SANFORD, Fla. (TheBlaze/AP) — George Zimmerman was fed up with “punks” getting away with crime and shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin “because he wanted to,” not because he had to, prosecutors argued Monday, while the neighborhood watch volunteer’s attorney said the killing was self-defense against a young man who was slamming Zimmerman’s head against the pavement.

Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
Kanagroo Court.
Courtroom as theatre. Another cultural marker.
Is this gonna be Casey Anthony all over again? What the hell is wrong with Florida?!
It’s filling up with idiots from the north east.
As a northeasterner, I agree with your remark!
“Is this gonna be Casey Anthony all over again?”
Zimmerman is innocent. Casey wasn’t. So what’s your point?
Well, at least that little criminal Trayvon is dead.
Wrong celebrity. Think Rodney King.
My point is that the first day is starting with a knock-knock joke - not unlike remarks made by Jose Baiz (sic!)during his closing remarks. I believe Zimmerman is completely innocent but we live in a world of morons and low information voters and lawyers.
Well, at least that little criminal Trayvon is dead.
He was only little because the national media plastered a photo of a 13 year old boy, not an updated photo of the gangsta teen.
Actually I didn’t think the knock knock joke was that bad. It subtlely highlights how much press the Zimmerman and Travon case has had and questions whether Zimmerman can get a fair trial.

“The 911 dispatcher, Sean Noffke, testified that he had advised Zimmerman not to follow Martin.”
Then the dispatcher is a moron. He actually said: “we don’t need you to do that”. That’s a simple declarative statement about what police dispatch thinks they “need”. It’s not a clear advisory to not follow Martin. It certainly isn’t a command (as the MSM reports) to not follow Martin.
A study of airline accidents revealed the importance of clear, unequivocal language — in the cockpit, and in the control tower. Police dispatchers are also among those, who need to use clear, unequivocal language.

I get it. Yeah, it is an ‘Idiocracy’ world. Great movie, BTW. Not for kids, but spot on.
But they’re still showing the innocent little boy on the news coverage or the air brushed picture of him in his white hoodie.
But then he said that Zimmerman should keep telling him what Martin was doing!!!
Yep, the little 13 year old grew up to be thug, yet the media has nostalgic sympathies.
