What if that had happened in Canada? How would the Canadians have
handled it?
handled it?

I have been on both sides of a tanning,.. and one thing i distinctly remember is that I knew when I had kicked their @-- and they knew their @-- had been kicked.. so I stopped...
I also remember when my @ was kicked... and the fellow doing it stopped and asked if I had had enough...
I have never continued after a person started yelling for help or for me to stop...let alone not stopped when someone intervened and told us to stop...
but that decency is quickly becoming extinct in this country...
So at a certain point I am sure many of US will have to make the decision that Zimmerman made...
I didn't realize there was proof as to who was on whom and who was yelling for help.

that assumption/accusation was dis-proven as well... Zimmerman wanted to be a lawyer and a prosecutor.. at least according to those who knew him and his black law professor..
and as far as I remember wanting to be a policeman, fireman or soldier is still considered admirable.

Skittles and iced tea = Purple Drank. Skittles and Arizona watermelon also makes something called "LEAN" which is a street way of getting high.
People go to the ER all the time asking for the cough syrup Promethiazine (robitussin) and they get it, go home, and make this stuff.

Odds are good that in Canada the local yokel policeman wanna be wouldn't be carrying a gun, and therefore would have been more likely to follow the orders to not approach the suspect.
I've not taken a side in this, just pondering things. I'd like to think the jury did the right thing with the evidence they had. Hopefully the Martin family comes to terms with all this as well as possible, and hopefully the Zimmerman kid learned something.

What kid in our lazy society is going to walk 3 blocks for candy and some Tea?
What kid drinks tea?
There has to be something very powerful about the "candy" for them to walk that far. I've seen a few dope heads do some crazy stuff to get a high.
Doesn't take much common sense to put this all together. Dope head check. Thug check. Thinks he is a bada** check. Burgler check. Did he make a fatal move check.
How many future lives did Zimmerman save that night?
