Doesn't matter. He doesnt work for the Sanford police dept. Besides, what kind of idiot would patrol for crime unarmed? He is allowed to walk his own neighborhood and carry a gun. Unless they have evidence that Zimmermans story isn't true he is going to walk.
It doesn't matter whether the gun was loaded. It's a serious offense to threaten someone with a gun (or knife or club) and it's also an invitation for someone to shoot you (legally).
I think that's pretty much correct except that it's only for parts of the car without serial numbers (as strange as that sounds.) The car itself has a VIN number so it can be identified but things like the hubcaps, that are not are not identifiable would qualify. I am not a lawyer, but his is how it was explained to me by a Sheriff who taught my first CHL course about 10 years ago. Since then it has gotten easier to legally use deadly force with the castle doctrine and other laws.
This is not a case where deadly force should be used, but for those claiming it is vandalism rather than theft : Texas law permits deadly force for malicious vandalism at night. Ya'll be careful now.
Prison industrial complex? Put down the bong. It's about 2 things: Segregating criminals from society by locking them up and providing a disincentive to commit crimes.
I think you are kind of making the point for having this sort of thing as a felony. The crime rate for the UK & Europe is substantially higher than it is for the US. Incentives/dis-incentives do work, even for criminals.
I'm not sure it's any different than the other things that are being made a felony. It's no worse than someone being labeled a sex offender for public urination. As for nullifying rights for convicted felons: If you can't trust them with a gun, then maybe they shouldn't be let out of prison in the first place.
It might be illegal to take a picture of a celebrity (or anyone else) by pointing your camera at their backyard, but as far as i can tell it is perfectly legal to take a picture of them in a public place. Selling the pictures without consent is a totally different issue.
Libel might be a criminal offense in other countries but it's not in the US. You don't go to jail for libel in the US. It's a civil penalty but in this case it's doubtful you could win. No way "cunt" and "slut" are synonymous. The kid might be offensive and bringing the paper to school might be against school policy which might get him suspended or expelled, but it's not criminal and someone is likely going to end up paying a lot of money to him in a civil rights settlement.
What you are saying may very well be true in other countries but not in the US. It's perfectly legal to write or say hateful, racist things about people. There are plenty of court cases involving the KKK, Nazi party etc. which clearly show this. Don't assume that the laws in the US mirror those in Canada, the UK, Australia or any other country.
You really think fighting against Khadaffy is equivalent to fighting against the British? Maybe the concentration camp victims in WWII should have just gone on a hunger strike? Non-violent action is useless against some enemies.

Respectfully, go fuck yourself.
That makes absolutely no sense. The Soviets invaded Afghanistan, just like the Nazi's invaded Europe. The mujaheddin fought for liberation from the Soviets.
Yes, it did get the Soviets out of their country. It wasn't a battle for democracy, it was a battle of liberation. The Afghans were (and still are) a bunch of illiterate, superstitions goat herders. Libya isn't exactly first world but it has a considerable number of educated people and it's fighting against a dictator.
It's turned into a civil war. It might be better shipping the rebels AK's, anti tank weapons, man portable SAMS and lots of ammunition. Sat phones would be nice for communications but I'm not sure twitter and facebook are really all that important anymore.
I think Murdoch mentioned that it would break even at 500k subscribers. I don't think that this will reverse the general decline in newspaper revenues, but reaching break-even or profitability on the app looks pretty easy.
Activesync has been the trojan horse that allowed Android and iOS into corporate email. It's a small price to pay for the destruction of windows mobile and what could have been another windows monopoly (a god-awful one at that.)
It's a real problem. The GPS reception is very bad. I had a TMobile Vibrant and a Sprint EVO side by side and the Evo was grabbing 9 satellites right away and the Vibrant had 0 (sitting at my desk.) Outside the experience was the same. The fix provided so far only makes the network location work better. It's unfortunate since the phone is otherwise fantastic.

Self defense laws wont' protect you if you start the confrontation, that's why the key to this case is whether Martin did what Zimmerman says.

How do you know he continued stalking Martin? The reports i have heard say he tried to return to his vehicle.
If you can brute force the passcode because it is only a 4 digit number it's not much use to have secure encryption.

Some states do have laws making filming police illegal, but the courts have been throwing them out as being unconstitutional.
Damn them all to hell! :)
It probably sucks at bitcoin mining like all the other nvidia cards.

right, it's better to let them die unarmed. What part of civil war don't you understand?

If you own an 11 inch upper and have a lower that does not have a tax stamp (and isn't a pistol) you run a big risk of getting prosecuted by the ATF.
