SANFORD, Fla.

The question is, why was it made such a huge news story? The arrest of Mrs. Zimmerman may backfire on the prosecutor.

[Joe Brower]

This whole article reads as a tactic admission by the leftmedia that their propaganda campaign was less effective than they had hoped.

Florida Freeper

[Buckeye McFrog]

wow, and this after the guy revealed himself to be less than 100% truthful with the bail flap.

Not good for the Obama team.

[Vigilanteman]

Yeah, let's just dispense with the cost of trials and commission public opinion polls to decide these things. < / sarcasm >

[sweetiepiezer]

He was just a child buying skittles and iced tea, yeah right.
Read on.

“I think the images bear out it’s a pretty even battle, in terms of body size and mass,” Irby said. “But you know, Skittles versus a gun, there’s no fairness in that alignment.”

Only a Urnalist would continue to flog that mule at this point in the game.

[momincombatboots]

Skittles and iced tea... Cooking up some “lean.... Purple drank” perhaps?

[varmintman]

The defense only needs to do one thing i.e. call Alan Dershowitz as a witness:

"You're widely recognized as one of America's top legal experts?"

"Yes"

"And you expressed an opinion on this case in public media?"

"Yes"

"And the general thrust of this opinion was?"

That the prosecutor had no case at all and was basically out to lunch."

"And the prosecutor's reaction to that was?"

"She threatened to sue Harvard University...."

You get the idea. This lunatic prosecutor needs to be flipping burgers next to Mike Nifong at the golden arches.

The arrest of Mrs. Zimmerman may backfire on the prosecutor.

I find it hard to believe that the prosecutor hasn’t known all along that she was going to lose the case. I suspect she has been offered some reward if she goes to court, anyway. Watch out for her making some huge, sudden career jump after Zimmerman will have been acquitted.

They understand, in a way that whites do not, what racial profiling is and how dangerous it can be, he said.

Shows a real lack of walking in the other man's shoes.

White people get profiled, harassed and feel danger a lot. White people are just not allowed to speak of it.

[donna]

They arrested Mrs. Zimmerman to force Mr. Zimmerman to plead guilty to something.

They are trying to save their careers by twisting Mr. Zimmerman’s arm.

[ontap]

It wasn’t Skittles this thug was reigning down on Zimmerman. It does no good to have a gun if you are going to allow a punk to beat you to death.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

If someone wants to end profiling they should ask what it is about their behavior that makes other people profile them.

[skeeter]

The question is why is ANYONE concerned about what a poll says about this. Isn't it supposed to be about truth and justice?

The media is completely out of control.

[gzzimlich]

“This was kind of clarion call that we need some change, some real change in regard to profiling,” he said.

********

Yeah, we obviously need more of it. If some cop had stopped trayvon on the basis that a young, black, hooded male wandering around in the early hours is likely up to no good this entire incident could’ve been avoided.

Were it not for political correctness, Trayvon would have been safe and comfy in the back of a police car rather than getting shot for being dumb enough to bring a bag of skittles to a gun fight.

[henkster]

The only jumps prosecutors make after losing signature cases like this is into the toilet. Ask Marsha Clark & that Nifong guy.

Losing this case will be a career buster. If they promised her anything it’s illusory; she is being sacrificed.

[Paladin2]

Corey is the one who is depraved.

[ripley]

“The media is completely out of control.”

Nah. JUst lots of revolutionaries doing
the-end-justifies-the-means routine.

“I think the images bear out it’s a pretty even battle, in terms of body size and mass,” Irby said.

Did you see the pictures of the injuries, you stupid jackass, or are you talking out of your but.

“But you know, Skittles versus a gun, there’s no fairness in that alignment.”

No. It was fists being thrown MMA style versus a gun that remained holstered while Skittles pounded him into the pavement.

[Uncle Chip]

“This story had so many elements that it just kept percolating for a while,” said Michael Remez, a Pew spokesman, “questions of race … the adequacy of the police probe.”

Both of which have been put to rest no thanks to your ilk.
