Trayvon Martin’s friend Rachel Jeantel, revealed last night that she ‘had a feeling’ that the largely white-female jury would find George Zimmerman not guilty because of their race.
'If Trayvon was white and he had a hoodie on, would that have happened?' said Miss Jeantel, who was the last person to speak to the teen.
Meanwhile protests continued throughout the U.S. as thousands of people gathered in Atlanta, Georgia, and Birmingham, Alabama, as well as smaller crowds in New York City and Washington D.C.
The slain teenager’s friend, who was one of the prosecution’s star witnesses said after the verdict she felt ‘disappointed, angry, upset, question, and mad’.
During the trial, defence lawyer Don West repeatedly asked Miss Jeantel to speak up and the jury said that they could not hear her, so she used an interview on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight to explain that an untreated overbite has caused her speech issues for much of her life.
‘I had to have surgery to push it back and right now I don’t want to do it because it would take a year to heal,’ she said. ‘Words I can say - it can’t come out right.’
She took shots at Mr West, saying ‘he's lucky I'm a Christian’ - as that is the only thing that has prevented her from ‘cussing’ him out.

I forsee future murder trials of a black defendant and white victim, where the jury is made up of mostly Blacks just as in the OJ trial. And the result will be the same. The verdict will be not guilty and considered payback for Travon Martin.
Interview: William Hodgman
As assistant district attorney for the city of Los Angeles, Willliam Hodgman was one of the lead prosecutors, arguing pretrial motions and working on the jury selection process.
How do you explain the images of the black community rejoicing at the O.J. acquittal?
I think it can be summed up in four words: payback for Rodney King.
The afternoon after the verdicts came in, I was in my office, and after having spent time briefly with the Brown family, more time with the Goldman family, attempting to console them as well as console the junior members of our own team who were quite distraught over the verdicts, ... there was a knock at the door, and a couple deputy sheriffs came in. They had been with the group of deputies who had transported the jurors who had been sequestered out to a sheriff substation to be released back to their loved ones and boyfriends and others. And they described the scene as joyous, high-fiving, smiles, laughter, hugs. And these two deputies told me, they said: “Bill, you guys never had a chance. We were standing there in the parking lot, and all we could hear was, ‘That was payback for Rodney King. That was payback for Rodney King.’”
As assistant district attorney for the city of Los Angeles, Willliam Hodgman was one of the lead prosecutors, arguing pretrial motions and working on the jury selection process. However, in late January 1995, he took on a less prominent role due to health reasons. In this interview, he explains the prosecution’s reasons for making Simpson’s domestic violence a key part of their case — and one that had little impact on the jury — as well as their decision to use Detective Mark Fuhrman, despite knowing about his previous racist remarks. Hodgman discusses how, in retrospect, he might have handled the case differently, but feels that it probably would have mattered little in the end. He believes the public, and possibly the jurors, were seeking “payback.” “This is cognitive dissonance: this feeling, this sentiment that somehow the score was going to be even by acquitting O.J.,” Hodgman tells FRONTLINE. “I have no idea if those jurors … felt that maybe O.J. did it, but that they were simply going to let him go — a jury nullification — or, if they really carefully deliberated and felt that somehow the evidence was inadequate.” This interview was conducted on April 4, 2005.
What was the O.J. Simpson trial all about? Was this just a murder trial, or was it something else as well?
... I’ve often likened the O.J. Simpson case to a perfect storm, a crashing together of these external

