At tabletop i allow players to roll their stats and give them 60 plus the Ref and Int in pickup as the book allows. As a general rule the rolled stats can placed where the player wants them so they can play an awesome solo, or a top notch techie. As a gm your the storyteller...the players are the heroes of the story. If they are just mediocre assholes then its not much fun for them.

My kinda people right there.

Going to be starting up a chat based game in the setting of Lost Angeles after Christmas. Just kinda fishing for interest to see who bites. Just go to this link..

LIFEPATH

16. Made an enemy of an old childhood friend named Desmond Malloy. When I was about to join the military and had the prerequisites for it done, he was initiating into a gang. We argued and I told him he was a thug and taking a cowards way out. He and the Slaughterhouse deserve each other. Prick.

 

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p91/doo...03x/Desmond.jpg

 

17. My cousin Kenny Riley joined the army with me and we spent a good deal of our first year in the Army patrolling near the Mexican border in the Nevada region. Our squad was jumped by Shiv and it was a brutal fight where only a few of us came out alive. I got hit and Kenny ran thinking I was dying, I guess. I fought through and when I got out of the med bay we had a discussion that went well beyond words. To this day I still want to beat him to death with my bare hands, but he's now a mamber of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I also got my nickname in that fight. In desperation during the battle I threw a pitchfork at one of the shiv and stuck him right in the throat. 'Pitchfork' became my new name. Fame has both perks, and consequences.

 

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p91/doo...nySherman-1.jpg

 

18. After the firefight and the fistfight which followed my C.O. decided I needed a break from the field, and put me patrolling base. Aside from playing M.P. and breaking up the occasional fistfight nothing happened.

19. Finally got back out on patrol duty and found many of my old platoon mates had either been killed or rotated out to other assignments. One night we stopped at an abandoned barn for some rest. Corporal Stevens went outside and was gone a long time. When he did come back he seemed a little out of sorts. With the rest of the men asleep and me on watch I elected not to question it. The next morning one of our guys named Hardesky found a teenage mexican girl raped and strangled about 100 yards from the Barn. I agonized for weeks what to do, knowing full well he killed that girl. Rather than try to court martial him...I shot him during a skirmish. No one ever questioned it but he deserved it.

 

20. We rotated in a few foriegners that year and one of them was an isreali named Abrehem Malik. We trained alot in Krav Maga and I got pretty good. {+2 to Martial Art}

 

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p91/doo...03x/Abrehem.jpg

 

21. This was supposed to be my last year in the army, however someone higher up had different plans. I was installed with some stuff that put Uncle Sam in full control of my future. We had alot of border skirmishes that year too. Renegade mexicans, shiv, even a drug runner convoy that tried to blast through our zone. What took me out of action for three months? A fucking rattlesnake. I got bit diving for cover, felt the bite and knew I had taken a bullet kin the calf. Once the adrenalie wore off I collapsed. The venom almost killed me.

 

22. Another rough year in Uncle Sams border patrol. I spent some light duty time in supply getting myself back in shape when inventory revealed several rifles and thousands of rounds of ordinance were missing. For several weeks I was suspect number one, until they figured out a private from supply had a cousin in the Las Vegas Mob and was selling him arms on Uncle Sam's dime.

 

23. I met a girl named Holly Price from some little town in Kansas. She was a good shot, and a hardcore soldier. We flirted alot with each other and eventually we started up a romance. Was completely off the books because she was a private and I was a Sargeant. Was my first time in love and I fell hard. She went on patrol late in the year and got hit hard by a group of Shiv and she was cut down by one of the Shiv Captains. They were able to drive them off but her death left a little hole in my soul I'll never fill. And If I EVER see the shiv named Machete Mendez again...I will kill him.

 

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p91/doo...e403x/Holly.jpg

 

24. My C.O. learned about the forbidden romance between me and Holly and even after her death threatened me with court martial. He also implied that he could fudge some old intelligence and reopen the arms scandal again. Get me in Leavenworth unless I played ball his way. I think he thought I knew something on him, bu i was forced to kowtow and never did figure out why I spooked him so much. Lt. Bridges was as shifty as they come however, and I hope to never see him again.

