I'm not obsessed, but I will admit, lately, I have noticed those who are, and that has brought Me concern. Yes, that has caused Me worry. It is not My wish that people would revolve around this topic. I would hope for something else.

Well, color me confused. Didn't you just start yet another thread with Zimmerman's name in the title?
You could have titled it "Neighborhood Watch Programs" or "Small towns and dealing with strangers". Instead you choose to use Zimmerman's name.

What is that if not provocative?

I did not do it to be provocative, Bita. I seriously don't understand.

We never had neighborhood watch while I was growing up. We didn't need it. This is why it doesn't connect for Me.

I have during my adult life lived in Mo, Ca, Tx, Md, and Al. I have noticed that words and phrases do not carry the same meaning in all parts of the country. For example in Mo, Tx, and Al the phrase I'm not going to run means you are about to kick somebody's tail end. Even in Md it means you will confront them.

That is complete and utter horse manure and you know it.

Completely fabricated, on the spot, just in this thread, just in that post.

Here's the reality of how it works in the South, in the North, in the West, in Europe or China or Africa or South America: If somebody is following you, it's because they intend harm or ill will towards you- period. That is the understanding in any world outside of your own wacko mind. Any response to someone openly displaying that he intends harm, as in following and then intently closing the distance, is liable for whatever response to that overt aggression, and that is the understanding in any state or country I have ever been in. NC, GA, VA, IL, SC, CA, and Arkansas here.


Whatever you drank or put up your nose, go sleep it off.

Must have struck a nerve with this onee that you do not give a different meaning to that phrased as it is used where you are. And I have stated that Martin not knowing who Zimmerman was may well have felt threated. Two people attacked me over this post both by justifing Martins actions. Neither by giving an alternate meaning to the phrase.  LOL!  Two people ATTACKED you?  NOW I see why you keep referring to Martin's defense as an "attack".  And actually I DID give you an alternate meaning.  Just because it doesn't suit your claims doesn't mean it wasn't there.  Also, what we have is Martin's girlfriend's paraphrasing of what Martin said...not his exact words.  He may have said something like, "I can't run any more."  Or, when he said that he may have thought he had lost Zimmerman and didn't NEED to run any more.  But the fact that DeeDee said Martin was talking real low...like he was in hiding...and the fact that in one of Zimmerman's first statements to the police he said he saw Martin emerge from the shrubs is a pretty good indication that he was hiding and so said he wasn't going to run because that would expose his location to Zimmerman again.

Did I say that Martin did not feel threatened NO
Did I say that with what he knew Martin was not acting in self defense NO

Hannity interviewed Zimmerman tonight on FOX. The investigators gave him 3 polygraphs and none showed any deception. Unless he somehow beat the tests which I doubt I would tend to believe his story at this point and wonder why he was charged with second degree murder.

Yes, I know how small towns work. Everyone already knows everyone else's business because the order of the day is to alleviate boredom and when there is nothing else to do, gossip works. I get it. I was born in a town with a bit over 800 people (no stop lights.. we didn't rate! lol)

Thank you for trying to encourage civility.

Sorry misdirected this post it was suppossed to be directed to LadyPact

But anyway, I think you are trying to get it through my thick head that you are not claiming that Martin had no right to defend himself.

We disagree on details, maybe.

Polygraph "tests" are one of the easiest things to fake or trick.

Given hanity was involved,there`s no doubt the "tests" were fixed.

This was a news stunt for the less than curious(dumbasses) and another example of the George and his friends at fuxnews, trying this case in the media.

Kids still play....get in trouble and grow up, just like when we did.


I`m not sure if there is any more or less danger today than there was when we were young.


Or maybe we just didn`t know the dangers back then or never heard about them, as we do today.


Whether that was on purpose(kept from us) or just lack of reporting or the message not getting out, I don`t know.But we didn`t hear about UMs being kidnapped or abused or killed.


I can`t say for sure why but the Jerry Sanduskys and the pedophiles of the time weren`t mentioned in the media when I was growing up.

There's a lot in there, but among other things there's the fact that Zimmerman is now on the record with TWO different versions of why he exited his truck. In his report to SPD, he claims he left to get the street name, but on Hannity, he claims he left to get a house number.
