They just need to find the “right kind” of jury, you see.
There was no evidence of racism in this case, save perhaps on the part of Martin himself. And on the part of Obama, Sharpton, Crump, and others — the media chief among them — who have determined, or at least, they’re making noises to suggest such, that it’s better to double down, venue shop, and keep this racialist farce going, than it is to simply let what was already a farce avoid the travesty they seem desperate to make of it. So that we learn our places.
This is revolting lawfare.
I’d like to see Jeralyn Merritt as part of Zimmerman’s defense team. Though a leftist, Jeralyn has always aimed to remain honest — a nearly impossible balancing act, so excuse her if she occasionally fails — and as Physics Geek points out in the comments, on this she’s been dead on.
This is not a political, left/right case — though that’s what it’s been turned into by those whose political agenda is to keep the racial tensions riled up, and to hammer home the “gun violence” message that, in this case, rings even more hollow, given that but for his sidearm, Zimmerman himself may have been beaten headlong into a vegetable or worse.
This is a case that should be about justice and the facts. As should all cases that go before courts. Florida failed miserably in this regard, and I’ve already said everyone from the GOP Governor to the GOP elected Corey should resign in shame.
But right along with them, Obama should just learn to keep his stupid, divisive, manipulative, cynically, hyper-partisan trap shut, and Sharpton long ago should have been ushered off the public stage.
My response to this latest bit of nonsense is this: Zimmerman should turn around and sue the President, Sharpton, the DOJ sub-section that “managed” protests, ABC News, and a host of others on those same civil rights grounds, noting that they not only have conspired to prevent him from getting a fair trial, but that they continue to besmirch his good name — and all of it out of a desire to promote a racialist and anti-gun political agenda.
Maybe then, we as a country could finally find a judge or jury sick enough of all the racial politicking to return “civil rights” back to what they were meant to be, and not solely the money-making, shake-down avenue for disgusting racists like Holder, Sharpton, Crump, and the “racially-sensitive” media types who felt it their duty not to report the facts of the case as they became evident, but rather to create and stoke a white-on-black racial narrative.
Zimmerman Will Move ‘ASAP’ on Lawsuit Against NBC for Fraudulent Audio Editing
Good, nr.
Jeff, I agree with Jeralyn’s take on this debacle, as well.
– The FBI already looked at the evidence and rejected any chargers so trying to do so now would, as a minimum, require substitive “new” evidence. The only “new” evidence since they did their investigation is the phony bullshit editing on transcripts by some of the mediots, so they probably wouldn’t want to go to court with that.
Time for payback:
Here’s how NBC News, in a March 27, 2012, broadcast of the “Today” show, abridged the tape of Zimmerman’s comments to a police dispatcher on the evening of Feb. 26, 2012:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.
The full tape went like this:
Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about. Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?
Zimmerman: He looks black.
NBC Universal Media responded to the Zimmerman complaint by noting that other media outlets played up the racial angle of Zimmerman’s deadly encounter with Trayvon Martin.
The company also noted the pivotal nature of the second-degree murder case: “[I]f Zimmerman is convicted, that fact alone will constitute substantial evidence that the destruction of his reputation is the result of his own criminal conduct, and not of the broadcasts at issue which, like countless other news reports disseminated by media entities throughout the country, reported on the underlying events.”
That formulation is now null.
– GZ should go after everyone of the bastards.
The usage of language for narrative: (could this be admissible in a fed civil case?)
“So when Martin circled back to teach the “creepy-ass cracker” a lesson in respect …”
When the text was first revealed, it read “creepy ass-cracker,” then fixed: so that the narrative of the cherubic Trademark was not homophobic (look up ass-cracker” in UrbanDiction-airy-fairy). The horrors if it got out that most blacks (not only gangsta wannabes) are homophobic … Remember the (now disappeared) internals of the statistics on Prop 8 in CA, that blacks were for Prop 8 (no ghey marriage)?
[by] noting that other media outlets played up the racial angle….
– “They were doing it to!” – Everyone on the Left continue to prove they are children in a grown up world. I’m sure that excuse will play well with a defamation suit jury.
– Sharpton, and the rest of the race baiting industry will need a new invented crisus for their next paydays. Bumblefuck has pretty much wimped out on this one.