 

25. Little happened that year save I was discharged from the Army. I wandered the roads for a while with some nomads before making it back to Night City. Having few skills other than killing, I did mercenary work freelance. It didn't amount to much more than popping some gang members, or extracting someone or something of minor value.

 

26. A little job turned into some big time trouble for me. A rash of strongarm violence had broke out in Stillwater, and I was hired with some others to investigate, and disband the organization. I had a strong suspicion we were hired by the Syndicate, however I was never able to prove it. Our probings led us to a small crew of assholes who had been hopscotching all over Night City robbing and racketeering. One of them I knew. Tito Garza. We went to high school together and he was always a thug. Of the six men in that crew only Tito got away.

27. Got a good rep on that last job and was contacted by a Lazarus Representative named Kelly Morris to work the Night City region.

Tiarra 0/1/0/2

While Pitchfork remembers being laid up in the hospital dying from a snakebite as a mostly bad thing, his road to recovery made him a friend. Tiarra showed up in the hospital and had lost an arm from what she described as a case of weapons mishandling. In truth she is a former CIA operative who was deep cover in Mexico when a rival cartel struck. She escaped and made it to the border. Her arm was replaced and she spent a few weeks there getting to know people and waiting for a debrief. When she left the agency she landed in Night City and set up a small but lucrative forgery network. Aside from that, she is often called upon to handle jobs. When Pitchfork came back to town, they reconnected and he occasionally aids her. To this day he doesnt know she was a spook.

 

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p91/doo...3x/Daphne-2.jpg

 

Daphne 2/0/1/0

Daphne is a ripperdoc who has a secret clinic in the basement of her tattoo shop. Pitchfork met her recently while on the hunt for Tito Garza, and the team fixer brought them here to get patched up. He liked her enough that he promised to bring all his medical needs to her. She can often get her hands on high dollar cyberware, or knows who has the wares needed.

 

Marco Tucci

My boss at Lazarus who is a mid teir company exec and is over several solo teams. He reports directly to the VP of the Night City branch of Lazarus named Jonathan Forrester.

 

Double Tap

A solo who works for Lazarus that specializes in handguns and appears to be a two fister. We shared a few beers and talked shit for about an hour on our first meeting.

 

Jesse

A young kid who works for Lazarus mostly as an errand boy, however has been on a few low level ops here and there. For whatever reason it seems Arasaka has decided he needed to be cased and bugged. This was thwarted using a fake job to keep him distracted while I swept the place. By all indications he seems loyal and eager to learn. A little more digging revealed he is actually Isreali. Real name is Jeshua and he is kinda working for Lazarus as a favor.

 

Elizabeth Samuels

Right after the Jesse op, I came up on a mass attack perpetrated by the Neon Face Biters. They flash mobbed a van and began ripping out the occupants for dinner. Immediately I jumped into action and and began dropping as many as I could. A few others helped and in the end the NFB was on the run. Only one member of the family survived. An eleven year old girl. Rather than left the robot police put her into an orphanage I opted to try and locate someone in the nomads who was her kin. There was no one. I took it upon myself to raise her because there seems no other options. I don't really know how, but I'm going to try my best.

Garage Workshop: A little Honda XR-80 and a 9mm Browning Hi-Power. Both needing some work to return to function. Also has a Microtech IIKL-4 WS Computer for home school. New purchase is a SEMI AUTO schmeiser Mp-40 subgun and she has her own CV-4 Helmet for when she's riding her bike. A wolfdog pup named Percy.

 

Isabella Esposito

A latin nanny in her thirties whom I hired to help me raise Elizabeth. Good references and affordably priced. She does have the distinction of having slept with Louis Oliver Lambert and taking care of his nanny crush. She is pretty much always on call, and has her own room in the dupplex for times when she has to stay overnight. She has one of my weapons, the Armalite .44 in her room.

