... the system worked, yet justice fell short ...

WTF? If the system worked, justice was served ...

... No doubt race played a role in Martin’s death. Zimmerman likely would not have called the police about a white teenager — even a white teenager wearing a hoodie — walking back from a 7-Eleven.

Who the hell is she - the "Amazing Kreskin" ??? She has absolutely NO IDEA what Zimmerman would have done ...

And, FYI, she's got a law degree - if you can believe that ...

The sine qua non of this case is the fact that Trayvon Martin tried to bash in George Zimmerman's head for more than 45 seconds after George Zimmerman indicated clearly and unambiguously that he wanted Trayvon Martin to stop. The 911 tape clearly indicates that someone was screaming for at least that much time, eyewitness accounts indicate that someone was trying to bash in someone else's head, and George Zimmerman is the only person's head to have taken any damage. If a white person would have been just as likely as a black person to have tried to bash in George Zimmerman's head in the way Trayvon Martin did, then a white person would have been just as likely to get shot.

Big talk for a person hiding behind armed security guards everywhere she goes. Most of us don’t have that luxury. We have to provide it ourselves or rely on neighbors, such as the NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH!

This case is not about Skittles, Ice Tea, justice, racism, killing, self-defense, Creepy-ass cracker or white Hispanics.

This whole charade is about a culture of selfish, evil ignorance and smarmy socialist power.

There is no objectivity, or even a scintilla of logic, in the liberal mindset. They actually believe they have the moral high ground. The ability to live and work for the American dream, being destroyed before their very eyes, is the proof.

This ain't about Saint Skittles.

It's about disarming potential crime victims so Eric Holder's people aren't in danger when they attack non-Eric Holder's people.

The criminal justice system is meant first to determine whether a person is guilty of breaking a law. If, based on the facts it is found that no laws were broken and the person exonerated by the court, then justice has been served. End of story. Anyone who believes Zimmerman should be jailed even though he broke no law should picture themselves in Zimmermans position and then ask; what would they have done. Zimmerman had every right to do what was expected of him as the neighbor watchman and it WAS Trayvon Martin who chose to be the aggressor and started beating on Zimmerman for simply doing his job of watching out for his neighborhood. Zimmerman was in no way acting malicious, but the same can not be said of Trayvon Martin. KARMA happens.

Ruth Marcus is dimwitted enough that she clearly has a hard time understanding, let alone reconciling, the cacophony of foolish voices running through her own head, and yet somehow she is a psychic mind reader of impeccable skill and training who can tell us not only what was going through Zimmerman's mind at the time of the shooting but also what would likely have gone through his mind in a totally different situation.

Watch out, Miss Cleo, there's a new competitor in town.

If all these people would simply say black teenagers shouldn’t be profiled, they’d have a point. But they lose the argument when they try to prosecute George Zimmerman, who was only defending himself.

Yes it did.
Martin like far too many young blacks thought playing at a thug life was cool and fun, It got him dead. So yes race played a role. Just not the one the media wanted..

THE ONLY DAMNED THING IN THE ENTIRE FLORIDA JUDICIAL SYSTEM THAT WORKED THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED TO WORK, WERE THE SIX FEMALE JURORS. Those ladies are all Patriots!

The Left continues to ignore the basic facts.

Martin was beating Zimmerman to death & Zimmerman had the right to stop that beating by any means possible.

Martin had the option of running to the apartment a mere 50 yards away, yet he chose to attack Zimmerman instead.

Martin was the aggressor.

The color of their skins is irrelevant.

I would say this woman is stupid, but I know better. She makes her living by capitalizing on conflict & tragedy. She is part of the head of the snake.

I’ve called the cops on suspicious kids before. Younger than 17. And white, too.

But they were walking thru folks’ yards and ran when I asked them what they were doing.

"sad because a 17-year-old boy is dead and his killer walks free" sad because a 17-year-old boy thug, drug using ("lean" made from skittles), burglar who was suspended three times from school is being made a saint while they persecute the man who, while defending himself, shot him dead. There! FIXED!
