Numbers, I read much of your link.
First, someone DESPERATELY needs to get laid, get a hobby, etc.
Second, this is more attacks on the mouthpieces (sharpton, crump, etc.) - which is a logical fallacy. It spends almost the entire time attacking other folks for what THEY said about "deedee's" call w TM. As for what was heard, etc....not much.
Finally, the agenda of the post was pretty goddamned offensive to me. It continues the narrative of TM just being a punk ass N-word.
This para was just perfect:

Brisket, I agree with you 100%. The only reasons I posted it are as follows; it's new information, it's relevant with respect to what's been presented by TM's parent's lawyers about the witness relative to what might be reality and it supports my argument about GZ being charged with murder 2 for political reasons. I'm not going to be surprised if the case is thrown out and I'm not going to be terribly surprised if GZ ends up charged with manslaughter, but a charge of Murder2 is (I think many of us can agree with what we know at this point) ridiculous.*Note* If you visit those twitter feeds prepare to enter a world of unbridled vulgarity, profanity, and very, shall we say,
Seriuosly, I've canceled my cable and don't watch the news, has anything changed?
Yet George Zimmerman wouldn't even give his address on the 911 call because he was concerned it would be overheard by Martin. But you want Martin to have made every effort to get home as if that would solve all his issues. Let's lead the crazy guy following to my house where my younger brother is alone and waiting for me to come home from the store.
Numbers, George Zimmerman shot and killed a kid, why are you protecting him?
Mp5, he killed an unarmed kid, so yeah, he should burn.
Kid, I'm not "protecting" GZ. I'm pointing out that TM's parents and lawyers may be lying and that it may have led to phony, trumped up charges being filed against GZ. He very may well be guilty of manslaughter or negligent homicide according to the laws of the state of FL, but if he's not, he doesn't deserve to go to jail just because a young man is tragically dead.
More potential new and critical info.
These are allegedly the phone records provided by TMobile to TM's dad. The times are in PST. If these are accurate, he wasn't on the phone with her as TM's lawyers and parents have stated. If she wasn't on the phone with him, then all of her "testimony" has been fabricated.

For those that want a summary of what I posted from that conservativetree link, I've borrowed this from someone else:
I do disagree about her never appearing in the courtroom though. I bet O'Mara would love to get her on the stand.This DeeDee character that TM's lawyers have been portraying as his girlfriend..
was not his girlfriend.
Her online identity was immediately scrubbed but some intertron ninjas found caches of her old tweets and social network posts.
The night he was shot...she tweeted something like.....bestfriend trayvon got shot...
then it was back to business of tweeting 1000 times to friends about her nails etc.
She was never at the hospital...all of that has been made up by TM's lawyers. She is dating another guy and makes that clear in her prior twitter posts.
The link explained why you will NEVER SEE THIS GIRL IN THE COURTROOM.

