Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

If GZ receives a NG verdict, will the black community riot, and if so will it be against whites or Hispanics or just parked cars and liquor stores?
Yes and everyone and everything. It will be sad.

My honest opinion is that it will not be as bad as one would think. Miami and the surrounding Dade county area is over 2/3 Hispanic and less than 20% black.

Will the riots be limited to Miami?

I know that emergency services teams on the "ghetto" side of town in Fort Wayne are preparing....and that's a thousand miles away.

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

Huge overreaction. The Rodney King verdict was much, much bigger. Check the history on where riots occurred.

Agreed, but Fort Wayne is experiencing heightened gang and racial problems right now, so the authorities are on pins and needles anyway.

O'Mara also asked jurors to ponder what Martin was doing during the four minutes from when he started running at the urging of a friend he was talking to on a cell phone to when he encountered the neighborhood watch volunteer. Martin was planning his attack instead of going back to the house where he was staying, said O'Mara, who let four minutes of silence elapse in court to dramatize the amount of time.

"The person who decided ... it was going to be a violent event, it was the guy who decided not to go home when he had a chance to," said O'Mara.

I think he made a very good point about the 4 minutes. It takes a leap to assume he was just cowering or trapped somehow.

Apparently the jury asked for clarification on manslaughter today. That probably conforms what we all expected that 2nd degree is likely off the table.

Tell me there's more to this story. Did she have a jury trial?

If NBC hadn't doctored the 911 tapes, if 12 year old pictures of Trevon hadn't become his face, if Obama hadn't said his son would look like Trevon, and if the state hadn't illegally withheld evidence, this trial wouldn't have ever occurred.

http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/13/justice/zimmerman-it-firing
"When it takes me six months to get a color picture of my client, when the first one I get is a black and white, when I look at it and go, 'This is off a cell phone; cell phones don't take black-and-white pictures,' and I ask for a color copy, that takes two months," defense lawyer Mark O'Mara said Wednesday in an interview with CNN's Martin Savidge.

"And then I get a pastel-colored color copy of it, and it takes me to file a motion and have a hearing set before I get the actual .jpeg, no, that's frustrating. That should not happen. I've done this too long to make believe in my own mind that that's happenstance."

O'Mara said he learned about the missing information months after he was to have received it. "The only way that we really found out about it ... and the only way that we really found out about the intensity of the failure to give us information was when a person from their own office, a whistle-blower, came forward and said, 'I gave them that information in the middle to end of January' and we didn't get it until June 4th."

He said he was "beyond" shocked. "It could have derailed the trial," he said.