White Supremacy Acquits George Zimmerman
http://www.thenation.com/blog/175260/white-supremacy-acquits-george-zimmerman
“Whiteness Studies works exactly the same way classical antisemitism works, and still does work. Jews are said to be controlling absolutely everything, including people’s consciousness. The Jew is responsible for everything bad, because everything bad is, to the antisemite, the definition of Jewishness. There is no way out of this logic, which is total and pitiless, once its initial premise has been granted. It is a conspiracy theory and thus immune to reason and argument. True white supremacists play this game too. They take everything wrong with society and say it’s the product of non-white values, forces, etc. In formulating her “theory” of “white supremacy,” then, Bogado, too, is operating according to white supremacist logic. Her theory–rather, its essential thought process–is not new. Today it’s called Whiteness Studies and gets people tenure and good salaries at universities. In 1933, in Leipzig or Frankfurt am Main, it would have been known as something else.”

McClatchy is reporting that the FBI saw Zimmerman as “having little hero complex, but not as a racist.”
Apparently, the FBI report makes it really hard to proceed.
Among the revelations found in nearly 300 pages of records:
• An ex-girlfriend said Zimmerman had outbursts and sometimes threatened suicide. She suspected it was a result of Accutane, the acne medicine he took. She said he was the “last person in the world” she thought would be involved in such an incident.
• The ex girlfriend said she and Zimmerman had a violent argument when she caught him on a singles dating web site, even though they were engaged to be married.
Good stuff for a civil rights case, ya think ???
Here‘s the (ostensibly) normally coherent Charles P. Pierce on the Zimmerman thing:
It gets even more stupid after that. It’s as if he imagines that this court case is determining case law in some important way. As if all of a sudden, white Hispanics and other racists now have some kind of legal standing to just fucking blast away at punks without needing a real reason.
And Esquire used to be a decent publication, once upon a time. Or so I hear.
“Good stuff for a civil rights case, ya think ???”
when does “st trayvon” stand trial?
Oh. Yeah. The Nation pastes Zimmerman with the White Supremacist tag because his lawyers had the audacity to defend him, and to cross-examine a witness who had already repeatedly lied about her version of events.
Racist of me, I know. Probably makes me a Nazi.
oh eff you clown
“As a judge on the Illinois Fourth District Appellate Court, I wrote a decision 14 years ago urging trial judges to make a record regarding a defendant’s decision to testify precisely as the trial judge did with George Zimmerman, which, of course, must take place out of the presence of the jury. (See People v. Frieberg, 305 Ill. App. 3d 840, 852, 238 Ill. Dec. 964, 973, 713 N.E.2d 210, 219 (4th Dist. 1999).) I’m gratified to report that trial judges throughout Illinois are following my advice and admonishing defendants accordingly.”

Al Sharpton has every bit of my disrespect.
Seriously, how long did we have to wait for it to be legally enshrined that a black person in the wrong neighborhood ought to have deference and respect towards complete strangers under pain of death? Now all law abiding, gun toting Coloradans, or any trigger happy suburban superhero can hunt any ‘uppity’ black stranger daring to walk down a white street. Ask them what they’re doing here, and if they answer without the proper deference – just fire away. Good to know you’ll be on the side championing the murder of black children and framing it as some sort of noble constitutional throwdown.
Oh Dalekhunter can you type nothing but stupid dishonest bullshit shit with those chubby twerp fingers of yours?
Ah, so dalekhunter finally got his download of talking points from the hive mind.
Odd how it omits the whole assault and battery thing Trayvon was committing against Zimmerman which was the real reason why he got shot, not “lack of deference” or whatever.
Oh sorry, did you think everyone was asleep little one?
I mean punching someone in the nose, knocking them down, mounting them, and then popping their head into pavement is “answering without the proper deference” ? Really? That’s the best lie you have ready to go?
True, I’m sure you are reasonable and calm every time a complete stranger asks who you are and what you’re doing while in public acting “suspicious.” Oh wait, you have no idea how you would react or what that feels like because your existence outdoors isn’t considered a threat, because you have access to privilege that is not universal. You are deemed safe, ordinary, and good, Trayvon was killed for daring to be black in public. It’s simple – and you’re stirring the pot for the most virulent strain of American bigotry.