Facts:
- Trayvon Martin was walking home carrying Skittles and ice tea.
- George Zimmerman was armed and licensed to be armed.
- George Zimmerman called police to report Trayvon Martin as suspicious.
- George Zimmerman followed Trayvon Martin.
- Police told George Zimmerman to stop following Trayvon Martin.
- Neighbors called 911 upon hearing a fight and screaming.
- Trayvon Martin was shot to death.
- George Zimmerman was the shooter.
These are indisputable. These do not require witness or expert testimony to understand.
Police most certainly did NOT tell GZ to stop following TM. A dispatcher shared that they "didn't need him to do that."
Even if everything you said above had been true (which I will grant you the rest of it as undisputed truth, even though the part about GZ following TM can only be proven at the beginning of the encounter), these facts alone don't make GZ guilty of anything in the eyes of the state of FL.
That's an incredibly stupid argument to make in front of a jury. What's the practical difference between a dispatcher telling him they (read: state authorities) "didn't need him [to follow]" and someone saying "stop following"? That's a stretch to parse language when the intent is the same. Additionally, I'm going to venture a guess that you don't have a complete grasp of what needs to be proven for second degree murder in Florida. I'm not trying to be an $#@!, but you're stating things pretty definitively when you seem a little bit like a fish out of water.Police most certainly did NOT tell GZ to stop following TM. A dispatcher shared that they "didn't need him to do that."
Actually, there's a pretty big difference between a police officer telling someone not to do something and a dispatcher saying something like, "We don't need you to do that."
Also, most of the attorneys that have posted on this thread have already conceded that unless there's some significant new evidence that comes out, there's no way Murder2 is going to stick.
There sure are going to be a lot of bloodthirsty liberals turned capital punishment supporters when this guy walks.
Why aren't the civil rights advocates up in arms about the white guy who was attacked, de-pantsed, and robbed in Baltimore by a groups of black guys while others looked on and even filmed?
I can only imagine the national outrage if a group of honkies were out watching and laughing when Trayvon got killed.
I was depantsed in many a locker room. Where was quannel x then?
I love the $#@!s who keep repeating the "WHY AREN'T PEOPLE PISSED OFF WHEN BLACK PEOPLE COMMIT CRIMES AGAINST WHITE PEOPLE!?!?!?!?!?!" line.
People aren't pissed off that a white(ish) person shot and killed a black person. People are pissed off that the police didn't bother actually sufficiently investigating the shooting death of a black person because a white guy claimed self defense, despite suspicious circumstances warranting further investigation. And those same people are pissed off that a good segment of the population has essentially said "good for Zimmerman, one less nigglet" and refuse to admit that a crime likely occurred, or at the very least that Zimmerman acted very irresponsibly.
Explain to me what the difference is.Police most certainly did NOT tell GZ to stop following TM. A dispatcher shared that they "didn't need him to do that."
The country is so amazingly polarized that even issues that should be fairly simple, i.e. the killing of a teenaged boy, get turned into media scrums and political fodder for both political parties.
My parents believe that this entire thing is a concoction by the "liberals" to try and get Stand Your Ground overturned. I argue that nobody would willingly give their son away for such a political endeavor, but more to the point, is it possible that the SYG law as it is currently written might not be a good law? Can one say that without sounding like a crazed commie pinko coming to take grandpa's guns? I don't know anymore.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANFORD, Fla. -- George Zimmerman was released around midnight Sunday from a county jail on $150,000 bail as he awaits his second-degree murder trial for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin.
The neighborhood watch volunteer was wearing a brown jacket and blue jeans and carrying a paper bag. He met a man in a white vehicle and drove away. His ultimate destination is being kept secret for his safety and it could be outside Florida.
Hmmm. White, unmarked van, brown jacket in warm weather. Sounds... suspicious. Maybe a patriotic neighborhood watchman who is worried that Zimmerman may be a pedophile will call 911 and then follow him against law enforcement's advice, confront him, and then have to murder him when he asks why he is being followed. Because that would be sweet.
. . . and the comments on that post are JUST as hideous. Proving . . . what exactly? That there are ignorant $#@!heads out there?
If your purpose is to point out ignorant $#@!heads on one "side" in order to discredit it . . . you should perhaps be careful in employing that technique. It is pretty indiscriminate, and crushes your "side" as well. For every ignorant $#@!head saying that GZ should be killed, there is an ignorant $#@!head saying "blacks are some of the most insanely idiotic beings on the planet." There. Now we're even. There are some reactionary idiots on the "we're concerned about the TZ killing" side and there are some reactionary idiots on the "we're concerned about condemnation of GZ" side. YAY!! EVERYONE LOSES!!!
So now that we know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that racist idiots support the "TM side," and racist idiots support the "GZ side," can we dismiss ALL the bull$#@! "side" crap?
Jesus you are pathetic.
Oh, come one, Numbers is just playing devil's advocate, he has not decided any firm beliefs in this matter; he's open to both sides, with just a slight lean toward Zimmerman because of the facts and evidence he's seen. Right? I mean, I think that's what he keeps posting...
Numbers posted that link for the same reason he has been rambling about this entire thread, his general discontent with race issues, the media, and of course his self appointed position as "devil's advocate." I'm sure Brisket's post wasn't aimed solely at the link posted by Numbers, but rather his general demeanour throughout this thread. He states that he is neutral and undetermined, but his every post is contrary to that position. His primary goal appears to be to attack the very idea that racism may still exist in some form or fashion in this country, yet ironically he serves only to prove the point. He pontificates on legal matters with the certaintity of an omni-potent expert, yet he barely possesses even a layman's understanding of law. His posting style is abrasive, demeaning, and patronizing.
I'm not even sure how Rocko's earlier post is relevant to Numbers post. The position was suggested by Wildcat that [some] people are mainly interested in protecting Zimmerman due to their own racist proclivities. You asked for evidence that such people existed. Rocko provided said evidence. In the large scheme of things, the fact that racists, bigots, and idiots are present on both sides of the debate is completely irrelevant to the specific discussion about Zimmerman and Travon.
The issues, as I see them:
1) Is Zimmerman guilty of some form of criminal misconduct?
2) Did the DA/Police fail to adequately perform their duties in regard to their initial handling of this case?
3) If the answer to 2) is a yes, was race a factor in that failure?
and possibly 4) if the answer to 2) is no, why did this case garner nationwide attention? Is race a factor? Is media misconduct to blame?
Numbers' posts indicate that he lets his feelings about (4), color [control] his perceptions of 1-3. These questions should be dealt with separately. E.g. Zimmerman may not be guilty of misconduct, but that does not mean that DA/police aren't guilty of misconduct. When people conflate these issues together, you end up with the vitriolic, pointless, name calling we've seen in this thread.
