  1. I would never want to be "the one in the family who sent daughter/sister/mom/aunt/etc to prison". There is NO help in that system for addiction. The family can step up and take over the care of the kids without doing that.
  2. There are some amazing SYG laws and cases regarding them. Given a few cited in that report, I tend to believe Mr. Zimmerman will walk. Zimmerman NEW legal page
  3. I thought they were busy taking over Greece. Again.
  4. So you're saying that jail won't work...so why send her back? Family betrayal would be one hell of a hit too wouldn't it? I say rehab - should be part of her legal case as well. Repeatedly sending her to jail will accomplish nothing IMO. Best of luck, that's a tough one.
  5. IMO, none really. Some will see it as choosing sides I suppose. We threw some in the bucket for the Martin family. It's not their fault their son is gone. I feel a great deal of sympathy for a parent to lose a child, more so in a violent manner. I'm also willing to donate to Mr. Zimmerman as I expect he has a load of life challenges in front of him and I fully support our right as humans to defend ourselves from a violent assault.
  6. The fourth choice as well. Trial? What trial? He walked!
  7. We didn't watch or see any of it. We were busy living life.
  8. I would say you are quite correct. I cannot imagine not being able to work on the road. Amazing how maddening a simple human mistake can be. Best of luck to the OP in getting the new toy ASAP.
  9. Oh, sorry for my misunderstanding then. More coffee..... So given their line of business...what are the odds the address delivered to is someone in the industry?
  10. So you're saying this is a FedEx issue, yet you're willing to throw shit on NZ Aerosports? Classy!
  11. at the first rally in the park in Sanford, Reverend Al Sharpton had the Home Depot 5-gallon buckets passed around. LOTS OF THEM. I believe the Martin family is making a fat stack of cash from this incident.
  12. Very nice piece written by a local Orlando criminal defense attorney. Mark Nejame
  13. UK doesn't require the day-glo orange safety tips like are required in the US?? Or are theirs as easily removed there too?
  14. I expect the state to try and use Mr. Martin's girlfriend in re: her phone call with Mr. Martin. I don't expect her to be able to say much in testimony outside of confirming the call and what SHE said.
  15. SYG was considered to be an extension of the castle doctrine.
  16. Water??? No thanks - I don't wanna drown! Think about all that gear wet and how much that could weigh you down.
  17. Sounds like your legs went to sleep...and therefore you didn't get them up as required. I hate when a tandem student gets broken! I tend to be very firm with some (especially the larger ones that are also NOT in decent physical shape). I tell them bluntly: "If you don't lift your legs we have a very good chance of breaking your leg. Then you get a very expensive ride to the hospital, but you will get good drugs!" Then I show them to simply grab the jumpsuit at the knees and lift your legs up using the suit. And yes, solo landing is significantly safer and generally easier...once you understand the timing of it. I'm sorry you got hurt, yet that IS a risk. As I sit here with my right foot in an air cast. My shoe edge caught the ground on a tandem landing and folded my foot under me. I'm glad I cleared my leg before we finished landing as it could have been much worse than just a Jones Fracture. Heal up fast, then go get back in the sky!
  18. I prefer to understand the self defense meaning of the Stand Your Ground law and would like to know WHY the State of Florida prosecuted in the first place. I think the law as it is currently written would prevent this from going to trial.
  19. Just ignore me. I'm at about my limit of this place again anyway.
  20. exactly. A fuck I do not give.
  21. If you can give it, why the fuck would I buy your give a fuck???
  22. Not to mention the fact that a 911 dispatcher has less legal authority than a school crossing guard.
