasn't part of the contract ? SMH at this generation. Y 'all don't even begin to understand the meaning of patriotism.
