"Or will the gun culture rationalize social fear as an acceptable defense?"

Hey; if you're a white guy, try walking through Deetroit at midnite without a weapon....we'll see who's got "social fear".....

This dude thinks too much, and is sadly not capable of it.

When a thug jumps you, pounds your head against a concrete sidewalk while saying he’s going to kill you, then tries to grab your gun to shoot you..it’s not “social fear” to think your life is endangered.

Finding and convincing a jury in Florida to go against the law...

That's the prosecution's only hope.

Typical liberal BS artist Journalist.

I call him journalist not because he is one, but because in these times all journalists are lying SOB’s.

“That is largely because the system is set up to fail us. The biases are built in the system, otherwise Blacks wouldn’t be disproportionately convicted...”

Ummm...half of all murder victims are black, and here is a hint: it isn’t whitey entering the hood and shooting blacks! Roughly 3% of the US population (black males 16-40) kill half of the people murdered in the US - and it is their fellow blacks.

Explain THAT one, Samad!

Trayvon wasn’t murdered. He was prevented from murdering
Zimmerman by the use of a legally carried firearm. All the race bating in the world can’t change that fact.

“Justice for Trayvon” should consist of him staying covered in dirt and Zimmmerman walking out of court an exonerated man.

Here it is, ladies and gentlemen - the liberal mind on parade. Nothing factual, just inferences upon inferences, and emotionally charged thinking masquerading as reasoning.

“Stand your ground” applies when you have the means to escape, but instead, um, stand your ground. George Zimmerman wasn’t standing his ground. He apparently could not escape, because he was pinned to the ground getting his head slammed into the concrete.

The disgusting sack of mostly water that wrote this piece should be relieved of his writing implement and banished to the Horsehead Nebula forthwith.

He is a disgusting, lying liberal.

If Zimmerman had not been armed he would have been beaten to death and the “black guy in a hoodie” would have gotten away with it.

Will Trayvon’s death be vindicated? Or will the gun culture rationalize social fear as an acceptable defense?

Will Trayvon be exposed as a thug who was casing a neighborhood looking for an open bathroom window so he could steal the Robitussin he needed as the final ingredient for his batch of "lean", having already braved the rain to procure the other ingredients, Skittles and Arizona Watermelon Tea?

No doubt Trayvon was just offering to share his Skittles with Zimmerman. Yeah, that’s the ticket!

What a pile of cr#p.

That is not reporting. That is racial propaganda.

Not a peep about what is really on Trial. An American citizen was charged by manufactured evidence while real evidence of innocence was ignored purposefully by a judge and prosecutor for the purposes of creating a manufactured propaganda play. It is a show trial worse than Gary Francis Powers. In America. What the heck?

Is there enough evidence to show that Zimmerman acted in self-defense or not? That’s the only real issue. Vigilante justice has nothing to do with it.

2ndDivisionVet ~: ( from the article) “ In the Trayvon Martin case, George Zimmerman is poised to beat the system. Why do I say this? Because everybody and everything will be on trial, except George Zimmerman.
The stand your ground law is going to be put on trial, and the whole nation is watching “

What is right :” ..Because everybody and everything will be on trial, except George Zimmerman.”
What is WRONG : “.. The stand your ground law is going to be put on trial “

Zimmerman’s defense lawyers purposely did NOT pursue “stand your ground” law . They opted out !
What is being defended is the ability to defend yourself against intent to be killed .
The defense team has chosen self-defense

Zimmerman defended himself....this trial is just a Black Ku Klux Klan lynching

If Trayvon Martin was white....Zimmerman would never have been charged

The man plays on a lot of personal suppositions but misses the truth.

Our Justice system was set up with the premise that it is better to let a guilty man go than to unjustly convict an innocent man. IOW, Zimmerman should not be in any danger of being convicted with the circumstances as they are. He is being railroaded by folks such as the "author" of this hit piece putting their emotional spins on it.

I was "perturbed" when OJ got off, but I'd much rather have a 1,000 of him running free than to have one George Zimmerman convicted.
