I think I get it: So now its white folks who are assumed oppressed underdogs, turning tables and playing victim's advocate, guilty or not, because presumably that's what black people did about O.J Simpson, and other black guys who apparently invented crime in America, as if two wrongs add up to right.

Ok then I will toss the ball back and declare that it is fine that many black people were on O.J's side, and yes we did and will vote for Barack Obama just because he happens to be a brotha, qualified citizen or not. At least now we are on the same page as all the other illogical morons. Lol

And where did that scenario come from? Zimmerman's statement maybe? I have said this before that if, IF IF IF IF IF Zimmerman's statement is true, then TM is not a victim. If Zimmerman is lying, then TM is the victim. Make sense now?

Her account is as much of a "fact" as Zimmerman's statement. One of them is lying. I don't presume to know which one.

Actually you can charge him with discharging a firearm in a residential area, possible manslaughter, assualt I'm sure that the police dept can "find" something like they do with young males that they don't like

Guess you missed all the books, tv shows, movies, etc from other parents who have lost their children.

I'll wait to see what the money is used for before I say it's "absolutely morbid"

As far as the hoodie sales go...I have a 2008 Obama Hoodie...it's off-white and just says Obama 2008 in red, white and blue letters...if I can find it I'll post a pic of me wearing it.

Easy tea party members had a choice You cant compare a group formed out of hate to a race of people. Why is it so important to the right/tea party of this Country that zimmerman get away with this? Why are they angry that people are asking for justice? Lets face it some one like Trayvon according to the right/tea party doesnt deserve justice. What ever is done to him he deserved right?

Its this attitude all over again

If I had to put my money on who is lying it would be GZ. After all, he was the one with the gun and pulled the trigger. She has nothing to gain, he has everything to lose.

Yeah, that's a great idea.

Tell that to the folks down on the other side of Cuba. It is done all of the time, just apparently selective of when they apply it

Considering the fact that the head homicide detective was not satisfied with not arresting Zimmerman along with the obvious slipshod treatment of a crime scene, every citizen in this country should be angry about how this case was handled. Due process of law is what will either exonerate Zimmerman or bring him to trial. The due process of law was not adhered to by the Sanford PD.

It has nothing to do with it. Its the media trial that irks me. Its a lynch mob. I just finished watching a media lynching go wrong and the political hay that some people are trying to make out of is not making me happy. Lots of people die every day for really stupid reasons and not a peep, so we are not saving any lives here. On the other hand we have lots of potential for reactionary violence.
Yeah and I'm sure these same people were glad to see justice work when OJ was acquitted. These same people couldn't believe that Ron Brown got money from a man not convicted of a crime. Its so obvious why the right/tea party is doing all it can to let zimmerman get away with this.