 

Kim

A fetching Irish lass whom I exchanged numbers with at O'flannerys pub. The only thing I know about her is she is very attractive with long red hair. Had a great zoo trip and an even better one on one date where she invited me to spend the night. We see one another sporadically throughout the week, and I managed to wrangle her a job doing data entry with Trauma Team.

 

Angela Rays

A buxom blonde bartender who was the target of a serial killer. I spent several days following her and gave her a gun when I figured out the killer wasn't going to come back. She has my number.

 

Mitchell Jones

Trauma Team Security Chief who digs me and owes me a favor. I actually cashed in and got him to get Kim a job in the Trauma Team data entry department.

 

Donna Esposito

A cute {attr 8} latina clerk who works at the exotic pet store in Little Italy. I bought Elizabeth's wolfdog from her and she was very friendly. we exchanged numbers on a professional level.

 

Robert Guidamolle

A very gay frenchman who has both a legal warrant for his arrest, and visa troubles. I brought him in to solve a problem, and got him fired from his cushy country club job in the palisades. The good news is I have some connections and am trying to get him on at the Lap of Luxury in Little Italy as they surely service gay and bi clientelle. I also used my CIA contacts to put a hold on his visa problem.

 

Hernan Johanssen

The biggest asshole and racist fuckwad I ever met. If I EVER see him again...he's gonna die. I don't care how many people are guarding, or who's guarding him, he will feel the fury of my wrath. He welched me for 4g on a pain in the ass job.

This helmet(SP: 20) features a full faceplate equipped with anti-dazzle, low light, thermoptics, Ultraviolet, Times Square, and targeting scope, the helmet also has a built in radio and lasercomm. Finally the helmet is self sealing and acts as a gasmask. The goggles are actually high tech binoculars (treat as teleoptics with x4 range). Like the uniform and armor, the color of both helmet and faceplate varies, from standard blue and silver, to high visibility gold and red, to helmets in more stealthy colors or camo with non reflective visors for covert or field operations.

Tiarra 0/1/0/2

While Pitchfork remembers being laid up in the hospital dying from a snakebite as a mostly bad thing, his road to recovery made him a friend. Tiarra showed up in the hospital and had lost an arm from what she described as a case of weapons mishandling. In truth she is a former CIA operative who was deep cover in Mexico when a rival cartel struck. She escaped and made it to the border. Her arm was replaced and she spent a few weeks there getting to know people and waiting for a debrief. When she left the agency she landed in Night City and set up a small but lucrative forgery network. Aside from that, she is often called upon to handle jobs. When Pitchfork came back to town, they reconnected and he occasionally aids her. To this day he doesnt know she was a spook.

 

http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p91/doo...3x/Daphne-2.jpg

 

Daphne 2/0/1/0

Daphne is a ripperdoc who has a secret clinic in the basement of her tattoo shop. Pitchfork met her recently while on the hunt for Tito Garza, and the team fixer brought them here to get patched up. He liked her enough that he promised to bring all his medical needs to her. She can often get her hands on high dollar cyberware, or knows who has the wares needed.

 

Marco Tucci

My boss at Lazarus who is a mid teir company exec and is over several solo teams. He reports directly to the VP of the Night City branch of Lazarus named Jonathan Forrester.

 

Double Tap

A solo who works for Lazarus that specializes in handguns and appears to be a two fister. We shared a few beers and talked shit for about an hour on our first meeting.

 

Jesse

A young kid who works for Lazarus mostly as an errand boy, however has been on a few low level ops here and there. For whatever reason it seems Arasaka has decided he needed to be cased and bugged. This was thwarted using a fake job to keep him distracted while I swept the place. By all indications he seems loyal and eager to learn. A little more digging revealed he is actually Isreali. Real name is Jeshua and he is kinda working for Lazarus as a favor.

