Has anyone considered a charity drive where players can donate PLEX to CCP, which will then donate real-life isk to George Zimmerman to aid in funding his legal defense?

The "Make Murk a Billionaire Foundation" is by far a much more noble cause than THAT. (Yes I am that terrible at holding onto my isk).

He should just plead guilty & pay a fine or whatever.

He doesn't need to plead guilty, he's totally innocent of any wrongdoing under Florida law. It's pretty much a layup from the defendant's side, the only reason it's even a big deal is Americans are crazy racist.

Yea....no, he'll jsut eat all the isk lol.

In my IRL job i've had to respond to gated communities and deal with people like ole Zimm (neighborhood watch types). Overzealous wannabe cops who could get a real police job usually. i'm just surprised what happened in florida doesn't happen more often.

If you're scamming for the PLEX then your post is okay and the thread shouldn't be locked.

If you're actually wanting to help Zimmerman's defense fund, then you're in political/controversy waters and your post is not okay and the thread should be locked.

I don't always call a witness. But when I do, she can't read and repeats racial slurs with delight.

It's a test case of gun control pure and simple.

Race became a factor when NBC edited (again) the audiotape, and made him out to sound like a racist (when it was the dispatcher, as normal, asked about his race when filing the report). Just like media did with OJ Simpson in altering his booking photo. Just like the media did in hounding Michael Jackson as some pedo, to sway public opinion.

When the media wants to crucify people they do it, and the usual double standards applies.
