The 7-11 bag that contained the fruit drink was on the sidewalk where the confrontation started. Now this is only my opinion. Martin took the drink from the bag. Now he has two weapons. A cell phone and a drink can. I think the hit on the nose was a cell phone. Notice the marks. The bruise on his right forehead was the drink can. Notice the crescent mark of the bruise.
That's pretty much how I saw it. Trayvon Martin left his father's property to pursue George Zimmerman. He became the Hunter. Got what he deserved.
Consider Obama's facial expressions towards Romney in the debates. Anybody could see him muttering "Creepy ass cracker" under his breath.
Thanks for the link to the article and the ABC video segment. Problem with Dan Abrams' prognostication is that he doesn't realize how radicalized the Obama-Holder Justice Dept. is, especially the Civil Rights Division.
"They won't win and they know that."? Depends a lot on the judge or judges. And by now, all too many of the federal judges are Obama or Clinton appointees, ever at the ready to do the bidding of the "civil rights" establishment. Hard to find judges today who will fully support an individual's use of self defense with a gun against even life-threatening physical violence.
“But this might not be the final verdict, since there is chatter on the Left of federal “civil rights” charges against Zimmerman and a civil “wrongful death” suit against him.”
...the chatter coming direct from the misnamed DOJ, that Federal charges are pending.
“Depends a lot on the judge or judges.”
He’s already taking that into consideration when he makes that statement. Any conviction would be appealed anyways. It’s going nowhere.
It’s all the same bluster just like after the Newtown attack, the politicians are getting media recognition for inflaming raw emotions.
It just won’t happen. There is no ABSOLUTELY no case. Obama is taking such a hit on this already..Like he cares....But Jesse etal knows it won’t happen. They just have to make noise...like preachers...goal...send money!! Keep the natives aroused.
Their destruction of the public education system HAS NOT made you safe.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Government education is not destroyed. It is performing **exactly** as the progressives of the mid-1800s planned. It is producing godless socialist drones that are as minimally educated as necessary to be a cog in the government machine. It’s taken 150 years of the progs’ constantly pushing at the edges of societal tolerance but they have arrived.
Children who attend socialist-entitlement K-12 schooling risk learning that the voting mob that gives them tuition-free schooling is powerful enough to give them LOTS of “free” stuff.
Children who attend godless schools **will** learn to think and reason godlessly. They must just to cooperate in the godless classroom. How could it be otherwise?
#18 is an excellent post and well worth the time to read it.

The blunt(s) that M may have had were not amongst his items found on the fight scene. It has been theorized that he perhaps toked up a blunt and smoked it on the way home. Another theory is that he hid his screwdriver/burglary tool in the buses near the fight scene on his first trip through. A further explanation suggests that he did go to his father's fiancee's residence, got rid of contraband there, then headed bac kto retrieve hos screwdriver, but ran into Z at the jucnture of his first track and Z's furthest advance. But now, it is simply a trail of fairy dust, which no one can ever know.
But it's over. The bottom line is that a citizen lawfully carrying a handgun effectively used it to thwart an unexpected criminal assault by an angry youth in the midst of the youth's attack.
Regardless of the reasons for the outcome, the youth deliberately initiated a murderous attack far beyond a mere confrontation. This is the central fact that must be asserted again and again, until the meme of "Z followed him" is submerged as not justifying a physical assault.
I'm guessing you meant "mid-1900s". The rest of your post is spot on.
You don’t find justice. It finds you.
They don’t NEED to win. They just need to keep the trial pending or going through 2014 elections.
Late-1800s, early 1900s. Woodrow Wilson’s administration led the way to turning schools into re-education camps.
It found Treyvon Martin that night when he was brutally beating Zimmerman.
It found Zimmerman yesterday...at least for a start, because with Holder in as AG, it ain’t over.
That’s exactly right.
PING!
Socialist-entitlement K-12 schooling was a progressive idea from the beginning. Teacher training and curriculum development haas **always** been controlled by progressives. Progressives have always been pushing for greater and greater centralization. Progressives have always been pushing the envelope of society's moral boundaries.
The progressives that brought us compulsory state controlled schooling in the mid-1800s to early 1900s would be thrilled to see the fruits of their labors, today.
Government owned and run socialist-entitlement K-12 schooling has always been evil.
