Does not apply to me.Okay. But there are plenty of folks nationwide that would vote for Obama just to keep the peace.

All Zimmerman has to do is take his moms maiden name and move to a better state if hes acquitted.Actually you've made a good point here. They will forget especially when it's proven Zimmerman was defending himself if that's the case.

I think “none of was there” is correct. However “The fact is there is lots of racial bigotry in this case” should be changed to read, “the fact is there is a lot of racial...”

The difference is that this is a political operation from start to finish, intended to rile the black base and get them to to polls in November. Blacks are in the bag for Obama. This is about scaring whites into voting for him.
I think EPU is on to this. It's true that the black population is in the bag for Obama. But they are not as motivated to get to the polls in November to re-elect him as they were to vote for him the first time.
They will use and manipulate events like this to rekindle that motivation.

Sure; they’ll take what they can get in collateral votes. But what got blacks to turn out 93% for a lily-white loser like Gore? Obama needs whites. To some, the only real difference between Romney and Obama will be that with Obama, America’s metropolitan areas won’t burst into flames.

Watching Florida Prosecutor Angela Corey give that speech, talking to the television audience as if they were all 7 years old was just too much.
Watch Corey walk out winking and nodding at the cameras and her media friends in the room as if she was at the Academy Awards.
It was one of the most disgusting media circuses I've ever seen.
Corey, clearly giddy about the attention, is smiling ear to ear, during a news conference speech about some guy that was shot dead.
Corey is a disgusting political whore who is more concerned with her career and appeasing the black racist and media, than justice.
Watching that woman give her speech was disturbing!

So two cases in twenty years? Okay. And no a judge is definitely not the same as a prosecutor when it comes to a defense attorney's wrath or mouthing off to the media. Both sides usually speak well of judges regardless of how a judge rules. It's just dumb to do other wise. Have you watched any public or high profile trials? The defense attorney always winds up calling the state's case fabricated, or a political move by the DA etc etc. It's standard defense babble, but in this case it certainly applies. I don't think Mason needs to worry.
Cheney Mason is not known for his subtleties, as you probably remember from his gesture to the media after winning an acquittal in Casey Anthony's trial.

It's all an act, and she is playing the part. She can't act like she's on Zimmerman's side to make this work. Good grief!
Corey is a political pig and watching here give her long drawn out speech, was severely painful and should have been enough to make most Americans recoil in disgust.

What if, and I will only say “if” to say that what would happen if Obama was to lose, NOTHING will happen, no bursting into flames the cities.

Trayvon’s mother later explained that she meant that it was an accident that Trayvon and George’s paths crossed, but she is still claiming that George shot Trayvon as a “cold-blooded murder.”
To: dragnet2
Whatever.
Fact is, Zimmerman's life is over if he doesn't have a trial and clear his name.
Second degree murder is an unwinnable charge for the prosecutor. Manslaughter, maybe, but not murder 2.
Whether intentional or not, she has done him as big a favor as he can hope for under the circumstances.

Not Guilty. Slam dunk. In a just world yes, but we don't live in a just world any longer.
One or two black victim-class types on the jury who refuse to vote the law and there is no slam dunk. It's a hung jury.

This begs the question:
If Corey and the government did Zimmerman a favor, what happens if the jury is stacked with black racist, like what happened in the OJ trial, but he is found guilty here?
Is this the kind of government favor you're talking about?

Obviously not a Harvard graduate.There is nothing wrong with Mason's grammar in his statement, "None of us was."
So perhaps you are criticizing Harvard graduates?

The Rodney King jury found the LA police innocent, and it was a mixed jury.
It's when the feds are running the show that the juries get stacked.

You evaded the question, try again.

If she is on Zimmerman’s side, so are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.

Zimmerman is being held in protective custody without bail in Seminole County Jail, but asked for the case file to be sealed. The prosecutors agreed to the request. He didn't even ask for bail.
He's there because he obviously considers it to be the safest place for him.
Goes along with my contention that he called the prosecutor and begged her to bring charges.

If you believe that Zimmerman will be acquited, you are living in the twilight zone.
