Bank Error In Your Favor means you Go Directly To Jail if you try to spend the money.
I tried not believing in gravity, but it only made me lightheaded.
You'd likely find an "Emergency Powers" clause which allow the President (or whatever he's called) to rule by decree. It only takes one clause like that to make a complete mockery of the rest of the constitution.
Sorry but that fantasy of yours is not supported by either evidence or testimony. Stick to the facts as known.
Your ability to conjure up fantasies has nothing to do with the witnesses and the evidence in the trial.
When "confront his pursuer" means "knock him down and beat his head against the sidewalk" then I think there's possibly a minor flaw in your argument.
That is just utterly ridiculous. Getting out of the car makes no difference to the right to self defense.
Even "confrontation" makes no difference. The only thing that would negate the self-defense plea is if Zimmerman actually physically attacked Martin and then progressed from fighting to shooting.
And there is absolutely no evidence nor testimony that he did so.
It would be ever so refreshing if people made the slightest effort to understand the law before they started blathering about it.
I know, too much to ask.
Indeed, we have testimony that Martin was almost home when he decided to go back and attack Zimmerman.
"Except Martin's DNA was not on the holster or the gun."
That was covered in the trial. Even under ideal conditions DNA doesn't stick 100% of the time, and it was raining.
"Stand your ground" has nothing to do with this case. It's a pure case of self-defense.
"Within three generations we could weed virtually all aggressive genes out of the gene pool."
And within four generations the few aggressive ones left would rule the rest with an iron fist.
The office "power user" who convinces management that he should be able to manage his department's IT infrastructure by himself because "he's more efficient than those guys in tech support".
The highly connected programming manager who recommended a new applications platform because "it'll look good on my resume".
The large systems salesman who plays golf with the chairman of the board.
Orin Kerr has the usual detailed and insightful analysis of the case here (long, worth reading):
tl;dr - Don't talk to the police.
With all the other challenges of putting a viable human colony on Mars, it seems like perchlorates in the soil are small beans indeed.
Ah, so you think men are all objects too? We can only respond in the ways your sexist stereotypes dictate?
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
