And you've shot lots of people who were sitting on you?

No.  But I have watched a lot of hunting shows :ph34r:

Did they make it a point to shoot deer that are standing people?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Rachel Maddow is my liberal dreamboat. :wub:

I googled her. She looks like a gay man.

Obviously you haven't seen many gay men.

Er sorry.  Did they shoot any deer that were standing on top of people?

You know there's a reason why courts do not consider character evidence as a general rule - it doesn't tell us a damn thing about what happened on the specific night in question.

So all these stories about "ZOMG Zimmerman was fired from a job seven years ago!" and "WTF Martin was suspended for having a pot bag" are worse than useless.

Obviously the police that night didn't think so, either.

... unless it amounts to similar fact evidence. Which admittedly is a reasonably narrow enquiry.

Dude yelling for help on the 9/11 audio was not Zimmerman. I wonder who it could be?  :hmm:
