  1. Angel? Who gives one crap about being an angel? Innocent is the term I believe you're looking for, that's all this trial has proven.


    You know they make medicines you can take right? There has to be some flaw in your mental process, that's the only thing that makes sense. You're at best, a troll. At worse, a very mentally flawed individual

    Why can't you engage in decent discussion?



    Dave, this is the funniest, although directly hypocritical, post I've read today

  2. Is this guy for real?

    Not everyone thinks Zimmerman is an angel...

  3. You mean gas tube roll pin? It usually comes with gas tube.

    If you mean roll pins for the gas block, the one you pictured doesn't use them. Those that do have to be drilled to fit individual barrel.

    Btw, crush washer is for muzzle device, doesn't figure in free float tube. You realize free float tube takes a different barrel nut assembly than fixed handguard arrangement, right? And no delta ring/spring/ring, all that, yes?

    edit: looking back, seems you've already bought the short free float with hardware to attach it, so guess you know that part.


    - OS

    Actually there are a lot of free float tubes that use the original barrel nut. Gieselle, Noveske, Rainier, some of the Midwest Industry and a few others all use the orginal barrel nut. They clamp onto the original barrel nut after you remove the delta ring and spring assembly. It is actually a pretty ingenius design and if you look at my wife's 9mm AR next time we get together you can see the setup.

    I would get a clamp on gas block before one that is held in place by setscrews. The one you have pictured is the one to get.
    On this note, I have to recommend the Troy Ind. handguards. Simple to install (3 bolts to the barrel nut), rigid, and pretty dang spiffy. They are more pricey than some of the generic free floats, but still come in well under your Daniel Defense's, Noveske's, and so on. I'm very pleased with mine

  4. I think that's why they screen them. At any rate, if someone bent on sending Zimmerman to jail is sitting in the jury box and has been able to his their sinister plot all along, I doubt that there would be more than one. That will result in a mistrial, or the judge losing her mind berating the jury until the hold out capitulates. A mistrial for Zimmerman might as well be a not guilty verdict. The state won't try him again.


    Yep. The prosecutors might as well have had rubber dicks glued to their foreheads all week. I doubt that they want to go thru that again. :)


    Sometimes I just read these topics for the lol's, this post did not disappoint


  5. I watched some CNN today........WTF have they been watching?


    a woman on the CNN jury last night, with a straight face said she believed after Zimmerman shot Martin he called one of his buddies to punch him in the face and bounce his head off the concrete. If she believes some crap like this it is a real possibility a actual juror believes it.

    This is no way a slam dunk for the defense.

    I honestly have no feel at all for how the trial is going.


    Sadly, you're absolutely right. But there again, I'm ok if just one believes it





  6. Gues what happens when you try that...you get tansported to the hospital where they determine that ther is nothing wrong with you. Now everyone knows you are a liar...guess what the investigaring officers and the DA are going to think? Gues what will come out at trial?

    It's important that a person be cautions of what he says and how he says it but there is one universal truth in this situation; when you do speak TELL THE TRUTH; criminals lie.


    Kinda like what happened today?:

    "Dr. Valerie Rao, who was called by the prosecution to provide her assessment of Zimmerman's injuries based on photos, cast doubt on Zimmerman's claim his head was repeatedly bashed against the pavement as he fought with Martin in the Feb. 26, 2012 incident.
    "The injuries are so minor that the word slam implies great force," Rao said in response to questioning by prosecutor John Guy. "There was not great force used here."

    Rao said Zimmerman's injuries were not only "not life threatening" but were also "very insignificant." She said the injuries to the back of Zimmerman's head were consistent with hitting the ground but the injuries on his face were from consistent with one punch or strike."

    I read this and can't help but think...very easy to say for the person that didn't get their head beat on concrete. I'm sorry, but getting my head banged ONCE on the concrete without me being able to escape from someone on top of me and I'll be in reasonable fear of my life. Getting punched is one thing, getting your head bounced off concrete is another

  7. 2) From what the evidence shows, the situation came to Zimmerman or he got surprised. Now, you may think you're some sort of spec ops ninja samurai and your situational awareness never drops, but you're wrong. Plain and simple. So please, spare us your complete and utter bullcrap. We can train all we want and we can be as aware as we want, but in most self defense situations you're going to be starting behind the curve. You're going to be reacting to someone else's actions.


    The situation came to Zimmerman? So someone made him stop his vehicle, get out and become involved in a foot pursuit of a person who was apparently not engaged in any illegal activity even after the police dispatcher advised him not to do so? Wow, the force must have been really strong in that Trayvon character for him to make Zimmerman do all that just so he might get a chance to beat Zimmerman's head against the ground.

    I'll repeat what I said, and highlight a couple of facts for you, since apparently you have either missed them, or are blissfully ignoring them.

    The EVIDENCE shows the situation came to Zimmerman. The EVIDENCE shows that Martin doubled back, to confront Zimmerman, which is what led to Martin's shooting, regardless of how you feel/what you think. The EVIDENCE shows that in fact Zimmerman was never "advised to not follow Martin", a dispatcher told him they didn't need him to do that, per the 911 call. Which basically means squat. He broke no laws by stopping his truck or keeping an eye on Martin, the only law broken that started the ball rolling was Trayvon jumping Zimmerman. So, please, tell me again about this "force" you speak of. Besides any of this, if Zimmerman broke no laws (which there has been no EVIDENCE to say he has), and presented no threat to make Martin fear for his life, he was justified to end Martin's life with his firearm to protect his own. That's what the EVIDENCE shows.

