Update: Judge lets Zimmerman keep the money for now.... in part because he (the judge) does not know if he has the authority to increase Zimmerman's bail.

I can think of hundreds of causes that deserve donations better than this guy..... but he raised over 200k in a matter of days.

4/27/2012 12:24:32 PM

How many starving children in Africa will go hungry tonight, all because Zimmerman needed money for legal defense after shooting someone in the chest?

4/27/2012 12:44:17 PM

Trick question. The people who donated to Zimmerman likely wouldn't feed the starving children in Africa anyways.

Just kidding.

I bet he bought a condo.

4/27/2012 5:44:06 PM

Wow spending $50,000 in 2 months??

He should give that money to Trayvon's family for killing their son.

Are you suggesting that we should require licenses, regular inspections, extra taxes, and random spot checks for guns, like we do for vehicles?

" A police report describes how the deadly confrontation unfolded. The driver slammed on the brakes, just missing Adkins. The two men exchanged words. The shooter told police that Adkins "air swung" his hands in the direction of the SUV, but acknowledged he never hit him or his vehicle. Still, he said, he was afraid of what Adkins might do with the weapon he believed he was carrying. Although a weapon was never found, the shooter described it as a 3-foot metal pipe or bat. When Adkins lifted his hands in the air again, the driver drew his Smith and Wesson .40-caliber handgun from his sweatpants. He pointed the barrel at Adkins and racked the slide of the gun, putting a bullet in the chamber. Then he pulled the trigger. Struck in the chest, Adkins fell to the ground, face first, clutching Lady's leash. The lab stayed at her master's side, even as the life drained out of him. The shooter pulled around to the front of the Taco Bell as his fiancée called 911. He told police he had no choice but to shoot. He said he couldn't drive away from Adkins because the dog was in the way and he "thought he had no other options," according to the police report. While the shooter said he did not believe Adkins would have killed him and his fiancée had he not fired, he also said he feared Adkins was trying to hurt him."

Dude was gunned down. The shooter was not arrested - claimed self defense. - says that he felt threatened by what Daniel Atkins Jr. MIGHT do.
-Atkins never touched the shooter, or the shooters vehicle
-The weapon that the shooter claimed Atkins had (a metal pipe) was never found
-
-Daniel Atkins Jr. was 29, but had the mental capacity of a 13 year old

2) shoot them when they get upset about it

^^^^Where is the outrage from the black community?

They claimed the Trayvon Martin case wasn't about race, yet I don't see the black community or Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton all over this?


Also, WTF @ this?!?

Funny, they didn't hav a problem blasting Zimmerman's name all over the news when he hadn't been charged with a crime.

I'd almost bet that the guy who killed the guy in this case is black.

I mean, WTF.

You could have stayed in your god damn car and waited on the cops.

This is ENTIRELY different than the Zimmerman case.

There was obviously some kind of physical altercation that caused Trayvon to be shot for whatever reason.

This guy was in the safety of his own car, the other guy was not armed, only swung at his car in the AIR, and the guy just hops out and shoots him.

Now this is a fucking outrage.


If this guy had been black, it would be another racial shit storm.

The fact that nobody is even talking about this, should be all the evidence some of you idiots need that the entire reason anybody cared about the Zimmerman case was because of race.

If you don't believe that now, then I feel sorry for you.

The point is, the black community and Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton were flipping their shit over the Trayvon martin deal while claiming it wasn't about race.

Yet we have basically the same situation here, even worse if you ask me, but the shooter is black, and nobody even cares.


I care because it further proves the point I've been trying to make all throughout this thread, that the only reason anyone cared about the Zimmerman fiasco was because Trayvon was black, yet people kept saying it was only because an unnarmed person was shot, and the shooter wasn't arrested.

4/29/2012 6:15:56 PM

Now you're just trolling.

An unnarmed person was shot.

Same situation.

In this case, there was no physical confrontation.

In the Zimmerman case, there was.

Entirely different.

4/29/2012 6:16:10 PM

I guess I still thinks guns are the main problem here, not race

so I just filter out your posts with the noise

sorry about it

4/29/2012 6:23:59 PM

I don't disagree.

However, the fact that this guy wasn't arrested, and the lack of outrage from the black community is just god damn ridiculous.

everyone knows this is how the media works

some stories catch fire and others don't

4/29/2012 6:42:43 PM

Not referring to the media.

I'm referring to Jesse Jackson.

Al Sharpton.

The black community.

I don't see hoards of black people marching and protesting wanting the shooter in this case arrested and justice for Daniel Adkins.

4/29/2012 6:47:26 PM

So you get pissed at the black community for being outraged, now you're getting pissed at what you perceive to be the black communities complicity with another killing. You seem unable to think anything positive about blacks and seen unable to view black people as individuals. You've continually said negative things about blacks throughout this thread even offering up your opinion that you think it's okay to call black people the N word. It's pretty clear at this point tacolu that you are in fact racist towards blacks, and you use TWW as your racism outlet because you can't do it in real life. Pretty sad really.

Now, I was pissed because they kept claiming it wasn't about race, only that a killer hadn't been arrested for killing an unarmed person.

But now we have basically the same case, with the races reversed, and they don't care.

If it wasn't about race, then they would be outraged over this also.

Just like a few of us were arguing, you have to be consistent in your outrage, or you are going to be racists yourself.

But they aren't.

And it is ok to call black people niggers. Black people do it all the time.

What exactly do you think people were outraged about in the Trayvon case?

4/29/2012 6:54:53 PM

They were pissed that a "white man" gunned down a black kid for being black.

They claimed they were pissed because a killer had not been arrested and race didn't matter, they just wanted justice for an innocent victim.

4/29/2012 6:56:29 PM

I'm starting to think you are the absolute dumbest person on TWW tacolu.

4/29/2012 6:56:43 PM

lol you are allowed to think that.

But you can't have a group of people claiming that race doesn't matter, but then they only get outraged when something bad happens to their race.

In this case, black people.


Find me a case where black people or Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton led protests or held a march, or made a huge public spectacle over something not involving another black person.

4/29/2012 6:58:29 PM
