"And I thought he was armed."

That's not what he said. Therefore, the remainder of you post is suspect.

You lie, lefty

"And I thought he was armed."

He never said that.

You should apply for a job with NBC.

Zimmerman stated that he did not know if Martin was armed or not...no sense posting something he did not say...

Ted, you really ought to post the link from which you copied-n-pasted that.

Because as several posters have already pointed out, Zimmerman did NOT say, "I thought he was armed." He said, "I did not know if he was armed or not."

It makes a subtle but significant difference.

I thought all young burglars were punks. Other than the Rock variety, punks are young kids who engage in crime, hooliganism, mischief, robberies etc. The word is in all dictionaires. By highlighting that sentence are you disagreeing with Miriam Webster?

Was Trayvon an amputee? No he had two arms. How is he not armed? The FBI's Uniform Crime Statistics show that a third of all Murders are committed by hands and feet. If you think someone who is not carrying a manmade weapon isn't dangerous or potentially lethal, think again and consult with the Uniform Crime Statistics for homicides.

If I was neighborhood watch I'd do my job too, to make sure at 2a.m. that somebody out that late got home safe or didn't commit any crimes.

I defend the Hispanic/Latino because I believe in justice and the right of one, regardless of Hispanic/Latino race to defend one's life against being another FBI Uniform Crime Statistic under Homicides by Hands and Feet in 2012.

Billionaire “philanthropist” George Soros expanded his U.S.-based empire by using funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Obama Stimulus Dollars Funded Soros Empire, in Scandal that Dwarfs ACORN and GSA, Says New Report



Newly recently released tax documents, examined and analyzed by Tina Trent of sorosfiles.com, reveal how billionaire “philanthropist” George Soros expanded his U.S.-based empire by using funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, also known as the Obama stimulus. Soros and Obama worked hand-in-glove through the stimulus, which has been called the largest single partisan wealth transfer in American history.

The new report has been released by America’s Survival, Inc. (ASI), publisher of the Soros Files website, and posted under the title OBAMA STIMULUS DOLLARS FUNDED SOROS EMPIRE. The release of the report coincides with an Internet advertising campaign on CanadaFreePress.com, a global source of news and information, drawing attention to how the transfers of federal funds to the Soros empire constitute a bigger scandal than ACORN. In that scandal, the House and Senate voted to cut off funds to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) after undercover videos showed ACORN officials giving advice on how to hide financial misdeeds and tax crimes. “The new and currently unfolding scandal of extravagant spending by the General Services Administration, or GSA, is peanuts compared to how Soros tapped the public till,” ASI President Cliff Kincaid said.

In 2010, tax records show that Soros, a convicted inside trader with extensive knowledge of the American financial system and government policies under Obama, deployed grantees from his Open Society Foundations to lobby for and acquire federal contracts for job training, green energy, and community redevelopment programs. By gaining control over those resources, Soros advanced his agenda for “green economics,” open borders, and increased government handouts. In short, he grew his empire, which includes much of the “progressive” movement in the U.S., as the federal government itself grew.

In the report, Tina Trent analyzes George Soros’s grants to organizations in 2010. Four powerful organizations and coalitions—The STAR Coalition, The Gamaliel Foundation, the Apollo Alliance, and Green for All – are given detailed scrutiny in this regard, with the involvement of Van Jones getting special mention. Jones is the former Obama “Green Jobs Czar” fired after information about his communist past surfaced through the work of anti-communist blogger Trevor Loudon and then-Fox News personality Glenn Beck.