The only people I’ve heard talking about being on the lookout for scary black kids out wandering around, are the professional race baiters and grievance hustlers who insist that George Zimmerman was on the lookout for scary black kids out wandering around.
Coincidentally —or not— they’re the same people talking about violence. Although usually George Zimmerman is spoken of as the object of that violence, not the subject of it.
Does anyone think that self defense laws will somehow only apply to young black males?
Are hispanics who are 1/4 black not entitled to use existing self defense laws to defend themselves from physical aggravated assault? Is it because they are likely to be cop wanna be creepy ass crackers?
Is Dalekhunter such a racist douchebag that he immediately presumes that young black men are totally incapable of not trying to beat down neighborhood watch volunteers who ask what they are doing wandering around in the dark in a rainy neighborhood while on the phone with the police?
This is the most hilariously stupid/ignorant/dishonest line argument that I have ever heard.
the weird German thing has been sent into moderation mode. I’ll let Jeff decide what to do with it.
When did that happen? The part where somebody got asked what they were doing?
Because I think George Zimmerman knew what Trayvon Martin was doing when the back of his head started hitting the concrete. At the very latest.

DaleK, I’ve thought you stupid before, but now you’re in malice territory. Martin took FOUR MINUTES to circle back, sucker punch George, then proceed to try and bash his skull into the pavement. George never acted unlawfully at any time in the encounter and only shot his gun once in self-defense.
Maybe Martin should have not started trying to KILL George for the crime of “disrespecting” him.
Don’t bring a sidewalk to a gun fight, bucko.
Also, most “reasonable and calm” people tend to not engage in physical assault when asked what they’re doing wandering the neighborhood.
Alas, I really can’t expect your tiny overheated little head to acutally think about the talking points you were handed. Your poor mind would implode under the stress.
“True, I’m sure you are reasonable and calm every time a complete stranger asks who you are and what you’re doing while in public acting “suspicious.”
Of course I am.
“Oh wait, you have no idea how you would react or what that feels like because your existence outdoors isn’t considered a threat, because you have access to privilege that is not universal.”
That’s weird. I see cops talking to ‘suspicious’ white dudes or running them off farily regularly. That’s in the liberal utopia of Austin. Many of them are young males. Maybe you just don’t have the slightest idea what the fuck you are taking about with your silly privilege assumptions.
” You are deemed safe, ordinary, and good,”
By who?
” Trayvon was killed for daring to be black in public. It’s simple – and you’re stirring the pot for the most virulent strain of American bigotry. ”
Trayvon was killed for beating on a man with a gun who didn’t want to be beat on anymore and had the right to defend himself from the damage being commited to his person by a physical assailant. Trayvon was killed because he was violent and stupid and a demonstrated severe threat to physical well being of the person who killed him. You making excuses for him is making excuses for unnecessary violent stupidity when ti comes from minority perpetrators. It has nothing to do with privilege. It has to do with a lack of common sense and self control. A white guy with the same lack of common sense wandering around in the dark and attacking George when asked who he was, probably would have got shot too.
Now, now… don’t crowd the drone. Let it get it’s downloads from the hive mind so it can continue following the script…
I still want to know when Zimmerman asked Martin anything.
Dalekhunter is a lousy fucking liar with no sense of what human beings would find credible. He is a disgraceful useful idiot who has the critical faculties of a parrot in a pavlovian transaction. He will unconditionally believe ANY leftist cartoon fantasy narrative because he IS that stupid and easy to manipulate. I pity the fool.
Says the guy who just asserted that gun owners were just greenlighted to “hunt ‘uppity’ black strangers” as if being a “law abiding, gun toting Colorad[an], or [a]trigger happy suburban superhero” was synonymous with being a Klansman.
Looks like the germanic and now french spam is selling music headphones.
I don’t like SPAM!
Bloody Vikings…
Dalekhunter : You have no idea how violent and retarded you might be if everyone thought you were totally violent and retarded and always treated you like you were violent and reatrded. Oh yeah and white people with guns in colorado will totally hunt black people now. Because of Florida self defense laws.

Being a white Hispanic, Zimmerman is expendable. Saint Trayvon is sanctified. Because fuck you, cracker.
