Is there something wrong with what he is doing by getting involved? Please expalin because I cannot see it.
What leads you to believe he is not being given due process, would you rather just string Zimmerman up?

I guess you will not be taking any time off for the death of anyone in your family. I am sure they will appreciate you keeping a stiff upper lip and trotting along.

Are you in a position to deem that "due process of the law" was not granted?

More importantly, are you on the grand jury? Are you even an attorney?

What bothers me most about this case....almost more than the death itself.....is the number of people who willfully and eagerly engage of the public lynching of George Zimmerman without the slightest regard for the actual process of due diligence.

You want him arrested, fine. But shouldn't he be arrested in accordance with the law and the Constitution?

Of course he should. That's where you folks get it all wrong.

Why would you even mention the fact about a "scared racist" with a gun???

So...let me get this right...

You want to discuss the merits of the case...You have made many digressions against your own merit in all 3 threads on this matter...

When somebody calls you out on your BS and asks you to stand behind your statements...you say "Can we get back to the merits of this case?"

You said "Only thing worse than a racist with a gun is a SCARED racist with a gun"....

Now, if you weren't talking about Zimmerman...Who were you talking about??

And... If indeed it WASN'T Zimmerman.... Is it safe to assume you totally derailed the thread with that comment and went against your own banter about doing exactly that????

This is just way too easy with you.....

The overwhelming majority of the country knows this was nothing more than pure racism.

There is no law against being a "racist".

Nope. But did you wonder how CNN knew ahead of time he was doing it? If it was all about the boy, the media would have just seen him there and reported on it. But in this case, somebody had to make the announcement ahead of time that Sharpton was going. Who do you think announced it to the media?

Do you not know this guys history? You think he is involved because he deeply cares? This and is always about himself. That and look at the errors of his judgement in the past.

Does anyone actually think that Al Sharpton brings anything of value to any situation he is involved in?

If so, please explain.
Depending on how far he goes..I can see riots resulting from this.
I hope LE has spoken to him about his "tone".

I don't care about Al at all, he is there probably to lend his method of support, and for the attnetion grabbing this is getting!

However at the end of the day, these parents, have a dead Son, and as a Parent, i would be devestated by the way it happened also. I do feel sorry for the parents and their loss of such a young song.
