    I'd like a few questions answered.
    1, Where is all the loot from Zimmerman's defense fund?
    2, I know that they gave the gun back to Zimmerman, but what are his plans for it?
    3, Who's going to hire him?

    Any "loot" Zimmerman has is going to go to the Martin family when he gets cleaned out in the upcoming civil suit. No way he wins that.

    Drip, that money is long gone.

    That defense cost a lot of money, and his lawyers have already said in interviews that they had to fund much of it themselves.

    Didn't OJ move to Florida so he would not get cleaned out. Their property laws are pretty favorable towards someone
    like Zimmerman. I think it's the homeowners association that will get cleaned out.

    Devil93 is going to really get upset if that's the case.

    Some play court indicted the prosecutor for falsifying an arrest warrant.

  7. If Zimmerman listened to the dispatcher, there isn't a dead kid. Self-defense shouldn't come into play when you are the aggressor. But we know how much red-blooded Americans love their guns and fighting to compensate for other shortcomings.

    Then we'd have people lobbying for cement- and rock-control laws.

    Where's the evidence that he did continue to follow him? None came out in court.

    Cleaned out of what?

    HOA funds are collected each month or quarter, budgeted accordingly and used to maintain the neighborhood.

    There are not vast sums of capital reserves available for anyone to get their hands on. And if there were, that money belongs to the residents, who have every right that it be used for the purpose they paid it for.

    And the family will get nothing of substance from Zimmerman. The man will find a job somewhere and make enough to live and eat. If some court demands part of his wages be turned over to the family, he'll just quit work, for what's the point? That was pretty much O.J.'s take: "I'm not going to spend the rest of my life working for Fred Goldman."

    If Martin had said, "I'm not sure why you are following me, sir, but could you direct me to xxxx xxxxx Street? My father's fiancee lives there," do you think ANYONE would be the aggressor? And do you think we'd have a dead kid?

    Color me shocked. Pierce weighs in with all the intellectual depth of a turnip.

    Thomas Lifson weighs in, too:

    There is going to be rambling from both sides. One side was proven right in court. Our laws are enforced in a courtroom, not a newsroom.

    "Dispatcher: Are you following him?
    Zimmerman: Yeah
    Dispatcher: Ok, we don't need you to do that.
    Zimmerman: Ok"

    Hey look, police agent tells someone they don't need to do it, individual does anyway, escalates. That strikes me as no longer in concert, a jumping off point as it were.

    And the incident in Chicago is a tragedy, and part of a larger tragic, horrible situation. But if I go any further here, I'll just spin off-topic.
