Zimmerman Charged With 2nd-Degree Murder

George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot Trayvon Martin, was charged with second-degree murder. He faces up to life in prison if convicted in the shooting. From the article: "Special prosecutor Angela Corey announced the charges but would not discuss how she arrived at them or disclose other details of her investigation, saying: 'That's why we try cases in court.' Second-degree murder is typically brought in cases when there is a fight or other confrontation that results in death and but does [not] involve a premeditated plan to kill. Corey would not disclose Zimmerman's whereabouts for his safety but said that he will be in court within 24 hours."

    If we start accepting news that is for the various sub-nerds then who knows what we will end up with. Slashdot is only for PURE nerds. Do you really want law nerds dating your daughters?

    Yeah, because gun rights vis-a-vis self defense, media bias, and a grand outpouring of racism... these have no interest to nerds, because everybody knows that the only thing nerds care about is whether or not Raspberry Pi has been released or not.

    You sound like Kristopeit with your obnoxious "slashdot != relevant." What's next, a 40 page discourse (with links) on the benefits of proper whitelisting in your hosts file, a la APK?

    For fuck's sake, stop being such an asshole.

    Why the fuck don't we add fucking parenting stories?

    I mean, I'm sure most of us have kids now.

    Hey, let's add some stuff about what's a good soccer mom van to buy!

    Let's not leave out the rich 1% of us... we need a good article on what's the best yachts.

    Why? Cause nerds like more things than tech. They have kids, they drive, they enjoy their Martha Vineyard weekends.

    OR... maybe nerds know how to find that type of news ELSEWHERE AND COME HERE FOR THE FUCKING TECH!

    Now, how about YOU FUCK OFF ASSHOLE.
