George Zimmerman shot in the face in road rage incident

[SgtSpiderMan]

I certainly can't prove a negative, and have better things to do than beat a dead horse anyhow. To me, the fact the charges were dropped makes me satisfied they were bogus. Obviously, they are on Z's record, or we wouldn't know about them.

ETA: Do you actually have anything on Rick Scott calling for trying Z? I have googled, but been unable to find anything.

No one asked you to prove a negative. You claimed that every incident George has been in has been bogus. I specifically asked you to prove that they were bogus. That's not proving a negative.

I do in fact, it's called Rick Scott is the governor of Florida, y'know, the head of the executive branch, the branch in charge of enforcing the law.

The short version is that Rick Scott named a special prosecutor to the Zimmerman/Martin case, he didn't have to. That was his choice.

More than a month after the shooting, in order to defuse a potential violent situation, he did name a special prosecutor. I doubt that was really his choice, but he had to do something, and the local DA, probably knowing the case was unwinnable, didn't want to prosecute.

That link seems biased. I notice they said nothing about Z's injuries, but they did see fit to mention his being kicked out of college.

So no proof that the claims were bogus? Didn't think so.

No, as a point of fact Scott did not have to assign a special prosecutor to this case. He chose to do so all on his own. I'd also like to see your proof there was a "potential violent situation".

You went from not being able to find anything about Scott prosecuting Zimmerman to knowing he had to do it in a matter of a few minutes. That's amazing.

To be a bogus claim, it would have to be something that didn't happen, and that can't be proven. The fact that the claimants all dropped the accusations does tend to indicate their charges were bogus, but do not prove it.

Technically, Scott did not have to name a special prosecutor but failure to do so probably would have resulted in riots and destruction, The picture in the link you posted showed Asshole Al Sharpton and where he goes, violence usually follows. And, of course, Obama also stuck his nose into what should have been a local matter also.

Having law enforcement or the DA say that there wasn't enough proof to following through with charges would be one example of proof that the claims were all bogus, but that's never happened with Zimmerman.

All you're doing is making assumptions that you have zero proof to back you up on.

Others have assumed that Zimmerman paid people off to not press charges against him. That would be an equally valid assumption.

You're assuming that there would have been violence & riots and have less than zero proof on that claim. There wasn't even a hint of violence when Zimmerman was declared not guilty, during the trial, or before charges were filed. This is Florida, the only thing people will riot over is not being able to use their golf carts.

You'll have to show everyone where Obama "stuck his nose" into this. The person whose decision it was to put Zimmerman on trial was fully backed by the NRA not once but twice.
