Dan Jackson weighs in on the Travyon Martin case


Recommended Posts

Quote:
The police tapes show that Zimmerman never caught up with Trayvon - and simply went back to his car and waited for the police. Trayvon then began to hunt down Zimmerman - eventually finding him at his car as Zimmerman was waiting for the police -- and then Trayvon began assaulting him there. The eye witness claimed to have seen Trayvon doing exactly that - at Zimmerman's car.

But as you point out - if Zimmerman had been locked inside his car - it would have been much harder for Trayvon to beat him as he did and so perhaps none of the violence would have happened.

This is exactly why George was not charged by the police. The police knew the facts. But after the medica hype and the involvement of President Obama and Dan Jackson from NAD - look where we are at.

This will be played out in the courts, which it is where it should be. The court of public opinion too often is lacking real facts.

May justice prevail

One thing we know - is that all of Georges friends say that George doesn't have a hateful nor racist bone in his body. How then did all of a sudden his bones change after all the hype of the media and naysayers?

Spectrum positions itself by its actions as having a liberal anti-SDA agenda. Under that "big tent" they gladly tolerate posts that use foul language and swearing to condemn the SDA beliefs and organization.

Their worst nightmare is that someone like me would come there and consistently post a balanced view without using such ad hominem methods in a true "just the facts ma'am" style.

But even that is somewhat tolerable to them - until I suggested in several posts that they sign up for the idea that nobody should be persecuted, tormented or tortured just because they have a different theological POV. (Normally an idea that liberals would support - I admit). But they were so incensed at that suggestion they urged me not to present any more balanced views on their website - so I am complying with their request.

here is a sermon from LLU that at the 20 minute point addresses the need not to torture those who do not share our beliefs.

1. Violent crime is senseless -- we all agree.

2. Jackson forgot to "lament" the senseless beating of Zimmerman.

Again Stan, where do you get this idea that everything must be played out in the courts? The ONLY reason it is in court right now is because of the fraud-er, criminal (slander) reporting of the case and because of media bias--Dan Jackson included. This is an abuse of justice in the worst way. Yes, I read the affidavit for the criminal complaint and in my professional opinion, it stinks to heck and back! There is NOTHING substantual in it at all and the judge should dismiss it for lack of merrit.

I am confident that when the facts are looked at - that George will be found innocent. But yes, this case should have been left alone as the police originally did.

According to Spectrum, the kind of balance that Bob would bring would unbalance their whole spectrum of balanced views about life.

Indeed. As I stated - normally Liberals are known for their tolerance and demonstrate that in their tolerance of some of the strongest bad-language in this or that SDA-bashing post that you can imagine. (Usually those posts come from non-SDAs or ex-SDA if we are talking about Spectrum).

What erks them is posting rather calm but direct posts that they find inconvenient because they have no answer for the points raised. That will get you booted.

Agreed Woody, it should be left for the justice system. That appears unimportant ... notice how you happened to be the only one who even acknowledged the post I made a couple days ago about the old couple in Tulsa. This in direct relation to all the many post about something that happened in Tulsa in the early 1900's. I just find human behaviour very interesting!

Doug, it was on CA and someone immediately moved it from Town Hall to Adventist World News. Woody made a reply to it ... approx a week ago. Did not see it pop up in the Active Topics after that ... I don't have time to look in all topics but at this time it appears that someone decided it need not be a part of C/A and went into the Black Hole. I maybe wrong ... doesn't appear so!

Additionally: If I am correct, and I sincerely hope that I am wrong, this is exactaly why I left CA before! And, will do so again forever ... love some of you but have better things to do with my time than to read stuff by waring factions who are hostile and one-sided.,