“Are hispanics who are 1/4 black not entitled to use existing self defense laws to defend themselves from physical aggravated assault? – See more at: https://proteinwisdom.com/?p=50077#comments”
You’re assuming that they care about facts. They don’t.
True enough, Zimmerman isn’t exactly eligible for Klan membership, but that won’t stand in the way of a good racist rant, any more than the fact that his attorneys did not use the “stand your ground” defense will stop them from using the case to attack on syg.
Have I mentioned that I hate that thing that adds the original URL to any quoted text?
Hey, dalekhunter, how many times would you be OK with having your head bounced off a sidewalk?
Well, them and the mayor of Philadelphia.
“Seriously, how long did we have to wait for it to be legally enshrined that a black person in the wrong neighborhood”
Most of your crapola has been dealt with above, but this deserves a callout. The neighborhood, like Zimmerman himself, is thoroughly racially mixed.
What. A. Raaaaacist.
“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery, then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” — Jesse Jackson
What wasn’t diverse was the cohort that was committing burglaries and home invasions. That was uniformly young, black and male.
“Hey, dalekhunter, how many times would you be OK with having your head bounced off a sidewalk?”
Hey, dalekhunter, how many times (given your access to privilege that is not universal) would be OK with having your ‘questions answered without the proper deference’ and with multiple high impulse inelastic collisions with concrete? (Assuming you are deemed safe, ordinary, and good.)
-fixed so Dalekhunter can read the question in an approximation of his own screwed up language-
DK looks kinda like a spammer to me…
Do is Dalekhunter a real troll, a complete moron, or some combination of the two? Because his comments in the past led me to believe that Jeff (or someone else) had created a parody user ID for grins and giggles. I’m starting to believe that he’s real though, and it’s disconcerting to think that so much stupid could be compressed into so small of a package.
One more update from Jeralyn this morning:
This case has been miscast as a civil rights issue since the day the Martin family’s lawyers came on the scene. If the public wants to be believe them, that’s their right. If they want to bring civil lawsuits against George Zimmerman or law enforcement or public entities, that’s their choice. But when it comes to those lawyers and their public relations team using their bully pulpit to inflame passions and exert undue influence on the actions of law enforcement and public officials, including elected prosecutors, who have a duty not to bring charges without a good faith belief they can prove those charges beyond a reasonable doubt, all the while having a financial stake in the outcome of related civil litigation, I object.
Yeah, I know I keep quoting her stuff, but she’s one of the few honest, sane leftists that I’ve seen or heard while this show trial unfolded. It seems good to point out that there are still some left.
Dalekhunter is, here, equating “being black in public” with “assault and battery”. Which is, it should go without saying, more earnestly racist than any of the deliberately over-the-top sarcastic liberal-mocking invective that gets uttered here.
Physics Geek says July 15, 2013 at 6:23 am – so much stupid could be compressed into so small of a package
Sort of a
black hole(oops racist!) singularity for stupid?The public has the right to be wilfully stupid.
Dalekhunter is sort of like Tokyo Rose or Lord Haw-Haw piping in scary dogmatic disruptive messaging from the enemy. Only way more automated and way less talented.
The thing that kills me about this case is that the rioting mobs are acting just as aggrieved after more facts have come out as they were before when the media was making stuff up. For some, they just haven’t bothered to stay informed, but for others they fixate on one thing like “the operator told him to stop following”.
If you accept that approaching a person, regardless of race, is grounds to have your nose broken and your head pounded bloody on pavement whatever a LEO or 911 operator might say beforehand, you have a problem with reality.
There was an episode of Law and Order (last one I ever watched), where a young white man was dropped off in a dangerous black neighborhood by a couple of cops who wanted rid of him. The man was killed, and the cops were put on trial for murder. There was never any mention of finding the people who actually killed the man. I was so disgusted by the premise, I refused to ever watch the show again.
But that is a variation of what we’re seeing here: The media (and much of the “black community”) have decided that George Zimmerman deserved whatever happened to him, no questions asked, for daring to approach a black man against the advice of the 911 operator. Travon’s part in the matter doesn’t matter at all; he simply should never have been approached.
Sure I am. That’s why the President calls me names, the Vice President impugns my sanity and intelligence, and whole agencies of the U.S. Government have devoted themselves to silencing my opinions.
