No and we might never. But when an armed adult follows an unarmed child against the advice of the cops and that child ends up dead there ought to be an arrest. This is totally bizarre really. I'm not saying Zimmerman is guilty, I don't know, but there is not much plausibility to a self-defense argument. We at least know that the armed guy could have avoided the whole situation but listening to the police.

That's why we use our brains to figure things out instead of being butt-f**king morons who claim that nobody can ever figure out anything.

If I recall my English terminology, that's a word that hasn't seen common use in this century. For example, "Tell your goons to lay off." It sounds like something out of a 1950s police drama and not something you say in 2012. . . .
I believe that's the informal reference. Besides, it's splitting hairs now. Pretty obvious the context was not 'goons' but something that rhymed with it.

Huh? Just because it's not used in your speech community doesn't mean that it isn't a word in play. I don't hear it every day in southeast Michigan, but I don't know anybody who would either be surprised by the word or be uncertain of its meaning. It's used often enough.
More importantly, whether he actually said "coons" or "goons," his defense will be that he said "goons," and your dainty little ears aren't going to be enough to fulfill the burden of proof on the prosecution.

start a hockey conversation with someone, even someone with limited hockey knowledge will know what a goon is.
ask someone about lets say the Bruins, or the Flyers...
while they are not common these days, it is a common term.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.

Not even the idiot hick racists use the word "coon" down here. They'll drop the n word, they will call blacks monkeys or apes, but coon hasn't been used since the 60's. The last time I heard the term "coon" was in a movie.
