“Now is the time to go after the Rev. Al Sharpton. He is trying to incite a lynch mob after leading the Tawana Brawley hoax.”

Exactly! There are laws agains’t inciting riots.

“In the late 60’s and 70’s black would wear hoodies to show they were part of “The Black Klan”. It was the black version of the KKK.”

They wear them today to hide their face from security cameras. Kinda like a shirt with a ski mask attached.

“... black people who will vote for Obama come what may because he is black and leftist white people who would vote for Obama...”

Exactly like 2008, except he and the Negro Community are disrespecting the Latinos by calling them racists.
And more and more Caucasians are aware of the racist crimes and positions of the Liberal/Progressives.

The Internet will provide the information.

Again, that has nothng to do with the Zimmerman shooting. The shooting will help him. Enough? (Shrug)

A ten hoodie march on your polling place might make some of your neighbors decide they need to do something other than vote.

All I’m asking is, in Florida now, if under the same circumstances, he knocks you down and you shoot him, is that legal and proper use of “stand your ground”?


It could be said that Martin was standing his ground when he attacked Zimmerman. We don’t know everything that went down between them prior to Martin jumping Zimmerman. Did Zimmerman approach him in a threatening manner? You can not provoke someone to attack you so you can shoot them and call it self defense. That is like inviting someone over to the house and then shooting them for breaking and entering.

I do know that race has nothing to do with it beyond the reality that black thugs were commiting a lot of crime in the neighborhood which necessitated Zimmerman’s crime watching - at least, in his mind. The media, saturated in the hate doctrines of critical race theory, screwed the pooch when they took off with the liberal race hate meme thinking Zimmerman was white. They have made total racist asses of themselves, as usual.

If Florida can’t convict him, I bet the Federales will step in to convict him of “Civil Rights Violations” a la Rodney King.

Whatever happened to those cops?

Zimmerman is probably NOT guilty of any crime, but the “powers what is” will sacrifice him to avoid riots. Won’t work though. Time for new TVs...

Its not a good time to be living in urban areas...

That's mostly what it is because a lot of blacks don't know where it came from, but with a lot of blacks it is still an ongoing joke on whites.

White in a hood, hating blacks, not acceptable.

Black in a hood, hating whites, acceptable.

It is an in your face that blacks can openly show how much they hate whites and it is OK because whites will say nothing.

Many States do not allow common law. Colorado, for instance, banned it by statute in 1972.

They can and probably should refer the case to a grand jury and it would probably end up in a trial. But they can not sacrifice Zimmerman for political correctness and Black racist threats without the cooperation of a judge and jury.
The limo-liberal elitists don’t have total control over this one beyond contriving lies and smearing in the media. Zimmerman might end up turning the tables on them.

Liberal and Rinos will try to strip stand your ground legal protections from those who use a gun in self protection. They don’t like people being empowered to defend themselves and take out criminals.

I hope it gets that far (the truth), but I’m wondering if the mobs will even allow that.

The New Black Panthers came up with the poster. This has become a powderkeg. And its only Spring.

The Black Pampers aren't thinking this through...they are BADLY outnumbered. Remember that video from Texas...USA! USA! USA!

...and here is a little statistic for all of you, more people are beaten to death every year in the USofA than are shot to death...

Just ask Nancy Strait.

Blacks I’ve read online say Zimmerman deserved the “Ass kicking” for following TM. Zimmerman used the gun because he was a “punk.”

Also some statements there was a struggle for the gun.

The “John” witness saw TM on top of Zimmerman beating him. Zimmerman yelled for help.

The other witnesses showed up post shooting and saw Zimmerman over TM who was dying or dead by then.

Likely events were...

Zimmerman sees TM. Thinks he may be a thief. Calls cops. TM has hood up because of rain. TM tells girlfriend he’s being followed. Zimmerman loses sight of TM. Heads back to his truck but is confronted by TM who starts the fight and is on top of Zimmerman beating him. Zimmerman fires gun killing TM.

Zimmerman wrong for trying to play cop and following a potentially dangerous suspect.

TM wrong for turning it into a fight.

Cops could be sued for wrongful prosecution with a witness verifying Zimmerman was being beaten up. Grass stains on back of his jacket. Broken nose.

So cops sued if they charge and police chief fired for not arresting.

Hope this backfires on Rats with Hispanic vote in Florida.

Geraldo may be a nut in almost every way, but he was right about the hoodie. That is part of the gang uniform.

```````````````

agree that it is commonly thought to be that, but also point out two other famous hoodies

Rocky Balboa - look at the older movies.

The New Black Panthers came up with the poster. This has become a powderkeg. And its only Spring.

Then shut them down under the RICO Act. Publishing that poster is solicitation to commit murder. The previous attempt at voter intimidation demonstrates 'pattern of illegal behavior'. Rico Act applies, end of story...

Retreat. One basic disagreement in approach to the privilege of self-defense focuses on whether the defendant must retreat if he can do so without increasing his danger, rather than stand his ground and use force.

BZZZTTT!! Epic fail! Self defense is *not* a privelege *ESQUIRES*, it is a right!!

If these morons bothered to dust off, and consult their own bible "Blackstone's Law", they would discover the definition of the word "right" means "just and lawful claim". The very idea that self-defense is "a privelege" subverts common law as it has stood for centuries, and anyone who publicly espouses self-defense as a privelege has no business being a member of the bar, since they are actively trying to subvert that which they've sworn to uphold...

Don't be a Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton and presume guilt or innocence.

Great post. Word to the wise. Unfortunately, not a lot of 'wise' in our culture today.

Exactly. I live in Winter Park, about 15 minutes south of Sanford. It is very dangerous there for the most part.