Late to the party re: dalekhunter’s stupid remarks.
This guy (dalek) must be quite young. When I was a kid, Trademark’s age, it was common practice for homeowners to ask strangers on foot, especially teens, what they were doing and where they were going. This isn’t an unreasonable request in a neighborhood that has been plagued by home invasions and burglaries and is the privilege of any homeonwner, especially when there are common areas that are owned by all. Trespassing is a crime and Tiny Trayvon was trespassing as far as anyone knew. Perhaps if the long gone “fiancée” of Tracy Martin had been a better neighbor, she could have given the rest of the place a heads-up that her “stepson” was staying at the house for a while.
Likewise, if Tiny Trayvon hadn’t had a stick up his ass about being disrespected, he would have cowardly sucker-punched a guy, knocked him on the grass and started curb stomping him resulting in his getting sent home to Jesus ahead of schedule.
Let’s turn that “[non-blacks] are deemed safe, ordinary and good” on its head for a moment, shall we?
You don’t suppose Trayvon Martin is dead because he assumed that assaulting George Zimmerman was a low-risk proposition, do you?
Speaking of Lord Haw-Haw, did anyone see where the government has come out and officially started making news for consumers? No need to pretend anymore…
Obviously the sequester forced Trayvon to a life of violence. And guns used their demon powers to turn Zimmerman into a racist man-hunting killer with some help from global warming and tax loopholes.
Just so we’re all clear, the 911 operator didn’t advise George Zimmerman to do, or not to do, anything. 911 operators don’t give advice. “We don’t need you to do that.” [i.e. follow the suspicious guy who looks like he’s on drugs or something] Is an observation, perhaps a prompt.
*What wasn’t diverse was the cohort that was committing burglaries and home invasions. That was uniformly young, black and male.*
See? This. Its been downplayed significantly, because god forbid, we acknowledge that blacks commit a significant percentage of crimes, but the neighborhood had experienced some burglaries and Zimmerman was well within his rights to keep an eye out for suspicious persons. For better or for worse, there’s a reason why an unfamiliar black guy in a hoodie appears suspicious to most people who aren’t completely insane. Who knows whether St. Trayvon, while oh so innocently getting skittles and tea, wasn’t casing the local houses for some innocent burglary with the oh so innocent burglary tools found in his oh so innocent locker at school.
The sheer amount of lunacy on my Facebook feed about “Justice for Trademark” caused some unfriending over the weekend. And some of these idiots have law degrees.
* I’m starting to believe that he’s real though, and it’s disconcerting to think that so much stupid could be compressed into so small of a package.*
It explains the last election, anyway.
It was a 411 operator by the way. The non-emergency report line.
911 was called by the lady who heard the screaming and saw from a distance and in the darkness a big person on top of a small person and later after hearing it was a man and a kid assumed that the bigger one must have been the older man. Which was helped along by everyone showing five year old pictures of trayvon when he was 11 or 12 instead of current ones where he is mugging with gold teeth or blowing smoke shapes or flipping off the camera.
411? Something I did not know.
Whoops. 311.
palaeomerus says July 15, 2013 at 8:04 am – “five year old pictures of trayvon when he was 11 or 12 “
The media has done so much in this case to try to cause race violence. If something happens to Zimmerman, the media should be hit with a huge lawsuit at the very least.
I think something culpable already happened to Zimmerman.
It was neither. It was a non-emergency police number that GZ called. He never got a chance to call 911 because he became busy trying not to get killed.
palaeo, the picture of Trayvon Martin flipping off the camera isn’t a picture of this Trayvon Martin, but a different Trayvon Martin.
Never name a kid Trayvon.
This isn’t him?
http://weaselzippers.us/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/trayvon-martin-finger.jpg
One of them is, another is not.
Mayor Mike Bloomberg evidently would like to extend the non-emergency operator’s suggestion “We don’t need you to do that” (which has been rewritten by the race-baiters as “Stay in your car”) — to remove any “Stand your ground” laws (for which Bloomberg substitutes the terms “Shoot first”!) — such that Bloomberg would say, just as in Watertown, Ma., “Stay in your house”.
Don’t bother to come out. They don’t need you to do that.