 

Elizabeth Samuels

Right after the Jesse op, I came up on a mass attack perpetrated by the Neon Face Biters. They flash mobbed a van and began ripping out the occupants for dinner. Immediately I jumped into action and and began dropping as many as I could. A few others helped and in the end the NFB was on the run. Only one member of the family survived. An eleven year old girl. Rather than left the robot police put her into an orphanage I opted to try and locate someone in the nomads who was her kin. There was no one. I took it upon myself to raise her because there seems no other options. I don't really know how, but I'm going to try my best.

Garage Workshop: A little Honda XR-80 and a 9mm Browning Hi-Power. Both needing some work to return to function. Also has a Microtech IIKL-4 WS Computer for home school. New purchase is a SEMI AUTO schmeiser Mp-40 subgun and she has her own CV-4 Helmet for when she's riding her bike. A wolfdog pup named Percy.

 

Isabella Esposito

A latin nanny in her thirties whom I hired to help me raise Elizabeth. Good references and affordably priced. She does have the distinction of having slept with Louis Oliver Lambert and taking care of his nanny crush. She is pretty much always on call, and has her own room in the dupplex for times when she has to stay overnight. She has one of my weapons, the Armalite .44 in her room.

 

Kim

A fetching Irish lass whom I exchanged numbers with at O'flannerys pub. The only thing I know about her is she is very attractive with long red hair. Had a great zoo trip and an even better one on one date where she invited me to spend the night. We see one another sporadically throughout the week, and I managed to wrangle her a job doing data entry with Trauma Team.

 

Angela Rays

A buxom blonde bartender who was the target of a serial killer. I spent several days following her and gave her a gun when I figured out the killer wasn't going to come back. She has my number.

 

Mitchell Jones

Trauma Team Security Chief who digs me and owes me a favor. I actually cashed in and got him to get Kim a job in the Trauma Team data entry department.

 

Donna Esposito

A cute {attr 8} latina clerk who works at the exotic pet store in Little Italy. I bought Elizabeth's wolfdog from her and she was very friendly. we exchanged numbers on a professional level.

 

Robert Guidamolle

A very gay frenchman who has both a legal warrant for his arrest, and visa troubles. I brought him in to solve a problem, and got him fired from his cushy country club job in the palisades. The good news is I have some connections and am trying to get him on at the Lap of Luxury in Little Italy as they surely service gay and bi clientelle. I also used my CIA contacts to put a hold on his visa problem.

 

Hernan Johanssen

The biggest asshole and racist fuckwad I ever met. If I EVER see him again...he's gonna die. I don't care how many people are guarding, or who's guarding him, he will feel the fury of my wrath. He welched me for 4g on a pain in the ass job.

Rufus is a high school nerd living in Night City, and going to school in Stillwater. His mother is an X-Ray technician at Trauma Team, while his father is a former Militech armorer. He started his gunsmithing career before he was even a teenager, and his skills only blossomed from there. Aside from gunsmithing he is also an accomplished locksmith who can break into just about anything. His best friend and edgerunning partner is a netrunner named Watcher. She is kinda his mother in the field and is showing him how to stay on the 'good side' of the business.

 

He really shines when building and modifying guns, often using his spare time for 'project' weapons. Taking guns that are crappy, or just average out of the box, and wringing them out to the nth degree. He carries a Prototype Mamba on jobs that he is very proud of. one of his first builds, and one he thinks he can produce for collectors.

Fully enclosed with an optional armored faceplate/gasmask, the drop down visor is equipped with LL, Thermograph, and tele-optics and a built in short range radio completes the helmet.

 

Gun builds

2028 Lattimer Mamba

Basically a rework of the Rhodesian machine pistol design chambered for the 10mm caseless cartridge. From the ground up this weapon has been built with better quality parts, and better engineering tolerances. In short, this design may look very similar to the junk 9mm knock offs on the street, it is actually much better in function and design. The new base stats are listed below. The caseless design allows for a few more rounds without changing the overall looks of the weapon, and the full auto design has been changed from straight full auto, to semi or three round burst.

