I pray for a fair and just verdict. My support and thoughts go out to the Zimmerman family and the defense team as we wait.

Rush was not against Zim, he was just sick of the wall to wall coverage.

He also did not say much due to fact he has to live and work down there.

He did say it was a Liberal lynching and typical liberalism run amuck

Of course it depends on the evidence. That’s why I advocate a hearing of some sort where it is diligently presented. Self-defense claims, in particular, would be a kind that might appear to provide an avenue to murder for an unscrupulous person. So, the evidence must be systematically investigated and presented at a formal hearing in any self-defense claim.

JMHO

Here is the whole Mark O’Mara media-slaying transcript courtesy Dr Deth:

Through the miracle of TIVO, see MSNBC Lean Forward, and take it on the nose like George Zimmerman did:

MO’M: Thanks guys, appreciate the time... oh, someone said it was the last question so...

Pressbabe: Please, just a very quick um I wasazummarummarummanational network. From your private conversations with George Zimmerman, what was the most compelling statement from George Zimmerman that made you believe in his innocence?

MO’M: I think there’s not just one but I think if you really want to look at the statements, the first opportunity that he... he could say something about this case, he said “I was screaming out for help and nobody came.”

MO’M: When Officer Cerrino (sp?) challenged him and said “I think there may be a video of this” he said “Thank God.” I dismiss with disgust the State’s suggestion that he was some cop wannabe savant who knew that he could take on that bluff. I think that really speaks to what George was going through that night and how he presented it. So if you wanna look for some insight from him that was it.

Pressbabe: Was he crying to you?

MO’M: I’m sorry?

Pressbabe: Did he ever cry to you, show any emotions?

MO’M: Ab... absolutely. 16 months of some people calling him the most hated man in America for having defended his own life even if he had a need for 45 seconds, and then a man who believes in the system, whose Dad was a judge, who maybe wanted to be a cop or a prosecutor, then gets into 2... 2 systems went against George Zimmerman that he can’t understand.

MO’M: You guys, the media, he was like a patient on an operating table with a mad scientist committing experiments on him and he had no anaesthesia. He didn’t know why he was turned into this monster, but quite honestly you guys had a lot to do with it. You just did, because you took a story that was fed to you and you ran with it, and you ran right over him, and that was horrid to him.

MO’M: Them he comes into a system that he trusts, let’s not forget - six voluntary statements, voluntary surrender, and he believes in a system that that he really wanted to be part of, right? And then he gets prosecutors that charge him with a crime that they could never, ever prove. It’s not like - they didn’t lose evidence on the way, right?

MO’M: I don’t think anyone would argue with me in this room that they had evidence of second-degree murder. This “in your heart” kind of stuff, that’s not what we’re supposed to do and it’s not what they’re supposed to do. So those two systems failed him.

“I teared up listening to MOM! He truly is a GREAT AMERICAN willing to speak out against a corrupt media. I won’t watch them.... any of them, FOX included!”

That WAS a really great smackdown! I wonder what media will be reporting what he said today?

“LOL, I suspect so. I also suspect that Sylbrina (sp) will have to go back to actually working for a living”

They already got paid from the housing development. I suspect it will keep her in drugs for a while.

thanks for this summary.

picked these last 2 lines that are the essence, besides the political posturing, of what many who are complaining will miss.

1. The media should reports the facts, and just those, no drama or
mistruths

2. The legal system should deal with the facts, and not the emotions.

Thank God that GZ had MOM & Don West to stand tall and drive these points home.

Last takeaway...

GZ trusted the system and it let him down.

MOM & Don West, along with GZ’s family stood tall and Justice was rendered for the right person.

We saw a living example of the land of the free, and the home of the Brave.

Very good comment. Thank you. I never heard about the other self defense shooting.

BTW, my daughter who works hard as well as assists with care of her mother-in-law has little time to read alternative news. When I called her last night to alert her of a verdict, she said, “Oh, the man who followed that person”. I was shocked but not surprised that she thought George had followed someone since her news comes from TV.

She and her husband have conceal carry permits.

free yourself from the media control. I don’t watch anything they want me to. no i’m not perfect. they still affect me and i still waste time . but i’m trying and I least i know who my slavers are the media and what they are doing. most people don’t see what the media is or what they are doing


Well stated.

MOM’s comments to them were right on in that regard re their treatment of GZ
