I never said anything about the black panthers.

The chain of responses is above. As I said, I didn't know what you were referring to when you said "so you know this as fact." It was an ambiguous statement. Someone else brought up who the "real criminals are" right before your post. I don't know if he is a criminal. I didn't bring that up. I do know that the lead investigator recommended arrest. It should go through the courts. That is the crux of the problem. Let the judicial system decide the case. Trayvon had him pinned to the ground? So what? What about his right to defend himself? He was followed at night by a guy twice his size. It should go to the courts. Who made the decision not to arrest him?? That isn't even clear. I support right to defend, but the burden falls on the defender to show force was necessary. Otherwise, we have a lawless society.

He does have the right to defend himself with deadly force though.
Brockton could use a vigilante,keeps the animals in line.

Of what is this an interpretation? The courts don't get to sort it out without an arrest.

Then I will refer to it as the "legal system".
Give it a chance to work before assuming judge and jury responsibilities.

At least we agree on that, just have a different interpretation of what that means. Police are not judge and jury.

no, but the police gather the evidence and do the investigation. we have ZERO output from their investigation. All we know if they havent arrested Zimmerman. Thats it.

Zimmerman's grandfather being a retired judge and mother a court clerk may of had an effect on how this case was handled.
