Watching the trial I found the state to be, in a word disgusting.

I think Mark Omeara said something similar in the summary.

Power of the state is in vicious hands in that court room. The one lawyer made me sick to my stomach, the arrogance he displayd. Just disgusting, Judge and both lawyers. Angela Corey, I think? The one responsible for this mess, a disgusting pig.

The fact they kept Trayvons phone out of evidence is horrendous. It has just as much value as the stupid bottle of ice tea and bag of skittles. That decision by the judge spoke volumes as to what a pig she is.

My fear is Eric Holder drops in tomorrow and announces he will press federal charges, violation of Trayvons civil rights. These people are vicious scum.


We are similar mind.

Phone records, character awareness are particularly Troubling.

As pointed out by myself and others, how will the jury react if they find GZ guilty, and then learn the judge ruled to withold important info, based on some bogus burden of proof.

Regarding holder he will wait, but not long if the verdict is Not Guilty.

In my neighborhood alligators sometimes block the road and we can shoot wild hogs in the back yard.

A riot in that context would be interesting.

Oops, I misread that.

Any reason you know why they chose all women?

My understanding is that he can't do that - Federal Civil Rights laws in a situation like this only apply to actions taken under color of authority. Which is how they went after the Rodney King cops.

Zimmerman is a civilian, so there's no Federal civil rights violation in play. They *could* try to claim color of authority given Zimmerman's participation in the Neighborhood Watch program ... but that's not only risky from a legal standpoint (given lack of precedent), but also from a political one: it puts a bulls-eye on ALL Neighborhood Watch organizations and participants. I'm not a member of one, but I have friends who are and when this subject came up they said that not only would they stop participating in their programs, they'd think that their programs would just up and disband. If only because the need for liability insurance would skyrocket.

Some might argue that the elimination of Neighborhood Watch organizations would play into the hands of the Liberals, and maybe it would in the long-term. Except you'd never get to that long term because in the short term a hell of a lot of suburbanites (read: Soccer Moms) would see their Watch organizations fall apart with people pointing the finger squarely at Obama/Holder/Democrats.

When I find a child's stone, it brings me to my knees.

I had to carry a casket containing a baby at Arlington. He was interred on his father's casket. It only took 2 of us to carry it. I got the rest of the day off.

Think about it. What other choice did they have?

True, but soon those women will be able to be stoned. I mean the kind where they bury the gal up to her head and throw rocks at her.

Hmm, makes this trial sound trivial.

Juan Williams says that we have to allow for young black males with chips on their shoulders and excuse them when they attack people. Also, getting beat up isn’t a big deal.

If they had a verdict why wouldn’t they just deliver it tonight and go home? i think they’re just used to ending their day around 6PM, and they’ve had a long day.

It depends on the verdict. If they say "not guilty", then there may be trouble. If they announce Saturday morning, the troublemakers will still be in bed.

The message is quite simple and direct: when it comes to black violence, you don't have a right to defend yourselves.

Now there's a line in the sand we can safely be assured will be crossed. Of course it's not racist to prepare for riots when by NBPP, SEIU, and Zero/Eric's DOJ have all been clamoring for such a response, irrespective of the due process consideration of the evidence and the Constitutionally-mandated verdict from the jury.

Anyone that calls it racist is simply an anti-Constitutionalist thug.

Right.

These are generalized grievances ("somebody hurt my feelings!") looking for a specific but increasingly illusive cause!

Al Gore is upset about the environment but he isn't exactly sure why. It might be anthropological global warming or maybe it's the cooling or, perhaps, it's just the stormy weather in his neighborhood.

In the final analysis, he hitched his star to the environment...and the environment hasn't lived up to its side of the bargain.

Same for Obama and Al Sharpton, they hitched their stars to racism...and since it didn't live up to its side of the bargain, they are creating/fabricating stories/lies from whole cloth.

Someone must pay for Trayvon...let's string up GZ. The law doesn't apply here, because GZ is white.

Let's get a rope and a tree.

That presentation was so smarmy and insincere that only an idiot would take it seriously.

She recently moved out of Chicago to get away from this schidt It’d make me cry too. Maybe one of her children had been beaten up like George ?

White liberals are the ones who promote hating whitey and the Western culture.

They had, but, they won't be. You [or me\ do something like that[ Publically announcing that you will pay a monetary sum to anyone who kills_______[Name someone] and very shortly afterward we would be in the graybar hotel.

I hope that I am wrong but, I haven't seen anything to convince me otherwise, but I got a feeling that Zimmerman will be found guilty as charged.