This weapon is in the prototype phase, thus has not been priced.

Standard Weapon

Prototype Lattimer Mamba

P +2 J R 3d6+3{10mm caseless} 20 3/2 VR 75m

 

The operational prototype comes with two barrels. One for regular shooting, the second an operations barrel with an extension and threaded for silencer attachment. It also has a silencer.

 

Federated Arms Cheesmaker

FEDERATED ARMS "CHEESEMAKER" 325eb

P - 0 - L - P - 4D6 (.20 gauge) - 5 - 1 - VR 25m

 

A nice little pistol sized .20ga shotgun, built to compete with Militech's Crusher. Actually the sales of this weapon have surpassed those of the Crusher, due to this weapons lower price tag. Thus far his only modifications to the weapon have been to increase the accuracy and adding a laser sight. A choke has been added to keep the shot pattern tighter and increase damage to a smaller surface area. That mixed with a bigger powder charge amps up the volume of the damage. At last check is now a quality weapon with a multiplier in the pistolgrip.

 

Fabrique De Arms Insurgent

RIF +1 L C 5.56CL {6D6} 40/15 1/3 VR 450m

 

The Insurgent’s rebuild platform took alot of part swapping and machining. Tuning down the rate of fire to burst mode helped the weapons action tremendously. A few more tweaks the weapon is service ready for the field tests.

 

I was watching this movie the other day on netflix called 'kill em all'. It was basically one of those cheezy martial arts movies where chop socky was the order of the da and much tush was kicked. Well the reason I bring it up is because a few things that happened in this show went above and beyond the standard cp2020 rules. One of the main guys could literally spin kick with both feet which was something I don't think I ever saw before.

 

Martial arts is a crazy powerful skill in 2020.

I've been playing on this site for a while now and love it. We could still use some more players as it's always a good time and the more the merrier.

Just to chime in here...

 

I've done scenes on this site and Citizen X is a fine GM and runs a good game. If you love Cyberpunk you should roll on over and check it out.

Every time I log into this site or the past two days this virtual coupon pops up? The site been hacked? Does it now haz sponsers? Couldn't we get something a little more titilating that a clothing company? How bout a discount at hooters or ammo america?

All this deep philosophical talk about tech...and my VCR still blinks 12:00.

 

I never wore one off the ones with all the plates and stuff. mine was a concealable model maybe 2A or something.

 

2A is the lightest vest recommended by NIJ and it barely stops anything. Problem is a lot of vests don't even meet the NIJ levels they have been tested at meaning they're even more than worthless as they give a false sense of security to the wearer. Anyone remember the Zylon fiasco a few years back? Vests that would lose structural integrity if they were sweated on? Yeah, those vests.

 

Have you ever been to Missouri?

Yep, head down almost every summer. Dress up in medieval armor with an almost one inch thick padded gambeson on under my hard armor. In the middle of June. During the heat of the day. Beating the stuffing out of other people. For the entire morning and afternoon. It definitely gets hot. Lots of water, pickles and oranges. It does suck but not nearly as much as when I lived in Georgia, wearing a full flak vest in 107ºF temps with 93% humidity. You can't sweat fast enough to keep cool. That was brutal. I've done construction in Minnesota summers that were almost as hot and humid. It sucks, I'm a cold weather kind of guy to start with.

 

All this babbling (I was up late drinking last night) alludes to statement that SP 12 skin weave wouldn't be possible with CP2020 level tech as it would either be too inflexible for the character to move around in or would be flexible enough but wouldn't be able to stop any reasonable amounts of trauma. Add in the heat retention factors, decreased sweat glands and touch receptors, potential for medical side effects and the meta-gaming issues skin weave is something I've severely nerfed in my games.

 

And what happens when its time to Get your lovin on...

 

Gonna need a lot of foreplay to beat that SP...

 

Just sayin

 

I live in a town called Steelville...floating capital of missouri.

