I have friends in Orlando. Tension is extremely high out there. I hope the FEDS do the right thing.

Member“The right thing” wasn’t done. I don’t mean to offend anyone who is from US but after the Casey Anthony case, the justice system there, sucks. George Zimmerman was not arrested because he claimed self-defense, nothing was done to him, apparently in the US you can shoot someone and claim self-defense. The worst of all is that after the witnesses gave their story, the mother of one of the witnesses which was a little kid said that her son told him that the police forced him to change his story into a way it is in favor to George Zimmerman. Also another of the witnesses said that the police tried to get her to change her testimony to Zimmerman’s favor.

KeymasterAs I say, I find this really hard to believe and stomach. It’s pretty sick.

MemberIt is pretty sick, this man should have been arrested. Also the Casey Anthony case, about the women killing her baby, Caylee, she wasn’t arrested either. What kind of justice system is that?

Membermore of this case is unfolding…. witnesses are coming out and its not in favor of trayvon

MemberHow can there be more witnesses? Only a small amount of people were there. And how can you trust these “witnesses” saying stuff in favor of Zimmerman if a couple of witnesses already claimed that the police tried to CHANGE their testimony. After that no witness’ story can be trusted.
Also, George Zimmerman claimed Stand your Ground law, when he couldn’t have since he was following Trayvon Martin, when you follow someone this law gets anuled, in other words George Zimmerman didn’t have any defense except the witnesses, but how could you trust any of these testimonies after they were altered?April 4, 2012 at 12:40 am #17906zero visual

Also have you considered the facts that being part of neighborhood he was doing what he was supposed to (not shooting him) granted he was told not to follow him but none the less when I see a person walking around in my community that I never seen before I stop and ask.
You Have to look at a few things, Does Treyvon has a background(which he does)? If Zimmermen has one as well? Now Im sure things did happen that no one will know about but the media needs to stop showing a picture of a 12 year old boy, Treyvon is 17yrs old and is 6’2″ and looking into a few things myself (FB, myspace, linked etc..) He definitely looks like the “thug” type or “hood rat.” This is just my opinion, also the new black panthers has put out a bounty on zimmerman for 1 million dollars, saying money is coming from athletes and entertainers.. louis farrakhan (sp?) has opened his mouth and promised retaliation. They all should be arrested for inciting violence. This whole thing is bullshit and when all those people are proven wrong, think there will be any apologies?No. Trayvon had a previous record which includes Theft, vandalism, possession. and think WTF was he doing with a hooded sweatshirt on this time in FL? Zimmerman is not as guilty as being portrayed and Trayvon is not as innocent as portrayed. Now, we all know the type. the wanna be cop, Mr. authority, breaking up the fight at the bar before the bouncers can get there. We also know the young smart ass punk type too. Bottom line nobody should have lost their life. Facts should be known prior to any judgement, any rally, any march, any riot and so onApril 4, 2012 at 2:04 am #17909DJspin
MemberJesus, you’re even more racist, or just profiling at least, so he looks like a “hood rat” or “thug” because he is black? Thats more than racist, Barack Obama said if he had a son it would look like Trayvon. The kid was walking home with a drink and skittles, so he’s really sorry for wearing a hoodie (Oh wait hes dead so he can’t apologize for his CLOTHES), what a CRIME. Oh a dude is wearing shorts, thats suspicious I guess. Did you know that the Sanford Police Department tried to change the witnesses’ testimonies? Also did you know they claimed Zimmerman was assaulted and was heavily injured and bruised which was later disproved by a surveillance video? Did you also know that Zimmerman said he was assaulted first that is why he shot him, Zimmerman said that the screams for help in the recordings from the 911 call were his, which was later disproved by the experts saying it was NOT his voice (Google that if you want, it’s all over the news). As well as the Morgue said that there was no sign of struggle in Trayvon’s body. Again Zimmerman said he shot only once, when in the recording and the testimonies, two bullets were shot. Trayvon was not drugged at the time, just walking home eating skittles wearing a hoodie, in what world is that suspicious? He doesn’t have a background wtf are you talking about? He was suspended from his school because they caught him with weed, more than half of the us teens smoke marijuana, that is not having a background, what a stupidity to say.
DUDE BEFORE YOU SPEAK GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT, the new black panther organization offered $10.000 for the MAN THAT GOT ZIMMERMAN ARRESTED. The only said that they were trying to reach the $1million goal, they only offered $10.000. That money was given to the protests done by the New Black Panthers, not so they could kill him, this is real life not Hitman or some other stupid thing, people just dont give money on public to get someones head.
Zimmerman is more than guilty as portrayed, and who said Trayvon was being called innocent, he is innocent he didn’t do anything, just cause he is tall doesn’t make him a killer dude, and wait I think 17 is still a minor or not?
No, not a wannabe cop, a retarded neighborhood guard. And no, he was a kid walking home speaking to his girlfriend on the phone when a man with a gun starts following him and eventually SHOT HIM.April 4, 2012 at 2:14 am #17910shr3dder

ParticipantPhil it really saddens me to find this thread here in this forum, it just doesn’t belong here.
It also saddens me to see people who obviously know nothing of the case beyond the hugely biased mistakes the media has reported to you, commenting with such strong language.
First off check out NBC’s creative editing of the 911 tape.
http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2012/04/05/nbc_s_botch_job_on_zimmerman.htmlHere is what NBC reported the tape said,
“This guy looks like he’s up to no good… He looks black.”Here is what the 911 tape really said,
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.
Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.Here are some other MISTAKES the media made with what they reported to you!
– Zimmerman’s weight was 240lbs instead of the 170lbs he actually is
– Zimmerman had no injuries, in fact he had the shit beat out of him, and the media tried really hard to hide that fact
– Zimmerman called 911 46 times in 14 months, it was actually 9 YEARS!!!!
– Trayvon was suspended at the time for being late to school, actually he was suspended for being in an unauthorized part of school and when confronted and searched about it by school authorities they found a screw driver and womens jewelry in his backpack
– Trayvon can be heard in the background on the 911 call screaming for help, in fact there is NO WAY possible for anyone to know who it was, there are experts and family members claiming it was both of them, there is NO WAY to tellSo please stop eating up everything the media is telling you to get you angry, and stop talking politics in the DJ Booth section of this site.
If you want to want to express your highly predjudiced and misinformed opinions on a political topic, then please take it to the off-topic forum to spare the rest of us.

KeymasterI agree this doesn’t belong here. Frankly this is a DJ forum not a political forum, and even the off topic area is not meant for such debate. Of course it’s not that the debate isn’t worthwhile, just that it has no place here. Guys, please go chat on Facebook etc about this – we don’t have time to police it which is why I’m going to close the thread. Thanks for your understanding.
