Jul 2013

"They wouldn't do that," meaning that the character(s) wouldn't do/say what they did in the movie.

For instance, when the burglars in HOME ALONE kept on and on trying to get in the house after the little boy sets all sorts of booby traps on them--"They wouldn't do that."

Edited to add: Trayvon wouldn't have said that, is what I meant.

How do I know Zimmerman's a liar? Stating Trayvon said, "You got me!" [View all] Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 OP

After he'd been shot in the chest, too. PDJane Jul 2013 #1

experts say trayvon was conscious for 20 seconds to several minutes after the shot Hooray for Pepe Jul 2013 #8

That wasn't an expert..It was Zimmerman's best friend..he is not a doctor HipChick Jul 2013 #10

they meant expert on trying to free Zimmerman the racist. Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 #12

wrong. those experts are not Zimmerman's friend Hooray for Pepe Jul 2013 #15

your reading comprehension sucks Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 #20

Why do you ask me if it was 5, 1 or 30 seconds, when the article answers that? Hooray for Pepe Jul 2013 #27

Experts NOT say "trayvon was conscious for 20 seconds to several minutes after the shot" but DIFFER uppityperson Jul 2013 #32

none of them knows. Got it? none. He could have blacked out immediately Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 #33

no one in real life who's just been shot is going to say something as treacly as that. got it? Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 #11

Nope. 1 lung collapsed, the other filling with blood. "Oh gosh, you got me, you got it, you got me" uppityperson Jul 2013 #18

at which point did the lung collapse? Hooray for Pepe Jul 2013 #29

A person can have perfectly functioning vocal cords yet not be able to talk. Good grief. uppityperson Jul 2013 #36

Repeating: When did the one lung collapse? Hooray for Pepe Jul 2013 #39

maybe their juxtaposition of Zimmerman's statements and expert opinions Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 #40

Repeating: What you write implies they agreed "20 sec to several minutes" and they didn't. uppityperson Jul 2013 #42

Pepe, read about hydrostatic shock and a 9mm shot directly to the chest anneboleyn Jul 2013 #52

now you've gone from posting pro zimmerman defense threads CatWoman Jul 2013 #25

His lung was penetrated by the bullet... FarPoint Jul 2013 #37

And Zimmerman told the inverstigator that he wasn't sure he even hit Martin ? lumpy Jul 2013 #45

how about him claiming trayvon said something like "you are going to die tonight" JI7 Jul 2013 #2

yep. that too. they guy definitely shouldn't go into writing screenplays Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 #3

That's only one version Nevernose Jul 2013 #4

And this is how I know Zimmerman's a racist Scootaloo Jul 2013 #9

Excellent post malaise Jul 2013 #14

And one of his own family members says he a racist Nevernose Jul 2013 #17

Bad B-movie dialog pokerfan Jul 2013 #5

If I can believe my ears and some other ears who noted it...I listened to a tape of lumpy Jul 2013 #47

My husband said the same thing last night. Zimmerman's "You got me", kittykitty Jul 2013 #6

You forgot, "Gosh!" The other big thing, for me, pnwmom Jul 2013 #7

he wasn't holding the Skittles TorchTheWitch Jul 2013 #24

I was wondering if he still had his tea and skittles when the scuffle started. If so then its very rainy Jul 2013 #35

both the can of tea and package of Skittles were in his pocket TorchTheWitch Jul 2013 #68

This is just ridiculous. tallahasseedem Jul 2013 #16

I know ..... I've always thought that was one of the most pathetic polly7 Jul 2013 #19

Hear hear. A pathetic lie if there ever was one. lumpy Jul 2013 #48

Ya, much to the chagrin of the Zim defenders here Rex Jul 2013 #21

The funny thing is Boudica the Lyoness Jul 2013 #22

true. Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 #23

It's B movie, 1950's dialog, okay? Th1onein Jul 2013 #55

Zim said that, or his father? HooptieWagon Jul 2013 #26

it was recordings of police interviews of the accused, George Zimmerman Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 #30

ah, ok. I thought it was interview Zimdad gave to media... HooptieWagon Jul 2013 #34

Agreed. Further, while the autopsy and expert testimony says Martin was alive and possibly conscious magical thyme Jul 2013 #28

I highly, highly doubt he was able to vocalize anything clearly. polly7 Jul 2013 #41

Looks like Martins dying 'confessional' statements lumpy Jul 2013 #50

Thanks for the post. Illuminating. lumpy Jul 2013 #49

You can not speak with 2 collapsed lungs. There is no way to push air out to speak if the lungs are uppityperson Jul 2013 #53

I expect that's true if they are fully collapsed. But with a partial collapse, you can speak magical thyme Jul 2013 #65

Why don't you keep guessing, and tell us how long it took for the lung to collapse Hooray for Pepe Jul 2013 #58

turns out there was a recording. what he actually said was Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 #61

reporting the autopsy is not guessing. His lungs may or may not have collapsed instantly magical thyme Jul 2013 #64

+++++ uppityperson Jul 2013 #66

Zimmerman must be a fan of the movie Used Cars ... ThePhilosopher04 Jul 2013 #31

He reminds me of a Travis Bickle type, Tanuki Jul 2013 #38

The LIE is in the fact that Z ALSO claims NOT to have known IF TRAYVON WAS HIT. WinkyDink Jul 2013 #43

It's sick how he had to make up so much. like how Trayvon ended up Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 #44

I agree! Dang. So many "big" cases I've wondered about the Prosecutors! WinkyDink Jul 2013 #63

zimmerman, sociopath, is trying to say Trayvon admitted guilt noiretextatique Jul 2013 #46

Yes. part of Zimmerman's cover up story. lumpy Jul 2013 #51

yep yep. I hadn't even thought of the "dying confession" angle. truly a scumbag, that Z Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 #56

ITA--that goes under the "They wouldn't do that" heading. nt raccoon Jul 2013 #57

not really sure what your post means. Pretzel_Warrior Jul 2013 #59

I believe that billh58 Jul 2013 #60
