people shouldn't be taking the law into their own hands. this vigilantism is wrong.

Government doesn't obey the law, why should we?

Perhaps, but as far as we know Zimmerman did not try to effectuate a citizens arrest. So what the hell are you talking about? Are you saying that if I see something suspicious in my neighborhood I should not confront it?

If you kill a man who didn't deserve it you deserve to be put into goverment custody and be tried by a impartial jury

If you kill a man who didn't deserve it you deserve to be tied to a streetlamp in the meanest part of town and abandoned till the gangs kill you

excellent point, Dinar. I am sure many here are on your side.

That was sick, but kinda funny.

Is anyone surprised that they've done this? After all, they stood at a voting center in 08 with baton's or clubs, dressed in black military garb, and intimidated voters and then AG Holder let them go unpunished. They feel emboldened knowing the AG is sympathetic to their cause.

A society where people did not obey rules and laws would be anarchy and one which i'd be easily beaten up in. that is not a society i want to live in.

the black panther's bounty on Mr. Zimmerman, which happens to be the subject of this thread.

you should call the authorities. why put yourself in danger?

[Pho King]

it surprises me that you would come out in support of the Black Panther's Bounty on Mr Zimmerman, to which I was referring in my post. After all, that is what this thread is about.

Excellent point as to the subject of this thread. ZImmerman did as you believed he should. He called the police. And continued to follow the young man, who he thought was suspicious. I fail to see anything wrong with not acting cowardly. he is a man.

but according to reports, he followed Mr. Martin and the police dispatcher said not to follow Mr. Martin

i personally wouldn't have followed Mr. Martin and I too am a man. I don't try to antagonise or follow any dangerous or suspicous individuals. The heroin addict I went to school with, when he sees me and asks for change, I am apologetic and say "sorry I have no change on me."

I don't want to get into this case as I'm not in full facts of it (and neither is any one else here). What I would say, is the basic that Mr. Zimmerman is innocent until proven guilty. He is entitled to due process and not trial by media.
and the same goes for Mr. Martin and his family.

Who cares what the police dispatcher said? He was under no legal or moral obligation to pay attention to that. If a woman was being beaten and you called the cops on the way to help her, but the dispatcher said to stay out of it-would you listen? I understand your sentiment. But I understand Zimmerman's too. I would have done exactly the same thing, as far as continuing to follow him goes.

that's a different scenario because in that example some one is in imminent danger.
I personally don't know what i would do in that situation. I could do all the talking on the internet about that situation i would want but i wouldn't know until in that situation what would happen and i hope i never am.

The point being that Zimmerman had no legal or moral obligation to obey the police dispatcher. WHo, incidentally, did not tell him not to continue his efforts, just that he did not need to do that.

Because its your neighborhood and you should take some responsibility for it. Besides, if it turns out its just a kid with skittles, why get the cops involved? I'd be happy that my neighbors care enough to ask questions and get involved.

Not that I am saying Mr.Martin deserved it however If you were on the ground with a broken nose and getting your head smashed on the sidewalk and you don't know if the guy assualting you is armed in anyway, you might have a different feeling about shooting the guy assualting you.
Mr. Zimmerman didn't break any laws that I can see and prosecution would have a tough time getting a conviction because Zimmerman has a clear case of self defense.

Back to the original topic. How is it that the Leader of the Black Panthers can call for a bounty on an innocent man's head and not be arrested? Is it allowed for just any citizen to put a bounty on anothers citizens head for whatever reason he wants? I never thought of it before but I always assumed there was some legal protocol for that type of thing.

I would think they were rather emboldened by the Justice departments prior decision not to seek convictions against two black Panthers, when the convictions were already hand

Do you honestly grab a piece and go chasing after every kid in your neighborhood if you don't recognize him? You don't think that's even remotely insane?

We just had some teens grab some stuff from this woman's car in my hood about 2 weeks ago. She saw them, called 911 and got their license, which the police were able to trace to a home. That evening, another lady in my neighborhood had sent emails to everyone in my subdivision... telling us of the incident and the license plate number in case we saw them again. This is responsible neighboring. Some guy prowling around at night, chasing teens and wielding a gun is not. He clearly was wielding since Trayvon at some point went for the weapon.
