I doubt that was planned.

Who had the trigger lock removed, and asked the witness to actually pull the trigger on the pistol?

The media is hoping for manslaughter now.

This isn't news to you: They always do. They see a golden opportunity for mayhem-watching, you can bet they already have the extra news crews ready for the event.

Can defense call Joe Oliver to the stand?

If there is a 'not guilty' can Joe Oliver implore the 'Holder People' not to take to the streets.

Zimmerman, you tutored/mentored black children.

Zimmerman, that sounds pretty racist to me, big fela'./sarc

Zimmerman's friend who wrote the book re: GZ and TM - testified.

Couldn't someone/anyone bring in people who were aware of his teaching black children to knock down any implication that he is racist. This would be another reason for 'Holder People' not to take to the streets.

Can all his black friends get on radio and tv programs now to head off any talk of rioting if Zimmerman is found 'not guilty?

Kathi Belich, WFTV @KBelichWFTV It appears the state thought it was a big win to get #Zimmermanon9 ‘s school records in but never anticipated the door it opened.

Brer Rabbit comes to mind.

That’s an ignorant conclusion by talking heads. The primary reason for carrying is to protect yourself in the event that you encounter a situation where you do fear for your life.

The reason for keeping a round in the chamber is to allow fast response time when your life is actually in jeopardy. Having to take time to rack the slide in an emergency defeats the whole purpose of being able to respond in a split second when one needs to do so.

Best untrue post I have seen on the web today:

GZ had a loaded gun and a pitbull in his truck, and police told him to put the gun away and take the dog back home.

"The media is woefully ignorant of guns and gun laws."

One of those talking heads is a lawyer. All along he has been impressed with the defense, so it surprised me today when he is saying this is a game changer, and that Zimmerman could have no fear because of the fact he had a loaded gun. Maybe he is just stating how he thinks the 6 women jury will think this. I just can't imagine that is his conclusion.

Understood, but the “how can you tell it’s mr. skittles” question still opens the door to past history or discounts the witness, IMO.

St Skittles didn’t live with his mom for 14 yrs. He lived with his step mom. So the most familiar is his step mom and not $abrina.

Great Point. I hope that is brought out on cross --

When was the last time you heard him scream other than when you kicked him out of your house for the last time.

All very true. It's also true the ignorant talking heads don't want us to be able to defend ourselves. If something we have to do takes time to give a thug a chance to kill us, they side with the thug, every time.

“The answer may be something like “If you are not a member of the protected class and you defend yourself against them, you are a racist and the right of the protected class to nullify/make up for/correct history trumps your right to self-defense...??”

The slick, black attorney chic on CNN seems to think that his head was not bashed in sufficiently to have to use a weapon. I guess she wanted Zimmerman dead first.

His gun wasn’t made with a trigger lock. Besides they can fail and make the gun dangerous to shoot. :)

Wow....that's a truly idiotic statement. A loaded gun removes all fear. I wish I could have responded to that statement by asking the nitwit if he thinks our brave soldiers would agree with him.

They are beginning to make OJ and Duke Lacrosse prosecutors look good.

"Is it just me or are they not constantly cutting the camera on GZ as much as they have been in previous days?"

The first several days it seemed they had the camera on Zimmerman all the time. I even commented to my husband I wish they would show the lawyers and the evidence. Lately they seem to be doing that. I have been watching the feed from Florida.

Do you recall that other microphone that was on the witness stand and how they kept saying to not speak into that one? I wonder what it was for and why it finally went away.

...Zimmerman could have no fear because of the fact he had a loaded gun.

Liberals "think" this way about people who carry all the time. They think that because someone is armed, they are more likely to feel safer and be belligerent. It never occurs to them the opposite is true. I try to stay out of trouble spots when I carry, because I don't want to have to shoot someone.

So, if I have a gun, I cannot be in fear for my life and can therefore never use it. The only time I can be in fear for my life and defend myself with a gun is when I don’t have one.

...

Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.

“That’s some catch, that Catch-22,” he observed.

“It’s the best there is,” Doc Daneeka agreed.
