I guess Earl was busy putting this screed together and didn't hear the news that Mr. Zimmerman is black:

George Zimmerman Has ‘Black Roots’ http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2876518/posts

If Zimmerman has a fair judge, there will be no jury.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Since we’re paying so much attention to race these days, maybe they should fly in some Australian Aboriginals just to make sure everyone is equally represented in the trial.

[BigCinBigD]

I hope he does. I would love to see Detroit burn to the ground live on FOX.

[The KG9 Kid]

I notice that Earl Ofari Hutchinson has finally taken someone’s advice and got rid of his annoying little African cap and started wearing a tie regularly.

[rawcatslyentist]

What if he gets a Latino jury?

[volunbeer]

The left will win no matter what.

Conviction - proves their convictions about racism.

Acquittal - proves their convictions about racism.

Dismissal - proves their convictions about racism.

Riots to follow. The riots will prove their convictions about racism.

Like it or not, the left defines the public debate in this country and most have been conditioned to accept it. How else can you explain how so many have decided this case absent the evidence or facts? How else would you explain the “gravitas” so many assign to Sharpton and Jackson? Men who accomplish nothing beyond advancing themselves!

The stated goals of the original civil rights leaders were achieved, but the left hijacked the movement to consolidate and gain power. It’s all about ideology and has little to do with justice.

Ain’t gonna a jury. it will get tossed for lack of merit.

Seminole County (Sanford’s county) is 11% black - http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/12/12117.html

[I see my hands]

"What if Zimmerman gets an all white jury?"

Then the facts, law, and fear will dictate their decision.

What if Zimmerman gets an all black jury?

[citizencon]

What if they all have the mentality of Roseanne Barr?

[Berlin_Freeper]

Inmate brags about living better in jail than when he was free.

[monocle]

Is the author suggesting that non-whites are better at ascertaining the truth? Foolish me - I always thought the purpose of any trial was to seek the truth.

We are in the process in this country of “enfranchising” a special rights minority. The Civil Rights Act began the process. The real disenfranchised population and the real minority is the population of white males in America, which has no special statutory protections or any type of “victim” status, because it has been deemed by generations of self- flagellating liberals to be the “oppressor”. America is on its way to being ruled by the twelve percent. This will be the final “reparations” payment. Handing over the reins of authority. The DOJ has sent the signal that black crime and the Black Panthers will not be prosecuted. But that any attack upon a black by a white is ipso facto a “hate crime” and you will be prosecuted for that. If you are a white male you will no longer be allowed to defend yourself in the event you are attacked by a Black. The media refuses to report black on white crime and only reports the reverse, when it occurs as a statistical rarity. We are on our way to becoming South Africa. The chickens are coming home to roost and no jury in America will besmirch Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman is toast because the elites are fearful of a race riot. The fix is already in. And the elites know whites don’t riot. Just like the phony OJ verdict. It kept the buildings from burning. Riot insurance. All the testosterone is on the other side. Has the media mentioned anything recently about the ongoing investigation into the attack, rape and subsequent murder of those two white octogenarians (husband and wife) by a 25-year-old black assailant named Woodfork? Why is that horrendous crime being covered up and ignored by all of the commentators on Fox and all the other networks?

[Happy Rain]

If there is a jury it may indeed be all white. If any prospective black juror is asked if he or she believes George is without a doubt guilty as Hell, they will have to say Hell yes or they will be ostracized by the black community...it's like the OJ thing, if you are black you HAVE to say in public that he is innocent even though you are admitting to being a stupidhead by saying so.

[Reagan69]

A jury of his peers !

Of course, doctors don’t get fair trials in med mal cases with the right of a jury of their peers.

[SampleMan]

Hispanic shoots black and gets tried by whites?

Sounds neutral to me. Seriously though, I resent the hell out of the notion that whites are de facto racists.

[RegulatorCountry]

Impanel a jury consisting entirely of Seminole. Remove the whole black/white dynamic from the picture. They're the closest thing you're going to find to his peers there, being native and mixed. Fairly conservative on some matters, too, they've refused to play the mascot grievance game and are quite proud for Florida State to bear their name as a mascot.

[6SJ7]

The idiot writing this article seems to have an underlying concern that Zimmerman might “escape” being made a sacrifice to “racial justice”. To that end the author is obviously willing to toss out legal procedures such as preemptory challenges all for the sake of “diversity”... when it suits his purpose.

[SaraJohnson]

Unless Zimmerman is railroaded into a conviction for second degree murder by a stacked jury, Obama’s unleashed racists are going to do violence against their race enemy - whites, and the country they hate - America.

[Mycroft Holmes]

With 11% of the jury pool black and a random selection of six jurors, the probability of a non-black jury is 0.497, or about half the time. With 12 jurors it's 0.247, or about a quarter of the time.

Of course, the beauty of these pure numbers will be sullied by politics.
