Bob Costas; idiot, hack, fool, jerk, all of the above?

Several months ago, jackass. You’re a duplicitous and equivocating SOB, essence, and you’ll get a more than fair return on your “incivility”. Originally Posted by I B Hankering

Bob Costas is now off again talking about Zimmerman and Treyvon Martin. He says that it would not have happened if there were no guns involved. Okay, Zimmerman would be dead or severely injured and the unknown perp would still be walking the streets looking for his next target. Costas also forgot to talk about the lawsuit against his company and their tampering with video and audio to make Zimmerman look guilty. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

And please tell us what in Martin's past leads you to believe he was a hardened criminal who, if alive, would be looking for his next target?

Do you recommend that we do everything that the police dispatchers tell us to do? Even God allows free will but the police don't! Did I say that Martin was a hardened criminal? No, so you owe me a traction. What I was saying according to Martin's facebook page he imagined himself a up and coming badass. If he had put Zimmerman in the hospital or morgue it would give him street cred. He would be looking for his next challenge rather than turning himself into the police.

Zimmerman's responsibility was to report such incidents, not follow anyone.

I assume you think I owe you a "retraction", not a "traction". No you did not state that Martin was a "hardened criminal" but you did state "the unknown perp would still be walking the streets looking for his next target." Or looking to do something criminal. Again, there is nothing Martin did prior to his meeting Zimmerman that would indicate such actions.

#3. Had Zimmerman done nothing and Martin raped and murder a tenant "we" might be having a different conversation with a different tone ... your assessment is Monday morning quarterbacking with months of reflection and additional information that Zimmerman did not know at the time and had no way of timely finding out.

#3 is just plain stupid. What on earth would lead you to believe that Martin was planning on raping and murdering someone??? Zimmerman was an over-zealous
Deputy Dawg who over-reacted and put himself in a precarious position by following someone for absolutely no reason.

A dispatcher has no authority to tell a citizen anything. They can, as you say, give advice which the citizen is not required to follow. A person on the scene with some common sense has a better grasp on the situation that someone who answers phones and is miles away.

Exactly correct. And had Zimmerman followed the dispatcher's advice, he wouldn't be facing criminal charges as he is today.

Another fantasy lie by the (fill in the blanks) gang of 5 (IBH, JDB, W, JB, a n other).

But the fact that he was referring to something else at some prior point in his speech is absolutely no evidence that when he was referring to acts of terror he was solely referring to the original twin towers.

You are making one and one add up to a conspiracy of silence.

You may get a hint from the fact that he used the plural - actS of terror.

Is this nonsense the basis of the republican campaign?

Geez.

I don't think Obama is the best president ever, but these republican idiots scare me, given what I know that the majority of US citizens I meet are educated, wise and thoughtful.

When, in 2012, Obama referred to acts of terror, in the days after the Bhengazi terrorist attack, he was referring solely to the multiplicity of acts of terror in 2001, and did not include, when he used the term 'acts of terror', the most recent act of terror.

It's very clear now, I understand the full situation, and who the crazy ones are.

I'm out.

Obama: Well it's too early to know exactly how this came about, what group was involved, but obviously it was an attack on Americans.