*** New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is calling for an end to “shoot first” laws — better known as “Stand Your Ground” laws — in the wake of the “not guilty” verdict in the trial of George Zimmerman.
“Sadly, all the facts in this tragic case will probably never be known. But one fact has long been crystal clear: ‘shoot first’ laws like those in Florida can inspire dangerous vigilantism and protect those who act recklessly with guns,” Bloomberg said in a statement Sunday. ***
A Second Amendment? You don’t need that, because you can stay in your house. Just let Mike Bloomberg take care of everything.
Worse yet are the ‘shoot first’ laws in NYC.
See also the LAPD.
Nanny Mike thinks it’s unsporting not to let the criminals fire the first shot.
Stupid shitface thinks real life is a Lone Ranger cartoon.
The sheer amount of lunacy on my Facebook feed about “Justice for Trademark” caused some unfriending over the weekend. And some of these idiots have law degrees.
Here’s a move you can make to separate real friends from old school acquaintances who are not worth keeping on Facebook. Post this.
Meanwhile, one can only hope that “Dalekhunter” gets his head bashed in or is otherwise subjected to the tender mercies of the people for whom his phony heart bleeds. Karma.
re: level-headed commentary on the verdict
If Ta-Nehisi Coates told me the sky were blue, I’d check multiple internet outlets and verify personally before believing him, but, when he’s right, he’s right.
Of course it would be Society™’s fault, for White Privilege™ and raaaaacism and Bush and Sarah Palin and blue M&M’s and whatever else popped into his Biden-like noggin.
Coates has about 40% of it right. He’s still wrong on whether there was probable cause to arrest Zimmerman — if there had been, the prosecution wouldn’t have looked like a Bulgarian circus.
whether there was probable cause to arrest Zimmerman
Heh.
The very definition of prejudice is to be found in the disruption of the ongoing investigation in Sanford (as though there were something untoward in the methodical nature of the thing! But Mammy! O Great Teat! METHOD is all, taught our first teacher, René).
“Not fast enough!” screamed the race-baiters. “Jump to the conclusion now! We don’t need the facts!”
“Shoot first” is another fucking lie told by a lying fuck. Just like everything else in this case. Zimmerman didn’ shoot first. Martin “curb-stomped” (so to speak) first. Zimmerman shot after. Rightly so.
Yeah, Coates really steps on his dick with his last point. The case didn’t go national because of the Sanford police; it went national because of the Obama campaign and a criminally incompetent state attorney.
Of course it would be Society™’s fault, for White Privilege™ and raaaaacism and Bush and Sarah Palin and blue M&M’s and whatever else popped into his Biden-like noggin.
Or his Gramsci like noggin.
But anyway, feel free to post and use the Facebook link I linked earlier. It is sad to come across old school or former employment acquaintances only to discover they are Commiecrats or dupes thereof, but separating wheat from chaff is rewarding.
Oh, and I’ve every reason to believe that not only would Dale K. Hunter acquiesce to having his head bashed against a sidewalk — he’s had it happen several times in the past. Submit to his moral authority!
So his moniker wasn’t a reference to Dr. Who and Daleks?
I’m sure it was. I just refuse to play along.
And then, apart from the possible further persecution of the Feds, there’s Mrs. Zimmerman remaining to be tried.
Apologies. For clarity’s sake, that should have been written “by the Feds”, rather than “of”.
I’m sure it was. I just refuse to play along.
The dupe can call himself “Jedi Master” all he wants. He remains a dupe.
Speaking of which, it will be amusing when a tattooed young liberal hipster dupe like Dale K. Hunter gets older and find out his cool belly tattoo reads “Rice Porridge Congee with Marinated Snake Heads Available at Yah-Hee’s next to the Third Outer Beltway and Tiananmen Square in Beijing.” Surprise, you little Emo-core Leftist aficionado, your tattoo does not read “free-spirited Tibetan Warrior.”
And when these hipsters try to buy a home of their own? Enjoy those high-density, “walkable” Shantytown Moonbeam-Obamaville Urban Villages, filled with budding Trayvon Martin gangsta thugs who will “keep it real” by bashing Dale K Hunter’s head in. And they won’t be the David Mogavero-inspired vision of New Urbanism/Alt Lifestyles. They will be the slums of the future.
But not this part:
In TNC’s book, evidently “confrontation” equates somehow to “beatdown”.
