I guess Trayvon found his limit.

If I were him I’d be suing the black panthers, Sharpton, Jackson and some in the MSM who ignored the facts and were quick to condemn our FL laws , the justice system and Zimmerman.

Shame on those Hispanic groups here who have not come out to demand that Zimmerman have his due process and denounce these race baiters.

Also I’d be going after the DOJ for ignoring this hate, Holder for not doing something AGAIN about these black racists and I;d be asking if anything can be done about obama, even when he gets out of office.

“Their job is not to determine guilt or innocence, remember.”

Ideally, but in fact the police have the means to suppress or fabricate evidence if they choose to, and thus determine the outcome of a trial or even determine if a trial takes place. This is why police officers are required to testify in court like any other witness, as opposed to just taking the evidence and their statements at face value.

I am hoping for La Raza to get involved in this.

I wonder if there will be a massive ‘scrubbing’ of website articles once the truth comes out.

"Just waiting for any Leftist FReepers to chime in with their baseless accusations!"

The thread is young, just a baby.
Give it time they will flame away with their bile. Guaranteed.
If they flame me they will be flaming a empty bucket.
I have read all I can stand on this subject.
Once Jessie & Al got in the truth went out the window and the LSM fanned the flames and stirred up a hornets nest with little or no evidence.

Is Zimmerman a public figure? Can he sue people (Sharpton) for stating that he is a racist murderer?

He sure can. In fact, because he's not a public figure, he is spared the necessity of proving malicious intent, which is the high legal bar set for most libel cases. When this is over, he can go to town on all of them, whoever has the deepest pockets.

I hope he does better than Richard Jewell, who got bupkis after being falsely convicted in the press of being the Olympic bomber in Atlanta.

You mention Sharpton. I don't think he ever paid off the settlement to the NYPD cops he libeled in the Brawley case.

Probably. But there is plenty to draw from in printed AP-generated pieces.

Should Rick Santorum be included in that list, too?

He has a defense. He said he didn't know the facts. So, everything following ends up being nothing more than a demonstration of his lack of good judgment.

Well, obviously the police are racist and have been planning this for years.

The special prosecutor, appointed by the gubbernor Scott is black.

What if she ends up agreeing with the Sanford cops and doesn't press charges?

The black/black panthers will invade Disney World and kill all the little white kids.

what this has shown besides the obvious like obama, race baiters and a wanna be gangster is that we have some freepers who came on here right away attacking Zimmerman and saying he was guilty and it also shows that we have those same freepers which I would never want on my jury or that they are taken in by the MSM even knowing that the MSM is left wing.

First off who is this "wanna-be" gangster you are referring to? And if you want to discuss "wannabe's" perhaps you need to include Zimmerman in the "wannabe" group as he has exhibited all the signs of being a "wannabe" cop.

Still one question remains unanswered: Why did Zimmerman leave his truck to follow or otherwise confront Martin? Wasn't Zimmerman WARNED not to follow Martin by the police dispatcher? Why did Zimmerman choose not to take that advice?

The case seems to be easy to make that had Zimmerman just WATCHED instead of choosing to pursue Martin the gun play would never have occurred?

Your response please

All jokes aside, be very careful for the next few weeks. Be aware of your surroundings.

The baiters are using this.

D’OH!!!!

Is anyone else flashing back to the Sturm & Drang whipped up by the media, poverty pimps and race hustlers before the Duke Lacrosse case went down in Nifong flames?

The Panthers and inner city youths will riot not matter what. Even if Zimmerman may be only be charged with discharging a firearm in a residential area.

Looks like the pictures you posted are of the wrong kid. Why are you failing to post accurate pictures like these?

Next time do better research

For starters, lets take down the “baby” pictures of Trayvon.
And then let’s listen to the eye-witness account. This Trayvon character is a thug...now he’s a dead thug.

As I said last week, 'If there is new information that will make me change my mind, I'll say I was wrong.' This is it. Last week, I thought Martin was innocent, now, when Zimmerman said that Martin attacked him, now I'll say that Martin is wrong and so is Zimmerman. (911 told Zimmerman not to follow him, but he did).

If Treyvon was my son, (he would have a normal name) if he was suspended from school, his cell phone would be off and him walking around would not be happening.
