"That's real retarded, sir. That's real retarted sir". No. She. Didn't. Did I actually hear that? She's a soft-talker - maybe I heard wrong.

Defense Attorney Don West:
"In your community, people there call white people 'crackers'..?"

Witness Rachel Jeantel:
"Yes sir.."

So, when are the white riots going to start? /s

[kidd]

West: You didn’t call police or tell anyone because Trayvon started the fight?
Jeantel: No. “That’s real retarded to do.”—

The “retarded” remark Jeantel used didn’t sit well with the jury. Groans.—

The defense attorney: (looks at the Jury) Do I even need to put on a defense? The defense rests your honor....

I was watching the "experts" on MSNBC and they seemed to think the star witness was doing quite well ... the observers in the courtroom were "leaning in" to try to catch every convincing word.

>>I don’t know. Is it “creepyass cracker” or “creepy asscracker”

It Zimmerman was the latter, Obama and his lapdog media would be celebrating his “lifestyle choice”.

Must? I guess that she is an Obama supporter who doesn’t believe in the 5th Amendment.

Well,yah...she's all that too.

[a fool in paradise]

I’m bummed that someone has already taken the name “Creepy Ass Cracker: ;-)

Isn't creepy ass cracker the technical term for a pair of underwear that keep riding up on ya?

[MrB]

Someone say "crackass"?

[EQAndyBuzz]

I hear New England is looking for a tight end.

[al baby]

Quick kick it back in the water

[fulltlt]

Now that would be some stinky crack.

[Revolting cat!]

Has this star witness been invited on the View, Letterman, Leno yet? Has she received book deals, offers from Playboy, Dancing with the Americans Idle?

[Gay State Conservative]

Must? I guess that she is an Obama supporter who doesn’t believe in the 5th Amendment.

Oh,sorry...I misunderstood what you were replying to.When he said that he had just finished stating that the chunky gal had been a plus for the state and had,in his opinion,done a good amount of damage to Zimmerman.I assume that his statement that Zimmerman "must" testify meant that the only one who could reverse that damage was the defendant himself.

If its OK for blacks to use the N-word its OK for Rachel to use the R-word.

[MrB]

Seriously, what would be at all interesting about a 75 IQ fat girl with an inflated sense of self worth, anyway?

“what would be at all interesting about a 75 IQ fat girl with an inflated sense of self worth, anyway?”

Well, it’s Exhibit A regarding the failure of the Great Society programs.

[a fool in paradise]

Her twitter account is going to get her nominated for twit of the week.

[mj1234]

I hope she gets invited on the view or Leno-

Not only would people see what a worthless human
she is, but:

SHE WOULD ADMIT TO PERJURY!!

And laugh about it!!- she really thinks she is on
Judge Judy’s show!

That this whole thing is a game- “when do I get my
new set of court nails?”- cracker!

If Michelle had another daughter...

I've been watching this little drama on some channel (HLN) that is obviously rooting for the prosecution. After watching Rachel's awkward dissembling, the talking heads started to toss around comments like "I think she gained a lot of credibility this afternoon", and other stupid comments, such as my favorite "We got to know Rachel today, and she seems very genuine".

IMHO, the way it ended was priceless. After several minutes of discussion about the fact that Trayvon called Zimmerman by a racial epithet, and how black people in her neighborhood call white people "cracker" all the time, she was asked if Trayvon called white people "crackers". After a couple of minutes of silence, she said "I don't remember".

“So, when are the white riots going to start/s”

Why the sarcasm?Maybe the politicians and the elites need to know that there is only so far that the "white" people can be pushed. Maybe they need to fear that WE can take to the streets, too. After all, the original Boston Massacre in 1770 was a riot against occupying British troops, and the original Tea Parties were direct action tax resistance. (Here in Maryland, the Tea Party did not just dump the tea, they forced the owner of the Peggy Stewart to burn his own ship.)
