I’m not acquainted with him but as you can tell I post and have post articles from there. On this matter it is hard to find any site that has done a better job bringing the facts of this matter forward, and unfortunately keeping the pinky ring criticism alive as well.

If GZ is acquitted, I think we should start the rumor on black forums that Corey through the case on purpose.

Just wanted to chime in.
I for the first time today listened to the screams for help on the 911 tapes, and it seems very clear that it is Zimmerman.

Thanks. I have wondered why you excerpted his blog. It wouldn’t surprise me if he trolled here.

I know first hand how he obtained a good deal of those “exclusive” facts, therefore quit giving his blog hits long ago.

It depends... that’s what is so worrying...hope it does not come to pass. It could happen anywhere, but more likely in cities/towns(Miami-Orlando-Tampa-Jacksonville or others)of any decent size. It just takes a few to start trouble....wait and see. In short: No one knows what will happen.

“Pardon my ignorance, but what is the John Cage defense?
John Cage was an odd composer. One of his works was a piece consisting of 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence.

In the Zimmerman trial, MoM had presented the jury with 4 minutes of silence, the amount of time that whereabouts were unaccounted for. “

Now I get it. Hadn’t heard about Cage’s piece, 4 minutes 33 seconds. Wasn’t really into his kind of music. However, I briefly knew John Cage, barely, but I did know him. When young and attending the Univ. of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, I had a part-time job in the Music Bldg, at the Music Library, checking out books and/or sheet music. I was about 18 years old and it was in the 60-70’s. This was the time of experimental music, and U of I had a rather large experimental music group amongst the faculty at the time.

John Cage became a Visiting Professor at U. of I. for a period of time, can’t remember how long, at least a half year, possibly a year. He would come in the Music Library a lot to check out books. I might add that Cage himself was an author, and a mushroom enthusiast, so his books would be interspersed with commentary on mushrooms, his passion in life besides music. As I worked a fair amount, I frequently would check out books for Cage, and banter with him. He was a very clever man, short, witty when he wanted to be, and also very gay. He would dress what was for then quite flamboyantly as a Professor, and used a cigarette holder to add to his effect. I got quite a kick out of him, and always enjoyed it when he came in. I was fairly good looking back then, but it made not a whit of difference to Cage, as he was much more interested in the young musical men than any women around him, although he was friendly to the female sex in an asexual way.

Cage held a great musical pageant while at U. of I. that was the talk of the town for weeks. It was held at the U. of I. Assembly Hall, a giant mushroom shaped building (that’s probably why he like it; it looked like a mushroom top, or in the alternative, like a flying saucer). These were the psychedelic days, and so was his event. As you entered, you were hit with long strips of psychedlic painted cloth hanging from above, being blown by huge fans as you ran the gauntlet of these cloth strips in order to get to the main floor of the building.

Once inside the main arena, there were harpsichordists (literally), many up on platforms, playing their instruments. High up in the corner rafters of the building (remember, it is mushroom shaped, so the assembly hall chairs went up high in rows, and at the top, the ceiling arched up from the last row) were tape recorders blaring assorted random sounds at the same time as the harpsichordists below were playing away in various parts of the main floor, their being strewn arbitrarily about. Many of these harpsichordists were quite famous players. I remember one renowned harpsichordist woman was an import from either France or Switzerland, I believe. Well, the whole evening was a blast, and we all had a lot of fun, as well as experiencing a very odd musical event. Fond memories.

One other Cage story. I attended another one of his performances, being held in a small performance hall in the Music Bldg itself. Cage was playing (and I use that word loosely) one of his pieces where he would put pieces of stuff, objects, on the strings of the piano in order to emit different sounds, and one of the music students (a total oddball in his own right) stood up in the middle of the performance and started arguing with Cage about how he was bastardizing music. Of course he got kicked out, but not before he and Cage really got into it verbally.

As an aside, this music student used to appear periodically in the student downtown area on campus where all the bars were, and parade down the streets with a male sidekick, both dressed in kilts, and Carlos, that was his name, would be playing his bagpipes. He would weave in and out of the bars while playing the pipes, and was quite well known on campus for his eccentricity. Eventually he was charged by the campus police when caught hiding sheet music and books from the Music Library where I worked in the basement, and had been dismantling one of the Music Dept’s harpsichords piece by piece and hiding his booty in the steam pipe rooms down in the basement. This is all true, not fabricated out of whole cloth in the recesses of my mind. Nothing was boring back in those days.

Anything based on emotions the outcome is wrong. It all depends how long they thought it through or if it’s a rash decision and they are sticking with it no matter what.

The same for men - their logic isn’t always correct - if it wasn’t thought through properly.

In any group, there needs to be at least one to be balanced and be able to communicate so either one can see/admit they may be on the wrong track.

I sure hope egos aren’t flying around that room - that will be disastrous. They want to be right instead of focusing on George and it’s about him. And trying to tell anyone that, when you basically don’t know them, their back can go up.

I believe men and women balance each other - I sure hope I’m wrong in this case and that it is an easy enough decision they can make together.

As any trouble makers are pretty much guaranteed to join Trayvon in short order I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

So true although this is on the cusp being right off of Rinehart. You’re right though, the media would have run with it with their idiotic agenda driven crap. A testament to how utterly stupid they all are is how they got punked with the asian flight crash by thinking real Chinese names are Ho Lee Fuk, etc. LOL
