Health, we KNOW he shot the kid. We do NOT know what exactly happened, and whether or not it was in self-defense. Only a thorough police investigation and possible trial can come close to answering that question. An investigation is warranted. The Constitution does not protect you from investigation where warranted; it sets parameters for when police have cause to investigate you. It also guarantees you the right to a fair trial. Zimmerman has to answer for the fact that he shot someone. If he was in the right, he will be cleared, if not, he will pay for his crime. This needs to be looked at though. You can’t just shoot someone dead, say you were defending yourself, and expect no one to ask questions.
I don’t know, my kids are still young. It is true that parents are able to spend more time and energy on their older kids (especially the first one), but that could cut both ways. It could mean they grow up better adjusted, but it could also mean they grow up too smothered.
It seems you haven’t been married that long. You should encourage your wife to call your mother, ask for recipes (this always scores big MIL points)and all tat, but understand that she has to open up at her own pace.
By the same token, assure your mother that your wife has nothing against her, she just needs some time to adjust and open up.
Writer soul- it absolutely IS relevant! This was not just a massacre, but a terrorist attack. The killer had ties to extremists in Pakistan (though it is unclear whether he was involved with al Qaeda as he claimed). Obama doesn’t care about terrorism- yeah, he killed bin Laden, but that was really the least of our problems.
Health- there are a million and one better reasons not to vote for him. The Florida shooting is a mess. You seem so sure of what went down, considering that we only have one side of the story (the other side being dead). What would be wrong with having a trial and allowing Zimmerman to argue that he acted in self-defense? Let him prove it in court- if he can, he will be acquitted, if he can’t, he goes to jail. Someone is dead- of course the person who did it is going to claim he had a good reason for it. Since when do we just take his word for and not investigate? Again, if he really acted justly, he sould be able to prove it in court.
The claim that Zimmerman can’t be racist because he’s a minority is ridiculous. I teach in a NYC public school and believe me, minorities are all racist against each other. The blacks and the Hispanics particularly hate each other. And I don’t buy the “some of my best friends are [insert group here]”- I don’t buy it when someone says it about Jews, and I don’t buy it when it’s about any other group.
