Rick Santorum is basically saying: "The police acted stupidly".

I'm trying to get the guy who says that crap OUT of the White House. I do not want to see Santorum go INTO the White House.

Newt Gingrich says Zimmerman chose a dangerous hobby and that he stepped outside the law.

And Obama said "Let's not come to any conclusions"...

Oops..sorry...that was Ft. Hood & Hasan the Muzzie.

Wow, Santorum’s “the cops acted stupidly” moment...

Not only a witness states that Zimmerman was being attacked, what about the fact that the “innocent victim’s” lawyer has moved to block release of his school records. Appears that Trayvon was suspend from school for 5 days, which was why he was hanging out in another neighborhood far from where he lived.

And one does not get a 5 day suspension from school for not completing his homework...

“Well, ‘Stand Your Ground’ is not doing what this man did,” Santorum said Friday morning at a campaign event in Monroe, La. “There’s a difference between ‘Stand Your Ground’ and doing what he did. And it’s a horrible case. It’s chilling to hear what happened, and of course the fact that law enforcement didn’t immediately go after and prosecute this case is another chilling example of horrible decisions made by people in this process.”

I’m disappointed in Rick. He’s been in politics too long to make this kind of mistake and should know better. Zimmerman wasn’t arrested after the first investigation and now another one is taking place. A grand jury is being convened, so he should shut up or at least not fall for the race-baiter’s bait.

Santorum is now joining the leaders of the lynch mob. The presumption of innocence is designed to protect people from the likes of Santorum.

These politicians are despicable; Santorum, Jeb Bush, even Gingrich are all sticking their freaking noses in it. If that's a repeat of yesterday's show, you'll also hear Romney. To his credit he did not convict & hang Zimmerman.

These are our choices... pathetic.

Oh boy. I think Rick just blew his foot off at the ankle.

The whole Trayvon thing is starting to implode in so many ways...

Sigh... if he had kept quiet one more day...

Good Lord Almighty, what an irresponsibly dangerous thing to say.

Santorum has just removed himself from any consideration for higher office. He clearly does not have the temperament.

The Police arrived, saw a bloodied Zimmerman and could not think of anything to charge him with.

The media conveniently left out that Trayvon was not a “YOUNG BOY” but a 6’2 football player.

I just don’t know what the prosecutor can charge G.Z with at this point.

Public figures like shoot from the lip Santorum and even Allen West are inflaming this situation and inflamed tensions only serves the divider in chief.

I have yet to see a single sign of leadership from Santorum that allows me to conclude he has true leadership ability.

Go Newt, go Perry, go Palin, go DeMint. They are the best we have in the arena right now.

Based on what is known about the incident, the guy needs to be prosecuted. You can’t chase someone down and then claim self defense.

It was self-defense, regardless of what the race-baiter in chief in the white hut or Al not so Sharpton or harelip Jackson have to say about it. I personally hope Zimmerman is cleared of all charges and that his legal expenses are paid for by the deceased’s family.

Does this remind anyone of Obama’s “Stupidly” remark that gave us the infamous “Beer Summit”?

Rick (Dead Baby) Santorum has to go.

As a former Prosecutor of 25 years I can say for sure we don’t know if it was a crime. I am a Santorum supporter and he clearly stepped over the line here.

I can also say for sure that the failure to investigate by taking Zimmerman into custody, running drug tests, questioning him, etc is ineptitude of the highest order. Had he wrecked his car he would have even gotten a blood test.

Unarmed kid is dead and they take Zimmerman at his word? In Fairfax County, VA they would have fired the lo of them. This is as bad as police work can possibly get.