  8. I just love to hear Internet badasses say "I would have just whooped that beanpole, I wouldn't have used my firearm" or "I just wouldn't have gotten in that situation"
    It's to those I speak of, I submit this...

    1) That's awesome, you fighter you. Chuck Norris would be proud. The fact of the matter is, this guy is on top of you, which would introduce leverage into the situation and it's not in your favor, regardless of weight. He's on top of you, banging your head against the concrete. Now, do you wait and wonder "Will I be able to toss him off of me before the next blow to the head? Or will the lights go out and it be the end of my life?" Or will you use your firearm? You're a fool if you still believe you're badass at that point. You think if you haven't fended him off by now that you'll somehow kick his tail after the next hard blow to the head? You won't, you'd fear for your life, and you'd stop the threat on your life. At least if you valued your own life. It's easy to say "he did this wrong" or "I woulda done this" but the fact is, if you were in the exact same spot, the result would be the same. Or....you could be dead, your choice

  9. Any thoughts on how long this political show trial is going to take? And is there enough evidence for the DOJ to charge GZ with a hate crime?




    DOJ can, of course, do whatever they want--and they do--but the FBI already had a handful of SAs down in Sanford to hunt for evidence of racial motive, and they came up empty.

    Obviously the FBI doesn't have anything on some of TGO's finest, because they managed to find plenty of racial motive, without any evidence, from the comfy of their easy chair.

    I had to read it twice since I have been up all night, but did chuckle when it sank in
  10. It doesn't matter if he was up to something or not... I'd argue that a reasonable person in that situation could believe he might be up to something, but even that doesn't matter...

    It's not a crime to think somebody *might* be up to no good, it's not a crime to call the police because you think a person is acting suspicious, it's not a crime to follow in your vehicle a person you think my be up to no good while on the phone with E911, and it's also not illegal to follow somebody on foot who you believe is acting suspicious in your neighborhood.

    We know for a fact that before hanging up with E911, Zimmerman had not committed a crime, and was legally in the commons area of his neighborhood. We know this because of the E911 call that has been released in it's entirety to the public, and it's clear no criminal act on the part of Zimmerman had taken place up until that point in time.

    I've listened to that call a number of time, and it appears to me that Zimmerman exited his vehicle to keep TM in sight so that the police who were being dispatched to his neighborhood could question the teen. I never get the impression that at anytime was Zimmerman attempting to 'arrest' or physically come in contact with TM. Also, it's clear that whatever his motive, he had stopped 'following' the teen before the E911 call had ended, and was focused on getting an address to help the police meet up with him.

    So, the 'hand picked DA' would like us to believe that after doing nothing illegally up until the point the E911 call ended, that sudden Zimmerman went into 'criminal' mode and somehow started a physical altercation with TM, then when overwhelmed by TM's physical force needlessly shot the teen?

    That 'line of thinking' doesn't match the fair solid interview that Zimmerman gave the police (without an attorney present) the next day on video at the scene. Nor does it match any eye witness statements the police collected.

    Don't get me wrong, Zimmerman made a ton of mistakes, and was a piss poor neighborhood watch captain... He should have had a map of the neighborhood with street names and addresses listed so he could give a clear address to E911... he should have stayed in his car, nothing that teen was going to do that night was worth placing himself in physical danger over.

    But, none of that is criminal behavior... at the end of the day, it appears as if Zimmerman was assaulted by TM, and during that assault he (and I believe any of us) felt threatened with serious injury or death by having their head smacked into the ground/concrete... At the point TM had him on the ground, on top of Zimmerman, and was beating his head against the ground, TM had lost any self defense status he might have had under any crazy theories anybody can come up with... So on the face of it, it appears to be a justified shooting.

    BTW, lets all be honest here... Zimmerman isn't the sharpest knife in the draw... how does he bumble into a fight with a teen and ends up on the ground getting his head bashed it... yet somehow is smart enough to come up with a story that completely matches the physical evidence and all other eyewitness accounts... You can't have it both ways, he can't be an idiot who got himself in over his head, yet a genius who in less than 24 hours with no help from an attorney came up with a perfectly fitting 'story'.


    Very well said, better than I could have. So I'll just say...this for me too
  11. I can't help but wonder if he had the thought process to not shoot that one in fear of what the others on the ground may do. I know dang well what I would have done...reload

    The thing I found most interesting is the absolute speed that the bear climbed the tree with. I had no idea they could just shuffle up a tree like that
  12. Dave, there's no "fact" to support any type of profiling. Racial, or otherwise. You're wrong, though I suspect you'll never succumb to the fact. I know facts aren't your strong suit, since yet again you've danced around showing any evidence that there was ANY FORM of profiling, that you presented as "fact". It's not anyone else's job to prove anything except you. You presented the profiling as fact, yet there is no evidence to support the claim, quite the contrary actually, you're grasping at straws. Jesus riding a donkey man, you're unreal. You guys can have this guy, ignore list here he comes. I can't stand the mindf%ck that is DaveS any longer
