without reading the story, there should be different rules about anonymous or avatar posting, or even facebook, than making verbal threats face to face.

There really should be more burden on proving intent.

I wish death to some of you every day. Should I be charged? Again?

[Owlman]

Wishing? No. Even saying to someone that you are going to kill them isn't against the law unless there is some action you take at the time.

But the new terrorism laws are questionable, imo. What is terrorism as opposed to just words which we are expected to handle (unless incitement)?

"Even saying to someone that you are going to kill them isn't against the law"

That's a relief for anyone who has ever interacted with IB...

[crashcourse]

hell I should be a saint based on that criteria.

I cured this one girl in indiana of the clap by reporting my ex contacts to the board of health

then this other time a little kid got hit by a car and I called 911

[hedge]

You should've called Jesus...

Think about the CNNSI days

[aTm]

I thought that was CMAC?

[eCat]

was it?

my memory is foggy from back then

[Jungle Rat]

Heh. That was back when we could hijack user names with special Ctrl-? characters. CMAC probably is still pissed at me about that.

[sardis]

But, of course...

Besides, we're too busy looking into what is eCat's web profile.

[BigRedMan]

That is still one of the funniest lines I've ever read in Goat Pen history / lore:

Rat had an entire Iranian soccer team declare jihad on his ass

[hedge]

He earned it...

[aTm]

Rat got an entire Iranian soccer team to declare jihad on CMAC.

[Jungle Rat]

And he's still hiding. I think he posts as IB now.

Those Muck Mucks were really pissed. Heh

The George Zimmerman investigation was hijacked "in a number of ways" by outside forces, said the former police chief of Sanford, Florida.

Bill Lee, who testified Monday in Zimmerman's second-degree murder trial, told CNN's George Howell in an exclusive interview that he felt pressure from city officials to arrest Zimmerman to placate the public rather than as a matter of justice.

"It was (relayed) to me that they just wanted an arrest. They didn't care if it got dismissed later," he said. "You don't do that."

When Sanford police arrived on the scene on February 26, 2012, after Zimmerman fatally shot unarmed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, they conducted a "sound" investigation, and the evidence provided no probable cause to arrest Zimmerman at the scene, he said.

I won't even get into the Martin family getting funds from a criminal fund prior to Zimmerman getting arrested.

This whole thing has stunk from day one.

more from the story

"The police department needed to do a job, and there was some influence -- outside influence and inside influence -- that forced a change in the course of the normal criminal justice process," Lee said. "With all the influence and the protests and petitions for an arrest, you still have to uphold you oath."

"That investigation was taken away from us. We weren't able to complete it," he said.

One example involved the 911 tapes, in which neighbors implored dispatchers to send police as a voice in the background screamed for help.

The Sanford police intended to release the tapes once the probe was over, Lee said, because you can't publicize evidence amid an investigation.

Instead, the mayor told him on March 16 the tapes had been released to Martin's family and the public. The family was asked to help identify voices, Lee said, but if police were in charge of the investigation, they wouldn't have presented evidence to a group.

"It should be done individually so there's no influence on the other people in the room," he said. "Then, there's no questions that can be brought up about how (an identification) was obtained or whether it was influenced."

Releasing the evidence to the public was problematic, as well, because it created the potential for someone to concoct a "story about what they observed when they really didn't observe it," he said.

---------------------------------------------------------
then you have NBC editing the tapes to make Zimmerman sound racist, which led to segment of society to make up their minds about him.

[Jungle Rat]

It's been a joke from the beginning.

[Owlman]

Wasn't that the guy who thought this fit under stand your ground?