 

 

With the backface deformation limits on NIJ rated armor blunt trauma is a lot less of a problem. I've got a Level IV Interceptor vest with plates that I'll gladly let someone take a shot at my ribs with a baseball base with. Might get a little bruising but I'm sure my BTM will shrug it off. I honestly think the writes of CP2020 had very little experience with how heavy and stiff body armor is to be able to stop penetration without attendant cracked ribs or other impact wounds.

 

 

I never wore one off the ones with all the plates and stuff. mine was a concealable model maybe 2A or something. I dont remember. What I do remember was aside from the kevlar front and back there was a pocket for another compressed chunk of kevlar center mass. I even had one that had a robber backed steel plate that went there. I know with the vest I wore I'd get some cracked ribs from a bat, but the ones like the swat boys wear I'm not so sure.

 

Have you ever been to Missouri?

 

Summers here have a tendancy to be HOT. Not just hot, but muggy as hell. I worked nights but there were many a hot night I would strip off that vest and lay it in the front seat because it was so damn stiffling. You sweat like a prostitiute at a revival and i can't imagine wearing three layers of that crap.

 

I used to wear a vest daily and while knives can punch it, someones idea of making blunt force a bane is dead wrong. An armor-t is essentially a plat on both side of your body that kindof overlap on the sides. You wear em a little tight of course but its still about 1/4 inch of compressed kevlar on either side of your body. We used to hit each each other in the chest alot. You could flat out punch someone full strength and they would never feel it. I would definately contend hitting someone with a club would have the same effect. That material is thick. It's not like a T-shirt. It really is like torso armor and it did help a bit in fights. If you get hit in the back or in the chest, you just didn't feel it as much.

 

I do agree with the roleplay aspect. Why wear heavy armor to go get a pack of smokes?

Already in

 

Corporate Liason accounted for.

May strippers rain upon you sir...

 

I'll begin the rainstorm...

 

In my mind Cyberpunk is one of the better gaming systems out there. There are two things in the game that broke the system.

 

1. Special Abilities: Obviously SOME special Abilities are far better than others...

 

2. Armor

 

The bigger the bullets get the more armor you stack on. If you play by the standard Cyberpunk rules you will find most people just stack on 20+ sp in the onset of the game. This in fact means nothing short of a rifle round is going to punch. Pistols, generally even with AP are just decoration.

 

I don't mind skinweave with limits. Many good points were brought up in this post. Skin density, rubbery lookin, ad infinitum. Pretty much when I allow Skinweave {Which isnt often} I limit to 6 sp. Now you say only 6sp? Yeah I think 6sp NAKED is a pretty good boon compared to 0sp.

 

In the current game I am limiting jackets & pants to 6 & 8 sp. To make my players think more tactically as opposed to standing in a hail of bullets like some bulletproof cyber superman.

A LEO would have the right to stop Martin.

 

The point is no one knows what happened save Zimmerman was following some kid around, pput himself in his path and a fight broke out. For all we know he approached martin after following him and tried to stop him.

 

Some camps say Martin jumped him and that might be true.

 

Witness statements are less than conclusive as to what sparked things as no one agrees on who the agressor was.

 

Zimmerman will be convicted...of this I'm sure.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_v._Ohio

 

Notice the verbage says police officer...citizens have no right to detain someone walking down the street. If they tried they could possibly be charged with...

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_imprisonment

 

It's kind of a misgnomer but it blankets holding someone in an area against their will. Such as someone walking down the street getting stopped by someone to hold them for police. In the case of Trayvon Martin let's review. What was his crime? What exactly did he do that would make it legal for Zimmerman or anyone to stop him and hold him for police?

 

He was walking...down a street...To qoute you...."Holy crap I do that every day".

 

He followed the kid...

