Now it’s a crime to get out of your car?

Wow, we’ve come a long way, baby. /s

Next we’ll go full sharia and find that the raped woman really WAS “asking for it” by having something besides her eyes showing. Or the kid really deserved to get beat up by Dad because he looked the wrong way.

I don’t recognize this country any more. I seriously don’t recognize this place.

So if we dare to follow a black man in our neighborhood - a person we find suspicious - that person has the right to beat us senseless? And if we have a gun we should do the world a favor and shoot ourselves? Gimme a break.

Thanks, I was under the impression it was to be Friday, why, I don't know:)

At any rate I will wait to hear it from her mouth and not from some anonymous source that always seems to pop up in the MSM.

I wholeheartedly agree, everything you can do with a ruler and a compass you can do with the compass alone.

George Zimmerman is guilty of Homicide....the taking of a human life. His defense is that the homicide was justifiable because he was in fear of his life.

Were I George, I would stay away from a jury trial because of the high probably of jury nulification of that defense and a populist lynching egged on by the race baiters.....

Otta teach George a lesson about being a Democrat at any rate.....

No I am seeing the big picture.

No Doubt the race hustlers are out trying to cause the same old rabble they always do, but that doesn’t mean that Zimmerman has no culpability.

Sharpton, Jackson, Et Al are idiots, but they have always been idiots.

However, just because they are idiots does not mean Zimmerman has no culpability in the situation his actions helped create. He’s likely going to face manslaughter charges and he should.

Has nothing to do with the MSM, or Obama, or Jackson, has to do with the law. No doubt its a difficult case, but its not one that is without merit. 2 fundamental facts are out there, Zimmerman killed the kid, and that would not have happened had he not decided to take matters into his own hands and escalate things.

The cops who originally wanted him charged, before anyone knew the name of the guy or his victim, yes, they were all racists and race baiters (Rolling Eyes).. Be serious will you. DA makes final call on whether to press charges, but that doesn’t mean the DA has no oversight, or cannot be overruled by others.

The DA made a bad call from the get go IMHO. Now whether this guy winds up convicted, who knows, but he should stand trial for his actions. Personally I think he will be convicted, and not because of race hustlers, but because he made a series of horrifically dumb decisions that lead to the death of another human being.

I’m curious of the ethnicity of this Angela Corey Special Prosecutor woman. He is being hailed as a tough, no nonsense career prosecutor, but they also say she was fired in Jacksonville (she says it was “political”). They have sliced and diced Zimmerman’s ethnicity and based “hate crime” allegations thereon, but it would seem that her ethnicity is also an issue (especially if she goes the “wrong” way). She looks White, but so did the Brown Zimmerman after media photoshopped it to make his Orange shirt look Pink and his face look fat and WHITE!!

I wholeheartedly agree. The second amendment says nothing about the right to being an idiot.

Oh c'mon Laz, it's right next to the privacy and separation clause.

Quit wholeheartedly agreeing with everything.

 

It's just wrong - for the Laz to use "wholeheartedly" knowing he knows we know he thinks we are thinking of hole.

And Lazamataz and hole leads us to think what? Yeah, that's right.

 
I'd hit it.


You should stop that. Don't you agree?

Yes, none of it happend... Zimmerman just sat in his car, and Trayvon walked up, dragged him from it and started beating him.(rolling eyes)

Sorry, but if you think Zimmerman didn’t leave his vehicle, against better judgement, Neighborhood Watch recommended procedures and even the advice of the dispatch operator and attempted to pursue the kid, you have got a pretty damned good supplier to suspend reality so completely.

He’s on the record admitting to it.

"If any jury votes unanimously for acquittal for any reason, every one of the jurors will live in fear in perpetuity.....and will be lucky if his or her house isn't burned down within weeks."

Unfortunately agree. It is already clear to any potential juror that they must convict Zimmerman or they will be convicted by the NBPP, the MSM, and the mob. It doesn't matter what the facts may show, Zimmerman is already guilty - it is for the greater good of the Obama reelection campaign.

indicating he was not completely overpowered.

One well placed blow could change that.