Also this:
If he’s anywhere near right in this, I’d like a list of states for which this statement is NOT true, so that I can avoid them like the plague. Even if it’s he-said/he-said in cases where both participants are alive, the accused winds up walking so long as his story holds up.
“His fingernails have never been so clean.”
The problem with the state’s case wasn’t that Z was the only eyewitness. It was that the forensics didn’t contradict Z’s version of events. When the only eyewitness is corroborated by physical evidence, that’s a tough case to fight even when you don’t have the burden of proof.
I just hope the Zimmermans are thoughtful enough that they let these various lawfare attacks run their course, and then soak NBC and the rest for millions. After that, I sincerely hope that they are able to live their lives in comfortable obscurity.
I caught the tail end of it, but from the bit of Rush I heard, it sounds to me like nobody wanted to deal with the problem that was Trayvon Martin until George Zimmerman had no choice except to deal with the problem that was Trayvon Martin when that problem became life threatening.
The irony here is that the best reason for finding that plausible is everything we’ve learned about the dispreputable kind of person Martin was.
That is, Martin was the kind of 17 year old on his way
hometo the residence where he was staying as a guest after buying skittles and ice tea who’d rather circle back around to ambush (or “confront,” if we want to throw the Martin-partisans’ words back at them) a stranger who happened to be following him in a neighborhood he (Martin) didn’t belong to, instead of getting himself back to his “home” asap.Ernst: Rush was giving a shout-out to RSM for this piece.
(Okay, he was actually talking about the American Spectator version of same, but close enough.)
Thanks for pointing me to that John.
“The dupe can call himself “Jedi Master” all he wants. He remains a dupe. ”

They thought they were progressives. I’d say they were more in the useful idiots category.
Are all of you as excited as I am to see what happens when the full weight of government is thrown against someone who dared to defend themselves? Anyone else think that, just perhaps, Zimmerman is going to used as an example so the serfs don’t get uppity?
I was listening to Levin on the way home, and decided that even the great Levin can completely miss the point of Eric Holder announcing that his department is going after Zimmerman.
Old Uncle Joe is probably smiling somewhere, knowing that his spirit lives on in modern America.
It’s pretty much all over but the shooting.
Dana Perino (bless her heart) opined today that what we need are more police, then this kind of thing wouldn’t have to happen.
Leigh, if my Southern Decoder Ring is working correctly, you just called Dana “a few bricks shy of a full load.” But in a nice way.
” what we need are more police, then this kind of thing wouldn’t have to happen. ”
she’s a coward according to holder. what we need is a discussion of low class blacks dysfunction and how the demonrats us it to gain/keep power
Yes, I confess I did, Blake.

Just hang the word “Chicago” above that one and it becomes true.
well, leigh, there are those who are really nice and mean well, but just don’t live in the same world as the rest of us. The South rose to the occasion with “bless their heart.”
We used to have a joke about about it.
A kid grabs his cane fishing pole and his mom stops him and says “where are you going with that hon? ” and the kid says ” I thought I go catch some perch at the stock tank today. ” His mom gets her brow furrowed and she says “I’m sorry but I thought you knew that the stock tank dried up. It’s just cracked mud now. We probably won’t see it full again until October at the earliest. That’s why your uncle sold the calves early. Remember?” The kid says ” Oh. ” Ten minutes later his mom sees him leaving the house with his fishing pole and a shovel…bless his heart.
We are well-mannered as can be, Blake. Those of us who were properly raised, that is.
Zimmerman, Bernie Goetz. This isn’t new.
Except Bernie was crazy and went to prison.
Leigh, I’m not so nearly refined. I was born on the left coast and raised by way of Northwest.
Some say I’m crazy, others think I’m confused. Mostly, they just shake their heads and wonder, “What wrong with that boy?”
*what’s
Palaeomerus..hah!
The last time the media/leftie crowd coronated a n’er do well, he got a street in Paris named after him: remember Mumia?
I’m wondering how long it’ll be before Les Parisiennes install the Rue Trayvon signs in a banlieue along the Seine.
A lot of people rue Trayvon…
steve, at the rate France is going, the sign will be in Arabic.
– All signs and flags in France are white, so its racist before you even get started.
