Looks like the race pimps and the Lynch Mob Media are going to get their way on this.
Thank you, 0baMao, for re-igniting racism in America!

From what I’ve read, he can’t be charged with First Degree Murder or face the death penalty without a Grand Jury. So, this will not satisfy Trayvon’s supporters.

We don’t need jury nullification in this case, just a fair and impartial jury that listens to the facts and properly applies the law.

I can hear the champagne corks popping in the NBC, ABC, and NY Times news rooms right now.

THIS WILL BE THE FRONT PAGE NEWS STORY FROM NOW UNTIL THE ELECTION, WITH PROTESTORS IN THE STREETS ALONG WITH THE OCCUPY LOSERS UNTIL OBAMA WINS THE ELECTION. IT’S ALL A PLAN.

It will be interesting to see what the actual charge is, then.

To all those who have been clamoring for an end to the prejudgement by the media so the system could do it’s job, now would be a good time to heed your own advice.

Now the Martins can sue the HOA and the city of Sanford based on Florida law. It’s about the money! Believe me! Doesn’t require a conviction, merely an arrest.

“Charged with what offense???”

For defending himself against a Black attacker. Doing so is racist and a Federal offense now. Didn’t ya know?

If, repeat if, the special prosecutor is not in possession of evidence which is not now in the public domain but is reacting to public pressure, this is an egregious miscarriage of justice.

"Enjoy the riots after he is found not guilty."

Yeah... if the idea behind this is to appease the masses they better be able to get a conviction because if not this will be way worse than not charging him in the first place. Because you know the Lame Stream Media will cover this 24/7 and ramp-up the story.

Frankly, this does not surprised. I think the state of FL was warned to press charges OR the feds will step in and press charges themselves.
