The fact that there was marijuana in his system when he died from the autopsy doesn't change that eh. He might not have been high, but there were absolutely drugs in his system.
Do you realize how absolutely ridiculous this sounds? First, it doesn't matter. Second, have you had any interaction with marijuana in your life? I mean I'm sure Fox News talks about marijuana users widespread propensity for violence and all ... but come on

That's why I backed off from my statement. Valo said it was purely made up. I said that there was evidence behind it, but I qualified it by saying that "he might not have been high" - because you're right, we don't know factually.
Saying that it's a complete fabrication, however, is not correct at all.

He's saying that if the situation was reversed, we (as in the people in this thread defending Zimmerman) would not be defending Trayvon, because Trayvon is black.
That's literally the argument. His vague post about "lol conclusions from reading this board" is thinly veiled.
I mean, if he knew my post history, he would know that I side with the law in every single instance. ie. In the reverse case, the law would find Trayvon innocent - and thus I would support Trayvon.
The fact that he considers that I would switch my stance based purely on the color of a person's skin, and not the overwhelming evidence in the case, is clearly accusing me of even considering race (ie. racist) in the first place.
Nope, sure doesn't. Trace amounts of marijuana in a persons system doesn't not mean they were high, it actually pretty conclusively says they weren't (that whole 'trace' part is kinda important).

The race thing is crazy. I don't know if race played a role in this case or not and I'm not going to get into that: but man does it ever show the division that's still going on in the world between races. All you have to do is read comments on the case and it's disgusting on both sides of the arguement. We still have such a long way to go.
I have to agree. Even though this thread has gotten really heated at times, it's nothing compared to what's happening in the States. There's some seriously messed up people on both sides there.

Sure it is. You said he was high. Trace amounts does not equal high. Therefore, your position was a fabrication.

It has gotten heated in here but I can see why.. I just hope the personal attacks settle down.
This case is still being talked about ad nauseum throughout North America and there are some good reasons for it. Legitimate arguments remain on both sides of the coin, and I do enjoy the discussion

Dude, saying that in the states blacks are treated worse of then the rest does NOT equate to me calling board members racist... so take it easy.

Exp:
I thought it pretty common knowledge that TM was a known weed smoker...though there is no way GZ would have known that at the time of the incident...nor would it be relevant to anything....so not sure why it matters.
Well this #### will never end untill Zimmerman is dead or in jail.
Quote:
The New Black Panther Party is offering a $10,000 reward for the capture of George Zimmerman, and yes, that’s “dead or alive.”
A video from CNN showing a handful of military-attired members of the New Black Panther Party has been making rounds on the blogosphere this week, and several Party spokespeople have issued statements on the controversial George Zimmerman verdict.
In the video above, spokesman Mikhail Muhammad offers $10,000 “for the capture of George Zimmerman. We’re going to force our government to do their job properly, and if they don’t we will.”
Muhammad also claims that the Party is receiving monetary support from athletes and celebrities, and that they hope to offer a reward of $1 million for Zimmerman’s capture by next week.
“We’re saying to President Obama, you gotta do your job on this one buddy… So white America, we have given you 400 years to get it right and you still have failed black people. We’re not even citizens in this country. We’re still third class citizens. Today as black men, we must stand up. We must say to white America, ‘Your time is up.’”
It must have been the trace amounts of marijuana that gave him the rage to ground and pound, mma style, the guy who took mma training and packed a gun.

Not sure why you keep going to the well with this, the guy took a cardio class. It's like saying the soccer moms who go to a cardio kickbox class are kickboxers.

He actually did a MMA exercise class, which would be like doing boxercise.
The trace amounts of marijuana are no more relevant than Zimmerman's "MMA training." The ground and pound comment is also a direct quote from a witness who saw Martin beating Zimmerman.
Can the people who claim that "murder is now legal in Florida" explain how they believe events went down and show how evidence proves their case beyond a reasonable doubt?

Can you pay for my flight and 6 months of accommodation plus resources to flordia?
What really bugs me about this whole thing is the vilification of Trayvon Martin by some media outlets. You see photos floating around (even posted on this thread) of the kid looking big & intimidating, and some would argue: looking like a thug. I remember an article posted on USA Today last year titled ‘Trayvon Martin: Typical teen or troublemaker’
Cowperson definitely went that route with the pics he posted in this thread.
