So Zimmerman is charged with 2nd degree murder.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. I don't think what he said has really any relation to Osirus. Probably wasn't even thinking about it since being so distracted by trying to "one up" everyone here. What is great is him turning into a whiny bitch when he gets called on his own game.

Oh.. and an intelligence number? Smart enough not to walk into your tarp?

I don't think for a second it had anything at all to do with Luis, and the allegation that it did was fucking weak.

And Lol! Yeah, that wasn't camouflaged very well, was it?

[talisman]

I didn't mean he was referencing Luis, I just think it's pretty fucking pathetic after what happened to make a remark like that about someone.

[War Machine]

I'm pretty sure he wasn't talking about Luis. He was just saying talisman is unstable.

[SS Junk]

What I meant to say was...I pictured him doing an Eastwood impression when he says that.

I see it more along the lines of the Jack Lord "Book 'em, Danno" glory days with his many rumors of being gay along with a huge gay following...

Nobody thought that, he IS just a truly pathetic individual. If God ever decides to give the earth an enema, Ole matt better run like the wind because anywhere he is standing is a good spot to stick it in.

I just find it funny that when the media interviews people who know the victim, he comes off as a punk/trouble maker, but when it comes to the parents, "He was a loving kid who cared about others and had a smile that could brighten anyones day!"

[Cooter]

I'm pretty sure his parents are referring to the reflective properties of his grill

Swing or Salsa? So I'm confused. Weren't we just talking about how "No one would dare say anything to your face?" Yet Brent has come specifically to you, and I've offered up multiple times to meet. Yet when this is pointed out it changes from saying something to your face, to now we are having a fight? Do I have that correct?

Why don't you just say everyone on here is afraid to fight you to begin with, instead of changing the nature of the argument every time it is pointed out that you are full of shit? In addition, as I've already provided you with multiple opportunities to meet me, why would I come to you or bother to show up at this point knowing that you have vanished every time this same tired exchange has played out?

Golly, this post looks downright prophetic after you vanished for 3 weeks, Matt. Yet here you are again, trying to set up some physical altercation in another thread. Hilarious!

George Zimmerman's attorneys stunned court observers Tuesday when they waived their client's right to a "Stand Your Ground" hearing slated for April that might have led to a dismissal of the charges in the shooting death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin a year ago.

However, the defense lawyers didn't say whether they would waive the immunity hearing outright. They left open the possibility for that hearing to be rolled into Zimmerman's second degree murder trial. Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch captain in his Florida subdivision, shot and killed the teen, who was visiting a house in the area.

The move allows the defense more time to prepare for the trial this summer, but also raises the stakes.

Florida's controversial "Stand Your Ground" law entitles a person to use deadly force if he believes his life is threatened, and absolves them of an obligation to retreat from a confrontation, even if retreat is possible.

In recent weeks, the Zimmerman defense has suffered several legal setbacks. Judge Debra Nelson has ruled in favor of the state that Zimmerman's bail conditions should not be loosened, and that Trayvon Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump was not required to sit for a deposition about his interactions with the state's most important witness, a young woman who was the last known person to speak with Trayvon Martin before his death on February 26 2012.

It was the defense's legal maneuvering which put Judge Nelson on the bench in this murder trial. Last summer Zimmerman's team successfully argued that the previous judge, Kenneth Lester, was unfit to preside over the trial after a caustic bail ruling where he blasted Zimmerman for misleading the court about his financial situation.

Zimmerman contends that he shot and killed the 17-year-old Martin after the teen confronted him as he walked to his father's girlfriend's house. Were Judge Nelson to have accepted his account under Stand Your Ground, all criminal proceedings would have immediately stopped, and Zimmerman would have walked free.

But another unfavorable ruling by Nelson could have been interpreted by jurors as a sign of guilt. Waiving the hearing could also prevent the prosecution from picking apart Zimmerman's testimony.

Before the April hearing was waived, Zimmerman's defense set out to attack the credibility of witness 8, arguably the key witness in the upcoming trial.

I still think he is innocent of murder or manslaughter. He was defending his life.

Court cases go on for way too long. I concur, it seems he was in the right - but it's going to be 2020 before it's final it seems..

If you were black, you'd be told to think differently...

I am just glad he gained weight so there is no denying that boy ain't white!
