Breaking: MSNBC has video that shows Zimmerman's guilt conclusively

[BlueStateSaint]

I think it's horrible that a teen was killed. 

I think it's horrible that Zimmerman has been tried in the media on the basis of a tenth of the evidence. 

I would be horrified if my son had been shot that way...and have to admit that he would have been as likely to be wearing a hoodie as any other kid.  (On the other hand, while he's a very good fighter and has done some amateur boxing, I don't think he'd have jumped a guy for questioning him.)

I'd also be horrified if my son was the Neighborhood watch guy who thought he was in a kill-or-be-killed situation and shot someone...especially if the media ran with the story and tried to get him lynched.

Both of them made stupid mistakes...and stupid mistakes can get you killed.

Ain't that the truth!  And the H5.

Depending on the law in their particular area parents can sign a consent form.
Tattoos can be quite expensive. The maybe 3'' one that I have ran me upwards of $200 10 years ago. So first of all if he managed to actually get them at a shop then where did he get the money? He had a few and that is pricey. Or could have the precious little angel been hanging around the sort that is proficient in doing prison tattoos?

Tattoo machines and supplies can be bought with no problem, anyone can set up shop in home or basement.   

Big business in Asian comunitys for the equipment used to tattoo cosmetic tattoos, eye liner and eye brows, even lip liner.  Cost for a very good job done in a kitchen of an unlicensed artist is about $200 last time I heard.  The difference in the reguler tattoo equipment is much as the machine for cosmetics is not one or those big honking machines for body Tattoos.

Professional cosmetics run about $600-$800.   Insurence costs and insuring the dye and all equipment is steral, business licences and inspections, zoning laws are by passed by the Outlaw tattooests.

Anyone from 14 on down can get a great professional looking Tattoo for very little money today without anything like perental consent as they do cigarettes, booze, drugs and sex.

In this young mans case with his dark skin, for a Tat to show up, the Artist has to use special dyes to color it, make it POP against the skin.

What a He Man, lock the doors, run upstairs and call the cops? How about grab your pistol run outside and hold the little punk while your wife calls? Must be a product of the liberal loon upbringing.
By the way Hi everyone.

As a gun owner, I can't do that.  If I didn't see who started the fight, why would I come out and hold someone (possibly the innocent party) hostage until the police show up?

If a fight like that broke out at my complex, the last thing I am going to do is run outside with my gun drawn.  I'll call the police, but I'm not going out there to put my life in danger too.

That's just my two cents.

If its just a fight, we can't do anything either and the determination is up to the person getting beat. If Martin had a firearm drawn about to shoot him as he's on top of Zimmerman, I'm within my rights to snipe the guy from my window.

Or walk out and do it. Either or. Same goes for being in a bank. If I see a bank robber holding a gun to the head of the teller, I'm within my rights to bust a cap in his ass to stop that type of felony. People NEED to start doing this. It would make for a much politer society.

Trayvon didn't make stupid mistakes, he made thug life reactions, a small technicality, but an accurate one I think.

^5  Evil, one does not get involved in anything unless it involves a child without knowing the facts.

When crap happens outside ones home especially at night and the eye sight is impaired, this is what the Police are for.  Even in broad day light to come across people in a rough and tumble fight in the middle of it is no reason to take sides as a civilian and run out with a lethal weapon and take upon your self the duty to decide who is the good guy or the bad guy, unless it is obvious one of the combatants is about to die from the other. ----One with a chain saw trying to hack off anothers head, or some person kicking a dog to death, then is the time to make a calculated decision, wait for the Cops or stop anyway one can the aggressor.

Off topic, but that reminds me of my favorite prison tattoo ever.

I saw it on the arm of a late-night gas station attendant on the West Virginia Turnpike.

In large letters on his forearm: Born Looser

My favorite is a tattoo on a guy who was in my son's basic training class. It is on his chest, and has to be read in a mirror, and in the mirror appears as "Make Good Choices".

True, but the guy who I replied to made it sound like it was okay to go out there and hold someone hostage for throwing some punches.