 

You don't think a reasonable person...under those circumstances would be leary? What if it was YOUR WIFE. Someone is just following her on the way home from the store. That's called suspicious behavior and it speaks to me loud and clear that someone has ill will towards me. Add that it's at night. Then the vehicle pulls up and a dude gets out putting himself in my path. What does he want? Do I know them? Are they wearing a uniform? That's what you don't want to concede sir. You see this guy with his CCW who killed a kid and want to make him a victim. I see a kid walking home who felt like he was prey in someone's hunt. Did they both make poor decisions? Hell yeah. Trayvon should've run, but we REALLY don't know that had that option. We have Zimmerman's side of the story. A man who in my opinion instigated alot off this and pushed it towards a violent conclusion. We will never know if Zimmerman is telling the truth because one side of this story is dead. Personally I believe he's a liar.

 

The point is you act like the man had the right to approach this kid and detain him for police. I'm saying with Zimmerman following, when he was specifically told not to, and putting himself in the kids path EVERY warning bell was ringing in that kids head. He was about to be kidnapped, assaulted, robbed, or god knows what in his mind.

 

Someone comes up to me at night that I don't know I keep my distance and ask them to do the same. You never know what's in a persons mind. Daytime you can see better and people can see you. Those hypersensitivities can relax. At night when approached by someone you don't know with unknown motives...your a fool to act like it's the checkout line at the grocery store.

IF that is indeed the case. How hard is it to get injured in a fight hanns? Again The girlfriend heard someone talking to Martin before it degenerated into a fight.

 

No he DOES NOT have the right to follow and aproach people. Citizens aren't permitted to detain people without cause. If Trayvon was mugging someone or had performed a crime of some type then you could probably get away with holding them for the police. Doing a terry stop just because he's walking down the street wearing a hoodie? A citizen is not a trained police officer and does not have the same rights. If you think you do, thats fine, but you could be arrested under unlawful detainment in missouri.

 

Tell you what you let someone try to stop me on these grounds. if I'm walking home and someone pops out and decides I need to stop to talk to them it's gonna be on! I don't know who they are..and for all I know I'm about to get mugged.

 

Sorry Hanns you are dead wrong.

You forget a few things Hanns

 

1. Zimmerman wasn't an authority figure at all. Great he was the captain of the neighborhood watch. You know who cares about that? No one. That does not give you power to stop people. Does not allow you follow people, and definately doesn't give you the power to detain them.

 

2. So you think it's unreasonable that a kid walking home alone at night, with someone following him in a vehicle wouldn't get afraid? Tell me something, why did the cops take so long to talk to the girlfriend? She heard someone approach Martin and say something. She also heard Martin excitedly ask why he was following him. Now with that said...if someone is following YOU and they approach and aren't wearing a uniform, and you don't know their intentions, what are you going to do. Fight or Flight. Run or stand your ground. For all that kid knew he was going to get carved up, raped, and slaughtered. You put someone on hyper vigilance and they pop off its no ones fault but your own.

 

3. Were you aware Zimmerman was a frequent caller of 911? As an ex-cop do you have any idea how seriously a caller of that frequency is taken? Not at all. After a while it's a joke.

 

In essence he shouldve left that kid alone. He called it in and did what he was supposed to do. Approaching him was no more than passive aggressive behavior that led to a kid getting killed.

There is a stand your ground law in Florida. Now that law allows you the right to fight rather than flee during an altercation, however if your the perpetrator of the altercation the rules change. I think it's pretty obvious ZImmerman saw a black kid in a hoodie in his neighborhood and called the cops. He complained loudly that the perps always escaped and that he was following. He also mentioned the kid saw him.

 

Now look at it from the kids point of view. Your walking along and someone in a vehicle is following you and scooping you out. How the hell are you to know your not about to be kidnapped or worse? You don't. So when Zimmerman put himself in the kids ath he lit the fuse on the fight/flight response.

 

In my book Zimmerman is an idiot who not only showed the poorest judgement in this instance, but also was probably too stupid to ever carry a handgun.

 

The police mishandling the case from the start, and our black radical leaders posturing have done nothing short of turning it into a three ring circus.

 

Zimmerman deserves to go to prison and in my estimation he should be charged with no less than second degree murder.

I would rather see someone besides Colin Farrell in it.
