Filed in the same mental folder as the pics of Palestinians dancing in the streets after 9-11.
Facts mean nothing in this case, Ray.
If Obama were smart, he’d simply act righteously. He would declare GZ not only not guilty, but innocent, reward him, then chastise all the black racist leaders who drag him down nationally and internationally.
In one swing, he would likely secure his re-election, gain historical precedence, and glean respect from the majority of people who simply identify unrighteousness and seek justice.
Muslims would hate him, but would change to follow him because it would be a righteous decision. Those who seek justice would admire him standing up to some older African American racist blowhards whose time has come to fade into the background.
Then again, there is a mystery of iniquity which I do not understand.
You're presuming that it's even possible for him to act righteously.
Your comments are most interesting in “where we go from here”. These points of law are going to run smack into the face of the “baiters”, LSM, and the left.
Regardless which side writes our history books, Trayvon Martin might be America’s Archduke Ferdinand.
Mr. Frazier is late to the party.
I already predicted this a while ago, right here on FR:

Re: Six Jurors
I haven’t lived in Florida for many years.
When I did, manslaughter and murder cases ALWAYS required 12 jurors, not 6.
Re: Six Jurors Is Correct
I just checked reports on the very recent John Goodman DUI manslaughter trial in Palm Beach.
Six jurors.
Goodman founded the local polo club and was a well known Palm Beach socialite.
Your suggestion that the hearing that would lead to a dismissal (the immunity hearing) should come before the bond hearing makes no sense. That’s impossible. The fastest way to get GZ out is to bond him out.
No thanks to you I do see why the bond hearing should come first now. But he would be out of jail and never go back for anything if the case had been dismissed wouldn’t he?
I had never seen that. Painfully stark.
I think at this point in time, a comprimise is in order. Zimmerman gets probation and the Martin family gets to keep their dead burglar son’s stolen loot. Everyone wins!
Having done that I amend my last sentence.
"The only consideration here is to what extent the MSM and race baiters can threaten the area/nation with whip the area/nation into chaos and rioting if charges are dismissed. That threat is really the only real question here. Trust me. ;-)"
For the record, I think it could be a long, hot summer.
Re: Whites In The South
This is a tip off that the author of the article is not familiar with Florida.
The “Old South” in Florida is confined to the Panhandle and the I-10 corridor.
South of Orlando, almost all whites are transplants from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the Midwest.
Moving the trial to Southeast Florida might be a catastrophic error for Zimmerman.
“White” jurors there will be heavily Northeastern and Jewish Democrats.
On the other hand, Hispanics in South Florida will be heavily Cuban Republicans, which might weigh in Zimmerman’s favor.
All of them, I believe, at the federal level.
Well, I’m pretty sure if a prospective juror just wants to make his decision on the facts, the prosecution will try to strike him “for cause...”
Has there been an arraignment?
Has Mr. Zimmerman entered a plea?
This whole thing will probably get kicked out at pre-trial. There is not one speck of evidence that the man committed a crime.
