“questions of race … the adequacy of the police probe.”

Wow, you have to wonder whether pundits are talking out their asses and have no worries beause they live in a world where everyone spins everything and no one has the time to notice, or are they that ignorant? Does it matter to them now that Zimmerman is a rainbow of races and the police probe was perfectly adequate given the fact that despite their ridiculous overcharging the prosecution has zero evidence to counteract Zimmerman’s immunity claim? Does it matter, in short, that they were wrong to launch a national news frenzy?

Or is it enough that some case, somewhere, sometime, is going to possess the qualities they thought this case possessed? That is, a white racist “profiling” and deliberately plotting to kill an unarmed black honors student on his way home from Bible study which was covered up by the racist, white local old boys’ network.

“The staccato-like release of information was intentional”

Exactly, and the people may be gullible but they’re savvier than they used to be concerning these things. All many people will remember is the original story. That is, that an “unarmed black youth” was shot by a kinda-sorta white guy and he should have been arrested but for something wrong with the law and the police. But some, at least, are still paying attention, and the more they do the sillier appears the MSM.

By the way, when the case is eventually dropped or Zimmerman released, as I think will happen, the MSM’s endgame will be not to report it. If he is convicted of something or other, if not murder then perhaps unpaid parking tickets, it will be shouted from a mountaintop. That is the playbook.

But Corey is A REPUBLICAN dontcha know (they made sure we all did)

So this is lose-lose for Republicans. If he is acquiteed, they will claim the Rpublicans got him off the hook. If he is Acqitted they will claimj the Republicans railroaded a Hispanic man. If there are race riots, ditto.

I think Corey is a democrap plant- she is too stupid to be a real Republican.

His old web site clearly stated the donations would be used for living expenses and legal defense.


Yes, I know.

I had point out that fact several times to FReepers who stated that the donated money was to be used exclusively for 'legal expenses' ... here, and here, and here.

I guess I thought of living expenses more like day-to-day, not paying off entire credit card bills. More power to him. I wonder if the 5-bedroom house the Zimmermans discuss getting is a rental or did they buy it with the donations.

Sure: Military organizations do post-combat reconnaissance all the time. BDA: "Battle Damage Assessment". It's basic.

Like Newsweek setting up a weekly poll in 1995 to provide a steady flow of BDA on the journalists' hate-attack on the Republican Congress after the 1994 election. You remember that one? That's exactly what that was. They were measuring Newt's negatives and the GOP's negatives continuously, and judging what worked and what didn't, and adjusting their propaganda campaign accordingly. Worked.

Excellent analysis. Thank you.

How Alinsky of you. An unsubstantiated drive by shot implying Zimmerman is living high on the hog, frittering away the donations. Crump and Corey send their thanks.

And I wonder what the people who contributed to his 'defense fund' will think when they learn they paid off all of Geroge's bills, from his credit cards, to a loan from his mother, to Mrs. Z's nursing school tuition, etc. The only bills not paid were the water bill and car insurance ... because Mrs. Z could not do that online.

And... who deserves it more than someone who volunteered to fight the crime and violence in his own neighborhood, and almost died trying, were it not for the gun the police TOLD him to buy to protect himself from the 'known' illegally wandering PIT BULLS.

Yet... it is OK for SHARPTON and JACKSON to be able to fly on private jets to spread RACIST VIOLENCE, with the FUNDS that the PUBLIC donates to them????

In a ‘sane’ country, we would not only pay off his bills, but give him a medal for his injuries in defense of his neighborhood.

Consider this:

Had Trayvon Martin not grabbed for George Zimmerman’s DOG PISTOL, Trayvon wouldn’t be dead, and George would be dead or in a coma.

What makes you think Zimmerman will be acquitted? You are dealing with the people of FL here as the jurors.

He applied twice to be a police officer and failed both times.

Have you heard the new tapes released this afternoon? She knew the day before the hearing how much was in there. She lied. She said they were indigent yet they are heard talking about her setting the alarm on her phone to remind her every day to transfer the money daily to her bank acct. She gives him numbers. She knew. Does not matter the amt tho she did know. They were not indigent. She lied.

The hardest thing for me to accept, now days, is that liberals of all kinds have no logic. My goal in life is to put aside emotion and use logic to solve problems. Men do that usually, I guess that’s why real men are under attack. How dare they be logical.

There is obviously reasonable doubt here. And Zimmerman’s lawyers should be able to explain this to any jury, no matter how dumb it is.
