' Don't you just love free market capitalism? A culture where anything and everything is potentially a market? Sure would hate to see any ethical, moral, or practical regulation screw up a good thing.... WRT trademarking the kid's name I hardly think the parents seek financial gain, it's obviously a move to prevent OTHERS (particularly those with malicious intent) from doing so and I don't blame them one bit. Or, I suppose, it could be a bit of both. Ah, America, America !! Ever the land in which to make a quick buck -- and in which to lose your humanity ! In my opinion.

Moreover, if the shooting is deemed justified under the Stand Your Ground law, it prohibits civil actions based upon the shooting. I suspect the FL "SYG law", won't be operant in this case, NWP ! OTOH - from according my researches - Fl law provides for the use of lethal force in an "in extremis " self defense situation. I thinks there's also a law against interfering with a "Neighborhood Watch" , as well ! Most of this is moot at this time as everyone from the Oval Office to NBPP street thugs and the majority of the MSM have guaranteed Zimmerman can't get a fair trial jury. (BTW, the comment by POTUS certainly casts doubt upon his legal education and his self-proclaimed credential as a "law professor!) . Its possible Zimmerman has a hell of a case against the USG under Title 18 USC, Section 241 which our USAG ought to be enforcing against the NBPP !

in response to mech and his ilk ... ABC News reports that the lead investigator in Trayvon Martin shooting wanted a manslaughter charge against the shooter George Zimmerman. The lead investigator, Chris Serino, stated he was unconvinced by Zimmerman’s version of events according to an affidavit he filed the night of Feb. 26. His recommendation for a manslaughter charge was overruled by state attorney Norman Wolfinger, who subsequently removed himself from the case. Read everything you should know about the case here.
sure, you can talk to god, but if you don't listen then what's the use? so, onward through the fog!

The "upside" is an almost certain career criminal is off the streets permanently. That is in my opinion a reprehensible, ridiculous, and racist statement. Other than what appears to be a bias on your part against black kids I see nothing and have seen nothing that would lead to a valid conclusion that the young man was a career criminal. You should be ashamed of yourself for making such a statement. As a fellow Ranter, I find it disgusting and I am asking you to remove it. I am not even going to comment on the rest of your post, since it would do no good.

Well, Mech, I wasn't 100% successful with my new decoder ring in understanding your post.
One question, your assertion that the Martin kid is a gang-banger is new to me. Are you one of those profilers that we are hearing so much about? Hoodie + black kid + walking at night = gangsta?
Ohh! Hide the kids!! Here comes on of them Skittles Gangstas!!!
Perhaps you have something that supports your imagination?

Maybe you ought grow up, Troll ! Not all of life's answers are going to be found in a cereal box !

2W,
I can't see how the responding officers could have done different, given FL law. Zimmerman pleaded self-defense and had obvious on-scene forensic evidence to support his tale. What remains is to see if the forensic evidence of the shooting supports it !
The case has, IMNSHO , been irretrievable poisoned by the intervention of the MSM, the NBPP, and the President. (And ain't that just grand coming from a Harvard Law School grad and self-proclaimed "law professor" ! >Mech

Do think then that this idiot was justified? Although the race card is sometimes overused, it is not in your case. Looking at the facts re Trayvon-the kid was suspended from school, versus those pertaining to Zimmerman-he has been guilty of battering his significant other and assaulting a police officer. By your won so-called logic, Zimmerman would be the gangster here. And of course there cannot be a fair trial now-especially since someone(see defense), IMHO, has been leaking things to demonized the real victim(that would be Trayvon Martin) and taint the jury pool. And as far as Trayvon's mother trying to trademark his name? I think that both numan and NWP are correct. That because of the shameless lessons taught to us by Corporate America, others are so eager to capitalize on Trayvon, that she was forced to trademarking, in order to protect her son and his memory.

Mechanic, you are exposing yourself to a civil suit for slander. Nothing you state is even remotely true, either about the young man or the President.
I am not sure you are cut out for a place like this where we insist on facts and abhor racism. Clean up your act.
