But the “Fourth estate” has become, in the words of Dr. Savage, the “Fifth Column”.

I have read in a few places that the car was on fire. The image of pulling people out of a burning car is very different from pulling them out of rolled car. I don't know if it true as the lying media cannot be trusted at all.

Since the whole black American world seems bent on calling him a creepy arse cracker, why not have a convocation of creepy arse crackers down there for his benefit.

I predict that by the end of summer, all this race-baiting stuff will soon be over and forgotten.

Race baiting serves this administration well ... it diverts attention away from Benghazi & the IRS scandals.

By the end of the month the evidence hearing/ charges against the prosecution will be heard. There should be plenty of egg to cover many faces when it’s all laid on the table.
Looking at judge Debbie ‘s schedule it may be as early as tomorrow She’s blocked the afternoon off for hearing lasting longer than an hour

Sadly we are becoming more and more like pre WW11. Read the book Sarah’s Key to get a perspective on how people turned a blind eye to the atrocities that were happening to their neighbors in order to “protect” their families. I pray that this father decides that his legacy as a leader of the family is strong enough to just share the simple truth of what happened.

Neo-fascism marches on, with an upraised fist and a map of Africa in lieu of the old symbols.

Ah, OK. I thought it was Zimmerman on the phone. Seems the news report was off on that part (big surprise). Never mind then. :-)

No worries. It’s off the news now that they have a royal baby and are eagerly awaiting the prince’s first spit up, cameras in hand.

So, in effect, NORMAL working class Black people have no investment in TM. The ones involved in the protests are the same ones who will look for any excuse to riot.

My impression as well.

When we survive this (And I believe in my heart we WILL!), the Press and Media of these days will go down in shame and infamy for their compliance and advocacy of evil.

And I hope somehow, some way, they have to pay for their crimes. They are just pure evil, because, as you said, "they KNOW what the results of Communism and Totalitarianism are. Yet they continue in their lies."

I think if we had a true conservative party alternative right now, we could actually draw in a lot of middle class blacks. I can’t stand the ghetto, rap culture, welfare blacks, but many blacks are not like that at all, and as you said, I think some are beginning to see through the race baiters. Problem is, all we have is the corporatist, Democrat-lite wing of the Republican party. The working people of this country have no one to represent them and pull us all together.

Well, even if it hadn’t caught on fire - it could have in an instant. And George wouldn’t have known that. Just like folks saying it would have been even better if it was a black family. It very well could have been - George would STILL have rescued him.

I’m not so sure I would be interacting at ALL with the general public after what he went through. “Someone needs help? Heh. Look where that got me the last time I tried to be helpful. Screw ‘em.”

Thank God that George is a bigger man than I am.

And if was me that had been rescued, I MIGHT make a comment to the press. Something like “It was a big deal to us, but we don’t feel it is newsworthy. We did convey our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. Zimmerman. And as a token of our thanks gave him a $2000 gift certificate to Joe’s Firearm and Tactical Emporium.”

I’ve been watching people in the SF East Bay around the time of the verdict after, and aside from having seen a couple of “Justice for Trayvon” shirts this weekend, in my immediate neighborhood life goes on as usual. The riots were in the downtown area. In the residential neighborhoods, people seem quiet and almost — dare I say it?? — a little bit relieved. This isn’t about race. It’s about the rule of law. And the law is supposed to protect ALL of us, regardless of color.

Yes.

What hope is there for anyone if we are not allowed to defend ourselves when we are in danger?

Most halfway intelligent people realize that no matter what race they are.
