DC Tom Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 From your beloved People's Democratic Republic... http://www.baltimore...0,5135359.story I can't believe the police are profiling the attackers as "black." Haven't we learned anything from George Zimmerman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinga Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 sounds nice, can you recommend any hotels? Nothing in MD (my home state too unfortunately) or Virginia, but a great trip is close by, to Charles Town WV... It's hilarious in fact, since it's the closest casino to DC so you get the Obama loving crowd, mixed in with folks who belong on Duck Dynasty!! Great for people watching!!

3rdnlng Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 So, is Winchester considered northern Virginia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 So, is Winchester considered northern Virginia? Depends on who you ask. On its narrowest definition, based on voting patterns, I'd say no. But the broadest consideration would be the greater DC statistical region, which would make it part of Northern Virginia. Mostly, I'd say no.

boyst Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Wow. Even Howard Stern spewed it horribly this am. Robin, too. Stern is a democrat and anti gun. Robin is crazy. I cannot believe they are saying what the msm is saying and stuff from 2012... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I eloped with my first wife to that quaint little place and was married at a DJ there. My recollection is a little hazy, we took off from WNY late one evening and thought we could do it in Maryland. Even waited for the courthouse to open up and they promptly informed us that they had a waiting period. They did give us directions to Winchester though, and after 36 hours of awake time, we got hitched. Smartest decision, lacking critical thinking I ever made.

....lybob Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 The bumbling prosecution added the manslaughter as the case closed. What that means is that the prosecution did NOT set the case up as manslaughter, but instead spent the entire case trying to get at Zimmerman's frame of mind, which was required for Murder 2. The jury (probably) didn't buy that Zimmerman was a nutjob. I gotta tell you--if the prosecution doesn't prove what it spent 2 weeks trying to prove, adding a lesser charge at the 12th hour usually won't stick because the jury thinks the prosecution failed. Zimmerman was not stupid for calling the cops. He was stupid for leaving his car. He didn't have a duty to stay in his car. He did not have to listen to the dispatcher. He was just being dumb, but dumb doesn't equal murderer. Yep prosecution was poor, all starting with over charging and going down hill from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 My comment had nothing to do with the discussion. My apologies. Clearly it's entirely my fault for misunderstanding you were adding something to the discussion that had nothing to do with the discussion. Being a non-sequitur, I had no idea your non-sequitur was, in fact, a non-sequitur, and I am at fault for immediately jumping to the conclusion once again that you are, in fact, a nitwit. So please accept my apology in the spirit in which it is intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
