I wholeheartedly agree. Hamilton Jay is following the erroneous story line.

Zimmerman’s actions, like it or not, had a direct inpact on the events that followed. He cannot claim pure victim here.

He certainly CAN claim pure victim UNLESS he initiated physical contact.

Where is there ANY evidence that Zimmerman INITIATED physical contact?

Keep in mind that following someone, calling 911 to have the police come investigate that person, and talking to someone even in an accusatory tone do NOT amount to initiating physical contact.

So tell us, wise one, why wasn’t he charged when it happened. I guess the Sanford Police just don’t like blacks. You have absolutely no clue what happened. I hope people like you do not find their way onto the jury.

How the hell do you know Bondi was involved? I read Scott appointed Corey to look at this after the other prosecutor bowed out.

I’m as pro second ammendment as you can get, but your right to carry doesn’t mean you have the right to be an abject idiot

I wholeheartedly agree. The second amendment says nothing about the right to being an idiot.

"I’m as pro second ammendment as you can get, but your right to carry doesn’t mean you have the right to be an abject idiot, just because you are carrying. Zimmerman ensured this situation the minute he got out of his car and decided to hunt down the kid on his own."

Nice work! You managed to fit all the left's talking points into just two sentences.

The pro second amendment qualifier was particularly well placed in conjunction with your ad-hominem attack on concealed carry.

End of the day, Zimmerman engaged in actions that lead to the shooting, not only did he do so, he did so after repeated advice not to...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you work for NBC. Cause just like they edited stuff, you are making it up.

911 TRANSCRIPT:

911 dispatcher: Are you following him?
Zimmerman: Yeah.

911 dispatcher: OK. We don’t need you to do that.

Zimmerman: OK.

And per the police. What does Zimmerman do next? HE STOPS FOLLOWING MARTIN.

He retreats back to his SUV. But he gets ambushed by Martin.

“How how can a fair jury ever be selected in this case, after the MSM has so tainted the jury pool with its lies, distortions, and omissions of the facts from the presentation of this story?”

Worth noting is that Zimmerman can waive his right to a trial by jury, and request that the case be heard and decided solely by a judge.

Might be an option for his lawyers, depending on whom is chosen to adjudicate the case.

I hope that the prosecutor is fully aware what damages an arrest will have on Zimmerman’s future employment opportunities.

Seriously, do you think she gives a rats a@@?

The only job resume she's looking out for is her own, there is no honor among prosecutors...think Nifong, Holder, Reno, et al.

I don't mean to be snarky but these people could give a damn about justice, it's all about politics and staying in office, it has been for a loooong time.
