I read recently that the county is 87% white. I’m sure the defense attorneys are aware of this. I doubt they will be looking for a change in venue.

12 Hatties, that’s all it takes in the race baiting game we’re witnessing.

According to todays US News/MSNBC, Zimmerman is back to being white>

Zimmerman is white (still? again?)
“But after questions about possible racial motivation for the slaying – Martin was black; Zimmerman is a white man of Hispanic heritage – a special prosecutor took over the case and, on April 11, Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder.”

Rush mentioned this morning that Zimmerman actually does have a Black grandfather somewhere. So he’s definitely part Black and I always thought if someone was part Black, they were considered Black.

I know a girl whose grandfather was Hispanic and she went to college on a full scholarship for being Hispanic. So, why isn’t Zimmerman entitled to be called, “Black”?

Zimmerman’s mom is Hispanic from Peru and he is definitely part black from the grandfather, and all of that shows in his face.

It is amazing that the media is back to calling him “white”, especially in this context of a potential for black rioting and violence, a lot of violence in the name of Trayvon has already been happening nationally.

Did you mean to post an image with that?

The white population for the US stands at 72.4%. Seminole County, where Sanford is, is 11.4% black.

The "media" telling us what the "media" is not telling us?

Who writes these headers?

And yes, the 'case' against Mr. Zimmerman is unraveling; but far too many people have such powerful vested interests in this that they will keep re-weaving it back together.
Sad for Mr. Zimmerman and his family...and sad for the U.S.A.

I had to laugh when one was accusing the other of being "paid" to post there by Zimmerman's family.

"Paid right-wing trolls." LOL. I see that accusation made all the time on lefty forums and blogs, and even on the forums up at CNN. It's laughable, but I think some of them actually believe that we are on the Koch Brothers payroll. In my dreams!

I believe such nonsense is an extension of the condescending lefty fantasy that "conservatives are simply ignorant: an educated person could not believe as they do." We aren't sincere actors. A big, mean, rich corporation is paying us to shill for them. At heart we are just easily-led uneducated doofusses.

Well, another Black on Black crime just wouldn’t serve the race baiter’s agenda, but the Zimmerman - Martin thing was definitely Black on Black.

“I hope this case does not come down to “how long does it take you to prepare your grits”.”

Everyone in the ‘grit eating world’ knows that it takes 20 min for boiling water to soak into a grit.

That is if you like your grits regular rather then Al Dente.

I love that movie.

“Zimmerman had no authority to confront anyone IMO. Even if he was witnessing a theft, (or robbery or murder or child abduction or etc). . .”

This is not the UK where you are only allowed to stand by and watch as someone commits a crime.

In your world citizens are subjects and should meekly sit in their home and tremble in fear with 9-1-1 on speed dial. Okay, if that is what you want, I hope you let your neighbors know so they can sit by and watch you get robbed, beaten and even killed and do nothing. . .only observe as the thug walks away.

We should ALL be neighborhood watch members, looking out for our community and be willing to stand by our neighbors in time of need.

It is not sad a thug is dead. It is sad a good man is being harassed and life threatened for seeing a thug and reporting thugs suspicious behavior.

It is a good thing the thug is dead as the violent thuggish nature of the thug has already resulted in other assaults (like assaulting his bus driver), burglary (suspended from school for having drugs and burglary tools and having a lot of women’s jewelry in his backpack). It was only a matter of time before he would murder someone and given the events of the evening and the injuries on Z, it looks like he was well on his way to murder Z.

Maybe you want to bet your life some thug will not kill you when he is beating the life out of you. Most do not and will defend themselves.

A dispatcher is NOT a police officer and has no authority to make you do anything. Nothing at all. Besides, when he heard the suggestion he replied “okay” and began his trek back to his vehicle and was attacked by the thug with no soul.

He did not “intentionally confront,” as you put it. He lost sight and was heading back to his vehicle. Where you get this intentionally confront nonsense from, who knows. What we do know is common sense is not a strong point in your post attempting to justify the thug attacking Z.
