I agree with you, GYG. TehHawt seemingly asked for an intelligent discusssion above and then backtracked when you tried to start one. Putting words in your mouth and complaining about grammar are just tactics to sway forum opinion and change the subject to "I'm sAMrter than you." Examples of this obviously are above.

Maybe the kid is part of a gang. We don't know. We can't assume that he was an innocent bystander purely because he was stabbed.

....considering it takes roughly two barrels of crude oil to make a barrel of gasoline, what's your point?

I think the state should take the same structure you suggest. The government already collects taxes for these programs, we need the more stringent rules to go along with it.

Here's a variety of links since most news sources lean one way or another. In short, unless the living person (not really a defendant at the time) asks for a toxicology test, law enforcement would have to wait for a warrant to obtain one. Since Zimmerman's story seemed ok at the time, it wasn't deemed necessary. http://abcnews.go.com/US/trayvon-martin-family-se... http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/mar/21/trayv... http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57405476/wh... http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/26/justice/florida-tee...

KOMO - Seattle, WA : \'American Idol\' down to final 2 singers | Entertainment | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Breaking

I think except for his last performance (which could and did mean the end) Colton Dixon and Philip Philips were the best of the top 10 or so. I can't understand half the words Josh sings unless he ends his lines with "eh!" or "huh!". Jessica and I think it was Holly sound so mechanical that it's irritating. Phil has a unique sound that makes me want to listen and makes me wish he had a CD to buy. Jessica will win, but the real winners will be the ones that can make you want to listen to their music on a CD or on the radio.

No kidding, why would DSHS or whoever approve rent payments to a waterfront property?

The state isn't any better. We give food stamps (EBT, whatever) to people who can work but don't even look for jobs. These are supposed to be temporary programs to help people get on their feet. I bust my butt to work and pay bills and welfare frauds get to eat steak...on our dime.

He was politely advised not to pursue Martin. Based on his breathing, he obviously had been and continued to do so. If rumors are true, the dude shouldn't have been on the neighborhood watch, purely speculating on his shrink previously putting him on drugs that may cause agitation and mood swings.

Zimmerman wasn't sucking air by just walking. Audio from the dispatch call, and a statement by Martin's girlfriend suggest otherwise as well.

Link please. I missed that story. What I've read has said Martin was on top before the shooting. Technicality I know. Kind of like knuckles could be more than one knuckle of the same hand.

I have 4 knuckles leading a closed fist. The article is not black and white. And one of them is obviously incorrect. I'm more interested in the actual report.

That was mid fight. The witness didn't see it start, or end. That's inconclusive. Fights aren't always completely one-sided. This one may have been that way until the end, but we won't know because the witness saw one small part of it.

I feel bad for John and Danutsia; they were customers of mine for years in Lake Stevens and then Everett. They are a great family and definitely don't deserve this. I hope Karma comes back around.

I can't say what the first physical contact was since the only witness statement I saw was after they were already on the ground, but are you willing to go as far as to say the kid should have waited to see what a guy that is chasing you is going to do? Are you going to assume he doesn't mean physical harm? I'm just saying I personally wouldn't want to let the other guy (that I am actively trying to avoid) give the first shot. It could be the only blow. I'll take an assault charge over being tackled, possibly onto concrete.

it sounds like you are saying an impaired person is ok to drive. I don't care if you still have to work, your impairment shouldn't get me killed.