Looks like Jeantel is digging herself deeper with a government-subsidized tunnel boring machine. Good thing the instructions are not in cursive . . .
Obama’s sons showing how TM was a peaceful innocent little boy by rioting ans smashing cars and windows.
Then Zimmerman would have never been charged and there would not have even been a trial.
You keep right on 'splaining that girl. Bullshit. You just stupid.
If TV were white, this most likely never would have happened because generally, white people don’t do what he did in that situation.
If he’d been white, we’d all be saying “Who?”.
He would have been shot by George Zimmerman for trying to kill George Zimmerman with Zimmerman released by cops for justifiable homicide and we would have never have heard of it again.
The fact that a nineteen year old high school junior who can’t read cursive nor speak intelligibly is being held up as a wise sage and voice of reason in certain circles on the Left tells you all you need to know about those circles.
More like we never would have seen this anywhere in the media. Except perhaps the conservative media.
If both Trayvon and Zimmerman were black - NO TRIAL!
If Trayvon was white and Zimmerman was black - NO TRIAL!
If Trayvon was black and Zimmerman was white - TRIAL!
If Trayvon was black and Zimmerman was hispanic - TRIAL!
(just call Zimmerman white and prosecute the hell out of him)
Was she wearing her Peirs Morgan nurls for the show?
Nothing.
The "white" TM would not have lain in wait and ambushed Zim.

‘If Trayvon was white and he had a hoodie on, would that have happened?’
Then Zimmerman would have never been charged and there would not have even been a trial.
Because there would be no money train for the Justice Brothers...
If TM was white, he would have called 911 and said that some guy was following him and he needed an officer. The police would have come, defused the situation, and no one would have been:
- ambushed
- punched in the nose and broken
- slammed to the ground
- head smashed against the concrete
- shot in self defense
But calling the Popo dont get no street cred. Give’n a beat down is gonna build that gangsta rep and that is what TM wanted.

Riot by the Dead Kennedys
Rioting, the unbeatable high Adrenalin shoots your nerves to the sky Everyone knows this town is gonna blow And it’s all gonna blow right now
Now you can smash all the windows that you want All you really need are some friends and a rock Throwing a brick never felt so damn good Smash more glass, scream with a laugh
And wallow with the crowds Watch them kicking peoples’ ass
But you get to the place Where the real slave drivers live It’s walled off by the riot squad Aiming guns right at your head
So you turn right around And play right into their hands And set your own neighborhood Burning to the ground instead
Riot, the unbeatable high Riot shoots your nerves to the sky Riot, playing right into their hands Tomorrow you’re homeless Tonight it’s a blast
Get your kicks in quick They’re callin’ the National Guard Now could be your only chance To torch a police car
Climb the roof, kick the siren in And jump and yelp for joy Quickly dive back in the crowd Slip away, now don’t get caught
Let’s loot the spiffy Hi-Fi store Grab as much as you can hold Pray your full arms don’t fall off Here comes the owner with a gun
Riot, the unbeatable high Riot shoots your nerves to the sky [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/riot-lyrics-dead-kennedys.html ] Riot, playing right into their hands Tomorrow you’re homeless Tonight it’s a blast
The barricades spring up from nowhere Cops in helmets line the lines Shotguns prod into your bellies The trigger fingers want an excuse, now
The raging mob has lost its nerve There’s more of us but who goes first No one dares to cross the line The cops know that they’ve won
It’s all over but not quite The pigs have just begun to fight They club your heads, kick your teeth Police can riot all that they please
Riot, the unbeatable high Riot shoots your nerves to the sky Riot, playing right into their hands Tomorrow you’re homeless Tonight it’s a blast
Riot, the unbeatable high Riot shoots your nerves to the sky Riot, playing right into their hands Tomorrow you’re homeless Tonight it’s a blast
Tomorrow you’re homeless Tonight it’s a blast Tomorrow you’re homeless Tonight it’s a blast
Tomorrow you’re homeless Tonight it’s a blast Tomorrow you’re homeless Tonight it’s a blast
Tomorrow you’re homeless Tonight it’s a blast Tomorrow you’re homeless Tonight it’s a blast
But in the US, a white young man beating up a “white hispanic” would not have made national news. It would not have resulted in a show trail pushed into place by public outcry.
Well now that we have input from the ignorant racist micro-encephalitic demographic covered I suppose we can move on.
