email to the wapo editorial board is letters@washpost.com. I've sent them this, this morning:

You clowns might want to take a look at what Alan Dershowitz has to say about the Martin/Zimmerman case this morning:

http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/drop-george-zimmerman-murder-charge-article-1.1080161

and then consider firing whoever is responsible for your own story on the rightmost column of your front page this morning. The question on people's minds this morning is, how could the wapo hope to profit from a serious race war, inquiring minds want to know.

Indeed, Mansfield Frazier, a columnist for the Daily Beast, has suggested that it is the responsibility of the legal system to “avert a large scale racial calamity.” He has urged Zimmerman’s defense lawyer to become a “savior” by brokering a deal to plead his client guilty to a crime that “has him back on the streets within this decade.”

Anybody else notice that the 9mm slug - fired at point blank range - never exited Martin's body?

Either the ammo was very reduced velocity or that K-Tel piece of junk has a larger than spec bore. I've never heard of 9mm Parabellum stopping in a body (or walls) before.

Blah! Sharpless and his minions NEVER let a riot go to waste. It’s in their blood. Never mind if there’s nothing to riot about. It’s about time that reputable black leaders with common sense (and I have to believe they’re out there) and prosecutors with a “pair” (and I have to believe they’re out there)to head off any threat of violence. Good luck to ‘em.

Apparently, a large portion of AAs persist in believing many self-serving fairy tales about this case, and many others (how they think black-on-black crime ever happens is a mystery). The way to avoid riots is to stop pandering, and start educating.

If Angela Corey values justice and public order, she needs to:
1) hold a series of press conferences and write news articles, presenting the real evidence;
2) explain the legalities of why Zimmerman’s actions were self-defense, not a crime;
3) explain why Sanford’s decision not to charge Z was logical, just, and proper;
4) request dismissal of all charges, with a clear explanation why;
5) coerce Crump, Sharpton, Jackson, et al., into admitting the truth publicly, and to “lead their people” away from violence inspired by their lies and manipulations.

Fat chance, since her actions to date serve injustice, ignorance, disorder, and political expediency. Perhaps she should copyright the slogan, “I am Nifong”.

From the pictures, the ammo looked like hollowpoint, not parabellum.

Parabellum is latin for 'for war', and the laws of land warfare outlaw hollowpoints. Full metal jacketed ammo is used for war.

Racist Holder will step in with a new Federal racial witch hunt to soothe the savage beast he unleashed on whitey.

I don’t thing Corey is stupid. I think she is doing what she was told to do. This is probably being handled as an election issue.
The trial will take a while to start, and run even longer. After 06 Nov, it will be dropped, and the charges, too.

I think Dershowitz got it exactly correct when he observed that the prosecutor's *real* mission here is to avoid large scale riots,a la Rodney King.

Angela Nifong Corey has TWO missions. She's trying to sacrifice an innocent man for what you said and she is also targeting the Stand Your Ground law. She made that pretty clear from the beginning.

I also agree with the other posters who said Angela Nifong Corey is getting her orders from Pam Bondi. Race riots in Florida would be very bad for Mitt. I wonder if she'll get the nom for VP...

Poor George. He's the sacrificial goat for so many worthless PsOS.

I wonder if they are trying to drag this out as long as possible simply hoping the momentum of the thing will drip out. In other words, they have no intention of “winning” the case and maybe intentionally want it thrown out. Just trying to buy time for things to settle down.

Not saying it is right, but to me these mistakes are way too obvious.

Angela Corey is not professional. She is a political climber. She saw the mood on the street and tried to make a name for herself by going along. If she had cited the evidence, she would not have been able to even charge him with anything. There is a reason the police let him go home with nothing. Little by little, you’re finding out why.

Um. While I'd love to defer to you on this, "parabellum"is a trade name for the 9 X 19 caliber as well as the 7.65 X 21 caliber, both developed by DWM in Germany. Came from the company motto "si vis pacem, parabellum" ("If you want peace, prepare for war").

Doesn't have anything to do with what kind of projectile the cartridge is loaded with...

Still have never seen even hollowpoints completely stop in a body at pointblank range!

Dershowitz is an appeals lawyer. It’s unimaginable, to me, that Zimmerman will need to appeal any verdict but if he does Dershowitz is the best.

He was one of OJ's lawyers. He mostly does appeals, but does also do others as well.

One thing we don’t need to worry about is Pam Bondi being nominated for VP.

AG might be possible, which would be wrong, but VP, never.

Please list the names of the FReepers who have actually stated that they are voting for Obama and not by omission either.

varmintman quoted the WP headline: "Martin was shot at close range"

I don't see cause for outrage due to the headline.

If the shooting happened as Zimmerman claimed, then "close range" would be practically a contact wound, with evidence of muzzle blast on Martin's skin and/or clothing.

If, on the other hand, the shooting had taken place at 20 feet, then Zimmerman would have some explaining to do.

The outrage is that they're going on with the BS after it's been totally debunked, i.e. they don't even care.

Funny how the race baiting libs forget that one must be guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and just inject their biases into what they "think" happened.

Funny only to folks that have a brain.

The others seem to have hairtrigger emotions that direct their lives.
