I think the Hispanics may burn and loot over this travesty.

Just my guess he will be charged with using excessive force in the altercation, but that none of the nonsense about hunting or attacking Martin will be included.

I think the issue of firing and killing Martin in self defense is a close call under the reported facts.

Zimmerman had gotten off the concrete and into the grass. Police were on the way. Zimmerman claim Martin threatened his life is a wild card, because Zimmerman was able to reach and fire his pistol, indicating he was not completely overpowered.

But I wasn’t there.

Just another excuse to put a Hispanic in jail.

One- The physical evidence, the eye witness evidence, the tapes, the time line all support Mr. Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense and this will be more an more apparent as time goes on. (If there was evidence contradicting Mr. Zimmerman’s story he would have been arrested right at the beginning or it would certainly have been leaked by now.

Two- Despite enormous outside pressure from media and the demonstrators(lynch mob) outside the courthouse, they will not get 12 people to totally ignore the evidence and convict.

Three- The failure to convict along with the media and the race baiters throwing gas on the fire, will result in a dozen riots in major cities as bad as or worse than the LA Rodney King riots.

Four-This cowardly dishonest prosecutor’s actions will be directly responsible for a massive arson destruction and 100+ deaths in those riots.

BONUS Prediction- The Asian and Middle Eastern inner city business owners will be fully armed and will defend their business with lethal force. To protect their neighborhoods, Militia like groups of armed citizens will confront the rioters

There was an eye witness who saw the entire thing go down, he said he saw Trayvon on TOP of Zimmerman..he was interviewed THAT NIGHT..not days later, the night of the incident, this is an open and shut case..blown out of proportion by the media so they can distract the public from Obama’s FAILURE as a President and as a human being. This is disgusting, self defense is used every single day but the left saw this as an opportunity to draw out the black voters needed in Florida to win..if Florida were NOT a swing state they wouldn’t give a damn

The gun shop has a retractable roof that is stuck in the open position.

They need to have an “All Asian” jury, methinks.

Trial? Why even bother.

We’ve got the mob now — only THEY can and will make the decision on this case.

Or any case, for that matter.

Look also for criminals once held to now go free.

And for YOU to not be able to defend yourselves against them.

We are TOAST, folks. Sorry.

Obama’s Reign of Terror has begun.

This is too funny. Former race-baiter, democrat Hispanic George Zimmerman is railroaded by race-baiting black Liberals. What goes around comes around! This whole thing could backfire on O’blamer. What if it turns into a race war between Holder’s people and Geraldo’s people? Grab some pop corn and ammo, it’s going to be an interesting summer!

Oh I’m sure “new witnesses” came forward in the last few weeks to make Zimmerman guilty of something.

Latinos aren’t going to take this laying down, they are messing with the wrong ethnic minority.

There is an equal amount of evidence to say that the attack on Zimmerman was a hate crime. Zimmerman is Latino and was attacked because of his race.

Yes, I know there is zero evidence, well, I said there was equal evidence....I said what I meant.

Yes, that is the obvious action. However, if non public forensic evidence counters Zimmerman’s statements and account, then he has a problem.

It depends on where they put him and if he is allowed to bond out. But he needs a lawyer with some serious mojo at this point.

One thing for sure is that if charges are announced and he hasn’t already been taken in, arraigned, bonded out in secret and then again moved to a secret location, the NBP bounty puts him in even more serious danger.

Bounty hunters haven’t bothered yet because there are no charges and no arrest warrant. Once there is, there will be a mad scramble.

I also have no reason to believe that WAPO has an inside line into what is really going on. They could just be making stuff up to get hits to sell ad space in order to generate revenue.

She has to have a grand jury for a murder/manslaughter indictment.

Yep, then the Asians, Hispanics, and Holder’s people can all go at when he’s aquitted.
